How to Setup a Mac mini
Setting up a Mac Mini 10.6 1) Power on 2) Wait for initialization to do its thing. 3) Do obvious choices -- Do not transfer 4) no Apple ID 5) Enter Dr. Moorman's info. -- His info (address and etc is the school info) 6) college = Transy 7) more good stuff 8) Full Name = Transy CS Administrator User Name = admin 9) let keyboard do its thing 10) Put the terminal in the Dock 11)Making stuff secure a)System Preferences>>Accounts>Login Option b)Unlock ... c)Unclick these two : Show Restart/Sleep and Show password hints. d) Auto-login = off e)display login window = name/password 12)Network account server a) Click Join b)Open Directory Utility c)unlock d)double click LDAP e) show option f) click new g)uncheck use for contacts h) Server IP 10.20.3.8 i) Continue j) RFC 2307 k) continue/ok l) edit>>security uncheck disable text passwords 13) Open your Terminal Enter these commands: id kmoorman ssh -l root babbage (enter the password... I hope you know it) cd /etc/exports/ exportfs -av
Set up your password sudo passwd #changes password (don't actually put in the pound comments!) 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!
