Costard is our linux server. It runs on an dual 700MHz Pentium-III Intel machine with 512 MB of memory. Currently there are only 9GB of disk space available under /scratch but we will expand our disk capacity as the need arises. You can use this disk to create additional directories for your own use. Additionally, all the usual scratch and data disks are mounted from the other LBL servers. If your favourite disk is not available please let me (Alex) know.
To log in use your standard LBL password (the password map is shared over nis with the other LBL machines). If you don't have an LBL account but need to log on costard, please contact Alex or Dave and we will set you up with a local account. The Telnet and Rsh daemons are disabled so the only way to access the machine is using Ssh. Home directories are automounted from the various servers. Disk quotas are currently not enabled on costard.
Local copies of BaBar software releases can be found under /babar/dist/releases. To link against the local copies set $BFDIST to /babar/dist. A local CVS repository is available under /home/online1/babarcvs. Everybody is encouraged to import their anlysis into the local CVS repository. Since $CVSROOT is set up to point to the SLAC CVS repository you will need to explicity tell cvs which repository to use. For example, assuming your analysis resides in the MyAnalysis directory, you would type:
Of course, MyAnalysys is a dumb name so you should try to come up with
somethign more inspired. To check out a module already available in
CVS, you would type:
A fairly detailed description of the printing
environment can be found here.
If you are not familiar with Linux you can find all the man pages here.
