SW City // Upcoming Server Maintenance

Due to the recent security vulnerability in the Linux kernel (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516949) which we have seen being exploited in the wild, our host will be continuing to upgrade kernel version for the SW City server Friday night. This may affect the SW City Website and Forum, the Academy, SW City Interactive, the SWiki, and any images and sounds hosted on SWCity.net. Please note that the current Linux kernel has been patched and as such our server is still secure from any vulnerabilities, this is just a follow-up update on the kernel version. This may require a reboot but the downtime will be very minimal barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Maintenance Date: Friday, October 9, 2009

Maintenance Time: Beginning at 8:00pm EST

Thanks for the heads up.

I wonder what the Mayor has to say about this and it’s impact on the SW City Government and City Infrastructure.

Syntaxism: “Syntax’s computer servers are never vulnerable to attack. As such, he defines a ‘server upgrade’ as when his catering staff obtain their new seasonal fashions and flavors.”

I thought Legion was banned from these forums.
