New System Setup Script

This script performs the following:

1. adds egeland.net machines to resolv.conf configuration
2. copies ssh server and authorization key files to rde/root directories
3. adds stored mozilla profiles for rde
4. installs basic software utilities
5. clears any denyhost blocks

This script uses rsync to copy files from a root tree which was set up on egeland.net. The files in the root tree are hardlinks to configured files on the egeland.net server.

The current config.sh script is updated and stored in /var/www/egeland/pub/ on egeland.net.

To run the script, paste the following command in a root terminal on the system to configured. The script may be run multiple times.

wget http://egeland.net/pub/config.sh -q -O - | bash

Additionally, the a server script may be run to set up software on a new egeland.net master server. The script may be run multiple times.

wget http://egeland.net/pub/serverconfig.sh -q -O - | bash
