Just to report another variant of the cron problem:
My cron job worked fine at 8am Sat 7/28
but failed at 8am Sun 7/29 (file not found)

Can someone please shed some light on this "already in use" nonsense??
(my username is actually "fiberadm", but it is considered "already in use")

And I concur with other comments I've seen here - your captcha ("confirmation code")
facility is HORRIBLE!

(Sorry for the ott-topic flaming - I don't know where to comment on the Forum itself,
and the Shell-server is working great.)

Yep, got a call this morning it was down again. Nailed by autoupdate, same as yesterday. Disabled autoupdate, added more configuration to ensure same problem doesn't bite us in the future.

Sorry about the trouble. :(

Okay, everything seems to be up and running okay as of 11am. Thanks Scott

sls123@sh% uptime

I'm guessing this explains why my screen session wasn't there. I hope that this is not going to be a common event.

Can any of those patches be submitted back to the pam_mount project, or are they too specific to sonic's setup?

It just means that you cannot use an existing username (in this case your own) if you're not logged in. Also, there is no captcha if you log in.

Good idea. Will update them for the latest pam_mount (which I have to anyway) and submit them back to the maintainer. Maybe they'll update with our patches!

What do I need to do to restore my previous environment? The illegible "confirmation code" in this forum is especially annoying. wtf is so difficult about presenting a human readable code. 10 guesses and counting

All better now, thanks for the quick fix...

Is there something we've missed on the new shell server?

As of Sunday, the dial-in feature of using "mball.shell" to get a tty connection to the shell server instead of ppp still connects to the old server.
