How to configure the a new server for CONTROL.
Installing the OS
Please follow the ["Installing Fedora5"] instructions for Fedora installations.
Additional Operating System configuration
SELinux
SELinux has been known to cause problems with Control's directory model. To turn it off, change /etc/selinux/config to read
SELINUX=disabled
N.B. The changes will not take effect until the machine reboots.
Samba and PAM
New ccpass scripts for updating user passwords work around the problems of password synchronisation. As such, the [:SambaPasswordSync:SambaPasswordSync] hack is considered depreciated.
To try and ensure locking works reliably between Windows and Linux, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following lines after the "global" section header:
#get record locking working between Windows and Linux
strict locking = yes
oplocks = False
Serial Ports
In /etc/rc.d/rc.local,
chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0 chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1
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.
Update the packages with
yum update
Note: be careful of glibc updates for older releases of CONTROL
If yum insists on gpg keys then, in /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/*,
gpgcheck=0
VPN
Copy vpn.tgz from /u and extract it using the following commands:
# scp <user>@sam:/u/vpn.tgz /etc/ppp/ # cd /etc/ppp # tar -xvzf vpn.tgz
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.
Add the hostname (uname -n) into /etc/hosts on muppets. Assign the machine the next IP in the sequence.
Also update the ["DNS"].
To test the VPN connection, use the following:
# pppd call crecom nodetach debug
Once the VPN can connect correctly, add to the following to /etc/inittab:
vpn:2345:respawn:/etc/ppp/connect-crecom >> /var/log/connect-crecom.error
Additional Packages Needed by Control
The following packages need to be installed to enable some features:
- mkisofs - building backup CD images
- sharutils - E-Mailing PDF's
- dvd+rw-tools - Burning DVD's
- postgresql-odbc - New Rel9 and 10 installations require DB support.
- cdrecord - Burning CD/DVD backups
- rxvt - For running scripts in X11 mode
Configuring the OS for CONTROL
Creating the control group
Create the following group
# groupadd -g 3232 control
Create and configure the ccc user
Create user ccc
# adduser -g control ccc # passwd ccc
Edit the ~ccc/.bash_profile to the following:
CUST=`uname -n`
export CUST
export PS1='${PWD}!>'
. /u/cc/usr/common.sh
ccusersSetup the VNC password
# mkdir ~ccc/.vnc # vncpasswd ~ccc/.vnc/passwd
Create the ~ccc/.vnc/xstartup file used by Xvnc. It should read:
export NODEID="vnc$DISPLAY" sleep 5 exec fvwm
Make ~ccc/.vnc/xstartup executable.
chmod +x ~ccc/.vnc/xstartup
Transfer ownership of files to ccc
# chown -R ccc:control ~ccc/.vnc
Setup user defaults
Edit /etc/defaults/useradd such that the following variables are set and that rest can remain the same.
GROUP=3232 HOME=/u/cc/usr
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
fiCopy the ~ccc/.vnc/ folder to /etc/skel/
# cp -r ~ccc/.vnc /etc/skel/ # chown root:root /etc/skel/.vnc
Copy CONTROL
Package 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 ln -s ~ccc /u/cc/usr/ccc 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 scp -r <user>@sam.crecom.com.au:/u/ccdev/DEMO9 /u/cc/DEMO scp <user>@sam.crecom.com.au:/u/ccdev/usr/common.linux /u/cc/usr/common.sh
Libraries
For Fedora versions prior to Fedora Core 5, update /etc/ld.so.conf to included the following line
/u/cc/lib
For Fedora Core 5 and later, execute:
cd /usr/lib ln -s /u/cc/lib/libcqt3.* .
Then for all versions to rebuild the library cache execute:
ldconfig
X related configuration
Install necessary 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
We use FVWM as a slimline window manager where users don't need or expect a full remote desktop. 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 initialise the control environment and execute FVWM as 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 recent client's system and place it in the newly created directory. Also place a symbolic link to system.fvwm2rc in /etc/
ln -s /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc /etc/
Post Control Installation Options
Backups
cocont option Days before display system warning mesg should be set to 30. This allows the client to have at least one system backup to restore various configuration system configuration files in the event of a failure.
Enter the Linux device into cocont's Backup device field.
Scheduled processes
crontab setup auto_postal, eom_job, initda/backups and other scripts that need to run automatically.
Customer Company
coaad Setup the company record(s) for the customer.
Ensure that the /u/cc/<CUSTOMER> directory exists and is a copy of standard. Also make sure that the correct amount of users and locations has been set.
Enter the customer's company name into cocont's Company codes to be backed up field.
Data Imports
- Run any data imports necessary.
