kennel.ruf.rice.edu server replaced by organization.rice.edu server June 2014

The server hardware for kennel.ruf.rice.edu failed.  It was an old, unsupported, server; both hardware and Operating System.  A new server,

organization.rice.edu; was created to provide access to the old kennel.ruf.rice.edu accounts and content.  Organization.rice.edu is a

new RedHat Linux V6 server, and meets all current Rice security and access standards. 

 

With the implementation of a current, supported, hardware and operating system and adherence to Rice security guidelines, ruf users will

notice a few differences from the old, kennel.ruf.rice.edu system.

 

Key differences on the new server, organization:

  • SSH access to organization = Rice networks only
  • Default Shell on organization = bash
  • no FTP access.  SFTP access only.
  • No samba/CIFS access supported.
  • No X11 supported.
  • Pine is replaced with ALPINE.
  • User access to authorized org. accounts still available.
  • No labels
