VASC Modifications

This page documents modifications that are applied to facilitized linux machines to make them work in the VASC environment.

 

Machine and exports need to be added to the NIS server.

1) install automount RPM

# rpm -i /afs/cs/archive/redhat/redhat-9/i386/RedHat/RPMS/autofs-*

domain IUS server shed.ius.cs.cmu.edu

edit /etc/sysconfig/network add:

NISDOMAIN=IUS

edit /etc/nsswitch.conf add "nis" to lines passwd, group, netgroup,
automount:

passwd files nis
