Another XEN advantage for Batch Workers
Brookhaven presented that they were running batch jobs in XEN machines on there compute farm. The aim is that they also serve the storage space within dCache or xrootd and want to protect this storage from batch jobs that crash the machine.
PSI Site Report - Gateway Machine.
One intresting idea from PSI. Rather than having a single SSH gateway they have a gateway that once you are logged into allows you at the firewall to login to any machine. Much better, going through gateways is always a pain.

This week I'm in Hamburg at a HEPiX meeting. The meeting where the sysadmins from the large labs get together. I'll be writing notes on many of the presentations here.
