- ogpaik@ugcs.caltech.edu (Paris_Lover) was telling me...
- >Hi, my name is Oon-Gil Paik. I am from Caltech and have been enjoying
- >the IRC world for couple of years. Today, I want to ask opinion
- >from you about what should be done with a server here at CALTECH.
-
- Gee, you've been using the caltech server for a couple years, and
- NOW is the only time you've had a problem? I think there is
- something else involved here.
-
- >Currently , our server is run by some outsider from boston. The person
- >is now controlling the IRC server logging in to our machine far away
- >from the east coast and not letting any one else from CALTECH even
- >become an op. She is always busy with her other work not being so caring
- >to caltech people who ask questions or ask for an op status. To my
- >surprise, she gave a person from some neighborhood university have
- >an op from THIS CALTECH SERVER!!! Currently, no one from caltech has
- >any authority over the server what so ever.
-
- Ayup, that person is me. And I am NEVER to busy to help people.
- I help them all the time. If you read the motd, it says you can
- /msg Rogue_F for help. And quite a few people do it, too.
-
- Granted, Helen isn't around all the time. She's a busy camper.
- But I guess maybe that's why my name is first.
-
- As for your accusations that no one from caltech has
- any authority over the server...well let's see.
-
- thumper@ugcs.caltech.edu (thumper) has op and is admin on the server.
- (FYI he was the original admin of the betwixt server who
- entrusted it's care and continuement with Helen)
-
- heather@iago.caltech.edu (The technical contact for ALL of caltech)
- is fully aware of Helen's running the server, and edorses it fully.
-
- Gee, and you say caltech is in the dark...tsk tsk.
-
-
- >She is not associated with caltech -she was not from caltech undergrad
- >-ate nor caltech graduate and the reason why she is currently holding
- >the server authority is very vague in current situation.
-
- I just gave you the reasons...
-
- >Before I have really serious talk with our sys manager about the fact
- >that it is the highe time for a caltech person who is current at caltech
- >to run his/her school's server -NOT BY SOME STRANGER.
-
- Well, 1) It is admined by a caltech person. 2) It has sysadmin approval
- and 3) So what if Helen isn't from caltech? It seems to me (from my
- original thought) you just want to be an oper and Helen won't let you
- This is some sort of attempt to gain control when you don't need any.
-
- This was attempted not to long ago and as a result we got the silly
- *.jpl.* servers
-
- >, I would like to ask you on alt.irc for opinion.
-
- Well you got fact, not opinion.
-
- >I am not asking a help from you not because the person in boston has
- >been ignorant not only people of caltech IRC participants but also
- >to many people from other parts and I actually witnessed them complaing
- >about the person- the way she is know to those is somehow of dictatorship
- >image.
-
- What are you babbling about?
-
- >Wbut because I believe caltech is now ready to run our server on our
- >own.
-
- The caltech server has been running FINE for quite a number of years...
- Why change it? Helen has the knowledge and experience to admin the server
- Do you?
-
- >Please , email to me with you opnion. your opnion will be hightly appreciated.
- >Don't we need to run our caltech server on our own when we have some people
- >with urge and ability to do so???
-
- Why mail? posting is more fun.
