[NTLUG:Discuss] Oops.

[Rick Cook]

Hello all (and I do mean all),

NTLUG, Inc. was informed by thePlanet.com that our colocation service 
arrangement through Bynari, Inc. has been terminated in an innovative way. 
They unplugged our ethernet cable and waited for someone to call.

Unfortunately, when I called, the support person did not notice the "we need 
to talk to some one about the contract on ntlug.org so we disconnected the 
ethernet cable until they called us" flag. They rebooted (and replugged in 
the ethernet cable). For some reason, on that reboot, mailman (our mailing 
list server) did not start.

In summary, the reason for this message was to let people know that the 
"unecessary re-boot" on Monday temporarily hosed all of our lists. They 
should be back in service now (a secondary reason for the message is to 
check).


Hopefully, we can make new colocation/hosting arrangements in time to prevent 
any serious disruption of these services.
