[auton-users] Important OpenVPN & DNS update

[predragp at andrew.cmu.edu]

Dear Autonians,


Today at 4:00 PM EST old OpenVPN server on old firewall LOCK has been
shutdown.
That means that as of today 12 Linux desktops which I mange use new
OpenVPN server
running on Areas as well as new DNS servers.

Due to the fact that LDAP is not available /auton shares are not usable.
Also old
computing nodes which are routed through LOCK has to be access through
LOP1 and LOP2
since the firewall is preventing spoofing. However you should see the huge
speed
increase in name resolution.

LOV3, LOV4, and LOW1 are available as usual.

I am hopping to finish LDAP by the end of this week and have all computing
nodes
rebuild by next Wednesday (New file servers will become available as soon
as I
turn on LDAP).


Most Kind Regards,
Predrag


P.S. As a bonus the software on all desktops is now updated, GCC 4.8.2 is
available
locally /opt/rh/devtoolset-2. I also updated local copies of MATLAB to
2014b on
most desktops.
