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

  machine 192.168.30.1
          login           root
          password        dts4dim
