HP t5515 Inside the t5515 Thin Client Linux: FAQs - Page 7

Q: How do you set up automatic user logon on at boot up time? A: Using the Security Applet (GO>Settings>Security), the System Administrator can select one user account to be automatically logged into the t5515 system at boot up. Turning the option off forces the user to log on to the system using the GUI log on window. When the system administrator needs to log on to the system with the automatic log on feature enabled for another user, they need to press the left shift key during the boot up process to enable the log on window. Q: What is the default Hostname for the t5515? A: The default hostname from the factory consists of the letters HP followed by the MAC address of the built-in Ethernet network interface modem. To change the hostname using the Network Management Applet the System Administrator needs to enable the Static address setup radio button on the IP Address Configuration window. Then click the next button to move to the DNS Configuration window. Place the cursor in the Host Name field and enter the new host name. The command hostname is also available to change or determine the current hostname. To change the hostname the System Administrator needs to create a hostname file and use the -F option. hostname [OPTION] {hostname | -F FILE} Get or set the hostname or DNS domain name. If a hostname is given (or FILE with the -F parameter), the host name will be set. Options: Options -s -i -d -f -F Description Short Addresses for the hostnam DNS domain name Fully qualified domain name FILE Use the contents of FILE to specify the hostname Example: # hostname # HP000AE468F96F # hostname -F hostname.conf # 7
