Change in services

Following a major restructuring, your home directories and other account metadata should now be available again. Please report any problems to grid.sysadmin@nikhef.nl

Known issues

• The update of all worker nodes to CentOS4 and gLite 3.1 on Wednesday August 15, 2007 did cause some collateral damage that has now been repaired. All worker nodes should now be available again, with CentOS4 and gLite-3.1. Note for VOs with locally installed software: your software installation and any tags you publish will NOT be affected by this upgrade. It is up to each VO to manage software across this upgrade.

Planned changes
