Configured Workstation Installation

so far the installation process goes like this:

boot from a CD, choose the ubuntu 'server' install.

select partitioning along the lines proposed in Configured Workstations. (you'll set up /tmp later).

put a copy of the CAL archive signing key onto the machine in a reasonable place and import it into the apt keyring:

[caladmin@metis ~]$ sudo apt-key add /tmp/archive-signing-key.gpg 
OK
[caladmin@metis ~]$ 

install openssh-server, and change PasswordAuthentication to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

put in place the official sources.list

apt-get install cal-configured-workstation

things i still need to streamline:

• network configuration: uses DHCP, but should use astro.columbia.edu as the default domain: use resolvconf?
• need to create krb5 keytab on each new host
• preseed debconf with standard answers
• transfer and/or compare standard configuration files after everything is done
• adding remote mount points in /etc/fstab (and /tmp as a tmpfs)
• kicking ipsec to function before trying to mount the remote filesystem
• configuring /etc/racoon/racoon.conf with proper hostname (is this a generic problem that i'll face again later?)
• putting in a setkey.conf that should work at boot.
• configuring shorewall
• configuring logcheck
• configuring the root mail alias to point somewhere
• pam-console for audio and plugdev groups
