GPS-synchronized time server
http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1219668197
We run 3 NTP servers to keep our network synchronized. However, they
were all [1]strata 2+ and two of them experienced hardware problems
lately. Instead of replacing them with [2]Meinbergs, we decided to
build GPS-controlled NTP servers based on our trusty [3]alix boards.
[4]Details are here.
time[12].ethz.ch now provide NTP time with ms accuracy.

Maintenance reboot on plimpy (LTSP terminal server)
http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1219393010
Routine maintenance requirements prompt us to schedule a reboot of
plimpy, our LTSP terminal server, on Saturday, August 23, around 2300.
We strive to minimize user impact by synchronizing the reboot with the
current relocation of ITP, but some users might still be affected.
Please make sure to have all your data saved by Saturday evening if
you're using an alix thin client. If you experience any problems after
Sunday morning, try power cycling the thin client first. We apologize
for any inconvenience.

On the upcoming Saturday, the 16th of August 2008 we will upgrade the
operating system of the mail server of the Department of Physics. This

prevent any loss of mail, we will disable most mail services during
this time.
