We're were all guessing about that sort of thing, because we had to. But a wonky system would be just as likely explanation for why a server was offline, even for a prolonged period. Yes, I know there's other risks, etc., but that warning was just bad. Put the shoe on the other foot. The infrastructure could have had a plain old fault and gone off-line, and we could have been speculating all over the place about security breaches, hacks, and been completely wrong. Heck, my ISP's file server has been rather ill over the last few days, their mail server has always been. There's no security reasons behind it that any of us are aware of, just bad management. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
