Customing computer description field for Centos 5.4

jwillis

Recipe for customizing the computer description field for Centos 5.4 i386

1. stop the sophos management service
# service sav-rms stop

2. prepend the computer description
# sed -i ‘‘‘‘1i /path/to/my/group’’’’ /etc/redhat-release

3. start the sophos management service
# service sav-rms start

note: the release file is checked each time the service is restarted, only the first line is used to populate the sophos console description field

note: this is the same field that can be customized for macosx

    I think it would be better for you to contact Support, so that we have an official record of the number of people using the feature, and what systems they are using it on.

    Bascially it uses files to override the hostname, computer description and domain that the endpoint machine reports back to Sophos Enterprise Console.
