This is a complex environment with many moving pieces.
- Get details from Jack on how he added me to the systems.

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
1) MAC address gets magically associated with a hostname (probably not really magic) 2) Create a symlink in /afs/bp.ncsu.edu/system/config/linux-kickstart/configs/ece/computers to point at the correct kickstart 3) Boot system (ensuring it's not behind a firewall) 4) At "boot:" prompt, simply type the appropirate install type ("client6" for example) 5) 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
