     6'''The main Quattor web site is now hosted on [http://quattor.org GitHub]]. The main documentation is avaiable there. This site holds technical documentations about a few Quattor toolkit components.'''

    68Quattor is a system administration toolkit providing a powerful, portable, and modular set of tools for the automated installation, configuration, and management of clusters and farms. It is developed as a community effort and provided as open-source software.

    8 Quattor was originally developed to manage the clusters and services used in grid computing. Today, Quattor is being used to manage at least 10 separate infrastructures spread across Europe. These range from massive single-site installations such as [http://www.morganstanley.com/ Morgan Stanley] (where more than 20000 machines are managed) to highly-distributed grid infrastructures such as [http://grid.ie Grid-Ireland] (which was made up of 18 physical installations). For more details on Quattor deployments, see [Deployments].

    2729== Configuring services ==
    28 On each managed machine, a set of configuration agents (or '''components''') is installed. Each agent is responsible for configuring a particular service. For example, ncm-accounts is in charge of managing local user accounts, and will add accounts specified in the machine's profile. Each agent reads its own parameters from a particular part of the profile (for example, ncm-accounts reads the list of users and groups defined at `/software/components/accounts`).
