SettingUpBuildslave

 Buildslave configuration is covered thoroughly in the [http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/manual/index.html the buildbot manual]. Basically you just step through the "Creating a buildslave" section in the buildbot manual except that you could skip step 1 ("Set up the account") because the connectivity tests require root access.
+
+Step-by-step, the following is needed:
+
+ 1. create a user ("buildbot")
+ 1. create a buildslave configuration, in a subdirectory of buildbot's home directory
+{{{ 
+user$ sudo su - buildbot
+buildbot$ buildslave create-slave ~/build-openvpn 10.177.36.101:9989 <buildbot name> <buildbot pass>
+}}}
+this will create a subdirectory "build-openvpn/" which has a *.tac file with the buildbot config (so, username, buildmaster, etc. can be edited later on).  {{{ <buildbot-name> }}} and {{{ <buildbot-pass> }}} need to be coordinated with the buildmaster admins (mattock).
+ 4. ensure the community VPN is up (ping 10.177.36.101 works)
+ 1. start the buildslave
+{{{
+buildbot$ buildslave start ~/build-openvpn
+}}}
+ 1. ensure that community VPN and buildslave get started at boot time...
 
 In case you need to run the buildslave as a limited user you may follow these steps:
