Part 1: OS Install
Use the Linux "client" install instructions (
here) to install Linux on one of the lab machines.
Part 2: Users and groups
Make a group "support" and a group "people". Add two users: "user1" and
"admin1". Give admin1 a password (make it "atlnta#1"), but set user1's
password field to "x". Make user1's primary group "people", and admin1's
primary group "support". Put admin1 in group "people" (but not his primary
group). Make sure each has a home directory that they own, and that is in
their primary group. Make the mode u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx.
Part 3: Startup
Copy all of the shell scripts associated with runlevel 3 into the directory
for runlevel 4. Set the init default runlevel to runlevel 4. Add
this script to init.d directory, and link it into
the rc4.d directory (S99nothing).
Part 4: Adding software
Add this RedHat package, and compile
this gnu product.
Part 5: Monitoring resources, users, etc.
Login to (name to be supplied later). Look for problems.
