Going to a file instead of the DB (too much hassle). This needs more
work as I am still unclear as to how timelines, sequences, etc fit
into the event stream.

The file is placed in the archive and committed with each Run and Swapout.

At present, only template derived experiments do this ...

   int
   dbinit_withparams(char *host, char *user, char *passwd, char *dbname)

This library could thus be installed on the experimental nodes to
provide easier support for contacting ops mysql.

Most notable: a new group called "audit" has gid 77 which is what we
used for "sfs".  I have moved "sfs" uid and gid to 171 which is what the
sfs port uses.

Mike is installing the mysql perl bindings, we can also drop this
library on the nodes.

collab_password). I'm using this from the event scheduler so it can
access the per-experiment DB to store the event trace.

I suppose it would have been easier to stick them in a file?

in the event system, and thus we are moving to UDP communication.
This is the last checkin before switching to UDP.

and saved in the archive at run boundries and when the instance is
terminated. No idea yet how this will be used.

places. I refactored the "busy" logo stuff that is done in various
scripts in various formats into a couple of functions. I have not
changed all the code that does the busy thing, but I got a bunch this
time around. In menu.php I added a couple of functions (that spit out
little bits of javascript).

	STARTBUSY($msg)

	Display a centered message (ie: "Starting Swapout"), then a
	plead to be patient, and then the "busy" icon (spinning thing
	that my Mac does too).


	STOPBUSY();

	Clear the busy icon, and replace "Working ..." with "Done"


	CLEARBUSY();

	Clear the busy icon and delete "Working ..."


	PAGEREPLACE($url)

	Delay one second and then replace the current page with the
	new page.

the usual message to tblogs when a template is created.

does this flag do? It says to create a per-experiment DB on ops when
the experiment is swapped in.

Rather then "auditing" (sending to testbed-audit) send to testbed-logs.

* Prefix the svn importer script with a 'ulimit -c -' to avoid core
  dump file from some internal SVN thing, that appears to be
  harmeless.

* Use rsync instead of tar to archive the archives; it appears to be
  smarter about setgid directories.

entries, but sheesh, they were screwed up! Hopefully fixed now.

present the per-experiment stuff is not hooked in, but will be for
templates later. Anyway, each user gets a mysql account on ops, with
password set to the same as their mailman password (which is also
their jabber password, etc). Each project gets a DB named by the
project, and each group gets a DB named by pid,gid. Users are placed
on the access lists for the DBs as you would expect.

There is a little bit of complexity to make sure that we can create
DBs on ops outside the Emulab path and grant access to them, without
Emulab getting confused or mucking things up.

I'll get a news item done ...
