- * Nameservers: the proxies use Google nameservers by default and search wleiden.net
+ * Name servers: the proxies use Google nameservers e.g. 8.8.8.8 by default and search wleiden.net
+
+ * The location specific configuration file has been named rc.conf.local (in stead of rc.node.local which is used in the nodefactory) and the configuration scripts have been modified where required. The reference to rc.node.local in the rc.conf file has been removed as rc.conf.local is read by default (see rc_conf_files variable in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file).
+
+ * To access the wleiden netwerk from the local network one can set up a ssh-tunnel, i.e. to access the host 192.168.1.20 at some node   one can use:
+   {{{
+   ssh -L 8888:192.168.1.20:80 <node-ip> 
+   (for webinterface: http://localhost:8888)
+   or
+   ssh -L 2222:192.168.1.20:22 <node-ip> 
+   (for ssh connection: ssh -p 2222 root@localhost) 
+   Every application (port) requires a separate ssh tunnel.
+   }}}
+   We have decided not to use NAT as this requires the installation of a firewall which complicates the setup. In most cases access to wleiden.net will not be required.

- Place the new CF disk in the machine and boot it up (existing nodes: just reboot), you should be good to go! Especially first time booting can take a long time, depending also on hardware. In a Soekris4521 this takes about ten minutes. You can follow the boot process using e.g. minicom or tip, via a serial connection (communication parameters: 9600 8N1).

   Note 1. For subsequent nodes you can skip the build and go directly for step C, or take a look at development if you have to rebuild the image (after small changes).
