Installation of 1.2TB USB HDD

1.Connect the device (power and USB), and turn it on.
2.Check the auto device detector message by
 # dmesg
   and find the device address (for example /dev/sdc1)
 2'. format the disk. (if the disk is new or differently formatted)
  # /sbin/mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
3. Make the mountpoint directory.
 # mkdir /mnt/usb01 (for example)
4. Mount it.
 # mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb01
5. Change owner
 # chown -R kyoshimura:users /mnt/usb01
6. Make link (for example)
 $ ln -s /mnt/usb01 ~/

Japanization

Finally it is impossible to enable Japanese server in English environment. 
So, I change the language setting only when I login to the server.
Language --> Japanese --> Login

Enlargement of Monitor Resolution

Currently Impossible!!
1280x1040 is the largest for the machine??
Spec of VA912b says so...

Installation of Applications

PGI Fortran/C 6.1.6 --> Into /usr/pgi

***ATTENTION: You should not be in Japanese environment!!***
   If you are using X, please make a session in English. 
   (Other languages are not checked)
Visit http://www.pgroup.com and get latest package.
# cd ~/downloads/tmp/
# ./install
Visit http://www.pgroup.com again and assign for new license.
Change $PGI/license.dat
***Note: Only kyoshimura has right to use.***

PGI updated to v7.2 on 2009/04/13 as fuyu's restoration

  • Source codes are downloadable from http://www.pgroup.com
  • Installation is automatic done by "install" script in the package.
  • License ($PGI/license.dat) should be updated, too. (since MAC address has been changed.)
  1. Visit www.pgroup.com and login. (If you used to have your license.dat, you should have your account.)
  2. Select "Display PIN code" and enter PIN username and password (username starts with "pn") --> your 16 digits PIN code will be shown.
  3. Go to "Tie PIN to account" and enter PIN code. --> PGI PIN will be tied to your login account.
  4. Go to "Create permanent keys" and select your PIN.
  5. In case you want to replace the old license file, chose "delete the license key" option. --> Deletion process will take a day. During this time, a trial license key can be issued.

GrADS --> Into ~/GrADS

Visit http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html and get the appropriate one.
gunzip, untar
% set path = ( /home/kyoshimura/GrADS/bin $path )

GTOOL 3.5 --> Into /usr/local/gtool3.5

Get the package from http://gcm.tokyo.rist.or.jp/gcm/
Because of license problem (only kyoshimura has right to use PGI fortran), 
untar the file to /usr/local but permission is all kyoshimura.
# cd /usr/local
# tar xvf gtool3.5.tar
# chown -R kyoshimura:users ./gtool3.5 ; exit
% setenv GTOOLDIR /usr/local/gtool3.5

2. makeman.sh
3. copy the man directory to your local directory.

 -> it causes some errors, but main parts look OK.

*** To use same options of PGI, you should install MPICH by the PGI compilers***

You need followings
1. machine.LINUX in $MPIDIR/util/machine
 --> But, I don't know whether is is really effective or not.
2. activate rsh service.
 --> in /etc/xinetd.d/rsh, "disable=no" 
 # service xinetd restart
 But, it causes serious security hole. So,
3. make a permission to use rsh.
 a. Use iptables
  # iptables -L (check current status)
    You need to add your IP to be accepted as well as "localhost"
  # iptables -I INPUT -p udp -s fuyu.ucsd.edu -j ACCEPT
  # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s fuyu.ucsd.edu -j ACCEPT
  # /etc/init.d/iptables save
 b. Use TCPwrapper
  Also, if you activate rsh service, servers that already allowed can use rsh.
  So, use TCPwrapper to deny. 
  # vi /etc/hosts.deny
    --> Add "in.rshd : ALL"
  # vi /etc/hosts.allow
    --> Add "in.rshd : localhost 127.0.0.1 fuyu.ucsd.edu fuyu : ALLOW"
  # vi /etc/hosts.equiv
    --> Add hostname(s) such as,
        "localhost 127.0.0.1 fuyu.ucsd.edu fuyu"
 c. Modify ~/.rhosts
   Finally, add hostname(s) and username to your .rhosts.
  $ vi ~/.rhosts
    --> Add "hostname username" such as,
        fuyu kyoshimura
        localhost kyoshimura
        fuyu.ucsd.edu kyoshimura

Using ssh instead of rsh

  • It is generally better to disable rsh for security reason, so ssh should be used. You should generate a ssh key and place in authorized_keys file.
    $ cd ~/.ssh
    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa (or dsa)
    $ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keyz
