The Waterloo Nexus Advisory Group agenda April 17 2002

9:30 MC-1058

  • NetApps and Nexus. NetApps should be converted to use Nexus auth for any faculties using Nexus. Will require a samba system to support Waterloo Polaris also. Schedule for work ? (Bruce)
  • The NetApp future. Software support for the F720 ends June 2003. Implications ? Are there any faculties that could imagine sharing the cost of a more powerful netapp base, and moving their existing shelves to it ? Implications : uid/gid syncs, shared management issues... (Bruce)
  • h/w upgrades for Nexus. Schedule of when each Faculty hopes to be "Nexus ready" (Bruce)
  • Nexus desktop. We're thinking of adding a web tool to change .forward, .vacation.msg, etc. But it may not work for all Faculties. Better to leave it off, or have comments on the web page ? (ie. see the password tool on Nexus. For Math and ES, it points to other instructions etc) Also, possibly an IMP webmail link. (Bruce)
