Hi, Nimish,

We followed these instructions and had good results:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03351.html

The files specified might be somewhat out of date now, but the general ideas 
are the same.  I've updated the ROACH2's /etc directory.  You can get my latest 
ROACH2 netboot /etc directory from:

git clone http://astro.berkeley.edu/~davidm/roach2_netboot_etc.git

FWIW, I've found it useful to use git to track changes to the /etc directories 
of machines that I manage.  Just be careful about pushing sensitive files (e.g. 
the "shadow" file) or just don't track them to begin with.

Hope this helps,
Dave
