---++ Infrastructure Support for a DIY DICE Machine

---+++ IMPORTANT NOTICE! SECURITY RISK!

NEVER LOG INTO A DIY DICE MACHINE WITH YOUR DICE PASSWORD!

If you ever need to log into a DIY DICE machine, please ask the user to create a local username and password for you.

---+++ DIY DICE server

The DIY DICE LCFG server is =diydice.inf.ed.ac.uk=.

---+++ First steps to create a DIY DICE machine

The following steps are required to set up the environment for a new DIY DICE
machine:

<ol>
<li>Add a dns entry for the new machine.

DIY DICE machines live in the diy.inf.ed.ac.uk sub-domain and are only supported
on self managed wires; currently (Sept 13) SM164 and SM197 in the Forum.

Create, using =rfe dns/inf=,  DNS entries in the form :-
<verbatim>
129.215.197.91 kluster.diy
</verbatim>

<li>Create an LCFG stub profile.

Here is an example stub profile for a real (physical) machine :-

<verbatim>
#include <dice/os/diystub.h>
#include <dice/hw/dell_optiplex_gx620.h>

dhclient.mac    00:13:72:CF:65:B8
</verbatim>

Here is an example stub profile for a !VirtualBox guest :-
<verbatim>
/* heem.diy stub profile */
#include <lcfg/hidden/sl6_64vars.h>
#include <dice/os/diystub.h>
#include <dice/hw/virtualbox.h>

dhclient.mac    08:00:27:72:E0:D0
</verbatim>

<li>Create a diy dice home directory for the user.

This is done by adding the following line to =live/include/live/diydice.h= in the subversion repository:

<verbatim>
DIYUSER(uun)
</verbatim>

</ol>

Note that it is possible that the user will require the BIOS and installation passwords.
