Hi All,

I have recently taken over maintenance of hfb.pm.org from Henry Hartley.

In addition, there was an apparent hack of the machine recently.
In response to this, I disabled all accounts and disabled ftp on hfb.
I have been reenabling accounts as the requests come in and I get some
info on each account.

Please don't all send requests at once.  I generally reenable an account
within 24 hours.  If everyone requests reenablement at once, then people
really needing back on will suffer.

Trust me that I'm the one most inconvenienced by this :)  I'm just
trying
to prevent another attack as best I can.

If any of you have any comments on things we should / should not do on
hfb, or know of problems that are waiting resolution, email me directly.
I'd love HFB in the subject, but it will get handled without it.
