there were no problems with the new factotum in rolling out a new auth server, network and file server today. in fact the network was the only difficult bit, and only because routers have commands that appear to me to be cryptographically secure; brute force seems to be the most efficient algorithm for figuring out which ones to use.
big kudos to russ for doing the hard bits of rearranging factotum. the old structure was esentially stack-ripped. the new structure is linear and much easier to follow. - erik
