HEPiX X11 Scripts - Administrator's Guide

This is the administrator's guide of the HEPiX X11 scripts, it tries to describe what an administrator (site, system or group) can do to modify the X environment that will be offered to "his" users.


Introduction

With the version 3.x of the HEPiX scripts, an X11 package is provided to give a good default X environment that is easy to customise.

This document describes only what is specific to X11. It is complementary to the HEPiX scripts administrator's guide.

Installation

At CERN, the installation is straightforward when you use ASIS and SUE. In fact, SUE installs by default the HEPiX X11 scripts and you have nothing to do...

Otherwise, here is what should be done:

Customisation

You can easily customise the HEPiX X11 scripts by modifying some files and setting some variables, usually in the file xprofile.

As an example, you can look at the site level customisation done at CERN that is documented elsewhere.
