Networking

The Splat Space firewall is a NetScreen 5GT WLAN running ScreenOS 5.4r12 - the config as of 5/10/2011 is uploaded to this file: Media:20110510-5gt-config.doc Manuals for the ScreenOS 5.4 can be found on the Juniper website. The most useful is the Concepts & Examples Guide, which is a 25MB PDF.

If you change the firewall config, please upload a new copy of the config - with a new name! - so this page is up to date.

Many Splatters know the administrative userid and password - please check with Lisa, Mike, Justis, or Lenore if you need it.

Raspberry Pi Virtual PC

Description and Charter

• System "splatpi" is a 1/4gb (rev 1) model B Raspberry Pi with hostname "splatpi". It is running latest (mid-December, 2012) Raspbian (aka Debian 7 aka wheezy) with patches current as of the end of January 2013. Its /boot filesystem is on an SD card as usual, but all other filesystems are on a 3 1/2" disk drive.
• This system is freely available with no restrictions on use except:
  • Do not disturb the hardware or the /boot filesystem
  • Be careful with superuser commands. If you aren't comfortable modifying the system, ask for help.

Access

• Example GUI access (renders a 1024x768 desktop):
  • vncviewer 192.168.2.61
• Example text interface login (password "raspberry"):
  • ssh -l pi 192.168.2.61

Admin Todo List

The current admin (pete@soper.us) or somebody else experienced with Linux and in tune with the vibes should consider this list:

• Properly configure router access so another connection isn't "stolen"
• Add "ipv6" as a line in /etc/modules
• Set up bonjour (or a local DNS server) so the name "splatpi" can be used instead of the IP address
• A scheme for answering the question "Who's using the VNC session?"
• Nicer and maybe randomly variable desktop background graphics

User Project Todo List

• Graphics files for 1024x768 desktop backgrounds
• Scratch, Python, other program examples
• Games
