ISG News has posted a new item, 'niche PSA: disabling SMB wide links'
This announcement will probably not affect too many users, but it might have
some impact and we can't narrow down the recipient space.
For some time now, our group shares on groupdata.phys.ethz.ch, when mounted
via SMB, allowed so-called wide links - they point from one group share to a
place outside of this share (usually to another share). For
$complicated_reasons we have to disable those wide links. This will break
redirection to the target share. We believe this is mainly a convenience
issue, but we might not be aware of legitimate use cases. So if you find
something broken after
Tuesday, October 8, 2024
please get in touch so that we can find a solution. Links within a particular
share will still work, but link targets have to be relative
(../../papers/thesis.tex) instead of absolute
(/home/sharename/documents/papers/thesis.tex).
Thanks.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Network renovation in HPT'
This one goes out to all HPT inhabitants. As you might have noticed, the HPT
network infrastructure is currently being remodelled. In order to be able to
take full advantage of the new uplink cables and access switches, ideally all
grey patch cables (from the wall sockets to the devices) should be replaced as
well (the blue ones are OK). We do realize that this is not realistic in many
(lab) settings, but please swap them out for new cat6 cables whenever you can
(they're available in the D-PHYS Shop). Don't hesitate to contact us if you
have questions.
