*What is happening?*
Starting at 6:30AM Sunday morning we will be  applying security updates to
lv-o-grouper.its.maine.edu and lv-o-grouper-db.its.maine.edu and then will
reboot them.

These machines provide the grouper web interface and backend services.
During this maintenance these will be briefly unavailable.

*How long will it take?*
We expect the service to take about 15 to 20 minutes.

*Why is this work necessary?*
For security and support reasons we need to keep our systems running on
recent well supported operating systems.

*What happens if the work is not successful?  *
We will back out to snapshots of these machines taken prior to application
of the changes.
