Hi.
I'm trying to create a configuration script to help automate
Linux-Athena installation. To create this script, I am trying to come
up with a list of all the hand-tweaking that is neccessary to install
Linux-Athena on top of a vanilla Linux installation.
Basically, I'm trying to come up with a list of modifications that
need to be done by hand to convert a Linux box into a Linux-Athena
box. Once you install Linux and unpackage all the *.tgz files in
/mit/linux/packages directory (and install the Linux-AFS package),
what else needs to be done?
Here is the list I have so far:
add inetd.add and services.add to /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services
start named at bootup (modify /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2)
start xlogin by default (modify /etc/inittab)
Create /etc/rc.d/rc.local which:
sets time ("gettime -s kerberos")
starts zhm
starts AFS
What am I missing? If you can think of any other modification that
you needed to hand-make to your Linux-Athena installation to make it
work, please send me email.
My hope is to generate a script that will perform all the necessary
tweaking to get Linux-Athena to work. In this way, Linux-Athena
installation will hopefully be much easier in the future. Your help
in creating this list is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
