Hi there,

this may be a big fuzz about nothing, but who knows?

15 minutes ago I was working in the cluster in the basement 
of building 16. 
The machine which I was working on was 
between 

m16-034-9: 18.74.0.58

and 

m16-034-11: 18.74.0.60

so I assume its 

m16-034-10: 18.74.0.59

but I could not verify it, since the sticker with the \
machine name and id was removed, and the machine did not
reboot properly.

Here is what I saw:

after logging out, the machine took very long until the
login window popped up.
Meanwhile the console window was showing things like:

timeout while contacting mount daemon on 
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive

followed by a couple of usernames.

Since this is somewhat unusual, I thought I drop a not.

Please let me know what has been going on

thanks
                        Stefan
