Mice

I've replaced the serial mice on the OS cluster with brand new Belkin PS/2 three-button mice. I ran mouseconfig on the image, and changed the mouse type from "Generic serial" to "Generic PS/2", and turned off three-button emulation. After running force-update on all the machines, the mice worked fine.

n0

Dawit and I replaced the hard drive in n0 with the one from the old kleene. We reimaged the machine, and it appears to be working.

We also noticed that the monitor on n0 is not displaying the correct colors. We might have to replace it if we can't figure out what's wrong with it.

Printing

I have enabled printing from the OS cluster machines.

I compiled LPRng from sources, and copied the printcap file from the ACL image to the OS image.

FTP access

I have now enabled FTP access to the OS cluster controller using ProFTPd.

Old kleene

I've scrapped the old kleene for parts. We've got:

(1) IDE zip drive
(1) 4GB SCSI hard drive
(2) 128MB SDRAM modules
(1) PCI sound card
(1) Ultra3 SCSI card
(1) 3Com Ethernet NIC

The last three items are still in kleene.

The IDE zip drive has been used to replace the bad one in n2 in the OS cluster. One of the 128MB modules went into n2 to replace the 64MB module that was in n2.

Zip drive

I checked the report of a broken zip drive in the OS cluster, and found that it actually was a non-functioning hardware eject button. Using the software eject function works, though.
