Two little announcements on the SourceForge site: 2008-03-06 14:21:20 - Project CVS Service, Project Shell Service, Project Subversion (SVN) Service ) As of 2:20PM Pacific time, project shell, CVS, and Subversion services will be unavailable for system maintenance. ( 2008-03-06 14:23:47 - SourceForge.net Web Site ) In support of improved security, all SourceForge.net user passwords have been expired and must be changed upon next login. CVS, Subversion and Shell users will need to login to the site to change their password before they will be able to access these services. I'm going to assume that these events are related; someone needed to lock down the system after a security incident, and they don't know what passwords have been acquired. We need to assume the worst. 1. Follow the instructions; change the password. 2. If you have been logging in to shell.sf.net and then using ssh to connect to another site, assume your password has been grabbed. Change it. 3. If you have used the same password(s) anywhere else (a very bad practise) change them too. -Steve -- ----------------------- Hewlett-Packard Limited Registered Office: Cain Road, Bracknell, Berks RG12 1HN Registered No: 690597 England |
