Gary - 10/26 to 10/30

I changed the backup tapes.
I worked on Remedy calls.

I did a lot more testing with the VMware VMXNET 2 driver disks. All ISOs
on the ESX and ESXi servers have been replaced with my custom ISOs with the
proper drivers on them. Everything is ready to create new VMs with VMXNET 2
on Realm Linux.

I changed the "batch-ping" command so that it now pings a group of
machines twice. The first sweep is to "wake up" all the PCs in the list
and the second is the actual ping used in emails / output. This change
was requested by Justin Lancaster and is now live.

I did some research on power saving on Linux desktop systems and I also
consulted with Jack Neely on the problem as it was presented to me. He
is going to give this problem more thought for RHEL 6.

I created the openoffice-nautilus-integration rpm for Solaris 10 to
fix a bug with nautilus not knowing how to start a openoffice icon on
the desktop.

I created the openpkg-perlfix rpm to fix a flaw with the openpkg system
not being able to package perl scripts. This fix is required to
re-package the proe wildfire rpms.

I upgraded the license managers data file on engr14lic and engr15lic at the
request of Robbie Little to add a new feature they need.

I started working on a new set of packages for proe wildfire. I am trying
to get openpkg to work with "subpackages" which would be a more proper way
to package this massively huge app.

I tried to get OIT to push out a fix for the Linux printing problems. It
looks like OIT still has not pushed that rpm out to the labs. I did
determine that the new version of cups2lprng fixes the problems.
