[tech] Hacking away at mooneye - finger, rwho

[Mark Tearle]

Hi folks

In the ongoing efforts to move services off of mooneye to decomission/rebuild it, here's the following update:

1/ Finger

I've made a copy of config and scripts from cfingerd on mooneye, set them up on mailauesi, and adjusted DNS appropriately.

The Web finger gateway now points at this host.
https://www.ucc.asn.au/cgi-bin/finger?coke

Of the scripts, door and wesley are both broken due to their underlying infrastructures also being broken

This was set up with a role under the ucc-ansible-soe called ucc_deploy_cfinger

As part of the yak shaving to get this working, the SOE also now has a ucc_dispense_client role, that builds, installs and configures the dispense client

2/ rwho

I've set up rwhod and rwho across the clubroom desktops and servers. This is a substitute for what they old GNU fingerd used to do which is show who is logged in and active across multiple host. 

Use "rwho" to see active users, and "rwho -a" to see all users currently logged in.

A few of the Windows machines don't yet have rwhod installed on them due to not being able to access them.

Example output (abbrieviated):
