| This machine donated by Justin Leitgeb seems real nice. Buffered disk throughput is about 1.5 GB/s. Raw disk reads are 60 MB/s for the two 36 GB disks and 120 MB/s for the 4-disk array. Not bad at all. | |

| * Removed excessive packages, cleaned up the system * Installed ''changetrack'' to monitor all config file changes. The program uses ''rcs'' and automatically keeps previous revisions. It is ran from ''cron'' on a daily basis. * Installed ''debsums'' to monitor file md5sums * Installed Courier IMAP and IMAP-SSL * Installed LDAP for user authentication. The system is currently configured to use LDAP and fallback to the usual ''/etc/'' files. Admin users will be added locally on all machines and will be able to log in even when LDAP is not operational. * Installed MIT Kerberos 5 * Fixed date/time on the system. Installed ''ntpd'' * Installed TLS support for LDAP. Certificate file is ''/etc/ldap/server.pem'', and ldap/ldaps ports are 389/636. * Installed Linux 2.6.18.3-grsec with 2.6.18-mm3 patches (2) for megaraid. * The patches and source tree installed, along with the .deb generated, is under /usr/src/ntk2. I set up sockets groups as on fyodor (7070-7072). SMP, with hyperthreading enhancements, is enabled. I also installed a bunch of packages that someone were uninstalled while I was gone (e.g., gcc). I also fixed the sudoers, wheel group, and admin home directories. --NathanKennedy * Kerberos + LDAP works. * Compiled requisite kernel modules, compiled and installed new OpenIPMI package, and installed dellomsa. Dell OMSA is now working. --NathanKennedy * Install SSH. * Permit new admins to log in by copying their SSH keys to their newly-created (empty) home directories. * Install AFS (need to repeat the reading on AFS and how it really works. Also it will influence the decision how to format ''/dev/sdb'' in the system) -- DavorOcelic |
