GNOME Sysadmin Summary - May 2005 =================================
On Monday 2nd, 'hukka.axu.tm' was replaced with 'ns.axu.tm' in the whois data for 'gnome.org', after a server change by one of the independent secondary DNS providers. On Saturday 7th, Jonathan announced 'blogs.gnome.org'. He wrote up some notes on the sysadmin website, and posted more notes on the gnome-infrastructure list. Job well done! On Tuesday 10th, a couple of people reported that one of the CVS mirrors was out-of-sync since about April 26th. Ramons was contacted and he fixed the problem. Apparently, the /cvs partition on that machine had filled up. On Tuesday 17th, German supplied a list of postfix header checks which Christian applied to block the deluge of German nazi spam that was going around at the time. On Thursday 19th, Christian added a DNS CNAME entry for an independent Indonesian GNOME community website - http://www.id.gnome.org/ On Saturday 21st, Christian added a ServerAlias for http://planete.gnomefr.org/ On Sunday 22nd, Owen added a DNS CNAME entry at the request of Luis Villa for an independent BitTorrent mirror, run by Seth Vidal - http://torrent.gnome.org/ On Thursday 26th, Matt rebooted the servers to apply some kernel updates. On Thursday 26th, Christian delegated the 'conference.guadec.gnome.org' DNS zone to a server at GUADEC at the request of Tim Ney. On Friday 27th, Jeff added a couple of German-language mailing lists, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], at the request of Murray Cumming. On Saturday 28th, Ross added a cheap crontab hack to keep the perms on /var/log/httpd so that gnomeweb members can examine the web logs. On Monday 30th, Ross built and installed some subversion-1.2 RPMs on container, so potential migration tools (cvs2svn) could be tested and evaluated. On Tuesday 31st, Ross removed 'widow.golder.org' from the list of secondary NS, as it is due to be shut down in a few days. -- Ross _______________________________________________ Gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
