stuff on the cluster

[gilfoyle <ggilfoyl@mindspring.com>]

yo,

   the linux IS person, sasko stefanovski, has proposed some 
changes for the cluster. the main one he wants to implement 
now is to turn off all services to outside users except 
ssh and sftp. i don't think we are using anything outside
these two so unless you disagree i will tell him to do that.
the IS folks would also like to put the cluster behind a 
firewall because pscm1 uses an 'old' operating system. we
have to think about this first and consult with linux labs.
we also have to worry about transfer rates with a 
firewall in place. this won't happen for a while. how are
things going?

later
