    8. Important files are /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf, /etc/ntp.conf, /etc/krb.conf, /home/httpd/lonTabs/spare.tab, /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab (if setting up a cluster different -than MSU's) -

        You can do this by these 5 steps:
+1. enter the system command, as "root", pwunconv
+2. enter the system command, as "root", grpunconv
+3. Set the following to be the /etc/pam.d/login file on your system
+#%PAM-1.0
+auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
+auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok

+password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
+password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok nullok
+5. Set/reset passwords.  As "root" use 'passwd', and 'passwd www'
+to change the important passwords.  This creates crypt-processible
+passwords in /etc/passwd.

      +
    11. Run, as root, ln -s /etc/mime.types /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types +

    13. Run, as root, /etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol start.
    14. After 10 minutes, you should be able to check the file /home/httpd/html/lon-status/index.html to see if your machine has been successfully set up.
