4-5-2 Using PSCP to copy a file to the client computer To copy a file to the client computer: 1. Open a command window on the Windows computer where pscp.exe is installed. 2. cd to the directory where pscp.exe is installed. 3. Specify the local file (on the Windows computer) and the target file location (on the client computer). Example: pscp xorg.conf [email protected]:/root/writable/etc/X11/xorg.conf 4-6 Modifiable files The following client files are modifiable: • The settings files in the directory /settings • Files in /root/user/backgrounds/*.jpg-These files can be used to set custom background images for the monitor. For writing background images, only user privileges are needed. • The file /root/writable/etc/opt/hpremote/rgreceiver/rgreceiverconfig-This file specifies properties for the RGS Receiver. See the RGS documentation for a description of these properties. 4-7 Settings files This section describes the settings files on the client and how to modify them. In most cases, client settings should be modified using Webmin, which then modifies the appropriate settings file. However, it is possible to modify the settings files directly. 4-7-1 Groups of settings files All configurable settings on the client are stored in three groups of text files in the /settings directory. The text files provide settings in attribute-value pairs, such as ip_address=192.168.0.3. When a particular setting is needed, the operating system looks in the following three file groups in the order listed below until the first instance of the setting is found. 1. Local settings files-The local settings files are specific to each client machine, such as monitor layout, audio volume levels, or static IP address. There are four local settings files: • settings_25_local_custom.txt • settings_30_local_root.txt • settings_35_local_custom.txt • settings_40_local_user.txt Sample files for the above four settings files are provided in Appendices D-G. 2. Site settings file-The site settings file is typically supplied by the administrator, and is common to many clients. This file might include site-wide settings such as a common encrypted administrator password or the IP address of DNS servers. The site settings file is: settings_20_site.txt A sample file for the above settings file is provided in Appendix H. 3. System default file-Supplied by HP, the system default settings in this read-only file can change from one release of the Embedded OS to the next. For example, the default mouse acceleration level would be stored in this file. The system default file is: settings_10_default.txt Each time the client reboots, it uses the settings files to generate a full set of relevant system configuration files from the primitives in the settings files. Manual modifications in the configuration files are discarded. 24

4-5-2 Using PSCP to copy a file to the client computer
To copy a file to the client computer:
1.
Open a command window on the Windows computer where
pscp.exe
is installed.
2.
cd to the directory where
pscp.exe
is installed.
3.
Specify the local file (on the Windows computer) and the target file location (on the client computer).
Example
:
pscp
xorg.conf
[email protected]:/root/writable/etc/X11/xorg.conf
4-6 Modifiable files
The following client files are modifiable:
The settings files in the directory
/settings
Files in
/root/user/backgrounds/*.jpg
—These files can be used to set custom background images
for the monitor. For writing background images, only user privileges are needed.
The file
/root/writable/etc/opt/hpremote/rgreceiver/rgreceiverconfig
—This file
specifies properties for the RGS Receiver. See the RGS documentation for a description of these properties.
4-7 Settings files
This section describes the settings files on the client and how to modify them. In most cases, client settings should
be modified using Webmin, which then modifies the appropriate settings file. However, it is possible to modify
the settings files directly.
4-7-1 Groups of settings files
All configurable settings on the client are stored in three groups of text files in the
/settings
directory. The text
files provide settings in attribute-value pairs, such as
ip_address=192.168.0.3
. When a particular setting is
needed, the operating system looks in the following three file groups in the order listed below until the first
instance of the setting is found.
1.
Local settings files
—The local settings files are specific to each client machine, such as monitor layout,
audio volume levels, or static IP address. There are four local settings files:
settings_25_local_custom.txt
settings_30_local_root.txt
settings_35_local_custom.txt
settings_40_local_user.txt
Sample files for the above four settings files are provided in Appendices D–G.
2.
Site settings file
—The site settings file is typically supplied by the administrator, and is common to many
clients. This file might include site-wide settings such as a common encrypted administrator password or the
IP address of DNS servers. The site settings file is:
settings_20_site.txt
A sample file for the above settings file is provided in Appendix H.
3.
System default file
—Supplied by HP, the system default settings in this read-only file can change from one
release of the Embedded OS to the next. For example, the default mouse acceleration level would be stored
in this file. The system default file is:
settings_10_default.txt
Each time the client reboots, it uses the settings files to generate a full set of relevant system configuration files
from the primitives in the settings files. Manual modifications in the configuration files are discarded.
