NetBSD, XFCE

Note: An update is posted here for NetBSD 6.1.5: http://slice2.com/2015/01/03/howto-install-the-xfce-4-desktop-on-netbsd-6-1-5/

For a lightweight functional desktop, install XFCE 4. As root perform the steps below. This HOWTO covers 32 and 64 bit x86 hardware. Since NetBSD essentially runs on everything, simply adjust the repository path to your architecture from the list here: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/

1) Setup your binary repository.
> mkdir -p /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin
> touch /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
> vi /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf and add your binary path:

For x64
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1.2/All/

For x32
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.1.2/All/

2) Add the NetBSD ftp server to your host file. This is for convenience and can be removed when done.
> vi /etc/hosts and add:
199.233.217.249 ftp.netbsd.org
> wq!

3) Export your path.
Note: I don’t know why the characters keep appearing after /ALL/ in the path statements below. It must be a WordPress bug and I’m not a developer. Just make sure that the end of the path statement ends with /6.1.2/ALL/” with no trailing characters. In other words, it should look like the paths depicted in step 1 above only it must end in a ” character.

For x64:
> export PKG_PATH=”http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1.2/All/”

For x32:
> export PKG_PATH=”http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.1.2/All/”

4) Install pkgin on your system.
> pkg_add -v pkgin-*
proceed ? [Y/n] Y

5) Update the pkgin database and install XFCE.
> pkgin update
Database needs to be updated.
proceed ? [Y/n] Y

> pkgin install xfce4
calculating dependencies… done.

proceed ? [Y/n] Y

6) Configure the system to run XFCE.
> cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/famd /etc/rc.d/
> cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/dbus /etc/rc.d/
> cp /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/hal /etc/rc.d/
> echo rpcbind=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
> echo famd=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
> echo dbus=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
> echo hal=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
> /etc/rc.d/rpcbind start
> /etc/rc.d/famd onestart
> /etc/rc.d/dbus start
> /etc/rc.d/hal start

7) Configure X and start the desktop.
> echo xfce4-session >> /root/.xinitrc
> startx   (note: be patient, it may take a minute to load)

xfce-01

8) Close XFCE to prepare for installation of software.
a) Click on the mouse icon in the lower left corner of the desktop and click Log Out.

xfce-02

b) Click Log Out to exit XFCE.

xfce-03

9) Install apps as desired. This step is optional but I’m sure you want at least a current browser. Enter Y when asked proceed ? [Y/n] for each app.
Browsers and plugins:
> pkgin install firefox
> pkgin install opera
> pkgin install icedtea-web
> pkgin install xpdf
Security tools:
> pkgin install wireshark
> pkgin install nmap
> pkgin install iftop
GUI ftp/scp client:
> pkgin install filezilla
Office Suite:
> pkgin install libreoffice*

Notes:
To launch firefox, enter the firefox command in an xterm.
To launch liberoffice, enter the soffice command in an xterm.
The list of all apps for NetBSD v6.1.2 are listed here:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1.2/All/

9) Now that your apps are installed, start your desktop.
> startx

HOWTO Generate a new SID on Windows 2008

Security, Windows

Despite what Microsoft has stated you need to generate a new SID when using Windows 2008 images. On Windows 2008, you can use the native sysprep.exe utility. Note that running sysprep.exe will reset your hostname, IP and local Administrator password. When done generating a new SID you have to change your hostname, password and set your IP. If you want to see the before and after SID, download the PStools package at the URL below and run psgetsid.exe before you sysprep and then after.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649

 

1) Open Windows explorer and browse to C:\Windows\System32\sysprep and double-click sysprep.exe.

2) Make sure the Generalize option is checked under System Cleanup Action and click OK.

3) When the system reboots it automatically prepares it for first use.

4) On the Windows Setup screen, select your county, language and click Next.

5) Accept the license and click Start.

6) Click OK to set the local Administrator password.

7) Enter a password and click the blue arrow to complete the setup. The system will log you in. Make sure you change your hostname and IP before you join the domain. Also, if the old server object is still in AD, delete it before joining the domain.
