This document is a how-to for installing a Fedora scripts.mit.edu server.

Helper files for the install are located in server/fedora/config.

* Start with a normal install of Fedora 9.

* Edit /etc/selinux/config so it has SELINUX=disabled.

* Check out the scripts.mit.edu svn repository. Configure svn not to cache
  credentials.

* cd to server/fedora in the svn repository.

* Run "make install-deps" to install various prereqs.  Nonstandard
  deps are in /mit/scripts/rpm.

* Create a scripts-build user account, and set up rpm to build in 
  $HOME by doing a 
  cp config/home/scripts-build/.rpmmacros /home/scripts-build/
  (If you just use the default setup, it will generate packages 
  in /usr/src/redhat.)

* su scripts-build -

* Make sure that server/fedora (where you currently are) is writable
  by user scripts-build.

* Use the Makefile to build the scripts.mit.edu-specific Fedora
  packages.
  - export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
  - make download
  - make setup
  - make all
  - openafs-devel is a build-dependency of accountadm, so you'll need to
    install the openafs-devel package you just built by hand when that fails.

* Then install the packages you just built as root:
   - yum localinstall --nogpgcheck accountadm-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm \
       execsys-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm httpd* \
       kmod-openafs-1.4.7-1.1.2.6.25_14.fc9.x86_64.rpm \
       krb5-{debuginfo,devel,libs,pki,workstation-1}* \
       logview-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm mit-zephyr-2.1-6-linux.x86_64.rpm \
       mod_ssl-2.2.8-3.x86_64.rpm nss_nonlocal-* \
       openafs-1.4.7-1.1.1.x86_64.rpm \
       openafs-{authlibs,client,debuginfo,devel,docs,krb5}* openssh* \
       sql-signup-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm tokensys-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm \
       whoisd-0.00-0.x86_64.rpm

* Rebuild mit-zephyr on a 32-bit machine, like the one at Joe's home.

* Run "make suexec" and "make install-suexec" to overwrite
  /usr/sbin/suexec with one that works. The one installed by the
  newly-built Apache RPM is misconfigured.

* Install and configure bind
  - env NSS_NONLOCAL_IGNORE=1 yum install bind
  - chkconfig named on
  - service named start

* Check out the scripts /etc configuration, which is done most easily by
  $ svn co svn://scripts.mit.edu/server/fedora/config/etc
  # \cp -a etc /

* Reload the iptables config to take down the restrictive firewall 
  service iptables restart

* Copy over root's dotfiles from one of the other machines.

* Replace rsyslog with syslog-ng by doing:
  # rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog
  # yum install syslog-ng

* Install various dependencies of the scripts system, including syslog-ng,
  glibc-devel.i386, python-twisted-core, mod_fcgid, nrpe, nagios-plugins-all.

* Disable NetworkManager (with yum remove). Make sure to run
  "chkconfig network on" to ensure that the network will still be
  configured at next boot.

* Fix the openafs /usr/vice/etc <-> /etc/openafs mapping by changing
   /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo to contain:
        /afs:/usr/vice/cache:10000000

* Figure out why Zephyr isn't working

* Install the full list of RPMs that users expect to be on the
  scripts.mit.edu servers.  See server/doc/rpm and
  server/doc/rpm_snapshot.  (Note that this is only a snapshot, and not
  all packages may in fact be in use.)

* Install the full list of perl modules that users expect to be on the
  scripts.mit.edu servers.  See server/doc/perl and
  server/doc/perl_snapshot.

  - export PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1
  - Run 'cpan', accept the default configuration, and do 'o conf
    prerequisites_policy follow'.
  - Parse the output of perldoc -u perllocal | grep head2 on an existing
    server, and "notest install" them from the cpan prompt.

* Install the Python eggs and Ruby gems and PEAR/PECL doohickeys that are on
  the other scripts.mit.edu servers and do not have RPMs.
  - Look at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages for Python eggs and modules.
  - Look at `gem list` for Ruby gems.
  - Look at `pear list` for Pear fruits (or whatever they're called).

* echo 'import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser("~/lib/python2.5/site-packages"))' > /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth

* Install the credentials (machine keytab, daemon.scripts keytab, SSL
  certs).

*  If you are setting up a test server, pay attention to
  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do not bind scripts' IP address.
  You will also need to modify /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, and
  /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost_ldap.conf to use scripts.mit.edu instead of
  localhost.

* Install fedora-ds-base and set up replication (see ./HOWTO-SETUP-LDAP
    and ./fedora-ds-enable-ssl-and-kerberos.diff).

* Install nslcd / nss-ldapd, which, unlike nss-ldap, doesn't crash every few
  hours. Add /sbin/service dirsrv start and /sbin/nslcd to /etc/rc.local, or
  better yet package nss-ldapd properly.

* Make the services dirsrv, postfix, and httpd start at boot. Run
  chkconfig to make sure the set of services to be run is correct.

* Run fmtutil-sys --all, which does something that makes TeX work.

* Reboot the machine to restore a consistent state, in case you
  changed anything.

* (Optional) Beat your head against a wall.

* Possibly perform other steps that I've neglected to put in this
  document.
