Many thanks go to Bob Riddle of Internet2, and Bob Olson of Argonne National Laboratory, whose documents provided invaluable inspiration and fodder for this document (and from whose documents many of the graphics herein were taken). Special thanks to Marty Hoag, of North Dakota State University, who saved me and countless others much unpleasantness by sending me detailed notes on procedures for first-time rat startup. Many thanks also to Susan Topol, also of Internet2; Lisa Childers, of Argonne National Laboratory; and Russ Wolf, of Boston University, who reviewed an early draft and put up with my constant need for updated screen shots.
