Weekly log #133 for week ending 10-03-1997

Fixed the modem-type parameter for port 6 on the Lantronix dial-up server. This is the port that is used for the football.
Got the two new Sun Ultra-1 workstations.
Moved Ojai out of Allan's office and began setting up one of the new Sun Ultras in there.

Weekly log #134 for week ending 10-10-1997

Set up the second new Ultra for Doug. This involved reinstalling the operating system and moving all of his files to the new machine.
Figured out how to enable a functional VMS-style terminal window on the new Sun workstations. This will allow Doug and Allan to still use these machines for VMS work.

There were some memory simms that were removed from Carizo hanging around, and we realized that these could be put into Ridge, so we did this on the 16th.
Attended the City of Beverly Hills disaster preparedness fair on Wednesday the 15th.
Roamed the Net collecting software tools for use on the new unix systems.
Installed a memory upgrade in Dave Wald's Sun.

The packet radio used for paging off of Tejon broke this week. We figured out which radio and modem it used, but cycling power on them did not work. Kate talked to Steve in Pennsylvania, and he gave us a contact at Airtouch, but we were not able to resolve the problem. Until this is fixed or Steve comes back, all paging will go through Bigone.
Put a new disk into Wwolf and moved the operating system onto it. This is part of Bob's plan to build an experimental online system.
Physical plant starting installing the wiring for CITnet 2000 in the telemetry room.
Set up a way for the pager processes on Bigone to send a page if they die.

Looked up information about AIT and DLT tapes for possible use for PackRat.
Experimented with ways to automatically move files between unix systems.
Set up ssh [secure shell] and began testing. This is supposed to provide a secure alternative to the rsh and rcp commands on unix.
Contacted Vangard about the status of Lisa's memory simm that we sent back to them several weeks ago. They were very apologetic that it had fallen through the cracks.
Started learning how to set up the Sun disk automounter to allow for automatic NFS disk mounting between machines.
