before doing the loghole, so that currently running programs get a chance
to finish up and close their logfiles.

ssh-mime.pl to indirect telnet to the IXP board: return "ixpN-gw.emulab.net"
name as the gateway.  You can then convert that to an IP and subtract one
to get the IP to telnet to from the IXP host.

Fix up emulab-boss and emulab-ops port Makefiles to work with FreeBSD 6
and also to look for it instead of 5 when deciding what to do.

It is amazing the amount of stuff you have to do, even if you are not going
to do anything!

node.tcl: Fix the quoting of the -dir argument for the program agent

already done in sim.tcl::make_event)

names, ends up with things not being ordered as I want them to be.
So, reorder things.

It shouldn't matter in this file (only tb_compat.tcl), but just in case...

but now perl is unhappy.

users in the emulab-ops project (elabman, elabckup, operator) all with
the same email address. elabman is treated special (since it was the
only special user way back), but now there are lots of places that
either need to include tests for all special users, or we need to flag
these users in the users table.

For now I made a change to genelists.in to get past the problem. I
will address the user table at a later date.

Switch to using gtar for building the plab rootball;  apparently the
--numeric-owner flag disappeared from the FreeBSD version of tar.

Just use system instead of mysystem so we won't check the return code at all!

Each template has a datastore, which is really just a subdirectory that can
be populated with files, and committed to the subversion archive.  Note,
the datastore os specific to the template itself. The Template Archive link
on the Show Template page takes you to the subdirectory, which by
convention I am calling "datastore".

The directory actually lives in /proj/pid/exp/eid/TGUID-VERS ... but that
path is printed out for you on the archive page.

Anyway, put stuff in the datastore directory, and then commit the template
archive so there is a tag associated with it.

When an instance is created, a checkout of the datastore is placed in the
experiment directory (/proj/pid/eid/exp/template_datastore). The current
tag (from above) is stored with the instance so that we can later recreate
the enviroment for the instance, say for rerun.

Tarfiles and rpms in the datastore can be referenced as xxx://foo.rpm (in
your NS file).  tarfiles_setup transforms those when the instance is
swapped in, sorta like it does other URLs, only it does not actually fetch
them, just need to rewrite the paths so they reference datastore.

The program agent gets another environment variable so you can refer to the
datastore without hardwiring paths ($DATASTORE). Eventually I want to move
the checkout someplace else, but it was easy to drop it into the experiment
directory for now.

 The nfsd script will try to kill all nfsd processes, but once
 the master is killed, it kills all children itself.  Thus the
 nfsd script may fail to kill the children if they are already
 dead.  "forcestop" instead of "stop" tells the script to ignore errors.
