Recently at Swarthmore College we set up a new Xsan and workstations to support a small, four station video editing lab. A major challenge was to maintain as much control and keep the machines as clean as possible. We instituted both Active Directory binding using Directory Services, so that users could log in with their network credentials which we could also use for access control on the server space, and also bound the machines to Open Directory to manage machine specific settings and policies, such as access and software updates. We've been very pleased with the success of this "Magic Triangle" system (see below) and we've detailed some of the critical pieces of the process of combining that with the Xsan implementation and some things to watch out for in this article.

CadaverDog is a small Cocoa Java utility for monitoring the responsiveness of open ports on servers in order to determine if a given process running there has stopped responding. On detecting a failure CadaverDog sounds an audible alert on the machine it's running on, sends an email to a list of recipients and optionally uploads a failure report to a web server via SSH using public/private key authentication.
