CLM buggery
CLM, an SCT product, is kind of a weird application for me to support. Whenever there's an issue with the application, the userbase is so narrow (two folks for the most part) and specialized that it's very awkward for me to troubleshoot. If I wish to reporduce an error or behavior, I need to be very cautious, as I am dealing with live financial data. Furthermore, the users are encouraged to enter service calls with SCT. That leads to translation issues when technical info is handed via a non-technical source. Seems to lead to more delays than the avenue is worth...

Sun Driver Set update
The four thin client servers run off of Sun Fire x4100 boxes. I'v updated the driver set to Sun's latest. Most intersetingly, this included new drivers for the four processors in each box.
I've done 5,6, and 8. They were a few active connections on 7, so that'll have to wait till later.

SSL for pcounter
I now have pcounter authorization going over SSL. ActivePerl is installed. I bugged Summer to let her know that we'll be switching to the new instance of Pcounter after summer term.

PCounter for next term
Today I read through the manual for PCounter. At this point I have most pieces of the application ready for the summer switch. I still need to configure Apache to allow authentication to the cgi-bin. I'll also need to install PERL, so that students can purchase credits online.
