Software
Fix mex (matlab compiler)
Add support for distributed Mathematica on mortals
Small fixes
Small things that need to be fixed across various services/machines:
- Email heartbeat
- Hestia SSL cert
- Change kabta back to ssh keys after Alex/Raymond add theirs
- Find the sysadmins PGP key
- Fix the backup schedules to something sensible
Mail System
Automatic group creation/management
See ugcs groups
Large file hosting
Almost done! See NFS servers Server is running and exporting things correctly. All we need now is disk quotas.
Account creator / password reset
- Re-work as necessary to ensure robustness
- Add exception reporting system (email to sysadmins)
- Write full test suite to ensure quality
Network
- Write a system that shows us mac/ip/port number
- Add port mirroring to charon for deseriable traffic
- Improve firewalls
- Enable switch port security
- Fix switch names
Hardware
- Set up hestia to take over for dionysus - in progress
- network card flip: put one of the single gigabit cards into charon, and move its two-port gigabit cards into poseidon and persephone
Web hosting
- Add a failover web server
Global login records
We need to implement some stuff with ldap so we have global login records
Documentation
- We need a printed-out copy of critical wiki stuff
- We need to make more documentation about our services for disaster recovery.
- We need to update all of the core server pages with correct disk setups and currently running services.
