Sysadmin Todo List

• Clean up 202

- Figure out what's worth keeping
- Figure out what doesn't belong here

• Make power supply mount for taro
• Consolodate backups to get a drive for gourd
• Label hard disks
• Repair local network connection on Gourd.
• Repair LDAP on Gourd (probably caused by net connection).
• Replace failed drive in Gourd - 250gb sata
• Documentation for networking - we have no idea which config files are actually doing anything on some machines.
• Take a look at spamassassin - Improve Performance of this if possible.
• Test unknown equipment:

    - Power supplies
    - UPS
    - Power Strips
    - Fans
    - Network cables

• Look into upgrades/patches for all our systems.
• Look into monitorring that is already installed: RAIDs etc.
• Look into Red Hat Enterprise Level 5, the latest version. Update Tomato to RHEL5 and check all services einstein currently provides. Then switch einstein <-> tomato, and then upgrade what was originally einstein. Look into making an einstein, tomato failsafe setup.

Completed Tasks

• Get ahold of a multimeter so we can test supplies and cables. Got a tiny portable one.
• Order new power supply for Taro Ordered from Newegg 5/24/2007
• Weed out unneccesary cables, we don't need a full box of ata33 and another of ata66. Consolodated to one box
• Installed new power supply for Taro.
• Get printer (Myriad) working.
• Set up skype.
• Fix sound on improv so we can use skype and music. sound was set to alsa, setting to OSS fixed it. should have worked either way though.
• Check out 250gb sata drive found in old maxtor box. Lentil can't seem to see it. Possibly a dead drive?
