The outer door to UGCS is jammed closed, making the lab inaccessible. If you are trapped inside, please send us an email or call security at 626-395-5000 (extension 5000 on campus). Otherwise, the lab will not be available for a few days. We will work with Facilities to take care of this as soon as we can.

All user principles have been modified to allow Kerberos tickets to be requested for up to 365 days. Tickets may be renewed up to a total length of 3652 days. Unfortunately, Kerberos does not allow for an unexpiring ticket, analogous to an SSH keypair, but these should be close enough.

We will be migrating to Postgresql 8.3 in a few weeks. To help you make this migration, we have set up a Postgres 8.3 server at postgres:5433. Please test your applications against this new database. See Postgres migration for more information. As always, contact us if you have any questions.

A "phising" email was just sent to many UGCS users which asks you to reply with a username and password. Do not reply to this message- it is a scam. UGCS sysadmins will never ask you for your password.

We have set /afs/.ugcs/ugcs-admin to be world-readable. You can now look through the various utilites we have written to help automate the cluster administration. Over the next few months, we will be setting up a website to better document the code we have written.

We also have a read-only copy of our svn repository available at http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/svn, or you can access it at file:///afs/.ugcs/ugcs-admin/svn We're quickly adding our projects to it, so check back often!

Over the next day or two, we will be rebooting our shellservers with a new setup. This will improve their speed and usability, but will result in some downtime in various shellservers. Contact us if you're planning on running and long-term jobs.
