requiring default PAM authentication settings. The rpm can also be run independently of the
install script.
NOTE: This automated step must be performed after any actions that install their own X server
configuration files because, in step (a) above, these files are modified to load the rge module
required for proper RGS Sender functionality. If these files are replaced or modified later, the
modules modifications described below must be correctly executed.
6. If you choose not to use the customization described in step 5, perform the following steps to
update the respective configuration:
a. Add the "rge" extension to the X Server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf). In the
Modules section of this file, add the following line:
Load "rge"
The Module section should now read as follows:
Section "Module"
...
Load "rge"
...
EndSection
Next, you need to disable the Composite extension. To do this, add this text just below the
Section "Module" that you just edited to add the rge extension:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
The RGS Sender will be installed to /opt/hpremote/rgsender, and will be started
automatically when the X Server or system is restarted.
b. The Linux RGS Sender uses the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for
authentication. If you are using the GNOME Desktop Manager or KDE Desktop Manager,
add the following line to the files listed below:
session optional pam_rg.so
Files (and all related derivatives):
/etc/pam.d/gdm
/etc/pam.d/kdm
/etc/pam.d/xdm
c. Some Linux distribution versions utilize newer or older PAM support modules and support
conventions. The rgsender_config_64*-.rpm performs configuration analysis to determine
types of pam_unix*.so, pam_env*.so, common-auth, and pam_stack.so may apply to your
configuration for the /etc/pam.d/rgsender configuration file. If you choose to do all of your
own customizations manually, please run the rgsender_config_64*-rpm at least once on a
test system to determine an example of any customizations that you might need in your
current environment.
