Fall 2011 – 08052011
See http://oit.ncsu.edu/macintosh/views/labkit-all for information on software in previous kits.
MAJOR CHANGES:
1) **Moved to Casper Installation Methods** OIT is now using the Casper Suite 8.2 to deploy all Unity Lab Machines by installing software instead of imaging it on with ASR. As such there is no image to download. This sofware set and Casper workflows are not machine specifice and should work on all current Intel Apple hardware that can boot to 10.6.8 v1.1.
2) Tokens to use OpenAFS are no longer acquired at login. Instead the MyAFS.app is provided and will prompt uses for Unity ID and password to at Ticket Granting Tickets, Service Granting Tickets and Tokes for using NC State AFS Cells (unity, eos, bp). It is critical that the edu.mit.kerbeos file in /Library/Preferences be correct in step 1) above for this to function.
3) The printers will need to be set to require name an password in their options. Use the following command:
sudo lpadmin -p -o auth-info-required=username,password
See the http://oit.ncsu.edu/macintosh/cups-setup-wolfcopy-mac-os-x-105+ for more details.
OIT is providing a Universal Lab Software only for Intel (i386) based Macintosh hardware supporting 32 bit and 64 bit machines where possible.
OIT Unity Macintosh Lab kits create local home directories (ie /Users/)for each user that logs in on each machine. Use the MyAFS link to save files to traditional Unity AFS file space. This means that user preferences and Library files will not follow the users from one machine to the next.

Known Issues:
1) Mac OS X 10.6.x will not run on PPC hardware. All kits support only Apple, Intel based hardware!
2) When printing a Unity ID and password will be required each time a print request is made to a WolfCopy printer. Printing now uses the Apple supported CUPS mechanisms instead of LPRNG used in the past. Have a look at:
http://oit.ncsu.edu/macintosh/cups-setup-wolfcopy-mac-os-x-105 to see how to setup printers.
