As testbed server a Linux machine is required. In case
of the AEOLUS testbed, a multiprocessor machine with Gigabit
Backbone connection and a softraid system running Ubuntu 8.04
Server Edition is used.

Required software components (usually part of every modern
Linux distribution):
- SSH
- cron
- bash
- perl
- gcc, libc
- Java (Sun JDK >= 6.0)
- MySQL database
- Apache webserver
- Apache PHP plugin

Instructions on how to properly configure these software
components are usually shipped together with them and can
additionally be found on the distributors' particular web
pages.

All the contents except the folder "Windows-Client" have
to be placed on the testbed server. The path of the "www"
folder has to be properly integrated in Apache configuration.
If the full PHP securtiy model is enabled, the files in
the "scripts" folder have to be linked from the folder of
allowed executables.

RSA and DSA SSH keys have to be created and stored as
id_aeolus_rsa and id_aeolus_dsa, respectively.

The script "restart-wrapper.sh" has to be regularly invoked
by cron (config entry can be found at the beginning of that
file).

The MySQL database has to be setup like in the joge_aeolus.sql
scheme. To attach nodes to the testbed, the database has to be
populated with their corresponding IP addresses and ports. It
is recommended to install phpMyAdmin as a frontend to the MySQL
database to ease handling the database.

To attach Windows nodes to the testbed, the Windows client has
to be installed on them. The installer as well as all related
sources can be found in the "Windows-Client" folder.
