How to set templates-custom in SME server 7.x
With regards to the online manual from contribs.org site, I found that these instruction has some steps missing if you want to customize your system configuration.
Using an example can say it all:
Objective: add custom config in /etc/resolv.conf
Steps:
1. Make a directory structure as follow: mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/resolv.conf/
2.cp the file from /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/resolv.conf/ to /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/resolv.conf/. In my case, I only copy 25nameserver.
3. vi 25nameserver. Type the text in file: nameserver 1.2.3.4
4. Save
5. Issue the command: expand-template /etc/resolv.conf
6. Issue the command again: signal-event reboot
Then, once restart completed, you can find that your customized settings has been applied
Step 5 and 6 are not noted in manual, or at least I cannot find it until I search the forum.
Hope it helps someone.
