[ISG News] LTSP Clients And The LTSP Server "plimpy" Upgrade
by sengun 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

ISG News has posted a new item, 'LTSP Clients And The LTSP Server "plimpy" Upgrade' We will upgrade our LTSP server "plimpy" the next Wednesday, 24 June 2009 starting at 7 pm. Please save all your open documents and log out until that time. The machine should be ready again the next morning. You don't have to back up your data on /scratch since we will do that. Find the details on the software changes here. While performing the upgrade to Debian "lenny" we will switch to a 64 bit kernel since finally also Adobe flash player, the last missing app, is now available for 64 bit Linux. Unfortunately Adobe still doesn't ship 64 bit Linux versions of Adobe Reader (formerly Acrobat Reader). You can still fill Adobe Reader PDF forms and even create and edit PDF documents on the Windows RDP Server "ramora" which you can access via the ETH Zurich menu, Microsoft Office (or the full-screen login, see above link).

[ISG News] Beware of phishing e-mails

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Beware of phishing e-mails' Of course 'UPGRADE YOUR ETHZ E-Mail-Konto.' is a phishing attempt. And not a bad one at that. The German is halfway correct and they even used different From: and Reply-To: addresses. But still: no administrator worth her title would ever ask for a password. Please delete.

[ISG News] Short Maintenance Downtime of D-PHYS Authentication Server
by Axel Beckert 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Short Maintenance Downtime of D-PHYS Authentication Server' There will be a short maintenance downtime of our authentication server this evening at 7pm. This means that you won't be able to log in to any managed D-PHYS workstation or D-PHYS service for about 5 minutes. Existing login sessions should survive the downtime, so you don't need to log out, although it's not a bad idea either.
