su- # switches user switch to root
emacs /etc/auto-master ensure that home is uncommented.
emacs /etc/auto-home comment the + line add this line * 10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/home/&
automount -vc
reboot
AFTER REBOOT
change name of computer in system preferences>>sharing If you are on machine x... change the name to x!
Set up a static IP
a) Login to Babbage through ssh once again.
b) view the file in /etc/ called hosts. Find your computer and note what its static IP is. 10.20.3.x.
c) Sys prefs>>network
d) Not DHCP but Manually.
e) Take the static IP you found and put it in for the static IP
f) Subnet will always be 255.255.255.0
g) Router is 10.20.3.1
h) DNS server is always 10.20.70.16, 10.20.70.17
i) Search domains = transy.edu
Note ----> DNS server and Search domains are grey. This is tricky. Don't be fooled into leaving it in there. If you do not manually put it in, MAC will be evil and make you put it in anyway.
Have Dr. Moorman go to apple.developer.com and put in his magic passwords and such and download the iPhone SDK and XCode.
We're done!
