  • Things are looking good on albert. NTP building succeeds.
  • pogo:~windl/.ssh -> maccarony:~windl/.ssh
• 03/22/03
  • I have performed tests using memtest86 that confirm that one of albert's SIMMs is bad. I have removed the offending ram, which has reduced albert from 128 to 64 MB. This should solve all the crashing problems we've been having, I hope. It does not fix albert's problems talking to boombah.
• 03/21/03
  • windl has been added to maccarony. He'll need to see me to get his password.
  • Big changes have been afoot on the web. www.ntp.org is now XHTML and php-powered.
  • Running a session of memtest86 on albert today. It's finding scores of ram faults. Albert will need new ram before it can be reliable again.
• 03/13/03
  • Harlan clobbered /usa/majordomo/lists/{hackers.posters,webdudes.posters} yesterday while editing them. I have submitted an undelete request.
  • I did extensive editing of maccarony's httpd.conf file. you can now go to http://ntp.org/ and it silently redirects to http://www.ntp.org/ without giving you the lousy "This is the test page, go here!" page. Also, http://maccarony.ntp.org/ will point you at the test site now.
• 03/11/03
  • The tcp_time_wait_interval on maccarony has been set from 240000 to 60000:
    

    [conner@pts/4.maccarony 3:06pm] ~# ndd /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval
    240000
    [conner@pts/4.maccarony 3:07pm] ~# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 60000
    [conner@pts/4.maccarony 3:07pm] ~# ndd /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval
    60000
    

• 03/10/03
  • ntp.org is hosted on maccarony now. We should be off huey. We're still working on hooking up cvs and the like.
• 03/09/03
  • Note to all unwary travelers: Maccarony's apache is jailed in /usa/www. This means that it won't work properly unless you, essentially start it up with /etc/init.d/httpd. Don't just use apachectl to fire it up, because you'll unjail it and that's not good.
• 03/05/03
  • maccarony has been upgraded to an ultra-1.
  • pogo:/pogo/cvs has been duplicated to maccarony:/cvs. We're working on user/group permissions for it.
  • groups "webdudes" and "dlmgroup" have been added to /etc/group on maccarony, in addition to adding conner to "root" and "ntp".
• 03/03/03
  • conner and kostecke added to maccarony's majordomo group by stenn.
