  @cindex configuring @sc{gnats} on a network
  
! When you install the @sc{gnats} utilities, the user tools are installed
! by default on the host machine.  If your machine is part of a network,
! however, you may wish to install the user tools on each machine in the
! network so that responsible parties on those machines can submit new
! Problem Reports, query the database, and edit existing PRs.  To do this,
! follow these steps @emph{on each new host}.  You may need @code{root} access on
! each machine.
  
! (still to be written...)
! @c XXXXX Need to document the new network features.

  @cindex using @sc{gnats} over a network
  @cindex configuring @sc{gnats} on a network
  
! When you install the @sc{gnats} utilities, the user tools are
! installed by default on the host machine.  If your machine is part of
! a network, however, you may wish to install the user tools on each
! machine in the network so that responsible parties on those machines
! can submit new Problem Reports, query the database, and edit existing
! PRs.  
  
! In the following discussion, machines with the @sc{gnats} user
! tools installed are referred to as @dfn{client} machines.
! 
! As discussed below, there are two main ways to make the user tools
! available on client hosts, depending on where the client machines are
! located.
! 
! @subsection User tools on a local network
! @cindex using @sc{gnats} over a local network
! @cindex configuring @sc{gnats} on a local network
! 
! If all the machines involved reside on the same local network
! as the @sc{gnats} server, you can simply share out the directories on
! the server that contain the user tools, by default
! @file{/usr/local/bin} and the directory which contains the
! @file{send-pr.conf} configuration file, by default
! @file{/usr/local/etc/gnats}.  If you have a heterogeneous environment,
! i.e. hosts running different operating systems, you need to create
! several shared @sc{gnats} installations.  The @file{send-pr.conf} file
! is platform-independent, though.
! 
! In order to submit a new PR, @code{send-pr} would then be invoked as
! follows on the client machines:
! 
! @smallexample
! send-pr -d @var{hostname:port:database:username:password}
! @end smallexample
! 
! Or by first setting the environment variable @code{GNATSDB} as follows
! (the exact syntax will vary depending on what shell you use):
! 
! @smallexample
! export GNATSDB=@var{hostname:port:database:username:password}
! @end smallexample
! 
! Then, @code{send-pr} can simply be invoked without any options.
! 
! @subsection User tools for remote users
! @cindex using @sc{gnats} remotely
! @cindex configuring @sc{gnats} for remote users
! 
! Outline for each host:
! 
! @enumerate
! @item Download
! @item Configure
! @item make
! @item Install send-pr.conf
! @end enumerate
! 
! Use same send-pr syntax as above or use GNATSDB, OR for sites that
! need to submit by e-mail, create a template by running ``send-pr -p''
! and install this file on the clients.
