2016

• 2016/01/05 -- Rebooted Pumpkin on a new MB, Intel i7 CPU, 16 x 4 TB WD drives + 2x WD750 for system in RAID0. System installed is Centos 7

2015

• 2015/08/31 -- Setup Gourd's new networking for "bridge".
• 2015/08/28 -- installed the Maui scheduler as the default scheduler. It runs under "maurik" at this point.
• 2015/08/28 -- Patched the Maui scheduler (code in /data1/System/maui-3.3.1 ) to take command line options properly (i.e. -d)
• 2015/08/28 -- Fixed LOG issue on the pbs_server. Code is in /data1/System/torque.git file src/server/node_manager.c
• 2015/08/28 -- Added a list to Einstein fail2ban rules to exclude "lost connection after AUTH from".
• 2015/08/26 -- uninstall postfix, install sendmail on Endeavour. Postfix is too complicated, all we need is a mail forwarder.
• 2015/08/26 -- Reinstall Splunk on Taro -- license overruns made it useless.
• 2015/08/11 -- Started upgrade of Gourd to Centos 7, since it wasn't booting anymore anyway. Ran into trouble with the ethernet driver.
• 2015/08/11 -- Roentgen aka Nuclear is running again on Endeavor. It is on OpenServer Net.
• 2015/08/11 -- Einstein now on the OpenServer net. NOTE: They STILL have a tendency to block port 25 (incoming email), so an exception is made of this machine.

• 2015/06/09 -- Fixed mail not arriving, since port 25 was blocked again.

• 2015/05/19 -- Cleaned up some old user home dirs. Anyone who did not have a login now also does not have a /home or /mail drive. Some users set to /bin/false to be removed later.
• 2015/05/19 -- Inserted a 1TB drive in Gourd and set it up to mirror /home /mail and /kvm as it is supposed to be RAID1. No clue what happened with the original mirror disk.
• 2015/05/19 -- Tried to get backup emails to work again on Lentil. We'll see.
• 2015/05/14 -- Virtualization stopped on Lentil. Not needed on backup system.

• 2015/04/15 -- Fail2ban running on Endeavour.

• 2015/04/14 -- Splunk restarted on Taro, setup on Einstein (forwarding to Taro).
• 2015/04/09 -- Roentgen and Nuclear moved to Taro and Open Server net. MySQL DB copied over in final state. (so now you are looking at the new Roentgen.)
• 2015/04/08 -- Node cloning in progress. See How to Clone a Node
• 2015/04/08 -- Move to Open Server Net in progress. See Move To Open Server Net
• 2015/04/03 -- Taro is now on Server-Open network with new IP 132.177.180.86. Endeavour is on 132.177.180.225.
• 2015/04/02 -- Endeavour upgrade documented at Upgrading Endeavour --Node 2 is nearly done.
• 2015/04/02 -- The backups are running but still not sending mail. It seems NO ONE IS LOOKING AT THIS! (that is a good way to piss me off.)
• 2015/03/12 -- MailMan E-mail is not working properly. Changed backup cron job (/etc/cron.daily/0rsync_backup) to send email directly.
• 2015/03/08 -- Gourd CentOS 6 Migration
• 2015/03/02 -- SpamAssassin and E-mail -- misconfigured postfix did not run spam properly.

• 2015/02/15 -- taro updated the globus toolkit for data transfers to/from Jlab.
• 2015/02/03 -- lentil Changed the network-scripts. Lentil was still trying to use the VLAN, while it was directly connected to the UNH network. (Shame on us!) Also, configured sssd to contact einstein.farm.physics.unh.edu instead of einstein.unh.edu.

2014

2014/11/29 -- einstein Dovecot.conf:45 disable_plaintext_auth = yes 2014/11/29 -- einstein Changed the NTP servers to ns1.unh.edu, ns2.unh.edu, nic.unh.edu, since these actually work!
2014/11/04 -- einstein taro Iptables have a new, long, blacklist.
2014/11/04 -- einstein Changed Postfix authentication module from smtpd to dovecot. This fixes the issue with postfix claiming authentication methods which don't actually work.
2014/10/05 -- corn and jalapeno Change: Fully transitioned RHEL repositories and packages to their equivelant CentOS versions. Both changes required downloading and installing CentOS's repository keys, removing all packages that start with rhn (replaced with the CentOS versions), then cleaning all cached packages and running a standard yum upgrade. Details on what commands used can be found at http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/convert-redhat-centos
2014/09/26 -- einstein Change: Stop the avahi-daemon service and take it out of the automatically started services. Avahi-daemon implements Apple's "bonjour" protocols, which I don't think we need.
