Kerberos

To simplify the number of passwords you need to remember while improving security, we have installed Kerberos. You will need to have a kerberos login in order to access some of the servers and for AFS.

To get an Kerberos account, send mail to devnet@list.ru.is with your desired username (it should match your HI or RU email). You probably also want the AFS login, mentioned in the next section. More about Kerberos can be found at the link.

AFS

If you have an afs account, you can set items in the AFS space to be visible on our webserver at http://www.dev.ru.is
To get an AFS account, send mail to devnet@list.ru.is with your desired username (it should match your HI or RU email)
Then goto [[devnet-documentation:AFS_Client_Installation]] to install the AFS client. More information on AFS.

Automatic web pages and sharing files

To make a www folder that is visible. Here is an example for foley's homedir.

Replace the path with the appropriate path from the sent email. e.g. /afs/dev.ru.is/user/f/fo/foley

  1. cd /afs/dev.ru.is/user/f/fo/foley
  2. mkdir www
  3. fs setacl . system:anyuser l
  4. fs setacl www system:anyuser read

The l acl allows anyone to list, but not read the directory.

Then this can be accessed at http://afs.dev.ru.is/user/f/fo/foley/www

Ideas

  • SIP server
  • Minecraft Server
  • XMPP (sorta done, need to allow transports)
  • IMMI
  • ntp (using gps or cell signal for stratum 0 status)
  • debian repo (iceland uni has one hosted, does mirroring make sense?)
  • mail server, possibly hosted by google app engine
  • laser etcher
  • Your File System (AFS++) http://www.your-file-system.com
