Workshop Index
Topics:
This weeks issues are specifically CCN related, but if successful
should be rolled into future CSuite releases.
Plans to upgrade the system status report were discussed. Options
include segregating the more resource intensive items into sub-reports,
accessed through links on the main systat page. A link to display current
problems would also be desirable.
Topic List
Improved communication with users about system problems was discussed.
It was agreed that the message of the day (motd) was the best first line,
as
every user would see it whenever it changes.
Clive Bagley agreed to update the motd whenever he receives status
messages from those who administer the system. Ed Dyer will also
add info as appropriate.
Topic List
It was agreed that we need a log of administration activity on our
systems.
The proposed strategy was to create a su script that would store the
user's
reasons before actually running the su function. Chris Maxwell and Jamie
Fifield
would draft this su wrapper script.
Topic List
It has been discovered that /tmp is often filled with material that
is out of date or stored between sessions and left on the system.
The suggestion is to develop a cron job and a policy that
supports much more aggressive purging of /tmp
