- Added 'Country' to users table
- Changed "Zip" to "ZIP/Postal Code"
- Reformatted Postal Address Forms

won't be deterred from inviting people to join.

reserved table. Whenever you insert a reservation or change a reservation
to a new expt, set vname=node_id.

of them! The start of an assign cleanup project.

whatever assign_wrapper did. This is different than local nodes where
we allocate the underlying phys node and set its osid. Confusing.

wrong, which may be why lynx was confused.

our last mail, don't show the red dot link to send another mail. Also,
show the red dot for unswappable expts too.

Yeah, it sounds right to me, too.

wrap. Also spellchecked while I was in there.

Added site variables ('sitevars').
These are stored in the sitevariables database table.
Each one has a name, a description (NOT OPTIONAL!), a
default value, and a current value.
If the current value is NULL, the default value is used.

Soon, a mechanism will be added to the install process to
ensure all needed site variables exist before installing;
more on that when it is committed.

 - Added 'editsitevars.php3' page, accessable to admins
   via the 'Edit Site Variables' menu option.

 - Added 'setsitevar' script,
   an interface for listing, viewing in detail, and setting
   site variables.

 - Web interface now uses 'web/nologins' and 'web/message'
   instead of one-off database tables.

NOTE that setting a variable to the default value and
setting a variable to a value which is string-identical
are NOT the same thing.
(This doesn't matter yet, but when we push default values out to
 remote sites as part of our install, it will.)

soon be used by admins only to grant swappability. For now, it is open to
anyone who has expt modify access as well.

The change is visible everywhere SHOWEXP is called, like showexp.php3 for
instance.

Also introduced toggle.php, a generic toggle script, similar to
adminmode.php, but useful for just about anything. To add something, just
add it to the list, specify the valid values it can have, and add its
permission check and action. Now you don't need a different php page for
each toggle switch. This page is already set up to take over from
adminmode.php, but I didn't change things over just yet.

(Should this go in the changelog?)

hang and get restarted (i.e., join again with a different ID).
Note that this count is only used for stats reporting so it isn't vital
that its value be correct.

Sort by vname is now the default sort, and you can sort by node_id (the
old sort), and by vname, by clicking on the column title, as usual.

and /share, all rooted in /netbed. This is convenient! New images have
symlinks pointing /{proj,groups,share} into /netbed.

* Allow users to set default group and default shell via web page and
  pass out to nodes when creating accounts.

not ever need to create a OSID directly, so do not give them the link.
Will need a mechanism to allow this later for Eric and others with a
clue. Also add pointer to customos section of the tutorial at the top
of the page.

Changed sitevariables table to use 'varchar(255)' for
name column instead of 'text'.
Made name column primary key.

This is pretty much a comment field for now;
NULL is a safe value, but if a node is a RON node
"ron:" followed by the name of the node in the ron
hosts table (in the external-to-emulab ron db) is
the preferred value. (This may facilitate automatic
db synchronization later.)

none is set.

Set TBAUTOMAILEMAIL in defs-default to testbed-automail@flux.utah.edu

Change quotamail to use bcc automail instead of tb-ops. Still says from
tb-ops, though, so that they reply to the right place.

Changed widearea_nodeinfo address columns to tinytext,
to make them consistent with users table.

Added 'sitevariables' table.

This is the table prompted by Mac's email yesterday, which
can contain site-specific configuration options.

'default' _must_ be set for each row, and will be used if
'value' is NULL.

'description' _should_ be set for each row.

The table doesn't have a primary key, but is indexed to
32 characters on the "name" column, so it should be plenty efficient.

libdb functions and web interface forthcoming...
