Dear All, Looks like my biometrics group will need to take full control of the ruby server. Hence, I decided to do the following: I created two virtual nodes: emerald1.ecs.fullerton.edu ruby1.ecs.fullerton.edu The user name is fsw The password is the same as the original one: #nhv669h# (with full root privilages!) Could we move everything from emerald and ruby to emerald1 and ruby1? You have full control of these nodes, so installing and configuring stuff will be trivial. They both run Ubuntu server 12.04. Ssh server was already installed and tested. I think that this will also make the delivery easier -- just hand over the VMs to fsw. Hope this helps. Thanks, -Mikhail
