Recently, some moron cracked root on nyx.net, blowing away all four machines
(two login machines, web server, and news server). This took Nyx down
for about a week, so I ended up posting the r.a.m.t. FAQ from this
account (balloon.ml.org), retaining all the other standard headers. I
sent mail to news-answers-request@mit.edu indicating this.
Two questions: first, is this considered to be 'acceptible'? (I don't want
to regularly post from here, becuase it's my machine here at college, and
won't be up from May-August), second, is there anything else I should
have done? Seeing as no one sent a cmsg cancel because the From: header
didn't match what was on file, I guess all is well, but I thought I'd
ask, just in case someone got ticked off by this.
Thanks for any info.
(One more question: what is the procedure for getting an old FAQ posting
with an accidentally messed-up header removed from rtfm.mit.edu? I messed
up posting part 4 of my FAQ once, assigning it the wrong subject header, and
it looks messy in the FAQ archive, and probably takes up space there
unnecessarily).
