Installing and configuring the OS
Please follow the ["Installing Fedora5"] instructions for Fedora installations. Note that it duplicates several essential parts of the following steps, but they remain here for reference.
Installing and configuring CONTROL
Edit /etc/defaults/useradd such that the following variables are set and that rest can remain the same.
GROUP=3232 HOME=/u/cc/usr
Create the following group
# groupadd -g 3232 control
Insure /etc/skel/.vnc/ exists containing passwd (generated from vncpasswd) and xstartup which is an executable script:
export NODEID="vnc$DISPLAY" sleep 5 exec fvwm
Create user ccc
# adduser ccc # passwd ccc
Replace the contents of /etc/skel/.bash_profile with the following
logname=`logname`
. /u/cc/usr/common.sh
if [ "$logname" != "" ]; then
if [ "$DISPLAY" = "" ]; then
exec start
fi
fiPackage control programs on sam
export CONTROL_FILES=" /u/cc/std/binl /u/cc/std/utbinl /u/cc/std/binx11 /u/cc/std/utbinx11 /u/cc/adm /u/cc/blank /u/cc/standard /u/cc/pixmap /u/cc/lib /u/cc/binl /u/cc/binx11 " tar cvzf control.tgz $CONTROL_FILES
Setup /u/cc/ directory
touch /dev/lp8 chmod 666 /dev/lp8 umask 0 mkdir /u/cc/ chmod 777 /u/cc/ ln -s /u/cc /cc mkdir /u/cc/usr chmod 777 /u/cc/usr mkdir /u/cc/LOG chmod 777 /u/cc/LOG chown ccc:control /u/cc/LOG /u/cc/usr chown ccc:control /u/cc/usr/ccc /u/cc/usr/ccc/.* cd / tar xvzf PATH_TO_CONTROL_TAR_FILE/control.tgz cd /u/cc/ chown ccc:control std/* std/*/* chown ccc:control binl/* chown ccc:control binx11/* binl/link_cntrl chown ccc:control standard/* chmod 666 standard/* scp -r user@sam.crecom.com.au:/u/ccdev/standard.adm /u/cc/adm copy DEMO9 company/data copy new QT libraries to /cc/lib copy common.sh
Operating System configuration
SELinux
SELinux has been known to cause problems. To turn it off, change /etc/selinux/config to read
SELINUX=disabled
The changes will not take effect until the machine reboots.
Libraries
Update /etc/ld.so.conf to included the following line
/cc/lib
Then execute:
# ldconfig
yum
In /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-repo, /etc/yum.repos.d/fedroa-extras.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo, set the enable flag to 1
enable=1
Do NOT do this for any of the development files. Doing so can cause libraries to be updated and, as a result, CONTROL may not run.
Updating the packages with
yum update
Note: be careful of glibc updates for older releases.
If yum insists on gpg keys then, in /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/*,
gpgcheck=0
VPN
Copy vpn_exetel.tar.gz from /home/usr/michael/vpn/, extract it using the following commands:
# tar -xvzf vpn_exetel.tar.gz /
Then as root accept the fingerprint:
# ssh 220.233.135.250 The authenticity of host '220.233.135.250 (220.233.135.250)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is f6:f0:5c:21:74:0e:03:db:fc:71:e6:21:63:b5:c0:43. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Type yes and cancel the connection.
X related configuration
Install neccessary fonts
As a minimum, the system should have the 75-dpi, 100-dpi and truetype fonts appropriate for the installed X Font Server To search for the fonts:
yum search fonts
The packages are usually of the form fonts-xorg-75dpi
Once you have found the correct fonts packages
yum install <font package>
Make console (DISPLAY=0) a VNC server
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Module"
Load "vnc" # Add this line
End Section
Section "Screen"
Option "PasswordFile" "/u/cc/usr/ccc/.vnc/passwd" # Add this line
End Section
Installing FVWM
You'll need to locate files fvwm-2.4.19-1.i386.rpm and libstroke-0.5.1-4.fc4.i386.rpm which are available on sam.
# yum install compat-readline43 gtk+ imlib # rpm -Uvh fvwm-2.4.19-1.i386.rpm libstroke-0.5.1-4.fc4.i386.rpm
Need to update Xclients such that FVWM is started when local user logs in.
# cd /etc/X11/xinit # mv Xclients Xclients.bak # vi Xclients
Update Xclients to only execute FVWM, the orginal (Xclients.bak) file can be modified to do the below.
rm -f $HOME/Xrootenv.0 rm -f /tmp/fvwmrc* 2>/dev/null . /u/cc/usr/common.sh exec /usr/bin/fvwm
Finally give Xclients execute permissions
chmod +x Xclients
Configuring FVWM
mkdir /etc/X11/fvwm2
Copy from system.fvwm2rc from /u or from a client's system and place it in the newly created directory. Also place a symlink to system.fvwm2rc in /etc/
ln -s /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc /etc/
Packages Needed by Control
- mkisofs - building CD images
- sharutils - E-Mailing PDF's
- dvd+rw-tools - Burning DVD's
- postgresql-odbc - New Rel9 and 10 installations require DB support.
Post Control Installation Options
cocont option Days before display system warning mesg should be set to 30. This allows the client to have a list one system backup to restore various configuration system configuration files in the event of a failure. crontab setup auto_postal, eom_job and other scripts that need to run automatically.
