Hi Vivek ( long time dude! ),
(yup. dont see you on irc these days.)
'security consultant' who is blocking ports like anything. But problem with sify is, there executives dont listen at all. They cant understand things nor do they try to understand anything, unless you have a corporate connection.
Hmmmm .... I wonder if thats true. Some how I won't besurprised. One year back they had blocked login for all Linux users - I know many on this list had the problem and there were discussions in different forum websites. It took 7 days to solve the whole freaking issue. And by then the case was escaltated to "group leader" after which it was solved in exactly 30 minutes.
All linux user would have blocked corporate users too, thus triggering a chain of complaints. Again, gives strength to my hypothesis of dumbhead sysadmin.
I have been wondering about this. Do you know what wasthe result of the cases? Did they win? Or Sify sent a car full of lawyers in their defence.
