VDT 1.2.0 Release

We are pleased to announce the release of VDT 1.2.0.

• New Features since VDT 1.1.14:
  • vdt_get_job_info is now aware of rotated logs.
  • A new, easier to use, test suite.
  • As a security precaution, the GRIS (MDS) now runs as the deamon user when installed as root
  • The GRIS (MDS) is now optionally installed with authentication turned on. This is a question asked during a root installation. If you turn it on you will need to have a GSI LDAP service certificate installed and it will need to be owned by the daemon user.
  • RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 is now officially supported.
• Bug Fixes since VDT 1.1.14:
  • The VDT is now more careful about how it edits files in /etc.
  • EDG-CRL-Update now restarts on boot.
  • If you choose a pre-existing Condor configuration, Monalisa is aware of it, and it is reflected in the setup.SHELL files.
  • When users use configure_globus.sh directly (instead of in the installation process) and a task cannot be completed configure_globus.sh now exits with 1 instead of 0.
  • $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf now instructions the job manager to preserve the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
• Upgraded software:
  • FTSH version 2.0.5
  • GSISSH version 3.4
  • MonaLisa 1.2.12
  • VDS 1.2.10
• Miscellaneous:
  • The VDT website has moved to http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu. The URLs for old caches will still work.
