[ibiblio-announce] last login.ibiblio.org announcement, I promise

   I keep sending messages as we're working things out in the office. 
We've had a security incident on login.ibiblio.org, and have no choice but 
to reinstall the machine.

   login.ibiblio.org was patched for known vulnerabilities, but as we can 
never be certain of every modification made to the machine, we have 
decided to freshly install RHEL 5.2.  Despite the hassle of an OS upgrade 
on short notice, this will put us in better shape looking forward.

   We apologize for the short notice and the trouble, but... we're not 
happy about it either.  We'll send out a follow-up announcement when 
things are back in shape, and thank you for your patience.  As I 
previously mentioned, we're starting tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. EDT, 
but you may wish to avoid logging in to login.ibiblio.org until it comes 
back up tomorrow, including FTP and SSH.

   thank you,					919.962.5646 w
