Functions:
- mail hub
- network print server
- scan server
- mp3 file server
- system monitor
- proxy server
Here are the detailed steps needed to convert this $99 low power server into something useful:
Connect to the SheevaPlug console
* Connect the mini-USB/USB cable to a handy Linux box
* Load the appropriate kernel module:
sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x9e88 product=0x9e8f * Install gtkterm if you don't already have it:
apt-get install gtkterm* Configure gtkterm to connect to port /dev/ttyUSB1 (or whatever the SheevaPlug reports as,
ls /dev/ttyUSB* to find out)* Power up and watch the boot
= Start with Martin's file system =
See the excellent description of getting the Debian/Lenny filesystem snapshot that Martin Michlmayr has provided:
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html
In addition to building an MMC card with the initial Debian file system, also upgrade the firmware to the one provided by user kwonsk at the PlugComputer.org forum. You will likely need to install the tftp server somewhere on your network --
apt-get install tftpd and put the u-boot.bin binary in /srv/tftp/= Initial steps =
* Login as root via the console change the root password:
passwd
* Note the ip address (/sbin/ifconfig eth0ntpdate pool.ntp.org* Change the ssh keys:
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host*
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""

Now you want to be able to manage the print server remotely via the web interface, so you'll have to edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
sudo $EDITOR /etc/cups/cupsd.conf...find the three places that look like this:
Location /
Location /admin
Location /admin/conf
and add the following after the "Order allow,deny" lines:
Allow @LOCALAlso change the line from:
Listen localhost:631to
Port 631Then restart the cups daemon:
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
How you will be able to use a web browser to manage your system here: http://lordshiva.local:631/ using your root credentials. In the "Manager Server" section, enable "Share published printers connected to this system"
= scan server =
The tools xsane and gimp can take advantage of a network sane scanner. To enable this, edit /etc/sane.d/scand.conf and add either the hostnames you'll be scanning from our a netblock.
Then tell inetd to start listening on the sane-port (6566)
marc@lordshiva:/etc/sane.d$ sudo update-inetd --enable sane-portNow all you need to do on the system you are going to scan from, edit /etc/sane.d/net.conf and add lordshiva.local (or whatever you named yours ;-)

Now to configure gnump3 is pretty simple, edit /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf and set root = /media/mp3 or wherever the music is.
To start it up:
sudo gnump3d &
Then point a browser to http://lordshiva.local:8888/ and listen or download music. This comes in very handy for the kids when they need to load up their mp3 players.
