The following are instruction to deploy the geoserver configurations as of version 1.1.3.
Log onto any given geosever box and do the following.
cd /usr/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.30/webapps # this next line is needed only if it has been changed in version control svn export http://eas.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geoserver/deploy_geoserver_init.sh sudo ./deploy_geoserver_init.sh
This will do a bunch of stuff, which is documented here.
All the work is being done by a python script which should give you the output shown below.
