1.1       matthew     5: 
                      6: Install RedHat 7.2 on your system.  Use a 'custom' install and include
                      7: the web and sql servers along with any others you need or desire.
                      8: 
                      9: 1. Add the user www
                     10: /usr/sbin/adduser www
                     11: 
                     12: 2. Determine the user id of www (needed in the next step):
                     13: grep ^www /etc/passwd | cut -d':' -f3
                     14: 
                     15: 3. Work around authentication issues:
                     16: wget http://www.wwnet.net/~janc/software/mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz
                     17: tar zxvf mod_auth_external-2.1.13.tar.gz
                     18: cd mod_auth_external-2.1.13/pwauth/
                     19: 
                     20: edit config.h and change the line:
                     21: 
                     22: #define SERVER_UIDS 99          /* user "nobody" */
                     23: 
                     24: to
                     25: 
                     26: #define SERVER_UIDS 666         /* user "www" */
                     27: 
                     28: where 666 is the number that results from step 2 above.
                     29: 
                     30: make
                     31: cp pwauth /usr/local/sbin
                     32: chmod 6755 /usr/local/sbin/pwauth
                     33: 
                     34: edit (creating the file) /etc/pam.d/pwauth to have the contents
                     35:         auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
                     36:         auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
                     37:         account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
                     38:

1.2       harris41  161: Regarding: Perl modules
                    162: As noted above, it is possible to install then redirect
                    163: the files with LON-CAPA-systemperl.  Another approach
                    164: is to use loncom/build/system_dependencies/perltest.pl
                    165: combined with the 30+ perl specific rpms that RedHat is
                    166: now releasing with version 7.*.
