[ecf-dev] ecf2.osuosl.org

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

This morning the OSU Open Source lab is apparently experiencing an ssh 
attack (i.e. to all machines *.osuosl.org).

One of the machines in that domain is ecf2.osuosl.org.  ecf2 was 
formerly our build machine...about two weeks ago Markus K completed the 
move of ecf2.osuosl.org to the new machine [1] and [2].

Since ecf2 is a fairly old system, it is probably somewhat more 
vulnerable to compromise from this ssh attack (older OS version)...so we 
are going to ask that if the OSU OSL admins want to, that they can shut 
this machine down temporarily.  This is only temporary, but it may be a 
while (e.g. week) before ecf2.osuosl.org is back up.  It will, however, 
be back up eventually.

Please let everyone know via this list if this creates a problem for 
you.  In general, everyone should be migrating over to using [2] for 
accessing ECF build artifacts, but I realize that some may not have 
completed such a changeover.

Thanks,

Scott
