The switch to the new software is done. It may still take about 24 hours till all DNS entries are updated. If you encounter any real technical problems send a mail to techteam@scoutlink.net

If you just do not know how to use a new function or things like that send a mail to hatt@scoutlink.net

Hi there,

All of you have now had the opportunity to test the new network and some
of you have already done so. It is now time to switch to the new

The switch will happen in this week (Starting from today (july 7th 2010)
till next thursday). There is no exact date as we still need to do some
preparations.

network. Here is some information for you. Please also send this
information out to your users:

* New Server Names: Servers are no longer named in a country scheme. They
all now have names of trees. This is just a simple naming convention.

Sometimes there are strange, or almost shocking messages if you login on servers that are provided for ScoutLink. But thats real hard stuff:

Message from syslogd@local at Tue Apr 13 15:16:18 2010 ...
local kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold


Message from syslogd@local at Tue Apr 13 15:16:18 2010 ...
local kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode

This happened while compiling a software module. To not kill the machine i stopped compiling and started some minutes later again.

Currently our mailsystem is not working. Reason is a hardware failure on the server we use for it. The Backup system also has some issues atm.

We are working together with the datacenter staff to get this problem fixed very soon. If everything works well our system should be back in about 24 hours from now (13.12.2009- 18:44).
