Using System Setup

System Setup is a command-line tool used with a terminal application and SSH (Secure

Shell). Mac OS X comes with a terminal application called Terminal. You can ﬁnd this

application in

/Applications/Utilities

If you’re not familiar with command-line tools and SSH, read Chapter 4, “Using Command-

Line Tools.”

To use System Setup:

1 Open Terminal.

2 Open a SSH session to the target server and log in as an administrator.

3 Type the name of the tool followed by any arguments and options you want to set, then press

Return. For example, if you want to set the time on the server to 11:32:06 A.M., type

systemsetup -settime 11:32:06
