When changing the guest OS password of root, you may encounter an Authentication token manipulation error. This message occurs because the /etc/shadow file is not present. You can add the shadow file by entering 'pwconv', then the root password can be set. See the example below.

bash-3.2# passwd
Changing password for user root.

The AXP upgrade process provides key features such as automatic deletion of previously installed files that are not included in the upgrade package. However, in order to not delete previously installed files, the upgrade process requires that previously installed files be included in the upgrade package which can lead to bloated packages. To simply the package and reduce package size, users can create a patch to modify only intended files. For example, if the initial installed package contai ...Read More

Is AXP Linux capable of IPv6?
How do I make it IPv6-enable?

Our current release - AXP version 1.1 does not support IPv6. In order to port an IPv6 application to the current platform you will need to use the IPv4 stack instead. I will enter IPv6 support as a feature request.

Hi Brett,

I need IPv6 ASAP since the system needs to avoide collision of address and IPv6 is the solution for it. The system is to be installed in the company intranet which IPv4 private environment in the most case.

In addition, Office of Management and Budget (OMemoticon Policy M-05-22 mandates all US government agencies. We like to be compliant to this.

For now you should be able to use NAT get around the IPv4 address collision issue right? Regarding the OMB, I will pass this information along to our product management team.

No, IPv4 NAT is not an optimal solution for this case. It just makes the Intranet network complex for our proposed facility management gateway solution. I know well that Patrick Grossetete of Cisco, a friend of mine, has been promoting IPv6 for long time, and I believe that Cisco is the leading company for IPv6 transition. Hope AXP ready for IPv6 soon.
