Coupling together DC and SSH: Management Issues

These are a few issues relating to the IITGDC++ project.

First, the people involved. We would require:

• 1 Account Arbitrator
• Lots of volunteers who have a CSE lab machine.

Responsibility of Account Arbitrator:

• He/She would be required to attend to all requests pertaining to user accounts by the junta.
• On receiving a request, allocate the account to one of the volunteer machines in the project.

Responsibility of volunteers:

• Install Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat on their lab machines.
• Install the following software on their lab machines:
• ssh
• openssh-server
• sshfs
• eiskaltdcpp-gtk (Relevant packages can be found at http://jatinga.iitg.ernet.in/~k.pranav)
• Create a user group called "iitgdcpp" on their machines.
• Upon receiving a user account request, create a user account on their machines and add the account to the "iitgdcpp" group.
• Download the file 'iitgdcpp_server.zip' from http://jatinga.iitg.ernet.in/~k.pranav/ and unzip it in the home directory of all iitgdcpp user accounts.
• Configure the eiskaltdcpp-gtk installation for each user account according to the instructions in the README file.
• Finally, send the user account password to the user who sent the request.
