Fwd: Crypto server status
by Dan Olson 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Update: Cryptocard is sending me some troubleshooting steps to perform. One of them is to restart replication using their method which will require an outage of about 45 minutes. I'm implementing a workaround for the current situation as follows: The crypto server will send mail to a mailing list consisting of the crypto server operators when it disables any corrupt token. The monitor script will start a validation process when a token is detected as corrupt which will correct the checksum so the token will be visible in the console, marked disabled. When we receive the mails we can mark the token enabled, which should allow the user to successfully logon without reinitializing the token. The best window for the downtime before the break would be late this evening, if we can't get the downtime this evening, I recommend using the workaround until the new year. In its current state our exposure to this issue appears to be limited to less than 10 users per week. I will be checking the disabled token emails at least daily over the break. Also, if anyone has any issues over the break I will be local, and I can be reached directly at 630-324-0000. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Olson" <deolson(a)mcs.anl.gov> To: "core-admins" <core-admins(a)mcs.anl.gov> Cc: "Jini Ramprakash" <ramprakash(a)zimbra.mcs.anl.gov>, "Robert R.

Cleaning Crew
by Bryant Fortson 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Craig, the cleaning crew wants to know if they should be wiping down keyboards and monitors(along with the computers). I'd say yes but they need to factor in cleaning agents/towels that won't harm the monitors. Can you give Jim an definitive answer on this? Bryant Fortson MCS Systems fortson(a)mcs.anl.gov

Construction/Digging in the Rock Garden

I'm not sure who to talk to but there is a construction crew digging up the rock garden and there is dust everywhere. I can't believe this is good for the computers or the people who have to sit here. -- Bryant Fortson MCS Systems Fortson(a)mcs.anl.gov 630-252-3084

My son fell into an upside down folding chair and passed out. I think all is well, but we will probably be at the doctors most of the afternoon. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055
