Netdump requires there to be a Netdump server and then any number of clients.

Server Configuration:

1. Verify that the netdump server is installed: rpm -q netdump-server. If it is not installed, install it by running the command: up2date netdump-server.
   
2. After the netdump server package is installed change the password for the "netdump" user to something that you know: passwd netdump
   
3. Enable the netdump server: chkconfig netdump-server on
   
4. Start the netdump server: service netdump-server start

Client Configuration:

1. Verify that the netdump client is installed: rpm -q netdump. If it is not installed, install it by running the command: up2date netdump.
   
2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/netdump and add the following line:
   
   NETDUMPADDR=192.168.0.5
   
   **192.168.0.5 should be changed to the ip address of the netdump server.
   
3. Enter the following command and give the netdump password when prompted: service netdump propagate
   
4. Enable the netdump client: chkconfig netdump on
   
5. Start the netdump client: service netdump start

At this point all sysrq command entered should be sent accross the network to the netdump server where they should be stored in the /var/crash directory. Dump files generated by netdump should be named vmcore by default.
