Make installation of a scripts server less of a hazing ritual by explaining some of the mysterious things you'll otherwise botch. Plenty of hazing remains, though.

106# networking on the front end and back end, and the routing table to send

114
115# Figure out why Zephyr isn't working. Most recently, it was because there
116# was a 64-bit RPM installed; remove it and install Joe's 32-bit one
117
118# Install the athena-base, athena-lprng, and athena-lprng-misc RPMs
119# from the Athena 9 build (these are present in our yum repo).  Note
120# that you will have to use --nodeps for at least one of the lprng
121# ones because it thinks it needs the Athena hesiod RPM.  It doesn't
122# really.  Before doing this, run it without --nodeps and arrange to
123# install the rest of the things it really does depend on.  This will
124# include a bunch of 32-bit rpms; go ahead and install the .i586 versions
125# of them.  In the case of the Kerberos libraries, you'll be told that
126# there are conflicting files with the 64-bit versions of the packages,
127# which we scriptsify.  You'll have to use --force to install those
128# rpms despite the conflicts.  After doing that, you may want to
129# install the corresponding 64-bit scriptsified versions again, just
130# to be safe in case the 32-bit versions overwrite files that differ.
131# When you try this, it will complain that you already have the same
132# version installed; again, you'll need to use --force to do it anyway.
133# Yuck.
134
135# Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the
136# scripts.mit.edu servers.  See server/doc/rpm and
137# server/doc/rpm_snapshot.  (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not
138# all packages may in fact be in use.)
139
140# Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the
141# scripts.mit.edu servers.
142# - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1
143# - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf
144#   prerequisites_policy follow'.
145# - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing
146#   server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt.
147# TO DO THIS:
148# On another server, run:
149# perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 | cut -f 3 -d '<' | cut -f 1 -d '|' | sort -u | perl -ne 'chomp; print "notest install $_\n" if system("rpm -q --whatprovides \"perl($_)\" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null")' > /mit/scripts/config/perl-packages.txt
150# Then on the server you're installing,
151    cat perl-packages.txt | perl -MCPAN -e shell
152
153# Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on
154# the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs.
155# - Look at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages and
156#           /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages for Python eggs and modules.
157#   First use 'yum search' to see if the relevant package is now available
158#   as an RPM, and install that if it is.  If not, then use easy_install.
159# - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems.
160#   Again, use 'yum search' and prefer RPMs, but failing that, 'gem install'.
161# - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called).
162#   Yet again, 'yum search' for RPMs before resorting to 'pear install'.  Note
163#   that for things in the beta repo, you'll need 'pear install package-beta'.
164
165# echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.6/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth
166
167# Install the credentials.  There are a lot of things to remember here:
168#   o You probably installed the machine keytab long ago
169#   o Use ktutil to combine the host/scripts.mit.edu and
170#     host/scripts-vhosts.mit.edu keys with host/this-server.mit.edu in
171#     the keytab.  Do not use 'k5srvutil change' on the combined keytab
172#     or you'll break the other servers.
173#   o The daemon.scripts keytab
174#   o The SSL cert private key
175#   o The LDAP password for the signup process
176#   o The SQL password for the signup process
177#   o The LDAP keytab for this server, which will be used later
178#   o Replace the ssh host keys with the ones common to all scripts servers
179#   o You'll install an LDAP certificate signed by the scripts CA later
180#   o Make sure root's .k5login is correct
181#   o Make sure logview's .k5login is correct
182
183# If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to
184# /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address.
185# You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nss-ldapd.conf,
186# /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to
187# use scripts.mit.edu instead of localhost.
188
189# Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see ./HOWTO-SETUP-LDAP
190#   and ./fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff).
191
192# Make the services dirsrv, nslcd, nscd, postfix, and httpd start at
193# boot. Run chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is
194# correct.
195
196# cd /etc/postfix; postmap virtual
197# Otherwise postfix will appear to work, but actually not deliver mail
198
199# Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work.
200
201# Ensure that PHP isn't broken:
202# # mkdir /tmp/sessions
203# # chmod 01777 /tmp/sessions
204
205# Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you
206# changed anything.
207
208# (Optional) Beat your head against a wall.
209
210# Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this
211# document.
