unoffical web news 
(which is as offical as it can get under the circumstances)


Over the break the servers fell into disrepair and we are working on 
bringing them back up.  Due to a know bug/feature in Solaris 2.4 the 8001 
port on acmex is locked.  I asked OIT about this and they said that it 
happens to the email port sometimes and the only cure is for the 
afflicted machine to be rebooted.  Since we can't request acmex to be 
rebooted we just have to wait for OIT to do it on it's own for other reasons.

The rumor mill has started and has said that acmew became kaboom and will 
be the new student web server.  According to OIT there are plans for a 
student webserver and it will be up hopefully sometime this quarter.  
What machine it will be on and what the privlidges/policies of the 
machine will be are still undetermined. (ok so OIT didn't tell us much :)


So what is the status:

 machine        status         eta
 acmex:8001     down         when acmex is rebooted
 acmex:8002     up           being run by Konfuzed until acmex:8001 comes up
 acmex:65000    up           up until OIT server comes up
 acmex:1995     up           I don't know if this one is for public use
			     (Konstantin? any remarks?)

 
 acmey:65000    up           up until OIT server comes up

 
 acmew:65000    down         acmew is gone and has been renamed kaboom
                             acmew:65000 has been replaced with acmex:65000


 acmez:xxxx     none         there are no servers on acmez


 I activated a staff account to get an extra 500 bananas so the 
acmex:65000 server should be very stable.  I have turned off all user 
owned CGI-BIN scripts and also the counter script to save resources so 
that my gt account and staff account will last until the OIT server comes 
up.


If you expect a lot of usage or require scripts or counters then you will
need to get an account on another machine with a web server.  There are
many dorm machines running web servers.  All of the good ones (ie. running
Linux instead of Win95 :) will let you login remotely and ftp text, pics,
sounds, video, and small thermonuclear devices on to the machine and 
set up into web pages.

I have a dorm machine and would like to make a list of other dorm 
machines that are willing to offer this service.  If you really need this 
service or have a dorm machine then please mail me at

 joshuam@cc.gatech.edu


I am truly sorry about the servers going up and down so much but they are 
student run and subject to factors beyond our control.  We will try to do 
better in the future and hope that the OIT run server will be available 
to provide a more stable service.  Thankyou.

I have one also, but it is temporarily down (gcc is screwed up and
ethernet port is locked).  When it comes back up, I'll post.  It runs
Linux on a P100 with 16MB ram.

It will run NCSA HTTPd 1.5insertsomeletterhere.  1.5 comes with a few
standard CGI's (forms, fortune, etc.) whose access is TBA.

Email me at gt7614b for access and more info.

	The rumor seems true.  I pointed Internet Explorer to
http://kaboom.gatech.edu.  It did make a connection, though I was told
I didn't have access to that server.  That seems to prove that there
is a web server there.  If it is intended for the students, then there
are probably only a select few at OIT that have access to the server
until it is up and running.

	IF you provide a directory path after the above url, you get a
different message, saying to email webmaster@www.prism. I checked, and
www.prism is an alias for kaboom. Hopefully, the rumors are right.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  KEEP AWAY!!!!!  You're voluntarily
*admitting* that you *use* Macrosoft's Internet Explorer?

Probably the select OIT beta testers.  Just curious, OIT, but what
exactly *is* kaboom?  The sparc20 that used to be acmew?
