Now for the real setup! I have now got func setup on hongkong, master, and the ARM machine 4-1, client. Now all thats left to do is to get it up and running on the rest of the machines.

Installing and configuring FUNC

2010-11-08T10:18:00.000-08:00

For my class project with Jason Van we are installing FUNC on a group of computers. FUNC is a program that is used for broadcasting network commands to a bunch of computers (minions) just from one location (master).

First I installed FUNC on the master (chili) by using yum install func. After that all we had to do for the master was set the service to run on level 3,4,5 (chkconfig --level 345 certmaster on) and starting it (service certmaster start).

Then came the minion installs of Romania. Again I used yum install func to install the service and then I configure the "/etc/certmaster/minion" file to display the correct certmaster name (chile.proximity.on.ca). Enabled the service and started exactly the same way as the master. On the master system I ran "certmaster --list" and then ran "certmaster-ca --sign romania.proximity.on.ca".

I did run into a few troubles with iptables not immediately letting the default port through and I had to remove the IPv6 address line in the /etc/hosts file because the certmaster kept listing romania incorrectly.

Build an RPM package for Vuze

2010-09-18T22:14:00.000-07:00

To start you will neded to get into super user mode (su) and install Development tools (yum install "Development tools") and rpmdevtools (yum install rpmdevtools)

If the ~/rpmbuild directory doesn't exist use the command "rpmdev-setuptree".
if ~/rpmbuild already exists then use the command "rpmdev-wipetree".

Place the .tar.gz Vuze package that you just downloaded, into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and create vuze.spec in the ~/rpmbuild/specs folder

That .spec must have at least a Name, Version, Release, Summary and License field

i.e
Name: Vuze
Version: 4504
Release: 1
Summary: P2P bittorrent client
License: GPL

%description
P2P bittorrent

Finally run the command "rpmbuild -ba vuze.spec"

Building Nled and Azureus

NLED - Neat Little Editor is a text mode programmers editor.

In order to install NLED you need:

1. install the program from the website: http://cdot.senecac.on.ca/software/nled/

2. Once installed, open a terminal and type: "tar -xzf nled_2_52_src.tgz

you will then need to install the C compiler, yum install gcc, and install the ncurses library, yum install */ncurses.h.
(you must be in root, su, to install them)

Finally type ./nled to start the program.

Azureus is a P2P file sharin client that uses the bittorrent protocol.

First, go to the link to download:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/azureus/vuze/Vuze_4504/Vuze_4504_linux.tar.bz2?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fsearch%2F%3Fwords%3Dazureuys%26type_of_search%3Dsoft%26words%3Dazureus%26search%3DSearch&ts=1284601611&use_mirror=softlayer

Once downloaded, open up a terminal and extract the .tar file from it's downloaded location using the line: tar xvf Vuze*

When extraction is complete move to the folder: cd vuze

(Azureus will need Java to run)

Finally run the program with: ./azureus
