NQIG.NET Version 2.0! Now with RAID 1!

Server Status: Up (5 days before the target date. Sweet.)

Server Notes
Everything seems to be back in order. I've put Motoko back up using a fresh install of Fedora Core 3. I put the old drive into an enclosure and have access to it in the event that some piece of the process was forgotten (for example I just noticed that my Linux Logo app isn't here) but I'm reasonably confident that all already existing user data has been transfered over, all major services are back up, and all mailboxes have been put back together. Squigy, however, may have trouble opening his mailbox (The file had read errors while copying.) If any of you have trouble opening your mailboxes, please contact me.

All emails that where queued during the downtime have been properly delivered to the intended recipients, so any e-mails you where expecting to get should have been delivered.

Oh, ya, just a warning ALL OF YOUR PASSWORDS HAVE BEEN RESET!!!. This means that if you want to get to your mail, you will have to contact me and I'll hook you up. I'm thinking about creating a web interface to allow you to change your password remotely. I'm not entirely sure how I plan to do this (probably with a simple alias for the passwd command, I may scour the web for existing scripts, though I will be hand parsing them to ensure they're safe and reliable) but until then you will have to come to my house to change it. If you need access before then but cannot come over, I will set it to something specific and give you that password, but I will require you to change it the next time you are over.

Just in case you where wondering. Yes, the forums are up and alive


FINALLY!!!!

Damn power supply.
