hi,
polarhome.com's Linux server was down for 3 days... seems there was some problem with xinetd (it could not fork more processes), but I can not answer the question was it an attack or a bug. But the reason, why the whole polarhome was down for so long time is: that there is one, and only one person behind the whole polarhome realm, and if I am on trip or somewhere away (because I am not living from polarhome and I have to do my real job as well). So, if meanwhile something happens and system is not reachable, then it is not reachable for me either, until I arrive. In the worst case my girlfriend can press the reset button but this time she was with me. I am sorry for inconvenience, but as it stated everywhere on the system it is an enthusiastic project for educate purpose and nobody should have commercial service level expectations.
Regards, Z
