Sysadmin:Installing ACLs

primarily notes for aaron and son as we set this up.

setting up the mirror:

- Create a dedicated user for the whole mirror.
- Create a seperate directory for the mirror, writeable by the new user.
- Place the ftpsync script in the mirror user's $HOME/bin (or just $HOME)
- Place the ftpsync.conf.sample into $HOME/etc as ftpsync.conf and edit
  it to suit your system.  You should at the very least change the TO=
  and RSYNC_HOST lines.
- Create $HOME/log (or wherever you point $LOGDIR to)

- excluded the architectures we don't want

run ftpsync

tftp setup:

added to /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

 RUN_DAEMON="yes"
 OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"

also did:

 mkdir -p /var/lib/tftpboot
 /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start

Basically, this is what you want to do in order to install the very basic fai server:

[Wait for further update on how to tweak things!]
