OS software installation

In FreeBSD, the binary package manager is pkg. We will be using it since we need a convenient way to test if the installed OS is up-to-date.

The following packages will need to be installed:

• pkg (it has to install itself...)
• logrotate
• git
• clamav
• bash

Setup

First, tell BSD where to find the bash interpreter:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash

Run the install.sh script from this directory to install the MCSS software:

If the computer the software is being installed on is a server, pass the -s flag at the end.

sudo ./install.sh [-s]

This installs in /root/mcss. The MCSS software can be removed with:

sudo /root/mcss/uninstall.sh

Keep in mind the MCSS software is required in order to remain connected to the CSE network. Report any errors to CSE computing staff.

Assumptions

• We assume that pf will be used as the firewall.
• We assume local authentication
• We assume the SSH daemon is already set up and running.

Any divergence from these assumptions will have to be OK'd by the dept who is currently running the network.
