Software and Services
Taro is one of the few systems that has a bit more accessibility from off-campus. It requires additional monitoring to make sure everything is working and there are no compromises on security. Taro stores a considerable amount of data on its RAID
Globus
This is a system for transferring data to/from Jlab. See more on the globus page.
IPTables
Taro uses the standard NPG iptables firewall. Taro allows ssh, icmp, portmap and nfs connections.
Taro serves its /data volume over NFS. It can be accessed from any system via automount either in /net/data/taro or /net/taro/data.
/etc/exports
/data @servers(rw,sync) @npg_clients(rw,sync) \
10.0.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
VMWare
