= Outpost info =

Outpost is hosted at Tech.Coop to have a DNS server on a subnet
different than our primary subnet.

It was previously a 64-bit OS, also at Tech.Coop, but hosted
in UK @ Bytemark.

Now it is in the US and is a 32-bit Debian lenny.


== Xen console ==

ssh to `xen-seven.tech.coop` as user `hcoop`

== General Information ==

 * Hostname : outpost
 * Distribution : lenny
 * Partitions : swap 1024mb (swap)
 * / 10g (ext3)
 * Image type : full
 * Memory size : 512mb
 * Kernel path : /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-686
 * Initrd path : /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-686

== Networking Information ==

 * IP Address 1 : 74.115.254.28 [MAC: 00:16:3E:5F:79:E6]
 * Netmask : 255.255.255.224
 * Broadcast : 74.115.254.31
 * Gateway : 74.115.254.1

== Access info ==

Login/pw are in standard HCoop password stash.

= Setup Notes =

== Domtool ==

 * Replaced outpost_ip in `hcoop.dtl`
 * Readded `outpost.hcoop.net` (no other subdomains)
 * Was not added as a nodeIp yet

== Basic Packages ==

 * Did '''not''' install `lm-sensors`, `hdparm`
 * Also installed: `emacs` (ClintonEbadi is utterly incapable of using vi effectively), `screen` (for performing all admin work in a way that will survive connection loss), and `build-essential`

== Basic Configuration ==

 * Added `root: logs@hcoop.net` to `/etc/aliases`.
 * Did not run any fs tuning operations
 * Did not set sources.list to use peer1 mirror (for obvious reasons)
 * Did not remove `/opt` (other ''lame'' directories were not present)
 * Did not replace the kernel (naturally)
 * Added lenny-backports to sources.list

== OpenAFS ==

 * Built `openafs-modules-source` from backports (1.4.12) using
 `module-assistant`
 * Installed openafs clients and kerberos from backports{{{
apt-get install -t lenny-backports openafs-client openafs-krb5 kstart krb5-user
dpkg -i /afs/megacz.com/pub/software/libnss-afs/libnss-afs_1.10_i386.deb # saw nowhere else to get this!
}}}
   * Kerberos is only 1.6, but mire is running an older version.
   * Verified kinit && aklog work after reboot

== Authentication ==

 * Left PAM and nsswitch with stock configuration as the instructions appear to not be particularly applicable anymore given the configuration of `fritz`.
 * Did not setup `login.restrict` (pending resolution of what to do about accounts / kerberos / nss &c)
 * Did not create host principal for ssh
 * Did not enable sudoers yet

== Miscellaneous ==

 * Set proper search domain in `resolv.conf` and added `deleuze` as a name server, but left the other two tech.coop DNS servers
 * Setup hcoop-clean-tmp cron job
 * Replaced exim with ssmtp based upon the configuration on `mire`
