edited lilo.conf so linux is first and therefore default

changed /usr/sbin/makewhatis  to lookin /usr/local hierachies
 (and of course ran it to get man -k working)

made pdf2ps and man page

added $IDL_DIR/userlib to IDL_PATH in /usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/idl_setup

made a ln -s to nenscript and nenscript.1 for enscript and enscript.1

made /etc/exports to export /home/begonias to ingrid: and sundowner:

edited /etc/fstab to import /home/ingrid from ingrid: and /home/sundowner
from sundowner:

added a /cdrom entry in /etc/fstab so users could mount cdrom

edited /etc/fstab to allow users to mount sundowner's cdrom under
/sundowner/cdrom

added a /etc/hosts with local host IPs and bigbear,bullwinkle,uts

rebuilt kernel to include SCSI support for BusLogic card and
installed new SCSI disk as /local and /data and exported it (ro)
to ingrid and sundowner

moved /usr/local/bin stuff to /local/bin (not all yet)

edited /usr/sbin/makewhatis to include /local dirs

ran /usr/sbin/makewhatis

redid mongo in /local/bin/lickmongo and  installed in /local/*

did a chmod u-s on kterm since I read there was a security leak there.

installed new IDL 5.0 in /local/rsi, deleting old version
in /usr/local/rsi. adder a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to 
run the idl_5/bin/lmgrd license daemon and added an IDL_DIR
definition near the beginning of /local/rsi/idl/bin/lmgrd

I had to muck around with the XF86Config file - some is 
commented. I had to add some 24bitmodes, for example...

to get /local/rsi/idl_5/bin/lmgrd to run at boot time, I put
a new line in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script and added a
definition of IDL_DIR in the /local/rsi/idl_5/bin/lmgrd script
itself.

changed /etc/sysconfig/clock entry of UTC=true to  UTC=false
to give the Linux clock the right time (this says the PC CMOS
clock is NOT set to UT)

commented out the imap line in /etc/inetd.conf as it is a big security
bug apparently (did same on other linux boxes as well)

downloaded samba-1.9.16p9-8.i386.rpm from redhat's www site and
installed it to get samba running. (was apparently installed automatically
on the other Linux machines.

installed 3.01 of Acrobat from adobe- into /local/Acrobat with a link from
/local/bin

changed name from *.bbso.caltech.edu to *.bbso.njit.edu on begonias and
all other linux boxes. Files affected were (all in /etc):
 HOSTNAME - obvious changes
 hosts -    changed bbso.caltech to bbso.njit but kept the bbso.caltech
            as an additional entry for the entry for the machine I was changing
 resolv.conf - obvious plus add nameserver 192.76.121.17 to top of list
 sysconfig/network - obvious
 sendmail.cw - added machine machine.bbso.njit.edu machine.bbso.caltech.edu
               machine.caltech.edu

copied the Linux Elf binary of kermit and supporting text files
  and installed in /local - textfiles in /local/kermit - had to give
  /var/lock world read/write privs so kermit could write its lock file
  there.

added other bbso machines in hosts.lpd

added lexlp on sunflower and hp3lp on begonias (use printer
configurator)

downloaded latest Xfig package from redhat to fix bug Carsten found
and installed on all Linux machines but ingrid

downloaded and installed gimp and gtk libs - installed in /usr/local
(I wanted to install in /local, but was unsuccessful.) Changed
/etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib and ran ldconfig after
make install on the gtk+ library archive.

added a pdprp group with sjk and varsik as members on all machines
so we could both have rw access to /home/ingrid/pdprp files
