Urgent Updates Urges

The latest gLite update (r24) is labeled as urgent. Turns out that this is only because the VOMS certificate for lcg-voms.cern.ch is going to expire at the end of the month.

Forunately, we have the lcg-vomscerts RPM directly controlled by cfengine, so it was a simple matter to update this part of the system.

Of course, while we're languishing at r20 the world is marching on, so we'll have to play catch-up sometime. Currently I've sheduled next Thursday as our site upgrade day. I'm glad we have the cluster independent of any other authentication system - it means finding all of those new UIDs for sgm and prd accounts will not be a problem.

(I'm also glad we didn't break our DPM with the current fiasco over gridmap file paths!)
