• Before the lab course:
  • check the PCs in the Meridian building:
    • they should all be functional, broken ones should be replaced
    • in total we should have about 10 computers available for the students
  • Setup the prakti accounts
• Introduction to Computers/Linux for Lab Students

Add new Users

• Go to the remeis internal homepage -> admin -> LDAP
• Fill out the necessary fields, including a valid email address. If possible, also fill out the fields for room and telephone number.
• Log into LDAP, go to import and copy the text of the previous step. Important: if the user is external, "current" in the first line has to be changed to "external"

• set the password of the user: Use the LDAP query ldappasswd -H ldap://grus -x -D "cn=admin,dc=sternwarte,dc=uni-erlangen,dc=de" -W -S "uid={USERNAME},ou=current,ou=People,dc=sternwarte,dc=uni-erlangen,dc=de" while obviously adjusting the LDAP dn.
• log in as ubuntuadmin on taurus and create the home directory like that: sudo mkdir /exports/disk1/{USERNAME} && sudo chown {USERNAME}:remeis /exports/disk1/{USERNAME}
• Set the quota (on taurus), using a prototype which has normal quota sudo edquota -p [prototype] [username] (normal Quota is 8GB softlimit and 12GB hardlimit; it can be manually edited/shown with edquota -u user)
• if desired (in most cases), create a folder for the user at /userdata/data/[username] and adjust the permissions with sudo chown username:remeis username
• send Email to admin about the new user
