Subject: scruffy notes
clients/moira/Doc has internal.mss For distribution this should be
screibed to PostScript for those of us who don't have scribe.
(Thanks to a guest account at MIT I was able to scribe it.)
clients/moira/defs.h has SMS_SERVER to be defined
clients/moira/Makefile need to install -c the text files, or they
disappear from the directory
clients/userreg 'make install' doesn't do anything; have to do
'make install_real' to install
db/newmoira.qc lines 211, 238 needs 'members' changed to 'imembers'
db/README says 'newsms' should be 'newmoira' Also gives a ritual of
creating 'testsms' and renaming it to 'newsms' but in fact the newmoira
program expects 'sms'
db you already noted the need to have 'none' entries in filesys and nfsphys
tables
dbck make clean doesn't remove members.c, make install doesn't do anything
with the members program.
dcm/utils.c I added #ifdef ZEPHYR around zephyr.h to allow building when
zephyr isn't there yet.
gen/nfs.sh user has to define local domains for hosts in place of
MIT.EDU. Makefile needs to install the shells with -c or they
disappear
include/admin_server.h and kadm.h are slightly different from those
distributed with kerberos. Both need some local machine names
for KERB_HOST and KADM_SINST
include/sms_app.h needs name os SMS_SERVER host fixed for local site
incremental/ksrvtgt.c differs slightly from the one that comes with
kerberos.
reg_svr/reg_svr.c call on krb_get_svc_in_tkt("regoster", "sms", ...
Does the "sms" need to be changed to the name of the reg_svr
host, or is this instance arbitrary so long as it agress with the
acmin acl's on the kerberos machine?
rpc/critical.c has a define that needs to be changed if zephyr is
not present. This is commented on the spot, but needs to be
pointed out in the instructions. (Or come up with an #ifdef ZEPHYR
and define ZEPHYR in the Makefile
rpc/sms_auth.c has krb_mk_req("sms", "sms",...) I presume the second
"sms" needs to be changed to the name of the host where smsd runs?
test/ Should the scripts be installed somewhere?
------
I ran into various difficulties compiling where there would be symlinks
to something non-existent. After a make install there will be things
missing that prevent a subsequent make from succeeding. I don't
know if the answer is to use more install -c (risks having the
libraries and include files drifting apart from those in /usr/include
and /usr/athena/lib). Maybe should just leave the libraries in the
moira tree and not install them at all, if they aren't going to be
used for anything else. Anyway, if you do a make clean and then a
make world or make various things will probably fail and require fixes
to make files, or putting in symlinks.
As Henry noted at Bond U., the hardest thing for us novices is getting
the data base built the first time. The define.PS document is
helpful; examples would be more helpful. What would probably get me
out of the woods fast would be for you to take a mrbackup of your
data base and then do a head on each file; that would be cryptic
but usable.
I haven't worked on regtape recently. Earlier I wrote a program to
turn our registrar's format into yours, planning to do that rather
than to modify the regtape program.
I haven't begun to look at all the places where "MIT" is used as the
institution name in user-visible places; that's certainly not something
anybody should expect you to change.
I may get to do it all over again next week on a Sun machine; if so,
I'll keep better notes next time.
Thanks for all your help.
