Linux login servers: upgrade and addition
This post is over 5 years old, it may be out of date.
The operating system of the general purpose Linux login server lilo
(formally porthos.science.ru.nl) has been upgraded to Fedora
11. Also a second Linux login
server named stitch (formally lijfwacht.science.ru.nl) is now
available. Lilo and stitch are identical as far as the software is
concerned but stitch has newer, more powerful hardware (8 cores, 2.5
GHz each, 8GB internal memory). In case of a problem with one of these
servers the other one serves as backup. These changes were initiated
because of a security issue on lilo before the upgrade and agree with
our goal to eliminate the old Solaris login servers solo and solost
eventually. For more info, see the servers
page.
