Setting Up a Ubuntu Perforce Server

Networking

Changing from DHCP to static IP address, don't forget to change the firewall rule on the host, and for some reason the name resolving for the ubuntu server is gone from Windows XP, so add an entry in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

NTP

Using NTP. To make sure my Ubuntu server on VirtualBox would update its clock, I added a cron job to the root account:

* * * * * /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate ntp.xs4all.nl >> /var/log/cron.ntpdate

This makes sure that after maximally one minute the clock is in sync again.

Editors

Change your default editor by adding a line to .bashrc:

export EDITOR=vim
