Solve quota problems on bosheks

<example> Message 198: From root@bosheks.nikhef.nl Mon Sep 18 12:28:09 2006 Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 12:28:08 +0200 From: root@bosheks.nikhef.nl (Cron Daemon) To: root@bosheks.nikhef.nl Subject: Cron <root@bosheks> quota -v dzero004 | mail -s 'quota on bosheks' a03@nikhef.nl X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>

quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format. </example>

SARA VOMS server certs needed

These have been added by hand, but should be installed automatically by quattor.

Orphan process watchdog

Need cron job on WNs that check for orphaned processes and kill them. The idea would be to determine which pool accounts on the node have valid jobs running on the node; processes found for any other pool account would be killed.

Create fixed append-only CentOS mirror for NDPF

CentOS Updates, like their RHEL counterparts, roll over a few weeks after every release, so that the old RPMs are no longer available. The CentOS repository should be mirrored on stal locally in a way that this does not happen.

Check pool accounts

Apparently things can go wrong if we have e.g.

dteamsm01

and

dteam001

as pool accounts for 'dteamsm' and 'dteam' ... because 'dteamsm01' is a valid pool account for .dteam. Check and repair.

VOBOX installation

VObox pool account support.

Update of Resource Broker

See message on LCG-ROLLOUT

R-GMA GIN Update

See message on LCG-ROLLOUT

ganglia monitoring multicast

ganglia does not yes work across the various subnet due to some off multicast problems (although deel has the proper "router pim" and other magic statement). Need to investigate on deel and monitor some of the multicast traffic.

R-GMA updates
