<p><em>Migration to Debian Jessie</em></p>
<p>On 2015-03-18 the CIP will migrate to the newest version of Debian ("Jessie").
Therefore the computers will presumably not be useable for the entire day.</p>
<p>The servers ircbox, faui01, faui06, faui0sr0 will be updated as well and
therefore reinstalled. Existing crontabs will be migrated.</p>
<p>We're offering additional consultation hours on Thursday and Friday,
starting at 14:00. The location will be displayed in front of room
00.157-113 as usual.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> The majority of the computers have been updated and are ready to

<p><em>Security problems due to the heartbleed bug</em></p>
<p>TL;DR: change ALL your passwords</p>
<p>The CS Departement's CIP-Pool was also affected by the so-called <a href="http://heartbleed.com">heartbleed bug</a>. The Rechenzentrum has also published some <a href="http://blogs.fau.de/rrze/2014/04/10/heartbleed-bug-sicherheitsloch-in-der-openssl-implentierung/">recommendations and comments</a>. Affected server certificates have been swapped out, all software has been updated.</p>
<p>For you, as user, this means: If you are using one of the following services of the CIP-Pool or
have been using it at some point since 2011, you have to change the passwords you used:</p>
<ul>
<li>Email via IMAP or SMTP-AUTH (cippop/cipmail/faui03)</li>
<li>OpenVPN-Service "OpenFAUpn"</li>
<li><a href="https://redmine.cs.fau.de">Redmine</a></li>
<li><a href="http://waffel.informatik.uni-erlangen.de">Waffel</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Redmine and Waffel each have a separate password database, you can reset those passwords
on the respective websites. Your general CIP-Pool password can be reset via <code>kpasswd</code>.
If you have set a separate service password for the aforementioned VPN or mail
services you can reset those passwords via <code>/local/bin/servicepasswd -s vpn</code>
and <code>/local/bin/servicepasswd -s mail</code> respectively. With <code>/local/bin/servicepasswd -l</code> you
can check if you have set service passwords, in case you are unsure.</p>
<p>When in doubt, reset all your passwords.</p>
<p>For the OpenFAUpn service the server certificate has also changed. This means that you need
to download the new <a href="https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/documentation/openfaupn/openfaupn.conf">configuration</a>
and the new <a href="https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/documentation/openfaupn/fau-ca-chain.crt">certificate
chain</a> and
install them. You need to do this <em>before</em> you use your freshly reset password
with the VPN for the first time.</p>
<p>All over the internet, lots and lots of services and websites have been
affected. If you have re-used any password on any two websites or services
anywhere (which we strongly advise you not to do), you have to reset all those
passwords. You should also try to use separate passwords for each service in
the future.</p>
<p>When in doubt, just reset all your passwords, and set them all different.</p>

<p><em>New fire safety regulations</em></p>
<p><strong>Note: Obviously this was posted on April Fools' Day</strong></p>
<p>Due to ongoing revisement of our fire safety procedures, we hereby announce the
following change in our rules.</p>
<p>To reduce the amount of flammable material contained in a room, only
non-flammable garments will be allowed henceforth. Due to various benefits to
health, comfort and radiation protection we recommend, depending on your taste
and weather conditions, the use of Tremolite, Carbonite or aluminum foil.
Please also refrain from bringing any harmful chemicals such as
Dihydrogenmonoxide to avoid the formation of flammable gasses through
thermolysis.</p>
<p>Furthermore, we would like to announce a number of openings for the exulted
position of "sniffer (f/m)". Your task will be to survey the surrounding air
for byproducts of exothermic reactions and initiate emergency procedures on
detection thereof. Similarly, the position of "runner (f/m)" is available for
sporting individuals able to cover the distance from the CS building to the
Erlangen fire station in less than 10 minutes, should the diesel backup power
unit and thereby the fire alarm system fail unexpectedly.</p>

<p><em>Re-opening of currently closed rooms</em></p>
<p>Currently ongoing work to upgrade fire safety installations is scheduled to be finished by 2013-04-15. If everything goes according to plan,
the CIP-Pools and lecture rooms that are currently closed will be reopened in time for the new semester.</p>

<p><em>Power supply tests on March 20th</em></p>
<p>The backup power supply was repaired, so it will get tested on Wednesday, March 20th, starting at 7 am.
Again, the CIP pool will not be available during this time, as we will shut down
everything until the tests are over (hopefully around 9 am).</p>

<p><em>No pulseaudio, only alsa</em></p>
<p>Due to many sound system problems, pulseaudio was removed on all CIP systems.
You now can use plain alsa. This should work with all applications out of the
box. You can set the volume using alsamixer from your command line.</p>
<p>Please <a href="https://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/contactUs/eMail.en.html">let us know</a> if you still experience any problems
with sound.</p>

<p><em>Windows Machines</em></p>
<p>We migrated our Windows domain from NT4 to Active Directory (thanks to Samba 4).
Nothing should change for you, but you will have to reset your password via '/local/ciptools/bin/setsambapw' from your UNIX account.</p>
