Any suggestions? The Kerberos server seems to be online now, though some (all?) of its data has been trashed. No more raeburn@GNU.ORG any more, and cross-realm authentication from ATHENA.MIT.EDU is broken too; I can't even get tickets from the GNU KDC. I talked to a guy who knows some people etc, and he said one of the FSF machines was broken into, one for general remote login access. Not the Kerberos server, so I don't know why it's been changed. And I don't know *when* the breakin happened, but three days of down time seems pretty lame. It also appears that Kerberos rsh access to the CVS server has been shut off. That's how I'd been accessing it for years, since before the FSF ran ssh servers.[1] So I had a whole bunch of problems in my way when I was trying yesterday.... I haven't seen any hints as to whether/when they'll restore the Kerberos database, or whether/when they'll restore Kerberos rsh access. Don't you just love how they keep us so well informed, and in such a timely fashion? Ken [1] Some of you may know I'm a Kerberos guy, and I've done some CVS hacking in the past. I can go into why I don't use Kerberos CVS access to the FSF if you care, but I think it's a tangent.
