- A test machine, named comet2 (Dell Optiplex 9010, PC90105), was setup in Tom G's office, bldg 48/rm 248, on 7/13/2018. Linux (centos7) was installed over the network. Andrew set up the "old style" kerberos authentication to allow site-wide logins. This is expected to change in the near future to a Windows authentication scheme.
- At this time, comet2 is considered available for reboot with little or no notification as experts continue their development of the deployment software. Rebuilding from scratch becomes increasingly painful as more and more software is installed.
- As of 9/23/2018, a 2nd machine, ppa-pc89438-l, is also running centos7 in Warren Focke's office, bldg 48/rm 249, using Andrew's latest net install.
