This machines is mainly used to give users remote access to the system via the VNC server it exposes. configuration files can be found on the svn repo at:
http://svn.med.ira.inaf.it/repos/escsconf/escsRemote
The machine main configuration parameters are the following:
| PARAMETER | VALUE |
|---|---|
| hardware | Virtual Machine on VirtualBox running on :ref:`escsHost` |
| Kernel | 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 |
| hostname | escsRemote |
| eth0 | 192.167.189.57 |
| eth1 | 192.168.1.57 |
EscsRemote is installed and configured exactly as :ref:`escsCore1` in most of its services:
- users and groups are imported via NIS yellow pages from :ref:`escsMaster` as described in :ref:`escsCore1_nis`
- user homes are imported via NFS from :ref:`escsMaster` as in :ref:`escsCore1_nfs_and_automount`
- NTP configuration is done as in :ref:`escsCore1_ntp`
Two users are defined by default for accessing remptely this machine via VNC: manager and observer. The configuration file is defined as:
[root@escsRemote /]# cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers ... VNCSERVERS="1:manager 2:observer" VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1440x900 DisconnectClients=0" VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1440x900 DisconnectClients=0 NeverShared=1"
We use system service to run the VNC server and it can be accessed using a VNC viewer on ports 1 and 2 respectively for users manager and observer. Firewall is configured accordingly.
