October 20 Briefs Excerpts:

Microsoft Patches Will Be Released Tuesday
Microsoft released several critical patches last week for Windows systems. Due to the nature of these patches, the CNI group has decided to send them out to all Computer Center-managed Windows machines, starting on Tuesday, Oct. 26. If your desktop is managed by the Computer Center, please log out at the end of your workday next Tuesday, but leave your system powered on so that the patches can be installed during the night. If you experience difficulties with your computer in the morning, first reboot to see if that fixes the problem before contacting the IT Division Helpdesk at x7155 for assistance.

Introduction to Mailman for List Owners/Administrators
If you are the list owner or administrator of a mailman mailing list, this informative seminar is for you. The seminar will cover important mailing list topics, such as: how to start a mailing list, where to find the directory of mailing lists provided by JLab, how to get information concerning a mailing list (including its owner), and where to find help in administering a mailing list. The seminar will be held in the CEBAF Center auditorium on Monday, Nov. 1, 1:30-2:30 p.m. Plan to attend if you are currently the list owner or administrator of a JLab mailing list, or if you are planning on requesting a new mailing list for use at JLab. For more information, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at x7155.

Discontinuation of Dial-up Modem Pool (RAS) Service
On Nov. 1,  the lab's dial up modem pool (RAS) service will be decommissioned. The service, once widely used for off-site access, has been effectively replaced by the Internet. Questions about remote access to lab resources can be directed to the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.
