lug.mtu.edu outage

[Tim Carmean <tecarmea@xxxxxxx>]

Hey guys I just wanted to say that I was typing while tired and thats 
why the lug server went down around 2am this morning.  I was working on 
adding firewall rules for jabber transports and screwed up an iptables 
line that effectively firewalled off all outgoing traffic (iptables -P 
OUTPUT DROP != iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1863 -j ACCEPT).  
Someone with physical access will have to go there in the morning and 
change the OUTPUT policy to accept (iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT), and 
check the rc.firewall script for the last line in the jabber section 
(what I was working on) for iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1863 -j 
ACCEPT.

Sorry again guys, it was a stupid mistake.

Tim
