GIIS HOWTO
==========

Packages required
-----------------
The following packages are required for globus_mds. Version numbers don't matter, though.
The most important of these are the globus_mds_back_giis* RPMs and globus_mds-edgconfig, followed by the other globus_* RPMs upon which they depend.
Most of the other packages listed here are completely standard ones which come with linux distros.
Strangely, globus_openldap doesn't require globus_mds_common - I do not know why.

GIIS Configuration
------------------
open /etc/globus.conf

Add the line

GRID_INFO_GIIS_1=netmon

When the globus-mds is run, this will generate a "VO" called netmon, to which other GIISes and GRISes can register.

You also need the following set in /etc/globus.conf:
GRID_INFO_USER=globus

"globus" may be some other unpriveledged user.
