Mark gave the OK. I've created the user saper on both boxes. Marcin,<br>
you should be able to:<br>
<br>
ssh <a href="http://ptolemy.esams.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">ptolemy.esams.wikimedia.org</a><br>
ssh <a href="http://ortelius.esams.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">ortelius.esams.wikimedia.org</a><br>

Here's the notes I kept when setting up Cassini:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/OpenStreetMap_server/Setup_notes" target="_blank">https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/OpenStreetMap_server/Setup_notes</a><br>
<br>
It would be very helpful if you continued updating that wiki page (or<br>
related pages) with the stuff you do.<br>
<br>
Open issues on the servers that need to be solved:<br>
<br>
* They need to be partitioned. There's some empty space on /dev/sd*<br>
that hasn't been partitioned (> 1TB)<br>
* Evidently hardy's kernel doesn't like the RAID card on these boxes.<br>
So the kernel needs to be upgraded, probably to jaunty-server<br>
<br>
Have fun!<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I haven't had so much free time lately, but am comfortable with helping set up and configure PostgreSQL and
PostGIS and get the OSM database import going. Though, there are many more
tasks to do that I have time to do.<br><br>
Partitioning the servers in an optimal manner for us is something I'm
not as comfortable with. I could figure it out if necessary, but Saper
is probably better capable of
that. One thing I do know is that the database logs should be on separate
partition from the database itself, and both kept separate from the
OS. <br></div><div><br>Here are a list of tasks:<br>

On Cassini, work is needed on PostgreSQL configuration.<br>
