GINA V4.0 System Administrator Guide – September 2000

Creating a configuration file using

 WinConfig

The configuration file created using

WinConfig

is the input for the GINA configuration gen-

erator

 config

. The configuration generator creates the files required for configuring the

entire system based on the information provided in the configuration file (see section 6.5 on
page 94).

This chapter explains the steps for working with the

 WinConfig

graphical user interface.

The description requires knowledge of the configuration language specified in section 6.2
on page 46.

The

 WinConfig

graphical user interface is called as follows:

WinConfig [-V] | [

configfile]

The interface can be started with or without a configuration file. If a configuration file is spec-
ified in the call,

 WinConfig

tries to load this file immediately after it is started.

If the

-V

option is specified, only the version message is output to

stdout

and execution

of the program is terminated.

No environment variables or X resources must be set. However, the font, if required, can be
specified via the X resource

 WinConfig*fontList

.
