Partimage daemon for Slackware ============================== This package contains the partimage client/server programs. Both binaries (partimage/partimaged) are statically compiled, so they should run on about every box you own. The binaries are built with SSL support, and the partimage client needs to supply a valid username/password to the partimage server. Read the manpage for partimagedusers to understand how to validate a system account for the partimage server. SSL and client logons --------------------- If you do not want mandatory SSL connections and client logons, you will have to re-compile this package from source, since a SSL-enabled server will not accept non-SSL client connections, and a server that is configured for user logins, will not accept login-less connections. In partimage.SlackBuild, set 'USESSL=no' and/or 'USERLOGONS=no' and then run the script to generate a new package. SSL certificate for partimaged ------------------------------ If for some reason the SSL certificate for a SSL-enabled partimaged server was not created, has been deleted or has expired, or you just want to create a new certificate, use the 'makecertificate.sh' script in the doc directory to do so. The daemon will refuse to start if the certificate is missing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Hameleers , 26-jan-2008
