FYI, I fixed a DCM bug specific to the decstation that was causing
errors like:
Jan 27 02:11:02 <17892> DCM updating AMELIA.MIT.EDU:nfs: Kerberos ticket expired
which were actually timeouts when we were failing to contact the nfs
server.
The errors yesterday of the form:
Jan 27 11:31:01 <1082> Arguments not unique returned from update_user_account.
were because the reg_svr wasn't dealing gracefully with someone
selecting a username that belonged to an existing account that didn't
have a kerberos principal. This too has been fixed.
Finally, the other errors:
Jan 27 16:22:13 <22398> Moira server encountered INGRES ERROR 40100
were due to a problem in the incremental update processing for quota
operations, and a fix is in testing.
When we get database errors like the last one, they can be debugged
easily now by anyone with dbadmin privileges. The new query,
_set_debug_level can be used to turn on Ingres query tracing and find
out exactly what the offending SQL statement is. Just use mrtest to
do a "qy _sdl 87", repeat the offending query, and then turn it off
with "qy _sdl 23". Do not leave things at a high debug level for too
long or we risk filling up the disk with log file.
Also, there is now a complete test Moira setup on the machine SOS that
we can use for debugging problems.
