The State of Things

OK, here’s where we’re at:

These are the key services that are needed to get agora moved to the new system:

  • radius
    • This is the service that authenticates dialup users
    • For various reasons, I need to change the type of software used for this, which means porting some custom scripting needed for the two dedicated connections still remaining
  • dns
    • Need to move all the domains hosted on agora over to “aggie” (temporary name of the new system)
  • web
    • Need to move all the web sites currently hosted on agora over
      1. create new names (”www2″) for each site, pointed at the new server
      2. content is already being mirrored on the new server
      3. have users verify that sites work on new server
      4. repoint primary name (”www”) to new server
  • mail
    • outgoing mail currently operational with postfix
    • incoming mail filtered with amavisd/clamav/spamassassin
    • need to configure hosted domains so mail for them is accepted and routed properly
    • courier imap/pop server installed, need to verify config and operation
    • shell mail clients (mutt, pine) need to be verified with the new server (specifically that they’re setup to use imap by default)
  • mailman
    • The mail lists that are hosted on agora need to be copied over and operation verified
    • forwarding aliases need to be setup until the domain is repointed
  • documentation
    • Need to update documentation for configuring outlook express and thunderbird on Win2K/XP and Mac OSX for use with the new server
    • Need to document process for obtaining digital certificate and encourage users to do so (not critical for migration)

That’s all! ;-)
