Next week, I'll be doing operating system updates and patches on our
servers.
Most of our servers are clustered, so these updates should have
minimal to no impact on services to customers.
Updates for servers that aren't clustered will occur overnight so as
to reduce impact to services on our network.
The goal is to do updates every 6 months on our servers to make sure
we are staying up to date. The last update was done in the second
week of September, 2005.
Security updates are updated as they are released and the updates that
will happen next week are not because of security issues.
Updates that will occur:
FreeBSD:
clustered inbound SMTP servers
clustered outbound SMTP servers
clustered POP/IMAP servers
clustered WWW servers
clustered NNTP servers
master authentication server
clustered slave authentication servers
primary DNS (domain hosting) servers
caching DNS (domain resolution) servers
syslog servers
legacy BSU web cluster database server
legacy backup MX server
Solaris:

legacy BSU clustered web servers
Windows:
