SNIPS is totally depreciated
The official developer's install notes are at http://www.netplex-tech.com/snips/install.txt
On the new client
- Create snips group: groupadd -g 13000 -o snips
- Create snips user: useradd -u 13000 -g 13000 -c "Snips User" -d /export/home/snips -m -s /bin/tcsh snips
- This will leave snips with a *LK* entry in /etc/shadow which is OK
- remove ~snips/local.cshrc and .profile and .login which useradd created.
- From an existing client (not mgmt1) , tar up ~snips/ (the whole directory); the SnapShots system will need a .ssh/ and authorized_keys which also came over when you tarred up ~snips. Install that on the new machine, and chmod -R snips ~snips/
- Install SnipsStartupScript
On mgmt1
su - snips
cd ~/etcadd entries for the new server to the following files:
- hostmon-confg
- portmon-confg
- ippingmon-confg
- init.d/_thing_-init hup for each of those monitors
Test the client
- from mgmt1, telnet to the client, port 5355
- for the SnapShots system, test that you have a no-login ssh that works: from mgmt1; su - snips ssh newserver date
