Hi Serge,

Here some answers (once again you are in contact with NIKHEF here).

If you don't have any VOs defined at all I am not sure what would happen 
;-)  Don't you have a VL-E (dutch national BSIK project) affiliation? 
If so you could support the p4 VO.  I don't use YAIM but if you send me 
an example line from one of the 'default' VOs I can send you a 
replacement for VL-E p4.  This VO contains only dutch people right now 
(and I am sure the p4 guys would be very happy to expand the reach, I 
think it's only NIKHEF and SARA right now).

What you need to do is to set 512 MB for CE_MINPHYSMEM.  For CPU_SPEED 
you should check the SPECint2000 benchmarks (google is your buddy here) 
to see the rating of your 1.8 GHz (I assume you mean GHz and not MHz 
here) machine, use that value.

If you don't mind all the accounts being created you can leave it like 
it is.  You will need to add the p4 VO.  The SARA folks might be able to 
tell you how their users.conf is set up.

If you don't join LCG you won't be able to set this to any reasonable 
value.  Unless you want to set up your own RGMA registry server.  I 
don't recommend that for a beginning site.

Just leave it like this.

I would choose lcgtest.philips.nl .  This form of name seems to be what 
we are converging on for the next version of the middleware, be the 
first on your block to ride the new wave.

You need to set these appropriate to your firewall at Philips.  In 
principle it doesn't matter at all as long as you are not connecting to 
the outside world.  In practice most people have the default settings here.

Set it to whatever you like, default is fine.

No I would not try it.  If you want to try something besides the 
'classic' you should try the DPM.

Good luck!
