email
The provider for my tertiary e-mail address,
``hbl...@csua.berkeley.edu``, has also been down for part of the
day, and worse yet, appears to be losing mail. Thus the updated
address above, hblan...@gmail.com. (Secondary is with
Berkeley's
OCF, which has been down now for some two weeks! At least we're
not
in the berkeley.edu domain.) Please don't hesitate to make use of
the Google group (http://groups.google.com/group/artifex-org) as
well.

hardware
CPU, memory, case, drive, and power supply have shipped for the
new
server.

All,

I've done as much as I can on the forensic end and have begun the
reinstall. The attached screenshot is probably the only graphical
step in the process and where I am right now.

The first round of web services are back up on a newly installed &
virtualized Terra (which is to say, static files, and out of the box
PHP sites -- but not http://artifex.org or anything using Python/
Ruby). The Python end won't be hard -- it's just late here and time to
turn in. I'll mop up the remainders this coming Tuesday evening and
turn to mail then as well.

Shell and file access is still only set up for administrators but we
will can begin resetting passwords Thursday, I think. A list of
administrators you can contact will be posted here when that begins.

Thanks for all of your hard work. Why are you still up at 1:42 am???
Did Marissa tell you about Jorge wanting to come here and see you all
this weekend? We'll talk later about if that will work or not.
Love,
Momma

Incoming mail (SMTP) came up last night (8/25), so we are now
receiving mail for all addresses hosted with the Artifex. I'll be
setting up POP/IMAP/SSH access for the userbase tonight -- and after
that's done, folks will be able to read/send mail and update websites.
I may get to webmail as well.

All passwords have been reset, **so please contact me
(hbl...@artifex.org) or Mike Hugo to update the password on your
account**. Please remember that we do not set up accounts by e-mail,
so you will need to speak with one of us to update your password.

If you include your phone number in your e-mail, I should be able to
call you and update your password within two days.

Talk to you soon,

HJB

Dear All,

Mailing lists are back up on the Artifex serer, so some of you may be
reading this thread for the first time. If so, you may find it easiest to
start reading from the bottom up at http://artifex.org.

Current updates are:

Internet mail (SMTP) and most websites continue to stay up, and I'm
finally turning my attention to POP, IMAP, SSL, and webmail later
tonight or tomorrow morning. I've spent the past couple evenings
sorting out the right way to do file integrity monitoring -- which
regrettably was something that really needed to go in before we turn on
the remaining services like POP and IMAP. Nothing out there is quite
right for supervising virtual instances, but I finally settled on one of
the more modern, simple systems and have it running.

Thank you for your patience. I've got a number of password requests in
from folks and will work my way through them on Sunday.
