Installed Squirrelmail-1.1.2.  Also, I created the plugins mailfwd and mailvac and installed them.  mailvac still needs a small c program to write out the .vacation files.

- tried to run https://webmail.physics.ubc.ca after copying /mail/squirrel.. to /opt/apache/htdocs.  However, it tried to download the php script instead of running it.  Tried
[144]physics{root} /opt/apache/bin/httpd -l

Mod_so.c is missing so cannot load DSO modules.
Will re-install apache:

make clean
make
make install

- Built and installed php-4.0.5
./configure --with-mysql=/opt/mysql --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs
make
make install
 

- built and installed PRNGD, a Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon, obtained from http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html

editted the makefile and chose gcc and solaris 2.6 settings
make
copied prngd to /usr/loca/sbin
created /etc/prngd.conf and /etc/prngd-seed.  output goes to socket at /var/run/egd-pool=
started prngd (/usr/local/sbin/prngd /var/run/egd-pool)
downloaded and made EGD (didn't install it), used egc.pl to test prngd as per instructions in prngd README file.

re-ran openssl as follows:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key -rand /var/run/egd-pool 1024
moved the server key to /opt/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key

[147]kepler{root} ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20
Configuring mod_ssl/2.8.4 for Apache/1.3.20
 + Apache location: ../apache_1.3.20 (Version 1.3.20)
 + Auxiliary patch tool: ./etc/patch/patch (local)
 + Applying packages to Apache source tree:
   o Extended API (EAPI)
   o Distribution Documents
   o SSL Module Source
   o SSL Support
   o SSL Configuration Additions
   o SSL Module Documentation
   o Addons
Done: source extension and patches successfully applied.

Now proceed with the following commands (Bourne-Shell syntax):
 $ cd ../apache_1.3.20
 $ SSL_BASE=/path/to/openssl ./configure ... --enable-module=ssl
 $ make
 $ make certificate
 $ make install

NOTE: (from the mod_ssl users guide)
Make sure you add mod_ssl to the Apache source tree first and then do a fresh
 configuration and installation of PHP3. For SSL support EAPI patches are required
 which have to change internal Apache structures. PHP3 needs to know about these in
 order to work correctly. Always make sure that -DEAPI is contained in the compiler
 flags when PHP3 is build.

For PHP4, it looks like this gets used automatically, i.e. it picks it up from the apache source tree.

./configure --with-mysql=/opt/mysql --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl
make
make install

setenv SSL_BASE /usr/local/ssl
setenv EAPI_MM ../mm-1.1.3
./configure --prefix=/opt/apachemssl --enable-module=most --enable-module=ssl
make
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Before you install the package you now should prepare the SSL       |
| certificate system by running the 'make certificate' command.       |
| For different situations the following variants are provided:       |
|                                                                     |
| % make certificate TYPE=dummy    (dummy self-signed Snake Oil cert) |
| % make certificate TYPE=test     (test cert signed by Snake Oil CA) |
| % make certificate TYPE=custom   (custom cert signed by own CA)     |
| % make certificate TYPE=existing (existing cert)                    |
|        CRT=/path/to/your.crt [KEY=/path/to/your.key]                |
|                                                                     |
| Use TYPE=dummy    when you're a  vendor package maintainer,         |
| the TYPE=test     when you're an admin but want to do tests only,   |
| the TYPE=custom   when you're an admin willing to run a real server |
| and TYPE=existing when you're an admin who upgrades a server.       |
| (The default is TYPE=test)                                          |
|                                                                     |
| Additionally add ALGO=RSA (default) or ALGO=DSA to select           |
| the signature algorithm used for the generated certificate.         |
|                                                                     |
| Use 'make certificate VIEW=1' to display the generated data.        |
|                                                                     |

• Installed emacs v20.7 (not xemacs) Used ./configure, make, make install. emacs obtained from ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/mirror2/gnu/emacs/

Downloaded latest teTeX (binary) distribution and installed it.  Followed instructions at ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/comp/tex/teTeX/1.0/distrib/INSTALL
During install.sh got this:

 
Current options setup:

==============================================================================
  <A>  alternate directory for automatically generated fonts: [X]
         directory name: /usr/local/etc/texfonts
  <V>  separate tree for variable files:                      [X]
         directory name: /usr/local/etc/texmf
  <L>  local texmf support tree                               [X]
         search local tree before main tree                   [ ]
         directory name: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local
  <S>  create symlinks in standard directories:               [X]
            binaries to: /usr/local/bin
            manpages to: /usr/local/man
                info to: /usr/local/info
 

After install.sh finished, got the following:

Welcome to the teTeX TeX system!

Some notes on how to proceed:
  - set up your PATH to include the directory containing the just
    installed binaries in /usr/local/bin.
    Similarly, MANPATH and INFOPATH to include the relevant newly
    installed subdirectories.
  - run ``texconfig confall'' to check your setup
  - call texconfig to set up a few things: hyphenation, paper size for
    printing, printer mode (implies resolution), font generation, etc.
  - you need to run texhash after you install new files in
      /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
  - There are two mailing list for discussion and announces about the
    teTeX.  See the FAQ (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/tetex/teTeX-FAQ) for more about this.
  - See CTAN sites (systems/unix/teTeX/distrib/updates) for updates and
    corrections to the system. For information about CTAN, see
    /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/help/ctan.

Did perl Makefile.PL and got the following: I will use the following settings for compiling and testing: testpassword (default) = nocatchstderr (default) = 0 testhost (default) = testdb (default) = test testuser (default) = To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and 'perldoc INSTALL'. followed by make, then make install.

• Rebooted physics this morning and hme1 (dns, 142.103.236.1) did not come up.  In conjuntion with this the lmhosts files on all the secretary computers and lab computers needed updating for the new physics address of 142.103.236.11.
• Eventually I found out about hme1 not coming up and manually set it (/usr/sbin/ifconfig hme1 inet 142.103.236.1 netmask 255.255.255.192).  I then needed to stop and start named (/etc/init.d/named [stop,start]) before transfers to hub would work.  ifconfig shows both interfaces still use the same ethernet addr even though I made the eeprom change below.
• I think I may need to do a reboot -r.

• We reset the dns so that 142.103.236.1 was only for dns.physics but then the Xterminals all failed to connect anymore.
• I altered /etc/hostname.[hme0, hme1] to contain physics and dns respectively.  I then manually had to reset the ip addresses for each interface using ifconfig:

ifconfig hme1 inet 142.103.236.1, ifconfig hme0 inet 142.103.236.11.  This clobbered all the ssh processes running so I had to restart sshd (/etc/init.d/sshd stop|start).
• Note, in order to get the two ethernet cards to use their built-in ethernet addresses, rather than both having the same one assigned by the sun prom, I used the eeprom command as follows:


eeprom "local-mac-address?"=true

It will take effect on the next re-boot.

          Please save your read mail in folders (which will move it to your
          home mail directory) instead of leaving it in your inbox (where it
          adds to the overfull state of the system mail directory).
          You can get pine to default the folder name to the sender's address.
          Just set the "elm-style-save" variable in your .pinerc file to "yes".

          ** Attention all email users **

          Unread mail will be deleted from the system after 3 months.

94-01-14  xmosaic has been installed.  If you use this program, please
          exercise caution not to transfer large amounts of data (which
