David Will be slow....
Test CentOS 5 David Not high priority, VDT 1.8.x supports RHEL 5 now. Daniel In use at SAPAC (test), VPAc(test) and iVEC (test). iVEC have some issues.
Gridpulse and Expired Certs David Grid Pulse needs to be able to check for and warn about host certs that are approaching expiration. Darran sample concept script is written, sent to QUT for further testing.
26/10/2007 A number of team members have suggested code but so far no one has tried it put it into the gridpulse script, DRB.

Documentation Review Daniel Review twiki documentation, search all topics and restructure if necessary by keyword:
1. mds/glue/mip, 2. gateways/xen, 3. myproxy/cert, 4. network/firewall, 5. testing/inca

David David, 12/11/2007 http://portals.grid.apac.edu.au/astroregistry appears to be a QUT IP address - 131.181.86.100 but no longer responds.
Ashley, 12/11/2007 - thats our (QUT) ngportal machine, believe it was shutdown some time ago, no use at the time. David - could we get it going again ? Maybe with Will's help ?
Certificate RAO Reminder Ryan Fraser Create Script/Cron Job on CA to e-mail certificate applicants telling them they need to go see an RAO to get their certificate request approved if their certificate request sits unapproved for a week. Chris Chris has written a script that e-mails help@arcs.org.au as to certificate requests that have been waiting up to 3 days to be approved. rt still needs to be altered so that only relevant parties Y are notified of certs.
Options -
* Y is RT queue that has all RAOs subscribed and CA Operators.
* Y is an RT queue that has a mailing list containing all RAOs. In this case they cannot reply to RT but don't need to have RT credentials.
* Y is just the CA Operators who will personally chase it up.
08/11/2007 - Chris is waiting on rt queue to be created.
Package nggums Daniel Cox Package nggums and configure auth tool to run on 443 and update auth tool to the newer ngportal version, config ngportal/auth to redirect to nggums/auth. Need gums and uath tool on different port, 8443 Chris, Daniel, Darren break apart.
