For quite some time now, Sarah's had long delays on any actions her account tries, including login, simple things like ls, and basically everything but cd. Karl has had an issue where he is instantly booted, where all logs are showing successful logins. The problem spread to Dan for a few days and stopped affecting him. It recently spread to Sam, and now Kyle. It's not an issue of the most recent users, because Pari and Jishnu would have it. I haven't been able to see anything in the logs anywhere showing anything. Quite frustrating. | For quite some time now, Sarah's had long delays on any actions her account tries, including login, simple things like ls, and basically everything but cd.

The "spreading" account problems
For quite some time now, Sarah's had long delays on any actions her account tries, including login, simple things like ls, and basically everything but cd. Karl has had an issue where he is instantly booted, where all logs are showing successful logins. The problem spread to Dan for a few days and stopped affecting him. It recently spread to Sam, and now Kyle. It's not an issue of the most recent users, because Pari and Jishnu would have it. I haven't been able to see anything in the logs anywhere showing anything. Quite frustrating.
