Digi Driver and Software

I've gotten the Digi driver and software installed on Image.

For future reference, the files and documentation can be found at http://www.digi.com/support/productdetl.jsp?pid=2253&osvid=103 This is the download site for Fedora Core 2 packages, although there are packages for numerous Unices, minus *BSD.

I downloaded the kernel source from Red Hat because the documentation claimed to need it, and I followed the instructions about cleaning the version files (although the would have already been clean since it was a new download). So I guess they were just linking against it.

I installed using the SRPM since this is an RPM based distro. After doing the rpmbuild in /usr/src, the RPM it built was placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. I then installed this with rpm.

I could go on longer, but I'd just be reading the documentation.

Time sync on ACLs

I've placed a script in /etc/cron.hourly on all the ACLs that syncs the ACLs to ECS's NTP server using ntpdate. Hopefully this will fix our time skew problem.

Networking news

Dan, Aybars, and I have good preliminary news to report. I've gotten the fiber patches in, and shining a flashlight down the Dennis end of the fiber causes light to show up at the Noyes end, so it looks like the pairs we are using are intact. Aybars and Dan got all the ACLs and servers moved to the Summit 48, and everything else moved to the hubs. We're in good shape to pull fiber tomorrow and move the Summit 24 to the basement.
