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.

The outer door has been fixed by "facilities".

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.

UGCS is running its annual sysadmin search. If you are interested in being a UGCS syadmin, please take our sysadmin survey.

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.

UGCS now supports svn protocol for subversion source control hosting. We may add additional source control programs if users express interest (eg, git). For more information, see the page on Subversion.
Additionally, we are now running a PGP keyserver, for those of you who make use of such encryption. You can find it at [[1]], [[2]], and [[3]].
