Customers down?
by Alex Rubenstein 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Since 8am, we've seen a rising amount of customers going down. It's been attributed to them turninf off thier equipment. The local Bell Atlantic DSC claims that 'hundreds, maybe thousands of circuits are down,' mostly due to customers turning stuff off. Everyone else seeing this?

Only Y2K Casuality...
by Russell Van Tassell 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Ok... pretty much as I think everyone here figured, no "serious" problems for the Y2K rollover -- biggest problem are/were the panicing morons... (I particularly enjoyed the lack of red meat and chicken in the store the other day, but no similiar problem for charcoal or any other "alternative" cooking supplies). So far the only thing that's of any consequence that I've noticed isn't working quite-right: my SkyTel Pager... *laugh* Anyone else? Ok... time to finish off the bottle of Dom...

Hey, I'm a suit, and I am sitting here, listening to NPR Jazz coast to coast, in Wash DC, with not one hell of a lot to do.

Hum, if Randy doesn't unload on you now, does that mean he's a closet "suit" out experiencing "anxiety-free whooping"?

Yep. All of my FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Solaris servers survived intact. The only problem we've found is with our NT server reporting 00 as the year in the log files and an old IPAD dos based box that wasn't actually doing anything. -- Joseph W.

y2k rollover and Typhoon/Cyclone (fwd)
by Paul Mansfield 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Not really network issue, but it does seem to be a growing issue. Basically they reject news with date 1900 (Good Thing), and also 00 (Bad Thing). Had a response from bCandid (aka Highwind). Worth watching your news logs and making test posts! Usual disclaimers apply.

I have no further update information for you at this time. As soon as the developers get back to me on this problem. I will let you know. *** update Information I received while typing this. The problem seems to be related to RFC 850, two-digit corruptions of ctime dates. There are no other known RFC compliancy issues at this time. As I understand these date formate are fairly old, and not in widespread use. I will you keep you posted. Sincerely, Chris Hyden Customer Care bCandid Corp

tsmon and y2k
by Tony Mumm 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

I am attempting to confirm a y2k issue with the software tsmon (www.tsmon.com) and certain terminal servers. At the Y2k rollover GMT tonight, the tsmon server started to log people off for being on over 24 hours. This only happened to people that logged on after 2000 GMT. This is monitoring 3com HiperARCs with at least software 4.1.59 and higher. Anyone else experience this problem? I verified that another we manage with its own tsmon had the same problem. I'm very surprised that no Y2k verification was done on this software. Thanks, Tony -- Tony Mumm Lead Network Technician - netINS, Inc.
