[luau] Mililani and St. John Status

**St. John the Baptist School**

The print server is configured but we are having problems getting the
client to print to the server. We will probably have to go back down to
the school sometime and try again.

Mililani High School
====================
Friday Dusty, Rick Chavez and I went into Mililani again while Ray 
Strode worked at home via SSH.  Ray also prepared St. John's K12LTSP 
server for Saturday's installation.  Dusty installed much GNU software 
while I banged my head on Sun Ray Server Software 1.3 for about 12 hours

total (since Thursday afternoon).  Configuration of Sun Ray Server 
Software 1.3 required Java 1.1 which wasn't installed in Solaris 9.  I 
tried various versions of Java 1.1 JRE with no results.

The utadm and utconfig setup scripts are ugly shell scripts that call 
Java in various places to do various tasks.  This is one example of 
where "eating your own dogfood" was definitely not a good idea for Sun. 
  Anyway, around 4pm I finally figured out that Java 1.1 JDK was needed 
instead of the JRE.  With that installed all Sun Ray thin clients came 
up within minutes.

Dusty had to leave soon after, but me and Rick proceeded to configure 
the desktop software.  Installed StarOffice 6 update 2 and Rick created 
a script that automatically copies a StarOffice profile to all users as 
they login so they don't need to use the needlessly complicated 
"Workstation Install".

More desktop software tweaks and disk mirroring needs to be done, but 
the lab should be usable enough for students for now.

St. John the Baptist School
===========================
Saturday Ray Strode, Wilson Chan, Aaron (sorry forgot last name) and I 
went to St. John to complete their LTSP lab.  Ray Strode brought the 
server that he had installed the day before.  Getting the clients up was

fairly quick, most of the time was used between me and Ray in 
configuring the default desktop profiles for Mozilla and StarOffice.  We

still need to figure out how to make default profiles for Gnome Panel.

When we left Wilson Chan was having difficulty configuring the network 
print server.  I'm not sure what the status of this is now.


I personally am going into Mililani again Monday morning in order to do 
some final cleanups on their setup.  Mid-Pac's LTSP lab still needs some

  fixup work too.
