AFS: Athena Janitor, on a cleaning spree
daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (David Krikorian)

Date: Wed, 22 Oct 1997 12:28:07 -0400
From: David Krikorian <dkk@MIT.EDU>
To: athena-outage@MIT.EDU
After every mass-deactivation of Athena accounts, there are many
inconsistencies left in AFS. To clean up these inconsistencies, we
run a program we call the Athena Janitor, which runs all over the
athena.mit.edu AFS cell, cleaning up messes wherever it finds them.
We will be running the Janitor over the next couple of days.
(See /mit/ops/services/afs.backup/doc/cleanacl for Janitor details.)
SCHEDULE:
The Janitor is already running. It will take about 2 days.
REASON:
Security.
SERVICES:
AFS and Expunging.
IMPACT:
- Expunging will not run for the next two days.
- Obsolete ACL entries (a number vs. a username) will go away.
- "system:janitor" will temporarily be on directory ACLs.
