Hi all, Perhaps the reason sites are publishing kernel versions is because they correctly followed the instructions: > The procedure to do this is the following: > > * choose a WN which is "representative" of your batch system (see below for a definition of "representative") and make sure that the chosen node is fully installed and configured.

So these sites are actually configured exactly as LCG has asked them to be... The LCFG installation guide for LCG-2_3_0 still refers to the appendix that used to contain this step, but does not actually contain the appendix anymore. cheers, Owen.
