We are going to start holding Office Hours in UGCS. Current office hours times are 7:30pm - 9pm, but are subject to change- see the page for updates. Come by to say hi, get your password reset, or ask questions about Linux or UGCS.

We are currently migrating to Postgres 8.3. For portions of tonight, postgres may be down, and changes made may be lost.
Update: 11:59pm The migration should be complete, and databases should connect to 8.3 by default.

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.
