Probably not the cause (as the shell service downtime is displayed on
the status page), but should you run into strange issues with SF this
can be interesting:
( 2006-07-13 09:23:52 - Project CVS Service, Project Shell Service,
Project Subversion (SVN) Service, SourceForge.net Web Site ) A recent
kernel exploit was released that allowed a non admin user to escalate
privileges on the host pr-shell1. We urge all users who frequent this
host to change their password immediately and check their project group
space for any tampering. As a precaution, we have blocked access to all
project resources by password until the user resets their password.
After the password has been reset, project resources should be
accessible within 5 minutes.
I really wonder why they don't inform their users any better.
