Dear Container Admins,
A new pismere installer and openafs installer are now available. Early
testers may reboot their machines to perform final testing.
These installers will become the default installers for the domain Thursday
afternoon (August 7). For those of you that want more time for testing and
want to delay there is way to continue to use the older installers. Over
time, the older installers will become de-supported and you will need to
update.
In order to temporarily opt out of using the new installers, please send an
email to container-request@mit.edu, listing either the individual machines
or container names you want to opt out. We will add these machines or
containers to the block-pismere-rollout list.
The Machines/citrix-servers container has already been added to
block-pismere-rollout so that it will not take the new installers by default.
We will send another announcement Thursday afternoon when the change has
taken place. At that time you may reboot your machines to take the
update. We will not schedule a domain wide reboot at this time.
The following changes were made to the most recent installer:
1) The Kerberos for Windows merge module had a registry typo. This has been
fixed. This should only affect Server 2003 machines and XP machines that
have RDP enabled.
2) Another change to Leash and Kerberos 4 libraries that should not have
any user visible changes in the domain.
3) Another fix for the "add" command.
Separate from the installer, the renew command, which resides in DFS,
should now work correctly with both versions of AFS being used in the domain.
If you encounter any problems please remember to use sendbug, or send email
to pismere-bugs@mit.edu.
Please let us know your comments and concerns (public:
contact-container-admins@mit.edu, private: container-request@mit.edu).
