Realmification

Realmification of the Rocks distribution is pretty simple. All you need to do is to install the ncsu-beowulf package on the cluster. This package will configure kerberos to interface with the kerberos authentication system here at NCSU. It modifies one of the PAM configuration files. Finally, it installs the allowuser and rmuser commands. Which will allow you to let NCSU realm IDs log into the cluster. Both command accept the --help argument to display how they are to be used.

The latest version of the ncsu-beowulf package is availible on kickstart.linux.ncsu.edu in the /pub/contrib/jjneely/NPACI_Rocks directory.
