Alberto, Joseph,
Today we installed the computer that some time ago Joe bought for his GigE cameras. It was baptized "OTTAVIA".
Ottavia is black, weighs about 20 lbs and it's all her sister, Allegra (who also pays for bad taste in picking names). She runs an Intel Core 2 Quad and has 4GB of RAM. We expect much from her.
Some typical post-natal operations were necessary.
1) Editing of the user ID
- By means of the command "./usermod -u 1001 controls" we set the user ID of the user controls to 1001, as it is supposed to be.
2) Connection to the Martian network
- Ottavia was given IP address 131.215.113.097 by editing the file /etc/sysconfig/networ-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (we also edited the netmask and the gateway address as in the Wiki)
- In linux1, which serves as name server, in the directory /var/named/chroot/var/named, we modified both the IP-to-name and name-to-IP register files 131.215.113.in-addr.arpa.zone and 131.215.11in-addr.martian.zone.
- We set the file /etc/resolv.conf so that the OS knows who is the name server.
3) Mounting of the /cvs/cds path
- We created locally the empty directories /cvs/cds
- We edited the files /etc/fstab adding the line "linux1:/home/cds /cvs/cds nfs rw,bg,soft 0 0"
- We implemented the common variables of the controls environment by sourcing the cshrc.40m: in the file /home/controls/.cshrc we added the two lines "source /cvs/cds/caltech/cshrc.40m" and "setenv PATH ${PATH}:/cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux64/matlab/bin/"
