SLASH Shell

===========

SLASH is a utility that can be used when building a virtual appliance to make its initial setup easier for end-users.

When the end-user first logs into a SLASH-enabled virtual appliance, she is asked a few setup questions, and can respond right in the terminal.

Currently SLASH can offer to replace the built-in root password, set the hostname, and set up static networking settings.

Finally, SLASH lets the user remove it from subsequence login shells.

Internally SLASH is implemented as a Linux shell that simply runs its set of commands and then uses BASH.

Supported Platforms

-------------------

SLASH has been tested with CentOS 7.

Pre-requisites

--------------

* nmtui must be installed for non-DHCP networking configuration to work

Setup

-----

To set up SLASH in a virtual appliance:

* Put the slash and slash-initial-setup scripts in /usr/local/bin

* Make sure they are executable

* Edit /etc/password so that the root user's shell is /usr/local/bin/slash
