Configuration of user environments

 

After the installation of PADE and the CAML Utilities, the environment of each user must be configured for proper execution of PADE. This consists of three steps:

  1. There are several environment variables that must be set, and a couple of additions to the executables path. This is most easily accomplished by adding a few lines to the user's shell startup file (.cshrc or .profile). Use the file pade_setenv or pade_export in the examples subdirectory under nist_pade to determine what additions are needed.

  2. Execute the CAML Utility padeinituser. This will create the directory
        $HOME/pvm3/bin/$PVM_ARCH
    (if it does not exist), and create symbolic links from that directory to the utilities pvmmake, targets, and pvmstat. Note this step should be performed on each filesystem/architecture pair in the VM.

  3. The user should setup a .rhosts file in his or her home directory on each machine of the virtual machine which contains the names of all the other machines in the virtual machine.
