eddie initial setup

Initial setup work on eddie:

  • group: =uid in /etc/usermgmt.conf
  • extra groups for my user (operator to do shutdowns, disk management, and tcpdumps (I chgrp operator /dev/bpf*)).
  • a few dot files and ssh key material.
  • LVM PV/VG/LV setup with partitions for /usr/local, /usr/home, and /usr/src. Hey, I forgot about /scratch! Nevermind, there's still plenty of LVM space left. Sizes are modelled from previous NetBSD setups.
  • A handful of extra packages, most notably:
    • screen (not that I'm against tmux from base, but running tmux nested inside a frontend screen session is a bit awkward.)
    • tcsh (just because standard /bin/csh uses ESC for filename expansion while my fingers got wired to TAB from too much bash usages).
    • pkgin (to be able to search for packages)

Next up: moving stuff into the LVM filesystems, updating syssrc.
