Red Hat does not yet set up a link for /dev/pilot which href="http://www.jpilot.org">jpilot, href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO/pilotlink.html">pilot-xfer,
etc use by default.

        ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
        chmod 666 /dev/pilot

Set the hostname to be something reasonable instead of
localhost.localdomain by using ‘neat’.

Also disable starting eth0 on boot — it takes a while to timeout when
I’m booting in a wireless mode.

In order to get Wellenreiter v1.3 (a wireless monitoring tool) to run,
it requires GTK.pm installed. Since I no longer trust ‘perl -MCPAN -e
shell’ not to screw up my perl installation, I downloaded
Gtk-Perl-0.7000.tar.gz and Net-Pcap-0.04 from href="http://www.CPAN.org">CPAN and manually installed it. Note:
Net::Pcap need to be built this way: perl Makefile.PL
INC=-I/usr/include/pcap LIBS=’-L/usr/lib/pcap -lpcap’

Red Hat 7.3 ships with both LPRng and CUPS, the latter has a nice
web-based configuration tool.

• /sbin/service cups start
• Switch to CUPS permanently using the new ‘alternatives’ method
  (nice bit of borrowing from debian)

  /usr/sbin/alternatives
  --config print

• Use web interface on href="http://127.0.0.1:631">http://127.0.0.1:631

Created mount points:

mkdir -p /NT /CD1, /CD2 /ExtraHomes /mnt/xx /mnt/xy /mnt/ontour /mnt/ibgzk
o /mnt/after7

• Need to set the document root to be my person ~/public_html.

  DocumentRoot "/home/marc/public_html"

  …

  <Directory "/home/marc/public_html">

• Set email contact:

  ServerAdmin marc@nozell.com

• Change location of cgi-bin:

      ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/marc/cgi-bin/"

  …

  <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">

• Setup bloxsom blogger by copying blosxom into ~/cgi-bin/ and editing locati
  ons to point to /home/marc/public_html/

Configure NTP to get the time from systems that are available from 1)
internet, 2) inside corporate firewall, 3) inside corporate external
lab firewall and 4) timeserver of DSL provider.

To the file /etc/ntp/steptickers add the one very long line:

harbor.ecn.purdue.edu tick.mit.edu ntp01.cca.cpqcorp.net ntp02.cca.cpqcorp.net
alpha1.ispworks.com shell.mv.net

Turn ntp on at boot time:

chkconfig --level 45 ntpd on

re-register with Red Hat Network.

rhn_register

And then go to http://www.redhat.com/network
and adjust the ‘entitlements’. Finally then ready to actually update
with ‘up2date’. Quite a number of updates just a week after Red Hat
7.3 was released…

visudo

and added marc to the list.
