Security Notes

ZeptoOS is completely configurable. You may choose to allow user login access, or restrict it. However you configure ZeptoOS, it is important to note that the default configuration from IBM is for the I/O Nodes to NFS mount the /bgl file system with full root privileges. This means that anyone who has root access on the I/O nodes can modify everything on the NFS server. On our machine, we have modified the service node to export /bgl read-only, without observing any adverse effects on the I/O nodes.

Configuring the Build

Download the bzipped file on the Bluegene/P login node. Extract the sources by using: $ tar xjf zeptoos-20.tar.bz2

Change to the BGP top directory using: $ cd BGP/
