software needed for CDF computing at CNAF

• Linux Red Hat (6.x or 7.x both fine as of Jan 2002)
• AFS not necessary, but welcome
  • not used on farm nodes
  • very usefull on interactive nodes, maybe also on gateway
• batch system
  • will/could start with Fermilab FBSNG, could switch to any "Grid-compliant" one
  • farm I/O software will be copied/adapted from Fermilab
• all CDF software installed on "code server" node, needs one dedicated user (named "cdfsoft"), no root privileges, very short path: /home/cdfsoft.
• all nodes used for CDF must be in FNAL.GOV kerberos realm, or in a realm that cross-authenticates to it (unless/until K5/Globus cross authentication works for CDF)
• farm nodes do no not need to talk to outside works, but leaving that as option will help debug
• scratch area cleanup daemon for interactive disks
  • possibly use the same on batch worker nodes
  • import from Fermilab ?
• disk quota on interactive disks
