How to install the PROMPT System under CentOS Linux
Download the CentOS 5.3, i386 version and create the six CD’s for loading from
CD. The procedure explained here involves a Dell Poweredge T105 with two
Sato 160GB drives. All steps marked with ** are required to bring up PROMPT.
A. Load CentOS **
1. Be sure to have a mouse installed because the install is GUI
2. Insert the first CD disk 1 of 6.
3. When the hardware starts up chose F11 for the boot menu
4. Select the CD Rom (Embedded Optical Drive Port C)
5. A screen will appear and under it will say boot:
Type linux nomraid Then press enter
6. Verify Media – Skip
7. Welcome to CentOS - Next
8. Language; English - Next
9. Keyboard: us – Next
10. If CentOS is already installed choose Reinstall to replace and start over or
CentOS 5.3 to upgrade
11. Choose the option below and check mark Review and Modify Partitioning
Layout (The remaining steps a-k will set up the software RAID 1)
Remove all partitions on selected drive(s) and create default layout
a) Delete all partitions including LVM’s only /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
remaining with free space
b) Click New and create 101MB software RAID partition one at a
time on both dsa and sdb for /boot. Check mark the box “force to be
primary partition”.
c) Click New and create a 4032MB software RAID partition one at
a time on sda and sdb for swap
d) Click New and create a software RAID partition one at a time on
sda and sdb for /. Click “Fill to maximum allowable size to use remaining
space”.
e) Click the RAID button, create a RAID device
f) Pick the two 101MB partitions (sda1 and sda2), mount point
/boot, filesystem type ext3, RAID1 (default RAID device should be md0),
click OK
g) Click the RAID button, create a RAID device
h) Pick the two 4032MB partitions (sda2 and sdb2), filesystem type
swap, RAID1, (default RAID device should be md1), click OK
i) Click the RAID button, create a RAID device.
j) Pick the two large remaining partitions, mount point /, filesystem
type ext3, RAID1, (default RAID device should be md2), click OK
k) Your partitions are complete. Your screen should be like this

21. You will get a login requesting user account: root the password will be
what you entered in 14 as the root password. Click Applications then
choose Accessories then Terminal for a command prompt (#)
22. This next step will assure that the grub boot loader is installed on both
physical drives and that the system will be bootable even if one of the
drives fails. You must repeat this procedure (a - b) after a disk failure
replacement and also do step B 3 below when replacing a failed disk.
You must be at root and su a) Type very carefully the commands shown in bold:
/sbin/grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if “boot/grub/stage1” exists …no
Checking if “/grub/stage1” exists …yes
Checking if “/grub/stage2” exists …yes
Checking if “/grub/e2fs_stage1-5” exists …yes
Running “embed /grub/e2fs_stage1-5 (hd0)”….15 sectors are embedded
Succeeded
Running “install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p (hd0,0)/grub/stage2
/grub/grub.conf” succeeded
Done
b) grub> root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd1)
Checking if “boot/grub/stage1” exists …no
Checking if “/grub/stage1” exists …yes
Checking if “/grub/stage2” exists …yes
Checking if “/grub/e2ts_stage1-5” exists …yes
Running “embed /grub/e2fs_stage1-5 (hd1)”….15 sectors are embedded
Succeeded
Running “install /grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+15 p (hd1,0)/grub/stage2
/grub/grub.conf” succeeded
Done
grub> quit
You will return to # and type exit that will also return a #
23. The system is coming up at run level 5 because of GUI install and you
must change it to come up at run level 3, by doing the following:
Go to /etc/
Type: vi inittab
Find this line: Id:5:initdefault:
Change the 5 to a 3.
4
When you return to the command prompt # check the RAID to see if it is finished
updating (see B4 below to know what updating looks like) and when it is finished
updating - Type reboot to reboot the system
B. Review Raid - After the reboot this is what the RAID is supposed to look like.
1. You must be at root
2. Type this command to see the RAID setup
# cat /proc/mdstat
This is how the file looks if both drives are working okay and updated
Personalities: [raid1]
md0: active raid1 sdb1[ 1 ] sda1[ 0 ]
104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md1: active raid1 sdb2[ 1 ] sda2[ 0 ]
4128640 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md2: active raid1 sdb3[ 1 ] sda3[ 0 ]
152014976 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
This is how it looks if drive 0 has failed
This is how it looks if Drive 1 has failed
Personalities: [raid1]
md0: active raid1 sda1[ 1 ]
104320 blocks [2/1] [_U]
Personalities: [raid1]
md0: active raid1 sda1[ 0 ]
104320 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md1: active raid1 sda2[ 1 ]
4128640 blocks [2/1] [_U]
md1: active raid1 sda2[ 0 ]
4128640 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md2: active raid1 sda3[ ! ]
152014976 blocks [2/1] [_U]
md2: active raid1 sda3[ 0 ]
152014976 blocks [2/1] [U_]
unused devices: <none>
3. After replacing a failed drive add it back using these commands and it will
automatically rebuild the replaced drive from the good drive.
# mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sda1 (or /dev/sdb1 if replaced)
# mdadm /dev/md2 --add /dev/sda3 (or /dev/sdb3 if replaced)
4. This is an example of what you see when a replaced disk is updating
when you use this command: # cat /proc/mdstat
[>…………] recovery = 7.0% (10777408/1520148976) finish=22.4 min
speed=100656ksec
5
The md0: and md2: blocks remains like shown above under “how a failed
drive looks” until the failed drive has been rebuild to match the good drive,
then returns to the view shown in “how drive looks if working” when fully
rebuilt.
C. Modify Operating system to support PROMPT **
After the Operating System is installed and RAID determined to be okay, then
make these Modifications
1. Log in as follows:
localhost login: root (press enter)
password: mysecret (your password) (press enter)
2. Create a user account, set the Group ID and ownership and set up a
password.
– Call for help if not familiar with vi editor
cd /etc
groupadd -g 300 group
useradd -g group –u 300 edx
# passwd edx
Changing password for user edx
New password: prompt
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype password: prompt
Passwd: all authenications tokens updated successfully
vi passwd the last entry in the file must be
edx:x:300:300:Prompt:/home/edx:/bin/bash
Edit “Prompt” into this line to make Prompt the default system.
3. Modify the VGA display by going to /etc/sysconfig
vi i18n
change: SYSFONT=’latarcyrheb-sun16”
to be:
SYSFONT=”lat0-16” (the number after t is zero)
change: LANG=”en_US.UFT-8”
Then add: LANG=”C”
4. Create edx directory and set up link
cd /
mkdir /usr/edx
chown edx /usr/edx
chgrp group /usr/edx
ln –s /usr/edx /edx ( the first letter on this line is a lower case L)
5. Define ownership and permissions if you will use a direct attach parallel
6
.
printer port. (Rarely used but retained for older computers) Use the same
approach for direct attached serial printers, for example /dev/ttyS3, and
add chmod a+x
cd /dev
chmod a+rw /dev/lp0
chown edx
/dev/lp0
chgrp group /dev/lp0
6. Define, then enter, the start up script
cd /etc/init.d
vi edx
cd /edx
./edxsport
sleep 3
su edx -c /edx/bin/ipledx
7. After saving the file set the ownership and permissions
chmod a+rw edx
chmod a+x edx
8. Create links to start up and shutdown
ln –s ../init.d/edx /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K98edx
ln –s ../init.d/edx /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K98edx
ln –s ../init.d/edx /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S98edx
ln –s ../init.d/edx /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98edx
ln –s ../init.d/edx /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98edx (do this if using GUI)
9. Set #SYSLOG to auto start and set VGA colors
cd /etc
vi inittab
Change line 1 under “Run gettys in standard run level” to read as follows:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mygetty1 tty1
Also, comment out line 2 by placing an # at the beginning as shown:
#2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
To complete this auto start for tty2 go to /etc and enter this command into
the file just before touch:
vi rc.local
chown edx /dev/tty2
chgrp tty /dev/tty2
10. Next, go to /sbin and enter this file:
7
vi mygetty1
#!/bin/sh
setterm -background red –store > /dev/tty1
setterm -background blue –store > /dev/tty2
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
11. After saving the file set the ownership and permissions
chmod a+x mygetty1
12. Setup Auto tape backup, if used
cd /usr/bin
vi prbackup
tar cf /dev/st0 /usr/edx*
After saving the file set the ownership and permissions
chmod a+rw prbackup
chmod a+x
prbackup
chown edx prbackup
chgrp group prbackup
13. Tell crontab about the auto backup, if used
cd /etc
vi crontab
Change MAIL TO=root to MAIL TO=edx
Add a new line before 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
02 0 * * * root prbackup /etc/cron.daily
14. Edit the path in .bash_profile (/home/edx) by adding as below:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:.:/edx/bin
Then make the following as the last line in this file to start edx:
edx -s –l rollon –p 10 ( after the –s is – lower case L)
D. Set up printers ** (only step 1 required now, 2-21 can wait)
1. Prepare for the use of the Cups Admin printer web tool with these
modifications to CentOS 5.
cd /etc/cups
vi cupsd.conf
After the line “# Only listen for connections from the local machine.”
You will see “Listen localhost:631” you need to add the following line
Listen 192.168.1.2:631 (the IP of the server-port 631)
After the line “# Restrict access to the server …” You will see
“<Location />
8
Order allow,deny”
allow @LOCAL
- you need to add the following line
After the line “# Restrict access to the admin pages …” You will see
“<Location /admin>
Encryption Required
Order allow, deny” - you need to add the following line
allow @LOCAL
After the line “# Restrict access to configuration files …” You will see
“<Location /admin/conf>
AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEM
Order allow,deny” - you need to add the following line
allow @LOCAL
2. This document assumes you are familiar with setting up printers using
PROMPT. For more information see www.prompt-usa.com support 
Technical Support Documentation – Defining workstations and printers.
We will use three examples beginning with the following that are assumed
to be already setup in termxref.sys:
$SYSPRTR | lpr –Psys:
PRINTER2 | lpr -Ppr2:
PRINTER3 | lpr -Ppr3:
(example of the system printer)
(example of laser printer Canon Pixma)
(example of laser printer HP office Jet)
3. First, the $SYSPRTR set up example: Go to a Windows® Desktop PC in
the same local area network as the PROMPT/Linux server you are
installing and type the following IP address:
https://192.168.1.2:631/admin (to access the server’s Cups Admin printer
setup) It is slow to come up the first time and you will likely get a warning
that the security certificate is not current – just click continue.
4. Click the Home tab then click Add Printer
Enter Name: sys (example $SYSPRTR - must use sys per step 2 above)
Enter Location: Copy Room (where the printer is located)
Enter Description: Okidata 320 (The printer make and model)
Click Continue
5. Enter the device from the dropdown as: LPD/LPR host or printer
For Okidata direct attach to parallel port or with print server.
Click Continue
6. Enter the Device URL: lpd://192.168.1.10 (example of Okidata with printer
server attached.
Click Continue
7. Enter the Make from a dropdown: Raw (ALWAYS use raw!)
Click Continue
8. Enter Model: Raw Queue (en) will appear and you need to highlight it by
9
clicking on it (do not change this selection)
Click Add Printer (This may require that you log in as Root with the root
password then OK the printer to be added.
9. You will go to banners that is set to “none” and set Policies to Error= retryjob and Operation policy=default
Click Set printer option
10. You should see a Successful setup message and will go to the Printers
tab on the Admin page. DO NOT USE the TEST PRINT button, instead
test the print from PROMPT!
11. Next, the PRINTER2 set up example using the admin printer setup page.
12. Click the Home tab then click Add Printer
Enter Name: pr2 (example PRINTER2 - must use can per step 2 above)
Enter Location: Desk 2 (where the printer is located)
Enter Description: Canon Pixma IP 1600 (The printer make and model)
Click Continue
13. Enter the device from the dropdown as: LPD/LPR host or printer
For Okidata direct attach to parallel port or with print server.
Click Continue
14. Enter the Device URL and LPD queue: lpd://192.168.1.15/can (example
of Canon with printer Alphacom LPD and printer name can on PC with
static IP address 192.168.1.15
Click Continue
15. The remaining steps are the same as 7-10 above.
16. Last the PRINTER3 setup example using the admin printer setup page
17. Click the Home tab then click Add Printer
Enter Name: pr3 (example PRINTER3 - must use jet from step 2 above)
Enter Location: Office (where the printer is located)
Enter Description: Photosmart C 5140 (The printer make and model)
Click Continue
18. Enter the device from the dropdown as: APPSOCKET/HP Jet Direct
For a Jet direct HP or similar network printer (no print server involved)
Click Continue
19. Enter the Device URL: socket://192.168.1.100:9100 (example of network
printer jet direct.
Click Continue
20. The remaining steps are the same as 7-10 above.
21. Remember you might later have to go to PROMPT option PD then PC to
enter PCL codes for laser printers. See www.prompt-usa.com support 
Administrative Support  How to determine where and how PROMPT prints
E. Install MIME-Lite and Send Mail to support PROMPT Automatic email
(can wait until PROMPT is loaded)
1. Copy the MIME-Lite installation file shown below into /root
MIME-Lite-2.117.tgz
10
2. Execute this command to extract the appropriate files for installation and
create the MIME-Lite2.117 directory
tar zxvf MIME-Lite-2.117.tgz
3. To install execute these instructions:
cd MIME-Lite-2.117
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install
4. Change sendmail to send email using smart host and masquerade the
domain name of your installation’s email.
cd /etc/mail
vi sendmail.mc
You will find the following on the first page of this file:
dnl define(‘SMART_HOST’,`smtp.your.provider’)
If you wish to send emails by your ISP smtp server eliminate the “dnl” and
change “your.provider” to be the server name given to you by your ISP, for
example “outbound@att.net”.
Next, find the following lines (appx 5 pages down) and change as shown
LOCAL_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain’)dnl
Change to: `edx.localhost.localdomain’ this is the user mail box and
host name used by the PROMPT System.
dnl MASQUERADE_AS (‘your_domain.com’)dnl change to
‘bellsouth.net’ substuting the domain name of your email service for
bellsouth.net and remove the text “dnl “ before“MASQUARADE”
dnl (FEATURE(masquarade_envelope)dnl
Remove the text “dnl “ before “FEATURE”
Also remove “dnl” before Feature(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
Next you need to add two new features as follows:
FEATURE(`genericstable')dnl This feature is needed to substitute
edx.localhost.localdomain for the mail box and domain of the account you
are installing. Setting up genericstable is explained below.
GENERICS_DOMAIN(`localhost.localdomain')dnl This feature is
needed to tell masquerade what domain is to be substituted with data from
the genericstable. It tells what domain triggers the table lookup.
FEATURE(allmasquerade)dnl This is a group of final items to use for
Masquerade as explained below:
11
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl Identifies the domain to
masquerade **
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl Identifies the host
and domain **
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(bellsouth.net)dnl Identifies the replacement
domain. Substitute bellsout.net with your domain name **
dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(edx.lan)dnl NOT USED “dnl” means not
used
After the above changes, sendmail.mc is then compiled into sendmail.cf
using the following command:
# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
5. ** The challenge once all masquerade is defined is how to include the
user mail box name in the masquerade. It is accomplished by adding the
two new features to sendmail.mc (genericstable and Generics domain)
referred to above.
genericstable explained
A new file referenced in sendmail.mc is /etc/mail/genericstable that was
referenced above when explaining additions to sendmail.mc. You must
create this file.
The table entries are simply:
edx myemail@bellsouth.net
This is what these entries mean. edx is the mailbox name that originates
all automatic emails that PROMPT sends. Actually the return address of
the raw email generated by PROMPT would be
edx@localhost.localdomain.. This is not a registered email address thus
will be seen as invalid by the ISP. Thus it has to be replaced during the
email generation with a valid return address which is
myemail@bellsouth.net (in our example, meaning a valid email address
of the account being installed to use for PROMPT emails). Every email
being sent carries the mail box (or user name) of “edx” thus the table looks
up the replacement name of “myemail@bellsouth.net and stuffs this name
in place of edx@localhost.localdomain.
The generics file requires a conversion process explained below and if
you later edit the genericstable you must then run this procedure again to
repopulate genericstable.db
# makemap hash /etc/mail/genericstable< /etc/mail/genericstables
12
6. More changes required outside of sendmail.mc
Usually the smart host requires authentication prior to relaying the
automatic emails sent by PROMPT. To negotiate and authentication with
the smart server a log in is required using login information that must be
entered into /etc/mail/access as follows shown in bold:
localhost.localdomain
localhost
127.0.0.1
RELAY
RELAY
RELAY
“Already in the file”
“Already in the file”
“Already in the file”
AuthInfo:outbound.att.net "U:myemail@bellsouth.net"
"I:myemail@bellsouth.net" "P:hughes66" "M:LOGIN PLAIN"
This entire string is the new entry required in this file substituting
“outbound.att.net” with the smart host smtp server entered in sendmail.mc
above, and substituting myemail@bellsouth.net with the email name at
your account to be used for PROMPT automatic emails.
NOTE: After you enter the string above and also if the account changes
their email password run the following procedure:
1. Edit the text file /etc/mail/access entering the string or changing the
password, should that occurs
2. Run this process: # makemap hash /etc/mail/access <
/etc/mail/access
3. The above converts the data in the file access to access.db
4. Stop sendmail with this command: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail
stop
5. Then start sendmail with this command: #
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
7. Also, be sure that /etc/resolv.conf has the DNS address of the ISP that
provides the email service, (for example - nameserver 216.24.27.3) and in
/etc/mail edit the file local-host-names to include myemail@bellsouth.net
substuting bellsouth.net with the domain name of your email service then,
Sendmail must be restarted.
8. Remember to edit /edx/edxdocpb.sys to change the response phone
number and the sending email address.

F. Install HylaFAX – To support PROMPT automatic fax(can wait until
PROMPT is loaded)
1. Copy the HylaFAX installation files shown below into the specified
directory
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz to /usr/share/ghostscript
hylafax-client-6.0.5-1rhel5.i386.rpm to /root
hylafax-server-6.0.5-1rhel5.i386.rpm to /root
public_key.asc to /root
sharutils-4.2.1-14.i386.rpm to /root
2. Extract ghostscript-fonts and the directory “fonts” will be created:
cd /usr/share/ghostscript
tar xzvf ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz
3. Install sharutils:
cd /root
rpm -Uvh sharutils-4.2.1-14.i386.rpm
4. Install Hylafax Client
rpm -Uvh hylafax-client-6.0.5-1rhel5.i386.rpm
5. Install Hylafax Server
rpm -Uvh hylafax-server-6.0.5-1rhel5.i386.rpm
6. We use the Actiontec External 56K/V92 Modem (a class 1 external
modem) and install it on Serial port 1 that is ttyS0 to Linux. Have the
modem connected at this time because it is needed for the setup we are
about to do.
7. Next, run /usr/sbin/faxsetup and when it completes it will automatically
go into /usr/sbinfaxaddmodem however, each can be run independently
later if needed.
A long number of questions will be ask and the correct answers are
automatically tendered. But you will have to specify the serial port as:
ttyS0 (assuming you use serial port 1) and to prevent the fax from
answering the phone set the number of rings to 0. Also, you will have to
enter the fax phone number as the “phone number of the fax modem” and
also as the “local identification string” that is the company name.
8. After set up configuration you have to edit the configuration file for
hardware flow control in /var/spool/hylafax/etc as follows:
vi config.ttyS0 (or the serial port you used if not ttyS0)
Page down until you find Class1Cmd:
Just after this line you will create a new line to read:
Class1HFLOCmd:
FLOW_RTSCTS
# command to set hardware flow control
14
9. Go to /etc and edit inittab to include this line just after
si in # System initialization
mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 (if you used S0)
10. Go to /etc/rc.local insert this line.
stty –F /dev/ttyS0 crtscts
11. Run ntsysv and make sure the HylaFax service is being started.
12. FYI the cover page is at /var/spool/hylafax/etc/cover.temp and the
edxdocpb controls are at /usr/edx/edxdocpb.sys.
G. Load the PROMPT Business System Startup system **
1. The file promptrelease-tgz can be downloaded from prompt-usa.com
by submitting the download request form found on the web site at
