Month: January 1998

Mon Jan 5 19:20:04 PST 1998 — Strange happenings with NAS16 tonight — it was sending multiple authentication requests with the same serial number. However, unlike the last few times this has happened, we were able to isolate the apparent cause of the problem: excessive logging packets weren’t getting sent fast enough, consuming buffers and eating up memory in the device. We’ve ‘toned down’ the logging verbosity, which we expect will prevent a reoccurence. We apologize if you had trouble logging in this evening — hopefully we’ve got it licked! -Scott, Dane, Brian

Sat Jan 3 00:40:58 PST 1998 — An attempt to use the ftp server at sonic.sonic.net displays the following message: ‘500 Please connect to ftp.sonic.net or shell.sonic.net — thanks.’ Apparently, not all ftp clients display this message, though the better ones do. Please do use ftp.sonic.net (or shell.sonic.net) for ftp services on the Sonic network. Thanks.

Fri Jan 2 10:54:20 PST 1998 — Happy New Year! It’s time to get more goodies for the same money here at Sonic, and we’re pleased to announce that disk quotas have been raised from 36 megs to 50 megs. This new quota applies to your total usage across all filesystems, so you can use the space where you need it without any restrictions.

Fri Jan 2 10:52:01 PST 1998 — Because of a brief power failure last night, many of our X2 lines were unavailable until 9:30 this morning. Basicly, the equipment isn’t behaving well, and after a power cycle, doesn’t sync up with Pacific Bell’s switch. We’ve made some changes here in hopes of remedying this. If you recieve a reorder tone (which sounds like a very fast busy signal), this indicates either that you have caller ID blocking enabled, or that we’re having this sort of equipment problem. Your modem may simply report ‘BUSY’, so be sure to turn on the audio so that you can tell what is actually going on.
