[KSB] Since there seems to be problems with mail delivery, at the risk
of repetition, let me repeat the URL of a Wiki that went live in the
last 24 hours: http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/index.php?
title=Main_Page

[KSB] If you are still in the process of setting up GT.M and the
environment (vs. configuring VistA itself), let me suggest a much faster
alternative.  You will need Xdialog (http://xdialog.dyns.net) on your PC
for this approach.

Download an OpenVistA SemiVivA file (either OpenVistA SemiVivA 0.4 or
OpenVistA SemiVivA FOIA Gold 20050212), say to /Distrib/OpenVistA.  The
following will install GT.M and OpenVistA (replace the filename in the
second line with appropriate name of downloaded file):

  su -
  tar zxvf /Distrib/OpenVistA/OpenVistASemiVivAFOIAGold20050212.tgz

Assuming your userid is "vista" as the normal user vista, execute:

  /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --install /home/vista/myVistA/OpenVistA

(or other desired location) and reply in the affirmative when you are
prompted about creating directories.  Subsequently, to run it, just
execute:

  /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --run /home/vista/myVistA/OpenVistA

The above really belongs in the Wiki, doesn't it?

[KSB] I recommend against this.  Not that I know of any specific
vulnerability in GT.M/Linux, or your firewall, but rather that I believe
in the principle of layered defenses.  Oracle, for example, recommends
against putting a database server on a machine that is not behind a
firewall (as opposed to being the firewall).
