Retirement of SSH Secure Shell

by

Vendor support has ended for the version of the SSH Secure Shell on IST’s software.berkeley.edu. and EECS’s winsww.eecs and hermes.eecs. At this time the product does not meet campus Minimum Security Standards and may increasingly become a potential target for attack.

IST has announced they will end distribution of this Windows SSH client on October 1, 2007. IDSG is announcing the same.

Effective October 1, 2007, SSH Secure Shell will no longer be available on winsww.eecs or hermes.eecs.

This only affects the Windows SSH client. Vendor-provided command line ssh clients are not affected on Solaris, Linux, or MacOS. Nor does this affect the SSH service on argus or any other servers.

IRIS is weighing alternative replacements, and a recommendation will be forthcoming.

Emergency Reboot of IRIS Webserver

by

The IRIS website server (iris.eecs.berkeley.edu) was rebooted at around 11:40am today, due to unforseen complications arising from the emergency network outage at 10:40am. Immediately prior to the reboot, you may have been unable to log in to network or roster database applications, and experienced a general slowness problem. IRIS staff apologizes for inconvenience. If you are still experiencing problems with this server, please contact help@eecs immediately.

Emergency Network Outage at 10:40am

by

Our old firewall is struggling under the current load. As a result, we will be switching the main server net (169.229.60.0/25) to the new infrastructure. This should be a very brief outage. We will do this emergency measure at 10:40. We regret the inconvenience this may cause.

Network Disruption

by

From about the time of the routing changes this morning in Soda, some systems have had trouble with NFS mounting of partitions from coeus and project. The problem appears to be isolated to specific systems. The problem does not affect all systems moved to a new router this morning. The problem does not appear to be reproducible on all systems on any specific network.

At least one affected client machine seems to be fixed after a reboot.

Staff are continuing to investigate this issue.

Network Outages in Soda Hall

by

There will be some brief network outages in **Soda Hall** on Thursday morning between 07:00–07:45. We will be changing the routing for the following subnets:

* 2nd floor
* 128.32.42.0/24
* 3rd floor
* 128.32.34.0/24
* 128.32.112.0/24
* 4th floor
* 128.32.37.0/24
* 128.32.132.0/24


I expect the outages to occur one at a time and each should be less than just a few minutes each as we transition the routes from the old router to the new infrastructure. I regret any inconvenience this may cause.
