Right, Having seen the security document, and realising its about as secure as Alcatraz, I have but two things to say 1) Is there no way we can have FTP for minds, cause its fairly important for me & a few others, like I need to be able to access my files from home and work with them. I know csa7 provides ftp , and The CC doesnt have issues with that (as of yet), so if possible can we get it back. 2) If the answer to the previous is NO, then I would like to suggest that we carry out this plan asap, cause I am getting tired of going to meetings, and talking/discussing/arguing, I think we have done enough. Lets go try get MiNDS> back I better stop now des http://www.may.ie

[Minds-disaster] History report from Meaigs
by David Barrett 12 Dec '00

12 Dec '00

Part of the report: MiNDS (Maynooth Networking and Development Society) was started in 1998 by a group of students from the Computer Science department. The aims of the society were to spread knowledge and interest in computers and to provide a social forum different from any yet available in the college. A number of the students involved in founding the society had experienced similar societies in other colleges, including RedBrick in DCU and Skynet in UL. All of these students had found membership of those societies a positive, and worthwhile aspect of college life, and were surprised to find that such a society did not already exist at NUIM. Most of 1998/99 was spent trying to get a server up and running, since the services we provide are such an integral part of what we do. These services include; personalised e-mail facilities, a society news server, web-pages and as many different types of software development tools and tutorials as we can find, and fit on one machine. We also held a pub-quiz to help increase our funds. By the end of 1998/99, with a lot of support from the Computer Science department, we had a working server which committee members could log onto. During the summer of 1999 a lot of work was done on the server to ensure that member registration would run smoothly, and that members of the society would be able to log on and use our services. During the academic year 1999/2000, we built up a small but dedicated group of members who enjoyed using our services, and were committed to seeing the society flourish. We helped to organise a live music event in the Temple Bar Music Centre in conjunction with other similar societies from around the country.

Screw this waiting around to see what they do to us. I'm going to write up an excellent document detailing a suggested network configuration for us, as well as the document on the security of MiNDS that Dave asked for. I should have it done by tonight.

Re: [Minds-disaster] The Story With Access
by Phil Brennan 11 Dec '00

We need to hear from the CC exactly what they hope to achieve with this "firewall". It sounds highly ridiculous to me, that they should put one of the most secure machines in the college behind the firewall, while the rest of the college is unfirewalled, and highly unsecure. This point needs to be made to the CC, directly. It could also be mentioned casually, that we can fix minds so it cannot be used for similar email bombing campaigns in the future. Also, is there any way we can make the computer science department not take the rap for our web pages? In cases I have heard of, like demon internet in the uk, the service provider was sued, but only because they didnt take down offending content. I would have no problem with the computer science dept pulling down web pages, if what was on them was against the constitution of minds, as well as any other laws. ie, the minds constitution should have a few words to say about what is acceptable on web pages. Its a small price to pay for having full access to minds.
