HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.0 User Guide

5.
If you choose not to use the customization described in step 5, or have a different configuration
file that needs to be updated, perform the following steps to update the respective configuration:
a.
Add the "rge" extension to the X Server configuration file. Edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config, /
etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or the appropriate XF86Config file on your system for XFree86 X
servers. Edit the xorg.conf file for X.Org X Servers. In the Modules section of this file, add the
following line:
Load "rge"
The Module section should now read as follows:
Section "Module"
...
Load "rge"
...
EndSection
The Sender will be installed to /opt/hpremote/rgsender, and will be started automatically
when the X Server or system is restarted, provided the appropriate XF86Config/xorg.conf file
was correctly modified.
b. The Linux Sender uses the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for authentication.
If you are using the GNOME Desktop Manager or KDE Desktop Manager, add the following
line to the files listed below:
session optional pam_rg.so
Files (and all related derivatives):
/etc/pam.d/gdm
/etc/pam.d/kdm
/etc/pam.d/xdm
c.
Some Linux distribution versions utilize newer or older PAM support modules and support
conventions. The rgsender_config_64*-.rpm performs configuration analysis to determine
types of pam_unix*.so, pam_env*.so, common-auth, and pam_stack.so may apply to your
configuration for the /etc/pam.d/rgsender configuration file. If you choose to do all of your
own customizations manually, please run the rgsender_config_64*-rpm at least once on a
test system to determine an example of any customizations that you might need in your
current environment.
6.
If another desktop manager, such as Enlightenment, is being used, you will need to make similar
changes to the PAM configuration file used by it. Consult your Linux and Desktop Manager
documentation for further information.
7.
If the PAM system has been configured to use custom PAM authentication modules then you may
need to manually configure the PAM module that is used by the RGS Sender. You should consult
your Linux documentation when configuring PAM. If you are using a custom PAM authentication
module called “libpam_custom.1” you may need to edit the PAM configuration file "/etc/pam.d/
rgsender” to specify the PAM authentication module to be used by the RGS Sender. For example,
you may need to add the following line to the file "/etc/pam.d/rgsender”.
