SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

Delayed maintenance
Complaints of HERA's users: Machine is slow, applications crashing (Most used applications asre Internet Explorer, MediaPlayer and MSNMessenger). Well, it's not the fastest, newest and most fancy box, but it should work. So some time was spent to defragment all disks (disk partitions), and updated AntiVirus. Time was up: still need to scan for malware.
But it proved a good thing to do.
Little check on Diana and Io, checked mail via webinterface, and a slight check on logs. No issue whatsoever, apart from the obvious (relay-attempts, store attempts on Anonymous FTP, POST attempts on Apache) that all fail.
