Introduction

This machine was installed with Link, to counter Anker to break into a Windows2000 machine. If you break in, and can reproduce the results, we will give you the machine. Good luck.

NOTICE!!!!! You can still win the machine, but the rules have changed! See Below!!!!!

The week long challange came to an end early this week. We will send out a summary of the results shortly. At this time, we ask that you cease any attempt to break into this machine. However, if you can send us a method to break into a machine that is configured the same way, we will send you the machine. The advantage that we have over Microsoft is that you can get LinuxPPC 1999 now - you do not need to use our machine, you can set up your own. More details provided here.

Recent status highlights

August 17

04:53 CST: Finished most of my email. Related to this contest: Guestlog filter finished, server status added, some news links added. Several questions about why the machine crashed and why it wasn't back up sooner. Brian grabbed the the status from the last minute. The load average is low, but it is using most of swap. It may have been the cron that started the stuff that help run it out of ram. (I still argue with Brian that less swap might have kept if from crashing.)

August 16

13:50 CST: Going thru email now that I'm back: Brian pointed out Illiad's user friendly comic about this

August 12

12:20 CST: Contest over as far as this machine is concerned. Please read the above note. -J

August 11

07:00 CST: All the machines here are getting about 75% packet loss to gateway. Web browsing and e-mail reading for me have ceased, just the blinking on the hub to watch. This machine isn't under a big pounding right now, it mostly the network as far as I can tell. -B

01:50 CST: The pages have been updated, note I declare the reboot a crash. And on another topic, flooding our network doesn't help you get in and gets old real quick.

August 10

17:45 CST: Ok I got stuck on the phone all day, and being the only one still here, came in today discovered crack had run out a RAM around 3 am. I could still switch consoles, and last snapshot of stats shows 3 MB of RAM and 4 MB of swap left free, so it was hung. I may have won a long standing arguement with this, "always have at least 2x RAM as swap." Oh well, it would have been up sooner if someone had been around to see it hung. -Brian(Not on the phone anymore).

August 9

14:10 CST: ok day 6 of uptime, only problem is that I must have looked at the ethernet cable bad this morning. Lost net connection for about two hours today when I moved the monitor cable off the machine. Must have bumped our self made ethernet cable, went to lunch, and came back to hear reports of people crashing the box. After fifteen minutes, I could ping when wiggled the cable. I guess that will teach me to make shoddy cables. -Brian(not at Linux World Expo).

08:33 CST: up 5 days, 21 hours. w2k people posted password to the test machine, but no mention of a service to actually allow you to connect(like telnet.) And not any link to us either: Then again, maybe they don't want their customers to know about all their options.

August 8

12:36 CST: up 5 days, 58 min. I think Microsoft is getting the point by now, but if you still want to wait around for windows2000, go right ahead.

August 7

18:51 CST: As Microsoft has a guestbook, I finally had a chance to make one also. Here you go: guestbook

16:38 CST: Omer Shenker submitted a better page! Now that I put it on the site, maybe he has cleverly won?

16:09 CST: Peter Downs emailed this gem: "I guess Micro$oft was right, you can't break into a win2000 machine. Unfortunately, their strategy seems to be keeping the system down as long as possible instead of security."

14:00 CST:Continuous 4 days of uptime. I would have liked to challenge Microsoft to add a remote administration service( similar to telnet) to the W2k box, but it seems they are having too many problems as it is :)

August 6

06:39 CST: Wow - what a day! Machine rock solid again here. Windows box has crashed so many times it's gotta hurt. Can you even call a machine like that a server? Over the last 12 hours, even with the load today, the processor has been averaging 90% idle. Now that the workday is done and all, I'm playing xsoldier on it across the network.

12:00 CST: Some people have questioned the lack of graphics/etc on this site. So, I put up one: A screenshot of LinuxPPC starting up the macos and shuting down windows.( Lots of people have asked about how to do this Sheepshaver is not out yet, you can get bochs for running windows. )

August 3

(sometime around noon): It's nearly impossible with the above configuration. I've enabled telnet to make things interesting. Still no sendmail yet though...
