[UCIMC-Tech] help/advice for RFU website

[Chris Ritzo]

I should have a user account on the wrfu site- critzo probably.  If you
someone could make me an admin, I'll install Feeds and get it ready, set up
a new content type. Joe, when you have a sample csv let me know what the
field names are. I can also ssh into fixx0 and see about getting the mount
set up. I'm guessing that would be at the file system level, instead of
through apache or drupal. We put a mount point in fixx0's fstab and then a
symlink to it from inside the drupal file structure. Then nodes can
reference the appropriate file system paths and access is secured through
drupal user/role permissions

What's the status of grimlock? is it on an internal-only imc subnet? Is it
set up to allow NFS mounts?
