= Installing a DIM Backup Store Server =
== Configuring Linux: ==
 * Install Control onto the server according to the InstallingControl wiki page with the following notes:
  * Use Fedora Core 3 . No later as Release 8 is incompatible with anything newer.
  * Make sure the IP address of the server is 192.168.1.85. Do NOT put it on DHCP.
  * vsftp is run at startup
  * Ensure the run level of init is 5
  * Use programs from HO and not the ones on sam.
 * Ensure you have the polling user. Password should be mushroom.
 * Setup the overlay printers. Set them up so that we only need to change the IP address of the printer later.
 * Edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
 {{{
# The following at the bottom of the file
192.168.1.86-100}}}
 * Create ~ccc/.netrc
 {{{
