I was just wondering if there was any way to recover a lost password for an account? I know that the answer is most likely no, but I figured I would ask just to be sure. Thanks for the help. Sean (18 years ago, 20-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Important: Index rebuild under way and some other issues
 
Good morning, thanks to feedback from some users I noticed that image display in the LUGNET Guide did not work properly. I have reinstalled the image set und fixed a couple of links - now everything appears to be operational again. Regards, Jerry (18 years ago, 20-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Important: Index rebuild under way and some other issues
 
Ok, my apologies - I've learned a bit about history and news server ports used by LUGNET :-) Okay, from now on, ports 119, 1119, 8000 and 8080 are operational for NNTP access again. I will be monitoring usage of the individual ports and if I find (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Important: Index rebuild under way and some other issues
 
Just to keep you all updated, the rebuild of the search index is still under way - apparently there is quite a lot to index after about 8 years of service ;-) It seems that the issues some of you reported will be gone after the rebuild completes.

  Re: Important: Index rebuild under way and some other issues
 
(...) Mike, you got me here: 8080 is certainly no port I heard of so far (it's a common "high" port for some webservers, but AFAIK only 8000 and 1119 are said to have been used for NNTP client access). Please tell me we have a misunderstanding here (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

Using the link it provides (or the multiauth.cgi) does work, so I guess for now we'll have to use those, (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
