All NUCs and Shuttle Terminal will now use the latest thinlinc client.

To activate the latest updates all compute servers will be rebooted.

• https://www.cendio.com/thinlinc/docs/relnotes/4.4.0
• #612, #957
• This update fixes the Poodle attack (webclient access).

The network infrastructure of our building Y27 will be migrated (VOIP preparation).

During the maintenance, all Thinlinc terminals and all IMATH servers will be down. This includes Mail, Web, SSH, GIT, EDX, Thinlinc remote access ...

Maintenance Time:
Wednesday 21.10.15 18:00 - Thursday 22.10.15 06:00.

Please expect that incoming mail, which migth delayed more than 4 hours, generates warnings to the sender about 'not delivered yet'. This is only a warning - the mail will be delivered as soon as the mailserver is online again.

During the maintenance window, we will also do some server reconfiguration and therefore reboot all servers, including all Thinlinc and NFS servers.

Thanks,
Carsten
