Customising Machines

Individual machines can be customised simply by overriding default resources in the LCFG file. For example, to increase the logging level for VMware:

  vmware.loglevel 3

Servers typically have more machine-specific resources than normal clients, but these are rarely more than about one page; groups of resources which perform a related function are usually collected together into a separate class file.
