/opt/fog/.fogsettings WiKi article

[Wayne Workman]

Hey, I was wanting to more thoroughly document the settings in /opt/fog/.fogsettings

This is my starting place. I know what most of these things do already but not all. This can also be a place where others can learn what these settings do as well.

If anyone knows more, or can add more, please do share.

ipaddress (My understanding is that this is the ip address of the fog server itself)

interface (This is the interface fog will use for everything, by default. Multicast interface and what not can be altered later in the database)

submask (The subnet mask for the network your fogserver is on, this is there irrespective of whether you enable FOGDhcp)

dnsaddress (The DNS address to be used by the FOG server)

Password (the password FOG generates on install for the fog account, this should match the storageftppass password)
