Re: RT down?

Hi all, Where are we with the RT CIS load balancer plan? Can we schedule a meeting with the decision maker? I think Max and I could have our side ready to go in less than a week. All we need to do is clone the rt vm, and once CIS is setup point our mailhosts at it. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Max Trefonides" <maxadam(a)mcs.anl.gov> > To: "Ken Raffenetti" <raffenet(a)mcs.anl.gov> > Cc: Core-sysadmins(a)mcs.anl.gov, "Craig Stacey" <stace(a)mcs.anl.gov> > Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2013 6:25:42 PM > Subject: Re: RT down? > > And it needs to be proxied through namby/pamby .... > > -- > Max Trefonides > MCS Systems > maxadam(a)mcs.anl.gov > > On Feb 17, 2013, at 6:24 PM, Max Trefonides <maxadam(a)mcs.anl.gov> > wrote: > > > Oh.

email cleanup

In working through some configs, I see the following domains as being possibly set up for getting mail here. Yet looking into the logs, I don't see them being used for over 6 months. Are they needed? expected use in the future? migrated elsewhere? other? kbase-group.org mobedac.org seq-lib.org ogce.org accessgrid.org The accessgrid.org stuff now appears to have MX records pointing to hostedemail or sourceforge. The ogce.org stuff now appears to have MX records pointing to google. Just looking if these need to be rolled into an upcoming system upgrade or not. My fear is that leaving things in that have moved, like ogce.org and accessgrid.org, is going to cause problems in the future with internal mail attempting to go to the wrong place. The same is true for DNS hosting on accessgrid.org and ogce.org The whois data points them off to: accessgrid.org: Name Server:NS1.HOVER.COM Name Server:NS2.HOVER.COM Name Server:NS3.HOVER.COM ogce.org Name Server:NS65.WORLDNIC.COM Name Server:NS66.WORLDNIC.COM --Gene

The problem is more an awareness of who is in the confluence-users group, and that it's not MCS only. -- Craig (mobile) -----Original Message----- From: Dan Olson [dolson(a)mcs.anl.gov] Received: Thursday, 14 Feb 2013, 3:39PM To: Craig Stacey [stace(a)mcs.anl.gov] CC: core-admins(a)mcs.anl.gov, raffenet(a)mcs.anl.gov Subject: Re: Confluence permissions Are we able to restrict the default view permission to mcsz or something of the sort?

Agreed. Users should be aware that "confluence-users" means anyone who can use confluence. Can we make any modifications to the site creation page to make note of this? -- Craig (mobile) -----Original Message----- From: Ken Raffenetti [raffenet(a)mcs.anl.gov] Received: Thursday, 14 Feb 2013, 2:13PM To: core-admins(a)mcs.anl.gov [core-admins(a)mcs.anl.gov] Subject: Confluence permissions I had a chat with a user about confluence permissions and some concerns we may want to bring to users' attention. Specifically, the confluence-users group. This is the group that gets access to a space by default if the user doesn't check the 'private' box when creating a space. This group is not only MCS people. It also includes DOE program managers, employees of other labs and various other external collaborators. We should remind users of this, as they may incorrectly assume confluence-users is MCS only. Users cannot check what the members of a group are themselves. I figure an email blast and some additional text in the Confluence resource in userbase should help clear things up. Thoughts? -- Ken Raffenetti Systems Administration Associate MCS Division - Argonne National Laboratory
