How to make Configuration before forming the Golden Image

[Aravind.Kamath]

How can I make some configuartions before I create a Golden Image? (Without SAM).

I want to know a Automation process for this or If Know a tool that can be used for the Automation process then please let me know.

Shalom,

You need to be more specific.

Configuration changes are done to configuration files in /etc or subdirectories of /etc, the extention by convention is .conf smb.conf is the samba configuration file.

I don't really know what you mean by automation process. If you refer to the Ignite install process, this can be manipulated on a host by host basis with the /opt/ignite/bin/ignite program which works graphically and text mode.

What I meant by automation process is that Automating the Configurations of the Required Files under the /etc folder or its sub-directories.

I dont want to perform the Configuration changes on the required files manually.

I am using a tool called Bastille to make some configurations (Enable and Disable) initially in the Bastille GUI window.

These configurations are reflected in the config file.

When I disable the options in the config files and run the Bastille with -b option, it is reflected in the /etc/inted.conf file.

But when I enable the options in the config file and run Bastille with -b option, it is not reflected in the etc/inted.conf file.
The disabled options remained disabled itself.

I want to Know how to enable the disabled options in Bastille by making changes in the conf file?

On the similar lines of Bastille, I want to know if I can make some minor change in a file so that the changes are reflected instead of going to each and every file and changing the file permissions
