Cyberspace, 3rd door on the right. Hello World, We had a minor accident on march 6th 17:24 (freefall time) and lost all of the mailing lists. These have now, march 6th 23:00 (freefall time) been restored from the backup from this morning march 6th 05:30 (freefall time). This means: 1) any mail sent to any list @freebsd.org between 17:24 and 23:00 is lost, and must be retransmitted (if it was significant) 2) any changes to the lists during today was lost. You can send an an email to "majordomo@freebsd.org" with a body of one line saying "which" or "which my@address.com" and it will tell you what lists you are on. 3) our backups work! :-) I would like to stress that there is no evidence or reason to suspect malicious intent or activities. I guess we can all use more sleep. I havn't heard the story yet, but I'm sure given time and opportunity, we will have a good laugh about it, (unless it's a bug in a perl script :) At least i expect somebody to pay me a beer some time... <-- HINT! I would like to thank Satoshi, for noticing and warning me about it, and Gary for the backup which saved us, Thanks guys! PS: freefall time is mostly UTC-0800. -- Poul-Henning Kamp Core Team, 2.1 Release engineer, and presently: jack of all trades.
