This tool is designed to automate the modification of various 
system files and ease in propgating updates of the OS/drivers
as well as scripts and XM executibles.  Everything done by this
tool can be done by hand, but care was taken to ensure that
its use will make the process much simpler.

For maximum simplicity, leave Manage Names and Delete Directories
checked in the menu.  This lets the program deal with having
a consistant naming and numbering scheme, but forces the user
to adhere to our IP addresses and names.  It is possible to
come up with your own scheme that will integrate into a current
network instead of a private network, but only knowlegable
users should attempt this.  See eps_help_clusters.txt for more
details on IP addresses and naming.


The following system files are modified on the Linux server 
(this machine.)

/etc/dhcpd.conf - controls which machines (mac address) are
                  allocated specific IP addresses, and also
                  the kernel file image name

/etc/exports    - specifies which directories get exported
                  by the nfs server. eg.  /tftboot/EPS1

/etc/rc.nbd-server - an EPS script that will start up an nbd
                     server to handle swap space for the sbc
                     clients, one port per client. See
                     eps_help_clusters.txt

/etc/rc3.d/S95nbd-server - a softlink to the script
                           /etc/rc.nbd-server

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?  - the configuration file
                                             that sets the IP address
                                             and subnet.
