|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP

*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==
* The following will install the Debian-ized version of the Ubuntu package for Plex. Resource: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51427-plex-media-server-for-debian/
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

'''NOTE:''' Don't use unrar-free! Sorry but it has a ton of trouble extracting files, where as the proprietary version "just works" (tm)!
* Compile
./configure

'''NOTE:''' It complained about libpar2 not having supplied patches, so I installed libpar2 from source

=== libpar2 ===

* Download latest source from here and push to /share/libpar2/

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==
* The following will install the Debian-ized version of the Ubuntu package for Plex. Resource: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51427-plex-media-server-for-debian/
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop

This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:

*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==
* The following will install the Debian-ized version of the Ubuntu package for Plex. Resource: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51427-plex-media-server-for-debian/
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

aptitude update
aptitude install plexmediaserver
* Browser to http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html to finish configuration.

== nzbget ==
* Download latest source from here and push to /share/nzbget/
* Extract files
cd /share/nzbget
tar zxvf nzbget-11.0.tar.gz
cd nzbget-11.0/
* Install missing dependencies
su
aptitude install libpar2-0 libpar2-0-dev libxml2-dev libncurses5-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev unrar
CTRL+D
'''NOTE:''' Don't use unrar-free! Sorry but it has a ton of trouble extracting files, where as the proprietary version "just works" (tm)!
* Compile
./configure

'''NOTE:''' It complained about libpar2 not having supplied patches, so I installed libpar2 from source

=== libpar2 ===

* Download latest source from here and push to /share/libpar2/
* Extract files
cd /share/libpar2

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www

echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==
* The following will install the Debian-ized version of the Ubuntu package for Plex. Resource: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51427-plex-media-server-for-debian/
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
aptitude install curl
curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | apt-key add -
aptitude update
aptitude install plexmediaserver
* Browser to http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html to finish configuration.

== nzbget ==
* Download latest source from here and push to /share/nzbget/
* Extract files
cd /share/nzbget
tar zxvf nzbget-11.0.tar.gz
cd nzbget-11.0/
* Install missing dependencies

'''NOTE:''' Don't use unrar-free! Sorry but it has a ton of trouble extracting files, where as the proprietary version "just works" (tm)!
* Compile
./configure

'''NOTE:''' It complained about libpar2 not having supplied patches, so I installed libpar2 from source

=== libpar2 ===

* Download latest source from here and push to /share/libpar2/
* Extract files
cd /share/libpar2
tar zxvf libpar2-0.2.tar.gz
cd libpar2-0.2/

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab

* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.

* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving

/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP

*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==
* The following will install the Debian-ized version of the Ubuntu package for Plex. Resource: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51427-plex-media-server-for-debian/
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
aptitude install curl
curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | apt-key add -
aptitude update
aptitude install plexmediaserver
* Browser to http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html to finish configuration.

== nzbget ==
* Download latest source from here and push to /share/nzbget/
* Extract files
cd /share/nzbget
tar zxvf nzbget-11.0.tar.gz
cd nzbget-11.0/
* Install missing dependencies
su
aptitude install libpar2-0 libpar2-0-dev libxml2-dev libncurses5-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev unrar
CTRL+D
'''NOTE:''' Don't use unrar-free! Sorry but it has a ton of trouble extracting files, where as the proprietary version "just works" (tm)!
* Compile
./configure

'''NOTE:''' It complained about libpar2 not having supplied patches, so I installed libpar2 from source

=== libpar2 ===

* Download latest source from here and push to /share/libpar2/
* Extract files
cd /share/libpar2
tar zxvf libpar2-0.2.tar.gz
cd libpar2-0.2/
cp /share/nzbget/nzbget-11.0/libpar2-0.2-* ./
patch < libpar2-0.2-bugfixes.patch
patch < libpar2-0.2-cancel.patch
./configure
make
make install

make
make install
* Setup
* Copied in post.sh and post.conf from previous install into the /share/nzbget/bin folder
* Copied .nzbget configuration file from previous install into ~/ folder

== Power Backup ==

 STOPPED HERE ON NEW GRIFFIN CONFIG 
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users

* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* Default BIOS options
** In the CPU settings, I enabled "Secure virtual machine mode", which is "AMD-V" and allows VirtualBox to run more optimized.
** Enabled Plug and Play OS

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0 / Squeeze with a desktop environment

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===
* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
Add "iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
Don't forget to have grub regenerate the proper files
update-grub

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install vim ssh rsync strace binutils killall gcc make build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` memtest86+

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Installed ATI (fglrx) Drivers ==
* Edit apt sources to add non-free:
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
* Find "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ squeeze main" and change to:
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free
* Update list of packages
aptitude update
* Install driver and requirements
aptitude install linux-headers-2.6-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') fglrx-control fglrx-driver
* Switched to console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 and typed the following
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
modprobe -r radeon drm
aticonfig --initial
/etc/init.d/gdm3 start
'''NOTE:''' If you have a problem unloading the radeon drivers, then you may need to reboot and try again. At least I kept getting "FATAL: module radeon is in use" even though I stopped gdm and it was resolved by simply rebooting and trying again.

== Installed ATI (fglrx) Drivers - Round 2 ==
I kept getting a signal 11 in Enemy Territory, so I installed the updated driver directly from ATI as follows:
* Removed old drivers
aptitude remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-video-ati
* Download new drivers from ATI
mkdir /share/ati
cd /share/ati
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run
* The documentation said I needed to add the xorg entries, but since I already installed from the non-free repository I already had the entries. All I need to do was reboot.
reboot

== Enemy Territory ==
=== Install ===
* Downloaded the et linux client 2.60 and the update and copied them to /share/et. Search for the following files:
**et-linux-2.60.x86.run
**et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
* I needed some various support files. Here are the commands:
<pre>
su
aptitude install linux32 glibc-2.11-1 libX11-6 libX11-dev ia32-libs
</pre>
* Install ET:
<pre>
cd /share/et
linux32 sh et-linux-2.60.x86.run
linux32 sh et-linux-2.60-update.x86.run
</pre>

=== Sound Fix ===
<pre>
aptitude install alsa
cd /share/et
wget http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.gz
gunzip -d et-sdl-sound.gz
chmod a+x et-sdl-sound
cp et-sdl-sound /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/
cd /usr/local/bin/
rm et
ln -s /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/et-sdl-sound et
</pre>

=== Setup ===
==== Increase Memory Settings ====
* Add the following to: /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/etmain/autoexec.cfg
<pre>
seta com_hunkmegs "128"
seta com_soundmegs "32"
seta com_zonemegs "32"
</pre>

==== Update / Enable PunkBuster ====
* Download latest .htm files from here: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-et.php
** I went ahead and put them in both the user folder: ~/.etwolf/pb and the main folder: /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb
** There were two sets of files, the "PunkBuster Security Files", which went under the pb folder and then the "PunkBuster Player Client Files", which went under the pb/htm folder.
* Once have the PB update: load ET, open the console with the tilda key, type the following to enable PB:
<pre>/pb_cl_enable</pre>
* Once PB is enabled, you need to get a GUID and again from the console type:
<pre>/pb_cdkeyreg</pre>
* Updated punkbuster files via:
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-et.php

== More Packages ==
* I use this for mounting cifs shares
aptitude install smbfs
* RDP Client and a GUI front end to connect to work or VirtualBox
aptitude install rdesktop tsclient
* VNC Client for remote connections
aptitude install xvnc4viewer
* VLC and plugin for streaming AVIs directly from website instead of downloading first
aptitude install vlc mozilla-plugin-vlc

== Moving Evolution Data and Settings ==
* Shutdown gconftool-2 and evolution for a safe copy (ensuring everything is written to disk, etc.):
gconftool-2 --shutdown
evolution --force-shutdown
* Copy the data:
rsync -av --progress ohayden@elf:~/.evolution/ ~/
* Copy the account settings:
rsync -av --progress ohayden@elf:~/.gconf/apps/evolution/ ~/.gconf/apps/
* Copy the account passwords:
rsync -av --progress ohayden@elf:~/.gnome2_private/Evolution ~/.gnome2_private/
* Launch evolution on lupin and this will popup a migration window. Once it's done, all is good.

== VNC / Remote Control ==

Turned on vino / remote control - This allows for a connect when a session logged in (aka shadowing)

# Select System->Preferences->Remote Desktop
# Check "Allow other users to view your desktop"
# Check "Allow other users to control your desktop"
# Uncheck "Ask you for confirmation"
# Check "Require the user to enter this password:"

== Adobe Flash 64-bit ==
I try to keep a clean system, but I draw the line at lost functionality and, sadly, swf doesn't handle everything. Flash is, unfortunately, required for certain websites I visit. Here's how I installed it:
* Close all opened browsers before the following steps:
cd /tmp
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
tar zxvf flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Open your browser and test with youtube.com and hulu.com.

== nzbget ==
* Download latest source from here and push to /share/nzbget/
http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/Download#Latest_testing_release
* Extract files
cd /share/nzbget
tar zxvf nzbget-0.7.0.tar.gz
cd nzbget-0.7.0
* Install missing dependencies
su
aptitude install libpar2-0 libpar2-0-dev libxml2-dev libncurses5-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev unrar
CTRL+D
'''NOTE:''' Don't use unrar-free! Sorry but it has a ton of trouble extracting files, where as the proprietary version "just works" (tm)!
* Compile
./configure
make
* Setup
mkdir bin
cd bin
ln -s /share/nzbget/nzbget-0.7.0/nzbget ./nzbget
* Copied in post.sh and post.conf from previous install into the /share/nzbget/bin folder
* Copied .nzbget configuration file from previous install into ~/ folder

== nzbgetweb ==
* Install required packages
aptitude install php5 php5-cgi lighttpd
* Make a directory for web interface
mkdir /var/www/nzbgetweb
* Copy files from existing install - If you download clean then there will be some minor configuration, see the README included with nzbgetweb.
* Set the directory permissions
chmod 755 /var/www/nzbgetweb -R
* Configure lighttpd for fastcgi and php handling
vim /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
* Added "mod_fastcgi" to server.modules section:
<pre>
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_alias",
"mod_compress",
"mod_fastcgi",
"mod_redirect",
)
</pre>
* Added handler
<pre>
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi",
"socket" => "/tmp/php.socket"
)))
</pre>
* Restart web server
/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

== VirtualBox ==
Linux containers weren't all that great for Android development, so I'm going towards VirtualBox once again. I still believe lxc to be of use with perhaps openWRT or my custom robot development, but not so much when I want to connect to my phone through USB. I can hack around the issue, but I rather spend my time working on higher priorities.

* Get and installed VirtualBox
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.4/virtualbox-4.0_4.0.4-70112~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.0_4.0.4-70112~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-opengl
'''NOTE:''' In the host, don't forget to add your user to the vboxusers group! I forgot to do so and I wasn't able to access USB devices in the guest. It showed the devices in the Devices->USB Devices menu, but I wasn't able to enable them until I added my user account to vboxusers and re-login. 
'''NOTE:''' In the guest, add your user to the vboxsf group as well. 

== Samsung Captivate Issue in VirtualBox ==
* TAGS: question mark questions android

After figuring out the two notes in the VirtualBox section above, I still had an issue using "adb devices". I could have cheated and ran "adb start-server" as root, but that would be cheating. Any how, this is was it was showing:
<pre>
???????????? no permissions
</pre>
The solution is simple although a bit lengthy. Find the device node. Easiest way is to use dmesg and look for the device, such as:
<pre>
dmesg | less
</pre>
Scroll down or search:
<pre>
[ 799.376993] usb 1-1: Product: SAMSUNG_Android
[ 799.376998] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
[ 799.377023] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: I897bc159a11
[ 799.377212] usb 1-1: configuration #3 chosen from 1 choice
[ 799.377650] cdc_acm 1-1:3.0: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem.
[ 799.377844] cdc_acm 1-1:3.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
</pre>

Here we see the "ttyACM0" device, so now we run the following on the device node to figure out some unique attributes for our upcoming udev rule.
<pre>
su
udevadm info --attribute-walk --name=/dev/ttyACM0
</pre>
Which gives us a full attribute walk, but all we care about is the actual device:
<pre>
looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.0/usb1/1-1':
KERNELS=="1-1"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"
DRIVERS=="usb"
ATTRS{configuration}==""
ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==" 4"
ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}=="3"
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="c0"
ATTRS{bMaxPower}==" 96mA"
ATTRS{urbnum}=="4690"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="681c"
ATTRS{bcdDevice}=="0400"
ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="02"
ATTRS{bDeviceSubClass}=="00"
ATTRS{bDeviceProtocol}=="00"
ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}=="1"
ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="64"
ATTRS{speed}=="480"
ATTRS{busnum}=="1"
ATTRS{devnum}=="7"
ATTRS{version}==" 2.00"
ATTRS{maxchild}=="0"
ATTRS{quirks}=="0x0"
ATTRS{authorized}=="1"
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="SAMSUNG"
ATTRS{product}=="SAMSUNG_Android"
ATTRS{serial}=="I897bc159a11"
</pre>
From the above I pulled out the following for my udev rule:
<pre>
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="681c"
</pre>
Now create the udev rule:
<pre>
vim /etc/udev/rules.d/z21_android_phone.rules
</pre>
I added the following to tell it to allow every one r+w access to the device node:
<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="681c", MODE="0666"
</pre>
Next we restart udev:
<pre>
/etc/init.d/udev restart
</pre>
Re-run adb devices:
<pre>
CTRL+D
./adb devices
</pre>
<pre>
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached ss
I897bc159a11 device
</pre>
Eureka!! Now I can use adb as my normal user and I don't have to rely on root!

== Remove NetworkManager ==
You heard me!! NetworkManager is a pansy arse program anyways. Real men manage their own networks. In all seriousness, NetworkManager caused me some grief as I setup bridging for my linux containers (lxc). The problem was Evolution (don't get me started on mail clients) thought that the network was down, NetworkManager reported it as down, and therefore was so kind as to disable my send/receive button and menu items. It likewise wouldn't let me select work online either. If it ain't broke, don't fix it... but in this case NetworkManager is broken and does the exact opposite of what it was designed to do! I'm a bit bias against over complication of such a simple task, so I'd just prefer to manage my own network. So long, and thanks for all the fish:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
aptitude purge network-manager network-manager-gnome

Ohayden: /* Fried Eggplant */

= Modified Traditional Soupa =
==Ingredients==
* 4 pounds chuck roast with fat (don't trim fat as is important)
* 5 tablespoons pickling spice (cinnamon, mustard seed, black peppercorns, cloves, allspice, dill seed, bay leaves, ginger, coriander, and mace)
* 4 minced cloves garlic
* 3 cans (8 oz cans) tomato sauce
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Water
* Fresh mint
* 1 cup red wine (optional)
* 1 head cabbage (cut in 1/8ths)
* 1 loaf French bread (preferably slightly stale) sliced into 1 inch pieces.

==Directions==
* Cut chuck roast into medium sized pieces and add chuck roast, spices (in a tea strainer or cheese cloth), garlic, tomato sauce, fresh mint, salt and pepper to a large stock pot. Fill pot approximately 1 inch from top with water and let simmer for 4 hours at medium heat. As it simmers, add more water as needed.
* During the last half hour, add the fresh mint, wine, and cabbage and let simmer until cabbage is tender.

----

=Chile Colorado=
==Ingredients==
* 10 oz. bag of dried chiles (remove stems/seeds)
* 5 cups water
* 5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast (trim off fat)
* 1 1/2 cup flour
* 2 tablespoons salt
* 2 tablespoons pepper
* 6 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 large yellow onions
* 6 cups beef stock

==Directions==
* Remove stems and seeds from chiles. To add a bit of spice, leave some seeds. The more seeds to spicier it will be.
* Place chiles and 6 cups water into a medium stockpot and boil. Remove from heat and let it sit for 30 minutes to soften. Place the chiles and some of the liquid into a blender, and puree until smooth. Add more liquid as needed to form a smooth sauce.
* Strain left over liquid to remove any seeds and put back into stockpot.
* Cut the roast into 1 inch chunks. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Bread the beef chunks with the seasoned flour.
* Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Chop onion and sauté until tender/translucent. Add beef chunks, but don't add all the meat at once. Only a few pieces at a time and remove when brown.
* Once all the meat is browned, add the meat into the stockpot. Stir in the puréed chile and beef stock as well.
* Bring stockpot to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer for 3 hours.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Plex Media Server ==
* The following will install the Debian-ized version of the Ubuntu package for Plex. Resource: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/51427-plex-media-server-for-debian/
echo "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
aptitude install curl
curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | apt-key add -
aptitude update
aptitude install plexmediaserver
* Browser to http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html to finish configuration.

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
cd cgi-bin

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:

down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf

user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20

*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:

*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
<strike>
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
</strike>
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users

echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
aptitude install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www

echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.10-84104~Debian~squeeze_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libpng12-0 libpython2.6 libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libsdl1.2debian libxcursor1 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxt6

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
cd cgi-bin
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Added my el cheapo movie script

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20

*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* Modified thttpd config

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:

*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
aptitude install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

=== /sbin/flc/setip.sh ===

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
cd cgi-bin
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Added my el cheapo movie script

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.7 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf

user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 6.0.07 / Squeeze and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:

** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: MKNSSDCL120GB-DX (Serial # MKN1247A0000148853) hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: ST2000DL003 (Serial # 5YD3452G) hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem. Top PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.
* Died with no warning!<strike>Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.</strike>
* OS Drive: XXXXXXXXXXX hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* DATA Drive: XXXXXXXXXXX hard drive was placed in the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
cd cgi-bin
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Added my el cheapo movie script

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server

echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register

VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* Modified thttpd config

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

=== /sbin/flc/setip.sh ===

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
cd cgi-bin
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Added my el cheapo movie script

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
cd cgi-bin
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Added my el cheapo movie script

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>

== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:

</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
dmesg | grep "irq = `lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}'`"
lspci | grep Communication | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -i lspci -v -s {} | grep IRQ | awk -FIRQ\ '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 -i grep {} /proc/tty/driver/serial
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register

VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server

* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
lspci -v
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local

chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www

echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
aptitude install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
apt-get install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
lspci -v
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www
rm -r users

echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>
run a speed test

test with:
wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>

commands:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: wondershaper clear eth0
info: wondershaper eth0
modified:
set: wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
clear: ??
info: wondershaper eth0 status

vim /etx/network/interfaces
* Add:
up /usr/sbin/wondershaper eth0 <down> <up>
down /usr/sbin/wondershaper clear eth0
</pre>
</strike>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
apt-get install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
apt-get install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
lspci -v
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

== Movie Script ==
This is used for Al to easily move movies he's seen to the old folder.

* Install tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP server
apt-get install thttpd
* Remove the users directory as it's not needed
cd /var/www

* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings
echo I see you\! > index.htm
* Create the cgi-bin directory
mkdir cgi-bin
* Create a dummy index.htm to avoid directory listings

* Modified thttpd config
vim /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf
* I changed following options:
#FLC#choot
nochoot
#FLC#user=www-data
user=ohayden
* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:
wget http://www.ruwenzori.net/code/wondershaper/wondershaper.jml
* TODO -- Sort through these Notes:
<pre>

== Misc Info ==
* Rear serial port:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
* PCI Modem:
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xe800, IRQ: 20
* In sensors:
** Fan 1 = CPU fan
** Fan 3 = Rear case fan
* Temperature:
** Sides off:
*** Idle M/B Temp: 30 to 35
*** Idle CPU Temp: 32 to 39
*** Idle H/D Temp: 36 to 37
** Enclosed:
*** Idle M/B Temp: up to 37
*** Idle CPU Temp: up to 40
*** Idle H/D Temp: up to 39
* Power Usage:
** Boot: 60 to 95 watts
** Idle: 52 to 62 watts

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

|}

== Hardware Configuration ==
* I removed the 3.5" bay as it was bulky and blocked air flow. It was replaced with simple 3.5" to 5.25" bay adapters.
* Both PCI slots are filled. Bottom PCI slot is the D-Link DEF-500TX NIC. Top PCI slot is the Actiontec PM560LKI modem.
* Top fan was unplugged as it was determined to not help cooling as power supply cables were blocking airflow. It added 3 watts as measured by the kill-a-watt.
* LG GH22NP20 DVD burner was placed on the top drive bay.
* Seagate ST31500341AS hard drive was placed in the 3rd from the bottom bay with the 3.5" to 5.25" adapters.
* Memory was placed in the first two slots leaving two open slots.
* The smart fan from the 3.5" bay that I removed was reclaimed and swapped for the rear fan. With this swap, I can now see the fan's RPMs.
* All cables were tied off and tested to ensure they won't touch and fans or heat sinks.

== BIOS Configuration ==
* BIOS was upgraded to version 1602 build date 3/27/09, and I tweaked the following settings in the BIOS:
Main->Legacy Diskette A: Disabled
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->Primary Video Controller: IGFX-GFX0-GPP-PCI
Advanced->Chipset->Internal Graphics->UMA Fram Buffer Size: 64MB
Power->APM Configuration->Restore on AC Power Loss: Always On
Boot->Boot Device Priority->1st Boot Device: SATA
Boot->Boot Device Priority->2nd Boot Device: CDROM
Boot->Boot Device Priority->3rd Boot Device: Disabled
Boot->Boot Settings Configuration->Full Screen Logo: Disabled
Tools->Express Gate: Disabled

'''*NOTE*''' DO NOT DISABLE THE "Memory Hole Remapping" AS YOU WILL LOSE 1GB OF RAM 
'''*NOTE*''' IGFX = Internal Graphics (aka on board), GFX0 = PCIEx16, GPP = PCIEx1, PCI = PCI 

== Boot Up Errors ==

* I installed AMD64 Debian 5.0 / Lenny and I deselected the "desktop" packages as I want to run headless.

=== Error 1 ===

* I was seeing the following error at boot up:
Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
This costs you 64 MB of RAM

* To fix the above message, I added "iommu=noagp,noaperture" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt some research] and a bunch of googling, it appears this issue is somewhat related to the fact that I don't have an AGP card. Either way, the two values for the iommu kernel parameter mean the following:
noagp = Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
noaperture = Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.

=== Error 2 ===

* I was also seeing the following error at boot up:
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

* To fix the above message, I added "pci=nommconf" to the kernel line. Based on [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt some research] I understand that the "pci=nommconf" parameter tells the kernel to ignore mmconfig when identifying PCI devices, thus it will use other methods to identify PCI devices such as the BIOS or direct querying. With that said, I checked the all the pci devices with "lspci -v" and they all appear to be detected properly with the "pci-nommconf" parameter.

=== Error 1 & 2 Solution ===

* Tweaks to fix the above boot errors is as follows:
vim /etc/default/grub
<pre>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=noagp,noaperture pci=nommconf"
</pre>
update-grub

=== Error 3 ===

* I then saw the following error:
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

=== Error 3 Solution ===

* To fix the above error, I blacklisted snd-pcsp to avoid the conflict during boot, as such:
vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
<pre>
#FLC# Getting rid of error at boot about 'pcspkr'
blacklist snd-pcsp
</pre>

== Initial Configuration ==

* I installed the following packages:
apt-get install htop rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== Configuring dial-in server / mgetty / ppp ==
=== Server Settings ===
* I installed the following packages:
apt-get install mgetty ppp

* Querying modem info:
lspci -v
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
* I determined the modem was on /dev/ttyS1, so I modified initab and uncommented the last line and changed it to ttyS1
vim /etc/inittab
<pre>
T3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS1
</pre>
* Added nasty gram in issue.mgetty
vim /etc/issue.mgetty
<pre>
-------------------------
Private server, stay out!
-------------------------
</pre>
* Configured PPP, I changed the /AutoPPP/ line as shown below:
vim /etc/mgetty/login.config
<pre>
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap 192.168.0.3:192.168.0.4 login auth debug proxyarp
</pre>
'''*NOTE*''' The first IP is the servers (different from eth) and the second IP is the clients (dial-up) 
'''*NOTE*''' If I want, I can disable non PAP logins (aka terminals) by changing "/bin/login @" to "/bin/false" 
* Changed the default speed for mgetty
vim /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config
<pre>
speed 57600
</pre>

* Allowed ppp users
vim /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* Find the section called "Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd" and change to the following (replace username with actual username, left out here for obvious reaons):
<pre>
"username" * "" *
</pre>

* In order to get routing working, I needed to create the following files:
vim /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
vim /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
exit 0
</pre>
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
reboot

* At this point, I can either use a terminal program, such as minicom, to login or I can use ppp

=== Client Settings ===
'''*NOTE*''' This is *NOT* done on griffin. This is was performed on my lappie that I used as a client to connect to griffen. It's documented here for completeness. 
'''*NOTE*''' I tried gnome-ppp, but it didn't like my modem for some reason and I didn't care to mess with it at the time as I prefer command line utilities for ease of use via ssh 
* I tested with minicom for fun, then move on to setting up ppp, as such:
apt-get install ppp pppconfig
* Configure ppp connection
pppconfig
# Choose "Create Create a connection"
# Give it a name, I gave it flc
# Choose "Dynamic Use dynamic DNS"
# Choose "PAP Peer Authentication Protocol"
# Give it the username you defined while editing "pap-secrets" from up above
# Password of the usernames account
# I left the speed as the default of 115200
# I left the default value of "Tone"
# Enter the proper phone # of the dial-up server
# I selected, no and defined the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 as I was using my Belkin USB->Serial adapter to a USR Modem
# Select "Finished Write files and return to main menu."
# Select OK, then "Quit Exit the utility"

* Now everything was set to connect:
pon flc
* I tested ssh into the server's IP 192.168.0.103 and it worked, likewise I tried pinging a server on the network and it responded. I had to set my resolv.conf manually and once I did I was able to, slowly, browse the Internet.
* To disconnect, use:
poff flc
* For logging info, use:
plog

== Headless VirtualBox ==
* Get and installed virtual box (not ose as it currently doesn't support RDP for management, which I didn't see any other way to manage as I'm running completely headless)
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.2.0/virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg -i virtualbox-2.2_2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
* Virtual Box wanted some extra packages
apt-get install libqt4-network libqtcore4 libqtgui4 psmisc libtiff4

* Setting up the VM
VBoxManage list vms
VBoxManage createvm -name "WindowsXP" -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -memory "512MB" -acpi on -nic1 nat
VBoxManage createhd --filename /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi -size 10240 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -hda /share/vm/Windows\ XP\ VM.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /share/Windows.iso
VBoxHeadless -startvm "WindowsXP"

* Remove attached CD
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd none

* Port forwarding
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/Protocol" '''<PROTOCOL>'''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/HostPort" '''<LOCAL/HOST PORT> '''
VBoxManage setextradata "'''<VM NAME>'''" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/'''<DESCRIPTIVE NAME>'''/GuestPort" '''<VM/GUEST PORT> '''
'''Example: '''
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/HostPort" 13389
VBoxManage setextradata "WindowsXP" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/RDP/GuestPort" 3389

=== Windows Guests ===
* You need to install the guest additions, mount as such: (then in the guest, go to the dvd and install)
VBoxManage modifyvm "WindowsXP" -dvd /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

== Samba ==
* I installed samba to share some miscellaneous files.
apt-get install samba
mkdir /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
chown -R <my_user_account>:<my_group> /share
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
* I changed following options:
<pre>
workgroup = asgard
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
</pre>
* I added following options:
<pre>
security = user
guest account = <my_user_account>
</pre>
* Add a samba user
'''UPDATE''' I changed the "security = user" from above to "security = share" to get Windows to properly mount and then I needed to add a samba user as such:
<pre>
smbpasswd -a ohayden
</pre>
* I then added the following share:
<pre>
[share]
path = /share/<some_dir_here_I_aint_tellin>
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes
directory mask = 0775
</pre>

== Power Backup ==
* I install the apcupsd package and configured it to call the email_power.sh script below to keep me informed of power outages. Don't forget to have apcupsd load at init.

== Final Touch Ups ==
* Since this server is going to be 1725+ miles away, I figured it would be best if I ran a burn in test with memtest86+. Why memtest86+ over memtest86? According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86 wikipedia], the latest version of memtest86 has issues with computer having 4GB of RAM. From wikipedia: "''The 3.5 version is known to fail on some (or many, or most) computers with 4 gb of installed memory (the failure results in a spontaneous system reboot soon after the program starts running). The MemTest86+ 2.11 version does not exhibit this behavior.''"
apt-get install memtest86+
cat /usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples/grub-menu.lst >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
* Clean up the memtest86+ entry
vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
* I ran memtest86+ for 32.5 hours and it had 19 passes all with success. Initial watt usage is about 90 watts.
* Installed a few more utilities for monitoring and power saving
apt-get install lm-sensors hddtemp hdparm powertop ethtool
* Installed even more utilities
apt-get install screen iputils-arping bwm-ng iftop
* Added the following to /etc/crontab
*/5 * * * * root /sbin/flc/setip.sh
0 0 * * * root /sbin/flc/setdatetime.sh > /dev/null
0 2 * * 1 root /share/backups/backup.sh

* I restarted thttpd to have the new settings take affect
/etc/init.d/thttpd restart

'''NOTE:''' Setting nochoot and changing to user to my account is a major security risk. However, this is minimized as it's only served on the local lan and is closely monitored. Please DO NOT do the above if you provided wan access, otherwise you're begging to get hacked deservedly so.

== QoS ==
This was removed as I decided to use siren (Linksys WRTSL54GS) as the QoS manager to keep it identical to my California setup.
<strike>
* Install QoS scripts to shape traffic for VOIP
apt-get install wondershaper
* Another version of wondershaper:

== Reclaiming Disk Space ==
Reserved blocks is defaulted to 5% on ext3, which is a bit high for newer drives nowadays. I pushed mine back to 1% to reclaim a bit of space with the following command
<pre>
tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1
</pre>
== Power Saving ==
* Ran sensors-detect for lm-sensors
* Ran pwmconfig for fancontrol, but it seems to cause the fan to stay at full blast so I deleted the /etc/fancontrol configuration file. I suspect it's conflicting with the BIOS as it appears to want to control the fan. I did figure out that playing with /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1 would slow down or speed up the fan by echoing 1 to 255 respectively.

<pre>
# Enabled for the HDA controller; power down after 10 seconds:
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
# Power down hard drive after 5 minutes:
hdparm -S 60 /dev/sda
# Up kernel caching to 15 seconds:
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
# Enable laptop mode:
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
# Enable SATA ALPM link power management:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
# Enable noatime on filesystem:
mount -o remount,noatime /
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' After testing with a kill-a-watt for a week, the power savings was negligible so I opted not to implement them for now. The only thing I ended up doing was leave one case fan off.

When the devices buttons are blinking on a harmony 200 or harmony 300 it means that the remote is on safe mode. To fix, remove the batteries on the remote for a few seconds and then press and hold number 2 buton while inserting the batteries. If that doesn't resolve the problem then try to "sync" the remote from the myharmony.com site.

Linux Printing

2012-12-14T18:13:38Z

Ohayden:

This is what I'm doing at work to print to the network printers. I'm using CUPS and here's the steps I took:

* Install CUPS
apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client cupsys−bsd
* Install Foomatic and HP drivers (foomatics is a database driven system to support printers hosted by linuxprinting.org and works with CUPS)
apt-get install foomatic-bin foomatic-filters foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-hpijs hplip
* Install postscript filters
apt-get install ghostscript a2ps
* Using a HTML viewer, navigate to the following link (you can also use Applications->System Tools->Printers, but I prefer the browser method)
http://localhost:631
* Click Add Printer
* Give it a name, location, and description (name and location seems to appear is most applications when printing)
* My device (printer) was found so I was able to choose it directly (I chose Dell Laser Printer 1710n.......)
** You may need to chose AppSocket/HP JetDirect and manually tell it where the printer is addressed
* Chose a model / driver
* That's it.... go test!

'''NOTE:''' I see some guides claim I would need the package called "gtklp" to print from Thunderbird or Iceweasel, but this wasn't the case for me so I didn't install it.

'''NOTE:''' Generic and other PPD drivers are here: /usr/share/ppd/

</pre>

== Initial Install ==

* Download the custom install from here: http://eeepc.debian.net/debian/images/debian-eeepc.img
* Find SD card that is 16 megs or bigger and copy the image to the SD card as such:
<pre>
dd if=debian-eeepc.img of=/dev/<SD DEVICE>
sync
</pre>
'''NOTE:''' Make sure the SD card is NOT mounted, also make sure you use the device itself and NOT a partition (/dev/sda NOT /dev/sda1).
* Make sure the BIOS is set to boot from the removable media, which is the default on my 901.
* Insert the SD card with the Debian install image and power up the eee.
* You have to use a LAN connection as the WiFi doesn't, currently, work during the installer for the RT2860sta chipset, which is what my 901 uses. Don't worry, we can get it working after the install though.
* For the partition, I did the following:
** sda (4 GB):
*** sda1: 4013.95 MB, mounted to /, format, ext2, label:SYSTEM
*** sda2: 8.23 MB, do not use, fat32, Label: BIOS
*** sda3: 8.23 MB, do not use, fat32
** sdb (16 GB):
*** sdb1: 16.1 GB, mounted to /home/, format, ext2, label:HOME
'''NOTE:''' I chose to use ext2 on both the OS and my home directory as this is a SSD (Solid State Drive) and the system is not the fastest in the world. Ext2 will be faster and not require as much writes, etc.
* Other than the partition and using a LAN, the rest of it is a normal Debian install.
* Once the base system is installed, login and install the wireless-tools package as such:
<pre>
su
apt-get install wireless-tools
</pre>
* Modify the interfaces file to enable wifi as such:
<pre>
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# The wireless network interface
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
</pre>

== SSH / Rsync ==
* I installed the following packages:
apt-get install rsync ssh

* Configured sshd to deny remote root login
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
* Find and change "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no", as such:
PermitRootLogin no

== VNC / Remote Control ==

Turned on vino / remote control - This allows for a connect when a session logged in (aka shadowing)

# Select Desktop->Preference->Remote Desktop
# Check "Allow other users to view your desktop"
# Check "Allow other users to control your desktop"
# Uncheck "Ask you for confirmation"
# Check "Require the user to enter this password:"

== Web Cam ==
* To get the webcam working install the following:
apt-get install luvcview mplayer

== Optimizations ==
* Add noatime to primary partition and set tmp to use tmpfs:
vim /etc/fstab
Change:
/dev/sda1 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1
To:
/dev/sda1 / ext2 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Add:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
* sdb1 should already have noatime on it, if not then add it.

* Set /var/run and /var/lock to use tmpfs:
vim /etc/default/rcS

Change:
RAMRUN=no
RAMLOCK=no
To:
RAMRUN=yes
RAMLOCK=yes

== Tips and Tricks ==
To get battery info and state:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
acpi

== Useful Packages ==
I needed the following packages for various reasons:

* RDP Client and a GUI front end to connect to work:
apt-get install rdesktop tsclient
* VNC Client for remote connections:
apt-get install xvnc4viewer
* A pretty command line process viewer:
apt-get install htop
* Great tool to detect power drains and to measure current power usage:
apt-get install powertop
* A messenger client to keep in touch with coworkers:
apt-get install amsn
* A Gnome applet to allow you to see if the CAPS is on or not via a icon in the panel:
apt-get install lock-keys-applet
* Spell checker for Evolution
apt-get install aspell-en

== Adobe Flash ==
I try to keep a clean system, but I draw the line at lost functionality and, sadly, swf doesn't handle everything. Flash is, unfortunately, required for certain websites I visit. Here's how I installed it:
* Close all opened browsers before the following steps:
<pre>
cd /tmp
wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
tar zxvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
</pre>
Open your browser and test with youtube.com and hulu.com.

== Gnome Changes ==
Optimizations for the EEE screen size / layout
# Select System->Preferences->Appearance
# On the Theme tab, select Clearlooks
# On the Background tab, select the solid color background
## Change the color to RGB of 75,150,255
# On the Fonts tab, change the fonts to:
## Application font: Sans 7
## Document font: Sans 8
## Desktop font: Sans 8
## Window title font: Sans Bold 8
## Fixed width font: Monospace 7
# On the Interface tab, ensure "Show icons in menus" is selected
## Change "Toolbar button labels" to "Icons only"

Panel changes:
# Select Applications->System Tools->Configuration Editor
# Change the following settings:

## /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/enable_animations = <Unchecked>
## /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/unhide_delay = 0

== On Screen Display ==

The function keys (wifi, dim, vol, etc) don't provide any instant feedback, I like using osd to provide the feedback and apparently someone else likes osd as well since all the scripts are configured to use it. To enable osd do the following: 
Install:
apt-get install gnome-osd
Configure:
vim /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts
Change:
ENABLE_OSD='no'
To:
ENABLE_OSD='yes'
Change:
ENABLE_OSD_BRIGHTNESS='no'
To:
ENABLE_OSD_BRIGHTNESS='yes'

== Mounting a Remote Network Drive ==
In order to provide extra space to the eee, I opted to use sshfs to my NAS and remote servers. Here's how I did it: 
Install:
apt-get install sshfs
Mount:
mkdir /media/derro
sshfs -o allow_other ohayden@derro: /media/derro/
Unmount:
fusermount -u /media/derro

== Macro for OpenOffice.org Calc ==
I copy / paste a lot of text from my online banking account details into my tracking spreadsheet and I wrote the following macro to help format the text as I like it (without the formatting, colors, and extra tabs).
<pre>
Sub PasteUnformattedText
Dim systemClipboard : systemClipboard = createUnoService("com.sun.star.datatransfer.clipboard.SystemClipboard")
Dim converter : converter = createUnoService("com.sun.star.script.Converter")
Dim clipboardContents : clipboardContents = systemClipboard.getContents()
Dim transferDataFlavors : transferDataFlavors = clipboardContents.getTransferDataFlavors()
Dim flavorIndex% : flavorIndex = -1
Dim convertedString$
Dim x%

' Check for the text/plain flavor
For x = LBound(transferDataFlavors) To UBound(transferDataFlavors)
If transferDataFlavors(x).MimeType = "text/plain;charset=utf-16" Then
flavorIndex = x
Exit For
End If
Next
' If we found the flavor we want, then...
If (flavorIndex >= 0) Then
Dim lines
Dim pasteText
Dim document
Dim dispatcher
Dim args(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
' Grab the clipboard data
convertedString = converter.convertToSimpleType(clipboardContents.getTransferData(transferDataFlavors(flavorIndex)), com.sun.star.uno.TypeClass.STRING)
' Split the clipboard data into an array base on tabs
lines = Split(convertedString, Chr(9))
' Convert tabs to spaces
pasteText = ""
For x = LBound (lines) to UBound (lines)
pasteText = pasteText + " " + lines(x)
Next
pasteText = Trim(pasteText)
' Get the current spreadsheet document
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
' Use the dispatch helper to paste the text to the spreadsheet
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
args(0).Name = "StringName"
args(0).Value = pasteText
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:EnterString", "", 0, args())
End If
End Sub
</pre>

== Squeeze ==
* To get the NetworkManager to work I needed the following (also remove any reference in /etc/network/interfaces for the wireless card, which should be wlan0):
aptitude install firmware-ralink wireless-tools network-manager-gnome
