Some users have had some difficulties authenticating to some wireless WLANs. EECS-Secure in particular is an issue. EECS-Open may or may not be an issue. EECS and AirBears are not a problem at this time. We are currently investigating the RADIUS server as the root of the problem. Hopefully we will have more info tomorrow.

Home Directory Downtime
home.eecs will go down briefly (a minute or two) twice on Saturday (03/07). The first downtime will be around noon, and the second will probably happen within the hour. This is to replace some failing hardware.
Clients that access home.eecs via Network File System (NFS) should not be affected by this scheduled maintenance. Clients that use Common Internet File System (CIFS), such as Windows and MacOS machines, may notice a disconnection (and should re-connect automatically).

Jabber Unavailable Outside EECS Networks
Jabber chat service was unavailable to clients outside the EECS networks for about two hours this morning as traffic was being blocked by the EECS border firewall.
This was due to the IP for jabber.eecs.berkeley.edu changing earlier without the relevant firewall rules being updated in the firewall. My apologies for the oversight, the firewall has since been updated and outside connections are working again.

Brief Downtime for Multiple IRIS Services
The EECS Department website, FTP server, Windows Terminal Server (winterm), the IRIS website, Jabber, and Sympa (mailing list) services will all experience brief periods of unavailability beginning at 7:00am on Wednesday, February 25, 2009, possibly lasting until 8:00am.
The servers hosting these services will be changing IP addresses during this time as their current subnet (128.32.139.0/24) is being repurposed. DNS will be updated at 7:00am as well, so you shouldn’t need to make any changes to client applications unless you’ve been accessing any of these services directly by their IP rather than by their DNS name.
