Mark gave the OK. I've created the user saper on both boxes. Marcin,
you should be able to:

   ssh ptolemy.esams.wikimedia.org
   ssh ortelius.esams.wikimedia.org

Here's the notes I kept when setting up Cassini:
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/OpenStreetMap_server/Setup_notes

It would be very helpful if you continued updating that wiki page (or
related pages) with the stuff you do.

Open issues on the servers that need to be solved:

 * They need to be partitioned. There's some empty space on /dev/sd*
that hasn't been partitioned (> 1TB)
 * Evidently hardy's kernel doesn't like the RAID card on these boxes.
So the kernel needs to be upgraded, probably to jaunty-server

Have fun!
