If people have been having problems for a week, it was probab= ly something else. Two weeks ago it was the power grid. This was indeed the worst infection I've seen. The Plan9/Linux/BSDers go= t to look really smug while helping people disinfect their =C2=B5soft machi= nes. I found the worm quite helpful. It pinpointed every machine that wasn't keeping up with windows critical updates and/or mcafee .dat's without rea= lly doing any permanent harm (I hope). A lot of those systems were infected with a bunch of other viruses that noone was noticing because they were latent or just not noisey enough. It'll cause a change in tools/precedur= es to keep everyone's system updated. Of course, you have to count that against the man hours it sonsumed, whic= h was sizable. Also, it doesn't seem to be affecting anyone's attitude towards depending so heavily on one very vulnerable OS. --upas-kpujetgaazkczqudluxleiyigc Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Wed Aug 27 09:08:36 EDT 2003 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Wed Aug 27 09:08:33 EDT 2003 Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 2880019B0E; Wed, 27 Aug 2003 09:08:27 -0400 (EDT) Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.4.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id AEA7D19AEF; Wed, 27 Aug 2003 09:08:13 -0400 (EDT) X-Original-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server, from userid 60001) id 1F05619B05; Wed, 27 Aug 2003 09:07:06 -0400 (EDT) Received: from smtp807.mail.sc5.yahoo.com (smtp807.mail.sc5.yahoo.com [66.163.168.186]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with SMTP id 2EA0F19980 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Wed, 27 Aug 2003 09:06:55 -0400 (EDT) Received: from adsl-68-21-32-183.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net (HELO ameritech.net) (dbailey27@ameritech.net@68.21.32.183 with plain) by smtp-sbc-v1.mail.vip.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; 27 Aug 2003 13:06:54 -0000 Message-ID: <3F4CBB00.6060103@ameritech.net> From: northern snowfall User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020518 Netscape6/6.2.3 X-Accept-Language: en-us MIME-Version: 1.0 To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Subject: Re: [9fans] is sources unreachable?

So, unless it's been crashed for a week (yet still randomly is able to server users) I'll still attribute the brunt of the trouble to the worms. Just the other day a friend of mine and I noticed that network connections from his UK machine to other UK machines were being routed through the US and Canada, whereas they previously had not.
