This meant taking mail, sup and (briefly) ftp out of service. If you have tried to use these services before the problem was identified and the servers killed, most mail would have been returned undelivered and sup may have deleted files incorrectly (mainly from the Attic subdirectories for people who sup the cvs tree directly). As a result of the extent of the damage, freefall's services may be unreliable or completely unavailable over the next few days until we get the mess sorted out. I am sorry that we haven't been able to inform you sooner, but most of the mailing lists were unavailable because needed files were missing. I think I have now fixed most of the list problems, although there are bound to be bogons lurking in there somewhere yet. Hopefully Jordan will re-send his message which was lost earlier due to the lists being down. It should be more complete and detailed than I have been here. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Hubbard" Sender: announce-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, for better or for worse (and some of you will have different opinions on this) the CFV on the comp.os.bsd.* reorganization passed. There are now 386bsd, FreeBSD and NetBSD specific groups. Despite any misgivings people may have about the split, I think it's incumbent upon us to now make the best possible use of our new newsgroups. I would also like to extend special thanks to Kaleb S. Keithley for dealing with the incredible amount of suffering and debate that this whole process entailed. Whatever their opinion of the outcome, I don't think that anyone can argue that Kaleb put in a great deal of work for absolutely zero reward. It's an absolutely thankless job, and Kaleb did it! Thank you, Mr. Keithley!

The name is "comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.*", not "comp.os.bsd.freebsd.*". Apparently, FreeBSD is a BSD derived UNIX.

For what it's worth, I wanted comp.os.freebsd.* but that wasn't to be.. Anyway, "unix" or not that's part of our newsgroup name. Jordan
