The wiki is back now. Looking at logs it there were people attempting to exploit this back in July but I do not think they actually succeeded. It seemed to mostly automated bot and not a target attempt. The wiki has been reinstalled from scratch and users and pages were copied. As I did a very selective copy it's entirely possible I made the wiki unhappy, so let me know if you see issues. Just to be extra safe I have reset all password, so everybody will need need to use the standard account recovery process to set a new password. On a side note we have ~23000 user accounts and had 26000 empty pages mostly caused by spammers, so someone(tm) will likely need to find a way to change how we handle wiki user accounts to fix this. PS. only reason I could see that they tried back in July was that I found out I had forgotten to set up log rotation, so the wiki logfile was over 3GB :-). (It was the internal log file which doesn't contain user IP's so privacy part isn't really an issue.) -- Simon L. B. Nielsen Hat: clusteradm
