Set up Networking for TeamForge

note

You must have root access to all the hosts you will be setting up for your site.

  1. Use the NetworkManager to list the DNS servers you want to use for resolving Internet addresses.
  2. Open the appropriate ports, and close all other ports. See Port Requirements.
  3. Use the hostname command to verify that the machine name is resolvable on the network. 
    hostname
    bigbox.supervillain.org
  4. Use the nslookup command to verify that your hostname maps to the right IP address. 
    nslookup bigbox.supervillain.org
    Server: 204.16.107.137
    Address: 204.16.107.137#53
    tip

    If there is any doubt about what the system's real IP address is, use the /sbin/ifconfig command.

  5. If you are installing behind a proxy, specify your proxy settings. 
    export http_proxy=http://<PROXY_USERNAME>:<PROXY_PASSWD>@<PROXY_HOST>:<PROXY_PORT>
    export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,<hostname>
  6. Use a tool such as Nessus to scan your server for potential vulnerabilities. See [Port Requirements][requirements.html#portreq] for detailed security recommendations.
