All,
I am setting up a new QMT install on a testing box (laptop) to
document the process and to become more familiar with the process.
I notice that after loading QMTISO5 I am left at the root login
prompt with seemingly a lot that is not configured (like host name,
tcp.smtp, etc).
My question is this. In order to make these installs as simple as
possible, is there a way (if it is not already there) to have a
script that prompts the person doing a new setup for all of this
information and puts it in the correct files for them?
I'm looking at the following page in the wiki as an example of the
things that needs to be set (although some of it is out dated and no
longer needed):

I realize you can't script everything simply because everyone sets
their QMT server differently, but the basic items needed to make the
QMT server ready to go is what I am thinking.
Thanks,
Scott
There's not an easy way to gather most of this data during the
installation phase, since there is no keyboard input possible unless
you code something to allow this (like the first boot setup does).
I include some scripts to assist you with this once the initial
installation is done, such as "set-dns" and "set-hostname".
Understood. Maybe something in qtp-menu since they are directed there
after they log on? I'm not a coder, so I may be suggesting something
that is way over-board.

If you'd like to see something added to "iso-help" then sure - I'd want
to think about adding stuff to qtp-menu, since QTP is meant to help make
administering your QMT server easier, not really help you set it up.
If you have some ideas, let's discuss on the devel list.
Thanks.
