Dear VDT Team,

In looking at this page:
http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/releases/1.10.1/installation_post_server.html#rate-limit-jobmanager
Under 'Edit the xinetd configuration', is a reference to file
'$VDT_LOCATION/etc/services/xinetd-globus-gatekeeper'. On my VDT
install, that file does not exist, but I have a file located at
'$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/services/xinetd-globus-gatekeeper'. Is this the same
file?

Hi Sarah,

You're right, the instructions mean $VDT_LOCATION/services/... not
$VDT_LOCATION/etc/services...

However, the instructions are definitely still wrong because running
vdt-control rewrites that file and throws out your changes. For the
moment you have to edit /etc/xinetd.d/globus-gatekeeper instead, and
manually restart xinetd to pick up the changes.

This is only a temporary fix though, because re-running "vdt-control
--on" will rewrite that system file and you'll lose your changes. Hmph.
I'm not sure what the right answer is.

So for the moment I have a lousy workaround for you (edit the system's
copy, restart xinetd) and we'll investigate what a better fix should be.
It may be a week or so before we investigate the fix, because of other
things we need to get done first. But hopefully we'll attend to this in
the near future.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I looked into this today, and it's a bug. vdt-control shouldn't be
rewriting that file, but it accidentally is.

I'm going to assign this to Alan De Smet to fix this problem, and it
will show up in an update to VDT 1.10.1 in the near future (1-2 weeks, I
hope). Future communication about this problem will be with him.

Alan--I talked to Tim Cartwright about this problem this morning because
he wrote vdt-control. We have some specific ideas about it, so chat with
me about it. This also will help with our solution to ticket #3687.

Thanks,
-alain

- Don't clobber user changes to xinetd configuration files #3768
- Fixed corrupt file test. #3768
- Will now add missing settings to existing files. #3768
- Add per_source limit of 300 #3687

This is a pretty serious overhaul of the xinetd configuration file
writing code.
