6.3 Linux
6.3.1 Running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager and Connecting to a Remote Red
Hat Linux Machine
When running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager and connecting to a remote Red Hat Linux
machine, you must modify the /etc/hosts files on the two machines to allow asynchronous
notifications from the agent to SANsurfer FC HBA Manager to operate properly.
To resolve this issue, create a new entry with the host IP address assigned to ethx. Modify
the existing entry by moving the hostname from the localhost line to the newly-created line.
For example:
Initial: 127.0.0.1 localhost runner.domain.com
Modified: 127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.1 runner.domain.com
6.3.2 Secure Portmapper
For Linux 7.x and Advanced Server 2.1, SANsurfer FC HBA Manager includes a new secure
portmapper. Add the statement portmap:ALL to the /etc/hosts.allow file for remote
communication to work properly between the graphical user interface and agents.

To change the current SANsurfer FC HBA Manager password, you must install the shadow

1. Install the shadow-utils Red Hat Package Manager (rpm) from <Linux 7.2 CD-1>:
/Red Hat/RPMS/shadow-utils-20000902-4.i386.rpm
2. Go to the /etc file, and then issue the pwconv command to convert the passwords
to shadow password format.
