M-net appears to be down. I can't get in with the dialins, telnet or Web-YAPP.
Is this related to the changeover at WWnet that was mentioned a couple of
weeks ago?

232 responses total.

A traceroute just now eventually made it to m-net.  However, like you, I
never got a login prompt in any of several ways of connecting.

my telnet sessions crash and burn without even connecting.

same as #0

Ha ha! 
Grexer fags!

Oh wait....

The M-net influx made for a roaring party on Grex tonight/this morning.

over-run by da hunz?

Bitch.  I am sad that m-net is down.  I am gonna go home and cry now.  
Someone please call me when this tragedy has ben fixed.  Thanks.

i just tried again, and nothing.

anyone have any clues as to what the official word is?

        I just logged in, in had been up for 15 mins.

        Then it froze as if crashing again.

hi, my name is rex.  the official word is that m-net is foobared
I just talked to some folk at WWNet (m-net's home), and they told me
that m-net just keeps rebooting.  I'll try to get out there tonight, 
and/ or, if one of the other roots reads this and wants to get in touch with
me, here by my #:  734 945 6258

thank you rex.

<sniff>  i wuv u rex.

Thanks, Rex!

Thank you Rex!

thanks dude.

aw, shit. thanks rex, you da man.

I talked to mark today, he might go out there tonight.

        Thanks, Mark.
        and Rex.

ok ok
can we stop the love-fest and just get back to information
about mnet now?

Willard never should have given his bird the root password.  Damn it; you
just can't trust psittacines.

<hugs iggy>

STOP IT!!
<makes buggy-eyes at barry>

Hey, the hell with you guys, I just want my damn mail!

(cy klone remembers he's on grex and should have added a ;)

I actually don't know the current root password.  I haven't talked to Rex
since it was changed a few days ago.  Maybe Rex gave it to my bird.

still down-do-be-do-down-down

Who is xdr?

I'm sorry, Citizen, but you aren't cleared to know.  Please move along.

   i am not a number!  i am a free m-netter!

xdr is an obnoxious hacker that has given us headaches in the past.
The current problem may have been caused by him, or the system may just need
work.  Till someone makes it to the office, we can't say for sure.

Booty.
One thing I just noticed - I was able to get to the arbornet.org 
website all afternoon, just not to web-yapp.  Now I cant even get 
there.  Weird.

Im missing my dose of geekdom and grex just doesnt cut it for me... its 
a little bit too...

You're looking for geeks, eh?

Our secondary DNS at WWNet appears to have stopped responding.  This means
that people sending E-Mail to M-Net will get bounce messages, and even if
the system itself is recovered, no one will be able to log into it until
DNS is restored (because arbornet.org hasn't been updated with InterNIC
yet).

Root had been compromised on M-Net.  I'd observed root activity on ttyp1
with no wtmp or utmp record as recently as Wednesday at 7:30 pm.  It is a
very distinct possibility that someone ("xdr") did something destructive.
I hope he's proud of himself, if that's what happened here.

This may be something completely different, though.  It just seems kinda
strange, y'know?  We'll sort out the details after everything is back
online.

if it is so, the dude soulnd like he has some serious maturity
problems.
i could speculate that a SO who tried to end a relationship with
him would suffer the same fate. a real 'stalker' type.

of course, i am only assuming that the person who did this to mnet
is young and male...

When's the last time M-Net was backed up?

Jamie, you get anything else on him besides his ISP, i.e. physical
description, names of friends/family/loved ones, address...you know, the
usual? ;)

<dood, this is greckz? c-c-crazee, mon>
