[Cs_announce] Moving to a new server

[Steve Garcia]

This is just a heads up for all current students of the Computer and 
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at CSUB.  We are 
switching to a new server, odin.cs.csub.edu.  All students currently 
enrolled in classes this fall will have new accounts created near the 
beginning of the semester -- you don't have to request it, I will create 
the accounts and give them to your instructor to hand out.  If you are an 
alum or a student not taking a current class, but still want an account, 
let me know and I will create an account for you, but please wait a week 
or so after classes start so things will have slowed down a bit.

Your sleipnir account is not going away.  Your new account *may* not be 
the same username -- if you are currently jsmith3, you are likely to be 
jsmith on the new server, but other than that there shouldn't be any 
change.

Odin is now the www server for the department, so your old web page is no 
longer visible as https://www.cs.csub.edu/~yourname.  It *is* visible as 
http://www2.cs.csubak.edu/~yourname.  You cannot use the secure server for 
www2 (it's not on the certificate) and you cannot use the cs.csub.edu 
formulation (it defaults to the secure server.)  Your odin account won't 
have these limitations.

Right at this moment, your CS email is still on sleipnir, but that will 
change once I create the new student accounts on odin.  At that time, 
email on sleipnir may stop working.  I will work on getting both to work, 
but that might not be right away if at all.
