Wall Street Journal WASHINGTON — Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials. The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, these officials said, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. [...]
So, I have a kindof off the wall question. I've got 10 computers which I inherited from a charter school that closed that I did their admin work for. They're not servers, just workstations with ubuntu server running on them. I had them all up and running at one point... but crimineys the load on my... (8 Replies)
Does anybody know of a good alternative to Sun Grid Engine? It seems that Oracle is now charging for this software. I am running a HPC cluster that has Solaris 10 machines and I am adding some nodes that will be running Ubuntu 10.04, eventually the Solaris machines will be migrating to Ubuntu. (0 Replies)

Hi forum,
I am aware that on Hp-Superdome technology (Blade Servers) is avaliable while on Solaris GRID technology is the latest in the market. I would like to know if similar high end technology is also available for AIX ? (1 Reply)
Hi everybody:

My aid is create a file with both rows, one row are x coordenates and other for y coordenates.
All grid obviousolly are same space.

GRID-CA-CREATE(1) Globus Commands GRID-CA-CREATE(1)NAME
grid-ca-create - Create a CA to sign certificates for use on a grid
SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-create [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
grid-ca-create [-force] [-noint] [-dir DIRECTORY]
[-subject SUBJECT] [-email ADDRESS] [-days DAYS] [-pass PASSWORD]
[-nobuild] [-g] [-b]
[-openssl-help] [OPENSSL-OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-create program creates a self-signed CA certificate and related files needed to use the CA with other Globus tools. The
grid-ca-create program prompts for information to use to generate the CA certificate, but the prompts may be avoided by using the command
line options.
By default, the grid-ca-create program creates the self-signed CA certificate, installs it on the current machine in its trusted
certificate directory, and creates a source tarball which can be used to generate an RPM package for the CA. If the RPM package is
installed on a machine, users on that machine can create certificate requests for user, host, or service identity certificates to be signed
by the CA certificate generated by running grid-ca-create.
If run as a privileged user, the grid-ca-create program creates the CA certificate and support files in
${localstatedir}/lib/globus/simple_ca and the CA certificate and signing policy are installed in the /etc/grid-security directory.
Otherwise, the files are created in the ${HOME}/.globus/simpleCA directory.
The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-create follows. In addition to these, unknown options will be passed to the openssl command
when creating the self-signed certificate.
-help, -h, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-ca-create and exit.
-version, -versions
Display the version number of the grid-ca-create command. The second form includes more details.
-force
Overwite existing CA in the destination directory if one exists
-noint
Run in non-interactive mode. This will choose defaults for parameters or those specified on the command line without prompting. This
option also implies -force.
-dir DIRECTORY
Create the CA in DIRECTORY. The DIRECTORY must not exist prior to running grid-ca-create.
-subject SUBJECT
Use SUBJECT as the subject name of the self-signed CA to create. If this is not specified on the command-line, grid-ca-create will
default to using the subject name cn=Globus Simple CA, ou=$HOSTNAME, ou=GlobusTest, o=Grid.
-email ADDRESS
Use ADDRESS as the email address of the CA. The default instructions generated by grid-ca-create tell users to mail the certificate
request to this address. If this is not specified on the command-line, grid-ca-create will default to the $LOGNAME@$HOSTNAME
-days DAYS
Set the default lifetime of the self-signed CA certificate to DAYS. If not set, the grid-ca-create program will default to 1825 days (5
years).
-pass PASSWORD
Use the string PASSWORD to protect the CA's private key. This is useful for automating Simple CA, but may make it easier to compromise
the CA if someone obtains a shell on the machine storing the CA's private key.
-nobuild
Disable building a source tarball for distributing the CA's public information to other machines. The source tarball can be created
later by using the grid-ca-package command.
-g
Create a binary GPT package containing the new CA's public information. The package will be created in the current working directory.
This package can be deployed by with the gpt-install tool.
-b
Create a binary GPT package containing the new CA's public information that is backward-compatible with GPT 3.2. Packages created in
this manner will work with Globus Toolkit 2.0.0-5.0.x.
EXAMPLES
Create a simple CA in $HOME/SimpleCA
% grid-ca-create -noint -dir $HOME/SimpleCA
C e r t i f i c a t e A u t h o r i t y S e t u p
This script will setup a Certificate Authority for signing Globus
users certificates. It will also generate a simple CA package
that can be distributed to the users of the CA.
The CA information about the certificates it distributes will
be kept in:
/home/juser/SimpleCA
The unique subject name for this CA is:
cn=Globus Simple CA, ou=simpleCA-grid.example.org, ou=GlobusTest, o=Grid
Insufficient permissions to install CA into the trusted certifiicate
directory (tried ${sysconfdir}/grid-security/certificates and
${datadir}/certificates)
