Syscom Todo

These are things that syscom should do eventually:

General

• Prepare for `sodium-benzoate` upgrades/replacement.
  • new-mirror has like 30 disk shelves so we can just do a live sync on the 2TB disks and then insert the 4TB ones
• Establish remote syslog
• Get UPS monitoring working across multiple systems
• `/users` backups
• Disaster recovery plan
• Put backup container for authentication onto cobalamin
• Get an IP/KVM for the machine room which doesn't suck?
• Sort through keyboards in the office
• Clean up wiki vandalism
• Fix debian.csclub, aka our personal Debian repo which serves the CEO package
  • Fix ceo versioning, which seems to be different on every machine it's installed on...
• Fix audio auth: audio is both a system group and an LDAP group and this has bad consequences for audio authorization
• Centralized repo for various configs: NFS, PAM auth with kerb, /etc/hosts/, LDAP and Kerb5, routing/interfaces files
  • LDAP login is currently broken on glomag, it is password with root only
  • Private subnet routing is broken on every machine except corn-syrup (see 'ethcrazy')
• Update hosts list (10.15.134.WTF?)
• MySQL backups

Wiki Updates

• Update the following wiki pages
  • Backups
  • Ceo, also related to "debian.csclub is broken"
  • somehow merge Conserver/Serial Connections/Console Configuration
  • Cscbot
  • DNS
  • Hardware
  • Machine List
  • Mirror
  • Music and possibly link to Pulseaudio
  • MySQL mentions a-f replica
  • NFS/Kerberos should probably by merged with an existing page
  • NetApp
  • Netboot (might want to merge with New CSC Machine)
  • OID Assignment and UID/GID Assignment should be merged with LDAP and replaced with a redirect
  • Merge Point Of Sale and Point of Sale System
  • Projects
  • Scratch
  • Merge Sun 2900 and Sun 2900 Strategy Guide
  • Add more info to Switches
  • Virtualization
  • Webcams needs a serious update
  • Wireless

When in the Machine Room

• Set up binaerpilot.
• Set up rainbowdragoneyes
• Pick up paperclip to install a new OS
• Locate electrons
  • Electrons, aka the giant power bar, is sitting somewhere *near* the rack. I can't remember why it was taken down. -ehashman
• Make sure that the IPMI/console connections are correct, up-to-date, and working.
• Fix psilodump's and aspartame's IPs and routing
  • psilodump should not be routable outside aspartame. This is currently accomplished by fuckery. This *should* be fixed to use the net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter sysctl.
• Look into expanding /scratch and using RAID using spare disks in the office.

Science Machine Room

• Set up remote syslog2
