Sporadic Problems With DNS and Other Services (Aug 23-24, 2012)
DNS lookups were failing sporadically, leading to transient failures in many other services, including: authentication, e-mail, NFS, and software license servers. That problem has now been resolved. However, mail from the ECE mail server to Yahoo e-mail addresses will likely be blocked for the next two days.
MacLeod Server Room Failure (Aug 7, 2012)
A large number of services were down due to an air conditioner failure in ECE's MacLeod server room. The air conditioner has been repaired, and all services should be running again.
