These are the changes that need to be made if a computer is to be added to the CS network, follow these steps.

  1. Add the machine's hostname and IP address to /etc/namedb/master/cs.zone (or public.zone for the public network). Make sure to update the serial number at the top of the file, and to end hostnames with a period so that they are FQDN. Also make sure to use an IP address that is not already taken.
  2. Add the machine's reverse record to /etc/namedb/master/159.28.230.zone (or 159.28.231.zone for the public zone). The same rules as above apply.
  3. Restart DNS by sending a SIGHUP to the named process, or using the rndc reload command.
  4. Add the machine to forty-one:/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. You will need its Ethernet MAC address for this. Make sure to terminate each field with a semicolon.
  5. Restart dhcpd by running the command /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart
  1. Copy dhcpd.conf to quarkprime, and restart dhcpd there as well.

Note on CNAMEs: If you want to create a CNAME for foo.public.cs.earlham.edu that is bar.public.cs.earlham.edu, the definition will go into public.zone. On the other hand, if you wanted bar.cs.earlham.edu to be a CNAME for foo.public.cs.earlham.edu, the CNAME definition will go into cs.zone.
