With the introduction of Ubuntu 24.04 by C&CZ, it turned out that the uids/gids of some users had to be changed because they were too small. This was immediately rolled out on servers, since those are always powered on, but needed a workaround on Ubuntu client PCs. Today it became clear that this workaround ignored new accounts, so first year students and new employees couldn’t use Ubuntu clients. This has been fixed now and all C&CZ managed Ubuntu client PCs in computer labs and the Library of Science have been updated.

What most of these domains have in common is that they are hosted by the same service provider (mimecast.com). It appears to be something with the negotiation failing before the mail can be sent, which was no problem before as mails took another route after delivery failure. ...

After a network configuration update, we are currently experiencing issues with the Science VPN connections, resulting in no traffic passing through. We are investigating the cause of this issue. As an alternative, we recommend using EduVPN from SURF.
