Logging in from a Mac
We are aware of a problem logging in to the upgraded CSF using Mac laptops which are on-campus and connected to both Eduroam and the GlobalProtect VPN. We are checking with our network colleagues regarding this issue. Because of this problem users might get errors like:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname login01-csf3-test.itservices.manchester.ac.uk: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Solution: Turn off GlobalProtect.
Missing libraries when running applications
The O/S on the upgraded CSF3 may cause some applications to complain about missing libraries. We will provide workarounds if you see these errors in your job outputs. Please report any such errors to us.
