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

See Mail Improvements

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
• 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 (hestia)

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.
