Editing the otp.conf File
OTP expects its user databases to reside in /mnt/opie/etc. The OnSite administrator must edit the /etc/otp.conf file to configure a location for the OTP databases by configuring where /mnt/opie is to be mounted.
The following table lists the devices that may be used for mounting /mnt/opie and the keywords and values used to identify each type of device in the otp.conf file, and it provides additional information in the “Notes” column.
The filesystem must be in the OnSite’s resident flash memory.
A compact flash PCMCIA card must be installed and configured. The values assigned PCMCIA/CF, FSTYPE and MOUNTPT from ide.opts are used
.
host:path
host must be the DNS name or IP address for the NFS server.
path must be the path to an directory shared (exported) by the NFS server.
