-This is a complex environment with many moving pieces.
-*** Get details from Jack on how he added me to the systems.
-== Pending Tickets ==
-1544664 - All(?) RHEL6 machines (helike, eukelade, etc) affected by xorg crash
-1559311 - Matlab crashes on fedora
-1567328 - Add ece apps to launchers
-1473459 - Setup add locker for Agilent Golden Gate 2011
-1567330 - Delete old lockers for Xilinx 13.2 and setup new lockers for latest version
-1568991 - Add locker for openCV
-== Big Projects ==
-Audit kickstarts
-Rework "add" system
-Fix Condor
-Improve monitoring
-== Misc Things ==
-We default to tcsh because some parts of afs applications ("add" stuff?) break with bash.  There is a contingent of folks who would like to see us move to BASH
- ---- jacorley: well most of the add initializations are done in tcsh scriptlets, which are obviously not bourne shell compatible
- ---- acorley: well most of the add initializations are done in tcsh scriptlets, which are obviously not bourne shell compatible
- ---- gsgatlin: well, we have an athena type system here that was originally built around cshell. so each locker has an initilization script that gets run by "add." Most ITECS created lockers (me) have a bash initilization also. Other lockers may be missing that piece.
- ---- jacorley: poke around lockers and look for dotfiles (.environment for tcsh IIRC, and .environmnet.sh for bash)gsgatlin: I created this web page that helps to explain it. But ignore references to Solaris 10. We have end of lifed that. http://techies.ncsu.edu/wiki/Addable_AFS_Locker
- ---- slack: msbelang: My advice is become familar with the systems with tcsh.  Once you understand the workings you can help us with the bash push
-"add blah" is expected to be run in the shell session each time before you can use the software--there is no persistence.
-print server is ece-print-01.ece.ncsu.edu
-== Kickstarting a System ==
-) MAC address gets magically associated with a hostname (probably not really magic)
-) Create a symlink in /afs/bp.ncsu.edu/system/config/linux-kickstart/configs/ece/computers to point at the correct kickstart
-) Boot system (ensuring it's not behind a firewall)
-) At "boot:" prompt, simply type the appropirate install type ("client6" for example)
-) Once the system has installed you can manually add users
-== Manually adding Users ==
- - Local users: Add entry to /etc/users.local
- - Remote users: Add entry to /etc/users.local.base
- - Sudo users: visudo of course
