Ok, I ran the first commands on 128.238.56.53 and 128.238.56.55, but it
didn't seem to start.  I added your ssh key so you can ssh to the
buildbot user on those machines. I didn't edit the admin or host files,
since I think you know that stuff better than me.

Your ssh key should already be in the pddev account on the PdLab
machines.  There is no password access to those machines, only with SSH
keys.

The master is the one with a biggish disk, so it makes sense to use that
one.  Is the version on the master too old to function?  Because I can
upgrade buildbot on that one soon, after the Pd-extended release.
