ISG News has posted a new item, 'Plimpy maintenance reboot'
Our terminal server plimpy (uptime: 80 days) is slowly clogging up with runaway
processes, eating up memory and CPU. Since we cannot tell apart good processes
from bad ones, we schedule a maintenance reboot for tomorrow, Wednesday February
24 at 18:00 in order to give the system a fresh start. We ask all users to save
their data and log out of their thin clients.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Mail Server Migration Part 2: Mailing Lists'
On Thursday, 18th of February 2010, starting at 5pm there will be a mail
service downtime for migrating the D-PHYS and FIRST mailing lists to the new
mail server. During the downtime, no new mail can be sent or received and
neither access to the mailing lists' web interface nor to the archive will be
possible. E-mails sent to D-PHYS during the migration will be held back on the
sender’s e-mail servers. Already received mail will be still accessible via
IMAP or POP3.
Together with the mailing list migration, there will come a policy change with
regards to mailing lists:
All future mailing lists will be only "@lists.phys.ethz.ch" instead of
"@phys.ethz.ch" as before.
Already existing mailing lists will be reachable under both, old
"@phys.ethz.ch" or "@first.ethz.ch" as well as new "@lists.phys.ethz.ch"
addresses.
The web interface of the mailing lists will change from
https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist and
https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/admin/mailinglist to
https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/listinfo/mailinglist and
https://lists.phys.ethz.ch/admin/mailinglist. There will be redirects from the
old addresses. In future, https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/ will be for webmail
only.
If you use e-mail filter rules for one of those lists, please notice that in
all mailing list mail headers (i.e. all those headers starting with "List-" as
well as the "Sender" header) the list's hostname will change from phys.ethz.ch
to lists.phys.ethz.ch, too. Please adjust your filter rules appropriately.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Maintenance downtime of a group server'
Monday morning, February 8th 2010, we have to replace a broken system harddisk
on one of the group fileservers. This will cause a downtime between 07:00 and
approximately 07:30.
This will result in a short service interruption for all groupdrives!
To protect you from losing or corrupting any of your files, it is best to close
all open files on the group directories.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Maintenance Downtime of Mailserver on Monday
late afternoon'
To prepare the next big step in our migration to the new mail server we will
have a minor maintenance downtime of our SMTP server on Monday, the 1st of
February 2010, starting on 5pm. During the downtime it won't be possible to send
or receive new mails via SMTP nor will it be possible to use the mailing lists
administrative interface. Mails sent to the Department of Physics during the
downtime will be held back on the sending side and will be received afterwards.
Mails already stored on our IMAP or POP3 server are accessible during the
downtime though.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'WebDAV gateway to our file servers'
If you're on the road a lot, you might be familiar with our webhome service
which provides universal access to your home directory. While this can be a
life-saver in some cases, there are a few limitations: a) you only get access to
your home directory, b) it's only viable for single-file operations. The
protocol of choice for remote file access across public firewalled networks is
WebDAV. We are now happy to announce a WebDAV gateway to our file servers.
Should you be interested in using this service, please read our documentation
page.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Short maintenance downtimes of Terminal, Mail
and Authentication Server'
There will be a semi-urgent maintenance reboot of our mail server and our
terminal server "plimpy" today, Friday, 2009-Dec-04, at 6pm. So if you are using
one of our thin clients, please save your work and log out before 6pm. Expected
downtime durations: approximately 15 minutes for the terminal server "plimpy"
and approximately 30 minutes for the mail server
Additionally there will be a restart of our LDAP authentication database at the
same time. This can cause logins on managed workstations or connections to file
servers to fail temporarily, but should take no more than a minute or so.
