[Clusterusers] Re: cluster mailing lists & something funky on compute-1-3

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

I have subscribed Adam, Brian was already subscribed, as is Kyle, Lee, 
Jaime, Chris, me, Michael, and a few others. I think helga can be 
removed from the discussion unless there is somebody else on that list 
that should know what's up with the cluster.

clusterusers at hermes doesn't work anymore - that's old and the hostnames 
have changed. clusteruers at lists.hampshire.edu should be the proper 
address. We'll see if this gets through :)

I'll go check on compute-1-3 and report back.
