Can we try to > agree on a moment during the upcoming week for doing this? That was planned to happen on Thursday Nov 19th, but I got no formal report on what happened that day. Should we start thinking about funding the travel to Merida for one of us, during an upcoming week so that the machine gets the attention it deserves....or plan a dedicated work session with a DSA (Debian System Admin) to finally move everything under DSA control somewhere else (I suspect this might take several days and for this, we *anyway* need access to the machine)? César, could an alternative be that you bring the machine back to one of you guys' home (with a standard DSL connection) and we fix things from there first, trying to understand why, when port 22 is opened, the machine is still refusing connections? Our very first goal should be to bring back remote SSH access to the machine, then we should really start thinking about moving it under DSA control as soon as possible, as Joerg suggested. That might require a special work meeting (preferrably physically, just like ftpmasters did recently) with 1 or 2 DSA and Felipe|Nicolas. But *first* bring back port 22 access.
