A copy of the software installed on the machines is sitting in macadmins public folder on workstation3.local. It is split into 3 categories: copy to install, mount and copy, and annoying installs.

in annoying installs: xcode must be installed before macports, and mumble will want you to logout

In system Preferences » Accounts: enable the guest account disable automatic login

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.

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.
