MCIS Technical Support has requested an emergency reboot of the MCIS IBM
RS/6000 AIX system (Rose) to correct a problem that is tying up a system
resource.
 
The reboot should only take about 15 minutes, and will occur at approximately
5:15pm today.  Services affected will include:
 
    *  NetNews                [unavailable on any platform]
    *  Directory (PHonebook)  [unavailable for queries & mail redirection]
    *  E-mail                 Outbound e-mail from Netscape *if* configured
                                to use SMTP Host MailFwd.MUOhio.Edu
 
For more details on what happens when Rose is unavailable, please consult my
previous posting in advance of last Monday's maintenance downtime.
 
Sorry for the short notice -- Rose will be back in a jiffy :-)
 
John
