This chapter is intended as a brief overview of how to build a simple DNS & DHCP server configuration using Sauron. For those in hurry, there is also small demonstration database that can be used to test Sauron quickly (see the Section called Using Demonstration Database).
First step before using Sauron is to create administrator account(s). Administrator accounts are normal user accounts that have superuser flag enabled. For adding accounts there is command-line utility adduser that can be used to add user accounts either interactive or batch mode. To add administrator (superuser) account interactively, invoke adduser with option --superuser:
./adduser --superuser
