Accounts on GridFarm Machines

Various pieces of random information

• The machines gf1-gf8 and gf12-gf19 have separate account systems and separate file systems for performance reasons.
• Gf8 and gf12 are the head nodes. Update account information here.
• To get machine info, look at the files /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo, etc.
• To get the specific version of linux, look at /etc/redhat-release.
• Java, SVN, and several other useful things are installed on /globalhome/globalbin on gf12-gf19. To add these to your path en masse, use the command (or add .bashrc)
  
• export PATH=`echo \`find /globalhome/globalbin/ -name bin\`|tr ' ' ':'`:$PATH
• If you need MySQL installed, you can do this yourself. See the second part of the notes at http://communitygrids.blogspot.com/2006/04/installing-second-mysql.html. Use a port other than 3306 (the standard mysql). Use telnet or nestat -a to make sure the port you want to use is available.
