These software packages should be installed on every machine we provision, regardless of their purpose.
- nano - text editor
- vim - text editor
- nfs-common for Debian or nfs-utils for CentOS - allow NFS mounts
- wget - wget a file from the Internet
- iproute2 - more modern instantiations of ifconfig and a lot of other network tools
- net-tools for those among us who like ifconfig
- gcc - most recent C compiler (modules can support as many versions as we'd like but we need at least one)
- ntp - get a time server
On a cluster, add these:
- C3 tools (see the C3 tools page) - possibly deprecated, Ansible is a good replacement
- openldap
- openldap-clients
- openssh-ldap
- pam_ldap
- nss-pam-ldapd
