You can install Trillium with root or sudo privileges. If you have a root password, you enter the root password during the repository server installation. When the root password is entered, the xinetd.conf (or inetd.conf) file is updated to allow the correct processes to be called between the Linux system and Trillium. (The xinetd daemon manages Internet-based connectivity and service requests.) No other configuration or services file is changed.
If you have sudo access but do not have a root password, the installation will guide you though a process of updating the xinetd.conf (or inetd.conf) file using the command. See Installation Steps on Linux for details.
The following are examples of changes made after the root password is entered:
