"integrate" list retired

Tagged:

I've retired the "integrate@lists.ncsu.edu" mailing list, as there hasn't been an integration services team for some time.  If you were using this for anything, my apologies, and please start using windows-services@lists.ncsu.edu

ISO blog changes

Tagged:

Folks,

I've made some hopefully cosmetic changes to the ISO blog:

  1. There is now a "post to blog" entry on the navigation, to get it up top and easily accessible.
  2. The "Service Teams" RSS feed (right side) no longer includes events from the ISO blog itself.  We've already got recent items from there on the main pane.
  3. Theres is a "Teams" menu item along with Blogs/Docs/Forums for quick navigation to our legion of beloved service team sites.

 

CNAME created for uni03ps

Folks,

At the request of the folks in the WolfTech active directory, I've added a CNAME to uni03ps of

wolfprint.ncsu.edu

This is so that existing clients that have .ncsu.edu in their DNS search path can find it more easily.

For the spring semester, we're no longer using the Novell Pcounter system for Windows workstation printing.  Instead, uni03ps is running Samba to provide access to the lprng printers via the Microsoft RPCs.

Novell SLP servers now more closely monitored in Nagios

I've modified the nagios function "slp" to include more than just monitoring the service location protocol port.

Since our SLP servers are also Novell servers, function "slp" now monitors the usual Netware stuff, namely abends, cpu, drive space for SYS, login enabled, and nds database (open or closed).

To accompany the new checks, I've updated our playbook documentation to include SLP servers.
