One was a phone call from a sherif's office in South Carolina somewhere investigating financial fraud of some sort, the other I don't know th edetails of except that the system needed to be "perserved for evidence" for some period, basicly someone else needed to take my disk and put it on a shelf though I got an image of it to keep running. Mind this system was on a fairly prestigious University and I work in th esystems and network admin group for this network, had I been running the same level of traffic through a private connection I don't doubt the response would have been different. The thing that finally took it down though was stupid. We have a published "emergency contact" number for network operations and after hours it pages the on call people. Once idiots started waking up my coworkes, well it was middle man time. -Jon
