SLAC properties

There is a SLAC-specific file in the file system skeleton (fs_skeleton).  The file system skeleton exists in the site directory.  The file is at /etc/SLAC_properties.  The syntax is

PROPERTY=value

One property per line.  This file can be read by human users or scripts to determine behavior.  For example, if HAVE_ROOT_PASSWORD is set, then scripts know that if they use "su" then a password is required - the implication being "su" can't be used during the boot process when humans are not involved.

Buildroot documentation

Buildroot has ample documentation.  Be careful that the version of the documentation matches the version your buildroot.  The documentation that you should read comes with the download of buildroot at docs/manual/manual.text.
