Starting Admintool: Serial Ports

You can use the Admintool: Serial Ports graphical user interface for the following tasks on a local system.

  • Initialize a port without configuring the service.

  • Add a service.

  • Modify a service.

  • Disable a service.

  • Delete a service.

You perform each task by clicking the SELECT mouse button on the name of each port you want to configure and then choosing an item from the Edit menu. You choose Modify Service for the first four tasks and Delete Service if you want to delete the service for the selected port(s).

NOTE

Ordinarily, you can run Admintool without requiring root access if you are a member of GID 14. However, if you access Admintool through the Solaris Management Console, you must log in either as root or as a member of a role that grants you superuser permissions to run Admintool. Only then can you use Admintool to edit local password databases. The Solaris Management Console does not recognize membership in GID 14.


Use the following steps to access the Admintool: Serial Ports graphical user interface.
