robot subscribers
by Christian Zimmermann 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

I see daily the following in the RAS logs: 10:05:44 Philippos Philippos Philippos, - none - session (new-user) * login: AugustinosHolivy75(a)gmail.com * userdata file: /home/aras/acis/userdata/a/u/augustinosholivy75(a)gmail.com.xml * IP: 85.187.15.249 * sesid: 6bca5f6d Log [type] class - action description new-user * login: AugustinosHolivy75(a)gmail.com * file: /home/aras/acis/userdata/a/u/augustinosholivy75(a)gmail.com.xml * IP: 85.187.15.249 new-user * humanname: Philippos Philippos Philippos, - none - request - handled * screen: new-user request - handled * screen: new-user/additional Names changes, but are always identical for first, middle and last names, IPs change, emails change, but are always of hotmail/gmail/yahoo and have a composite name with some digits. It never gets past the first screen. To me this looks like some robot trying to register (much like what I see on our blog) in order to get posting priviledges. This is not something that we need to worry about as the following registration pages are very specific to us. But we should keep this in mind for any further development that registration should stay robot safe. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

between crises
by Thomas Krichel 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I think this crises has shown that is possible to build another (slave) root disk, and then basically exchange disks when the master disk fails. I propose to proceed with such an arrangement. CZ buys a new disk, puts it in there, in place of the current 80, and then we mirror every day all files from the master to the slave. In an emergency, we replace master and slave and we are done. In addition, we should keep an extrenal backup. One is now being kept on snefru. When we have a slave disk, the external backup can be made from the slave disk, saving I/O on the master.

I have not only launched it, I have set up a script that will launch rid at machine start. I would like to upgrade the webserver to apache2. On the other hand, I am not sure about the persistent perl. So maybe better to just leave it as is, or wait until Ivan comes along. Or I can test it a little later. Apache 1 is now obsolete. It needs to be replaced by apache2 either now, or in an extra downtime later. I am converting nep later today, can do ras too and test from the local machine. > Apache did not start. /etc/init.d/apache started just normal. The swap should go to /dev/sda2, I have set in up this way. I have reboot now. rid starts automatically, so does apache1. swap work, dmesg shows no service error, just tons of acpi gripes.

Thomas > will launch rid when he thinks everything is OK, and the DNS change > can be made then. I have installed the rid start script, I have moved mirrored users aacis and adrepec from /home to /opt, and I am in the process of backing up to snefru. The move of mirrored users from /home/ to /opt avoids these users being mirror. I haev updated the xslt library that was on hold. This library's recent versions work very well with the ACIS xslt code, I have had no problems on authorclaim. The next thing is to udgrade apache to apache2. I am starting with this now.

Ruggieri, Timothy writes > I was out sick most of last week and missed the excitement. Oh, you poor thing. > I can go take a look at Nebka today (Monday). I don't know what I > can do beyond fscking and rebooting again though. disk /dev/sda 80G needs to be replaced by the 140G disk. 1. Boot into single user mode. 2. Mount root disk read-only mount -o ro,remount /dev/sda1 3. Check disk with badblock check e2fsck -c -y /dev/sda1 4. reboot into single use 5. make sure sdb1 is mounted as /vol 6. rsync to /vol rsync -va --exclude /vol --exclude /proc --exclude /sys / /vol 7. install grub grub-install --root-directory /vol/boot/grub /dev/sdb1 8. shutdown machine, exchange disk sda and sdb. 9. fiddle with bios so that it boots from what was sdb, now sda. Good luck!

nebka down
by Christian Zimmermann 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

And once more a Saturday at 7:37. I am *not* going to campus this week-end. I could not work on the machine yesterday, as it continually had a load above 1. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

nebka work
by Christian Zimmermann 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

I will try to find time on Friday to work on nebka. I have found some instructions that should help. It will probably be in the afternoon. If load is still high at that time, I will postpone it to Monday. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
