access

For a project named (and with the repository and server user name) 'example'.

For the git pull to work your public key must be in /home/vlad/.ssh/authorized_keys on the test server (simone.mayfirst.org). You can get this value from /home/yourusername/.ssh/authorized_keys. (@Stefan can we in some way give people with access to simone access to use it as the vlad user automatically?)

How in the world aren't there very clear instructions for getting started with PostgreSQL after apt-get install postgresql?

UPDATE: Doing this the right way

Read the documentation that Debian (and so Ubuntu) provide, typically in /usr/share/doc/<package-name>

The documentation we need can be read with:
vi /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.4/README.Debian.gz

2. Get a shell for the database superuser 'postgres'. If your system
has an active root user, use su:

Blocked and receiving an error "ssh: connect to host" "port 22: Connection refused", Stefan added the IP address where this was not working to the hosts allow file, and explained the system.

There's two relevant files: /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny

/etc/hosts.deny is updated by the denyhosts package based on attacks and suspicious behaviour. it can be overridden by /etc/hosts.allow

An entry consists of a service, such as ssh, and a number of IP addresses.

Access to Agaric test sites, issue tracking queues, and other admin tools are handled by kerberos.

ssh simone.mayfirst.org

Add users to groups here:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/groups

Make sure you refer to the user as the username you provided (should be lowercase) followed by @MAYFIRST.ORG (all of this must be in uppercase, so for project example with username example you would add a line like this:

example: example@MAYFIRST.ORG
