Tacky things done to facilitate user's requests

Repeat recreation of /usr/X11R6/lib64/libXm.so pointing at libXm.so.3 on athena0 (see 5-Mar-2008)

Request from WDetmold, RT#813: wants hsi/htar from NERSC https://www.nersc.gov/nusers/systems/hpss/usage_hsi.php Obtaining rpm's requires login, so he got the following:

hsi-2.13-rhel4.1.2.2.i386.rpm
htar-2.13-rhel4.1.2.2.i386.rpm

Installing on athena0...

The /usr/X11R6/lib64 directory does not have a complete set of "generic" symbolic links.

Among the absent was libXm.so pointing to the current (or any) version.

On Athena0, Dick Seymour added

 libXm.so -> libXm.so.3
 since 
 libXm.so.3 was already a link pointing to libXm.so.3.0.2

...this addition required to build the interactive flavor of "root".

As a repository for CENPA-generated libraries and commonly run applications, a group-accessible directory

 /share/sdata2/cenpa

was created.

Its physical location is on athena5 as

 /psfs/sata-data-2/sdata2/cenpa

Installed rpms from distribution to add perl LDAP & SSL functionality for somsky:

 perl-LDAP
 perl-Convert-ASN1
 perl-XML-NamespaceSupport
 perl-XML-SAX
