Hello,

after the break-in to the Bates linux network remote access has been
restricted. The only gateway for now will be blast05, and here only
explicitly allowed IP addresses will be admitted access.

Please contact Barabara Santorella <bsantore@mit.edu> if you wish the IP
address from where you log on to be admitted.

Best regards,

    Michael

Simon,

Can you give me an IP address (or range) from you wish to connect? I will
allow longins from those addresses to blast05. Also can you can me at
617-742-2100, or give me your phone number and a time I can call (East Coast)
with a new password for you account.
