employees.org

DNS records have been updated, and Banjo is the new employees.org server.

If there are any problems, send email to admin@employees.org

We recently cracked all of our passwords against the recently-disclosed password list described in the New York Times (and other places).

We have locked all of the accounts that were found to have password contained on that list. If you are having trouble logging in, your account may have been one of the ones that was reset, and you should have received an e-mail about it.

We are still investigating the cause of the Saturday morning outage. At this time, the only thing we know is that the system had to be hard-reset to bring it back up as it would not respond to the console.

Also, perl was unintentionally upgraded while trying to fix a problem with the zope/plone server. If you have any problems with any perl modules, please let the admins know.

Employees.org is now re-opened for logins.

We have done our best effort to recover user data off of /dev/ad4. I remind users we do NOT back up user data and the disaster recovery plan is to wipe the system and start anew. The latter almost happened today. If this is not acceptable to you, you may have outgrown what Employees.Org offers and should consider a commercial service.

There was some file corruption from /dev/ad4 that resulted in Mailman bouncing a lot of messages.
