My Stuff

If mathematica is not running on miles, try starting the license manager, for some reason MathLM (mathematica license manager /usr/local/Wolfram/MathLM/) does not start at boot

I removed dhcdbd, network-manager and network-manager-dispatcher from the boot procedure, because they were causing continuous dhcp calls to show up in syslog.

installed acroread by adding the following to sources.list:
deb http://debian-multimedia.org/ testing main
then just aptitude update and aptitude install acroread
(might have to install debian-multimedia-keyring from http://debian-multimedia.org/faq.php

installed htpasswd by installing apache2-utils

installed xemacs using stable, because not available in testing. (now available in testing)

software should install on miles:

• openssh-server
• xemacs
• svn
• vncserver (for Tianming)
• denyhosts
• munin
• alpine (pine replacement)
• libnss-ldap (should also auto-install nscd and libpam-ldap)
• libpam-cracklib
• ldap-utils (ldapsearch)

/usr/local/bin:

• lcsync (uses csync-exclude also in /usr/local/bin)
• imagej
• matlab
• one-sync
• caret

New miles (nina): had to make change the startup for matlab. usually /usr/local/bin/matlab7 is softlink to /usr/local/matlab7/bin/matlab, but we need to use the 32 bit arch, so made file /usr/local/bin/matlab7 with linux32 wrapper

something is wrong with the resolution, but I think I will wait to worry about it.

finish with populating/setting up /tftpboot

before original miles is gone, need to move the bacula directory to nina, move concurrent license to nina (new license)
