The server has problems with the /etc/passwd and home dirs: daniel@banane:~$ ftp ftp.cis.uab.edu Connected to juniper.cis.uab.edu. 220-Welcome to the UAB CIS ftp server 220- 220-IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Sep 7th, 2005 220- 220-Unfortunately, despite trying to debug the problem 220-from every available angle, the disk array which 220-houses the ftp files continues to fail. We have 220-made every effort to diagnose and fix the 220-problem. Among the steps taken, we have tried 220-three different SCSI cables, three different 220-servers with three different OSes, three separate 220-SCSI controller cards, and have swapped out the 220-SCSI controller inside the disk array. We've also 220-direct-attached the SCSI disk array to the ftp server 220-to remove NFS from the setup. Unfortunately, 220-each of these provided only temporary relief at best. 220- 220-The only option remaining is to move the files to a 220-different storage. However, the current storage is a 220-1.5 terabyte disk array, which does not come cheap. 220-It is beyond our means at this time. We continue to search for a 220-solution. However, in the meantime, the files will not 220-be available. We recognize that many have been 220-inconvenienced by the instability of the system, and we 220-are not happy with the level of service we can provide 220-with the current hardware. We want you to know that we 220-are attempting to find a solution, and will post updates 220-as they become available. 220 Name (ftp.cis.uab.edu:admin): anonymous 331 Please specify the password.
