Installation notes for ifp-32

From SpeechWiki

Contents 1 To add users 2 Allow access to wordpress and ganglia from everywhere via https 3 Hash known hosts, so a hacked account on one system won't propagate to others so easily 4 Share the /cworkspace among all the cluster nodes

To add users

useradd -u <uid> -g<gid>

so that uid and gid match the existing ones

rocks sync users 

to replicate the login info immediately, otherwise they get sent out once an hour This copies their password/login info and autofs entries into /etc/auto.home for the compute nodes. DO NOT EDIT /etc/auto.home

cluster-fork '/sbin/service autofs restart'

Allow access to wordpress and ganglia from everywhere via https

cd /etc/sysconfig/
chmod u+w iptables
emacs iptables

add line

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport https -j ACCEPT

Hash known hosts, so a hacked account on one system won't propagate to others so easily

cd /etc/ssh/
chmod u+w ssh_config 
emacs ssh_config

add line under Host* HashKnownHosts yes

Share the /cworkspace among all the cluster nodes

cd /etc/
chmod u+w auto.*
emacs auto.master

add line

/cworkspace /etc/auto.share --timeout=1200

emacs auto.share
