- | It is split into 3 categories: copy to install, mount and copy, and annoying installs. | + | ==== fresh install ==== |
+ | |||
+ | install a clean install of os x and run system updates **only**. | ||
+ | === Setting up the user === | ||

- | ===== Config guest user ===== | ||
- | In system Preferences >> Accounts: | ||
- | enable the guest account | ||
- | disable automatic login | ||
- | ===== Alternative setup ===== | ||
- | The mac named "river" has had AD logon enabled on it. ACM users can use there AD account on this machine. | ||
- | I was working on shared home directories with ACM, but the problem I ran into is the UID's are not consistant. The ACM server uses likewise to handle AD auth, and likewise uses it own hasing method to generate uid's. Apple uses a different hashing method. Apple has the option to use the UID from another field, so I enabled unix services for AD on the AD server. Likewise does not seem to have a similar option. In the next server upgrade, I am going to recomend not using likewise, and using the AD server as a standard LDAP server for authentication and authorization. | ||
- | ====== Other machines ====== | ||
- | There are 3 G4 mac workstations available for use in the acm office. | ||
- | Another G4 is used to host the library server. It currently displays a pictures slide-show. 3 more G4 mac machines are now set up in the ACM office for use. |
