Sorry about all the downtime. Thank you very much for keeping everything up and running for years now, Jim. A lot of the good Java Libre stuff that happened in the past years would not have happened without you providing the playground for it. cheers, dalibor topic ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

Hopefully, I can get the VMs back online for tomorrow. Cheers, - Jim ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

[kaffe] Server downtime
Hi, I apologize for the server downtime - it's back up now after I drove to the colo. It appears it was a system administration problem - I think all the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf had long since gone away. I also had a strange issue which was preventing console logins. I reinstalled a few packages, and the problem seems to have gone away. I was somewhat concerned that the server may have been compromised, but I couldn't find any evidence of that (eg. testing with chkrootkit). It's probably worth keeping an eye out anyways in case I missed something. The good news out of all of this is that I had an extra 512MB DDR SDRAM that I stuck in the server, so it now should be more responsive. I'm planning on upgrading the server shortly so I can use it for some additional projects, for example, sharing some resources with the Classpath developers. If you see anything strange, send me a note. Cheers, - Jim ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
