The abbey's public particulars are included below. They are the
public particulars of a small institute, nothing more. As for the
-abbey's private data, examples (only! ;-) are included in the
-following chapters.
+abbey's private parameters, in =private/vars-abbey.yml=, example lines
+(only! ;-) are included in the following chapters. An example of the
+abbey's private institutional parameters, =private/vars.yml=, can be

is another USB3.0 Ethernet adapter connected with a cross-over cable
to the Ethernet interface of a "cable modem" (a Starlink terminal).
-The MAC address of each interface is set in =private/vars.yml=, the
-values of the ~gate_lan_mac~, ~gate_wifi_mac~ and ~gate_isp_mac~
-variables.
+The MAC address of each interface is set in =private/vars.yml= (see

DHCP configuration (as in [[*Add to Core DHCP][Add to Core DHCP]]). A private domain name is
then associated with this address. If the device is intended to
operate wirelessly, the name for its address is modified with a ~-w~
-suffix. Thus ~new-w.birchwood.private~ would be the name of the new
+suffix. Thus ~new-w.small.private~ would be the name of the new
device while it is temporarily connected to the cloister Ethernet, and
-~new.birchwood.private~ would be its "normal" name used when it is on
-the cloister Wi-Fi.
+~new.small.private~ would be its "normal" name used when it is on the
+cloister Wi-Fi.
The private domain name is created by adding a line like the following
to =private/db.domain= and incrementing the serial number at the top
at the top of that file.

Note that Dick's notebook does not need to connect to the cloister
server. The VPN address can be discovered by running ~ip addr show
dev ovpn~ on the machine, or inspecting =/etc/openvpn/ipp.txt= on
Gate. Once discovered, a private domain name,
-e.g. ~new.birchwood.private~, can be associated with the VPN address,
-e.g ~10.84.138.7~. The administrator adds a line like the following
-to =private/db.domain= and increments the serial number at the top of
-the file.

A wireless device with no Ethernet interface and unable to run OpenVPN
gets just a Wi-Fi address. It can be given a private domain name
-(e.g. ~new.birchwood.private~) associated with the Wi-Fi address
+(e.g. ~new.small.private~) associated with the Wi-Fi address
(e.g. ~192.168.10.225~), but a reverse lookup on a machine connected
to the Wi-Fi may yield a name like ~new.lan~ (provided by the access
point) while elsewhere (e.g. on the cloister Ethernet) the IP address
