Here are the steps to create an administration group.
Each group must have a uniq name. The name must not have any space. Each group correspond to a sub-directory in
/etc/linuxconf/admgroups
The name of the sub-directory is simply the group name.
This is used to enhance various screens. It has no functionnal usage.
An administration tree is like a virtual workstation in your computer. It has all the configuration files (or could have) a fully configured linux station normally have. By linking to a specific administration tree you are telling that this administration group is picking its configuration files (or parts of) from the configuration files of this administration tree.
The idea of separating the administration tree from the administration group is that, in many environnement, you will have one administration tree and the machines part of this environnement will split this way
Often, all machines of the same physical network will share some aspect of a single administration tree.
A help list shows available administration trees. You can enter a name which is not in the list. Just don't forget to create it later.
It is possible to share the configuration of the workstation itself. The administration tree is simply called /. It is shown in the help list.
You simply enumerate the various members (the machine name and domain) who must be synchronised. This is currently limited as you have to specify them one by one. This is expect to expand in various area:
A list of all sub-systems available is presented. On the left, the sub-system ID is presented. On the right, the description of the sub-system is presented. For each sub-system, there is a check-box. You can select this way which sub-systems are shared.
