Hello all -

RubyForge went down at 1:15 this morning. It appears that someone is  
spoofing DenyHosts into blocking lots of IP addresses, too, so I’m  
working to get an IPKVM hooked up to the machine so I can straighten  
things out.

Yours,

Tom

Thanks Tom!

BTW: A little old (last November), but have the rest  
of you listened to our RubyForge keeper on Technometria?

RubyForge is back online. The OOM killer appears to have battled  
bravely to keep things running, but the machine finally crashed due to  
an out of memory error.

This was what I had thought this morning, but I was wrong.

Yours,

Tom
