Conference rocks::uk_digital

    Connecting to CARS_UK is currently giving the message
    
    Network partner exited.
    
    I guess there is a problem with the host node. Unfortunately the host
    mod left the company a while ago.
    
    If service doesn't resume next week I'll follow it up.
    In the mean time if anyone knows who the system manager of COSME3 is
    please get in touch with me.

    I've mailed COSME3 system manager to find out what the problem is.
    
    I'll update you here (if thats ok with the mods of this notesfile).
    Please don't ring me about this unless you can help with the situation.

    CARS_UK has magically come back to life !

    Is the SAMPLE_CONFERENCE meant to be write locked? 
    
    
    
    			Stretch.

    CARS_UK seems to have gone walkabout again.
    
    Please don't mail or phone me, hopefully it will return shorty

    Methinks it has something to do with the SEB (or whatever they call
    themselves these days) unplugging DecPark just before lunch!!!
    
    Quite a lot of nodes based in DECpark are still unreachable - teamed up
    with the apparent lack of system manager for Cosme3, I think "it may be
    gone some time!"

 	Not just Deathpark, most of Reading.......

    :) 

    BTW, CARS_UK was unreachable yesterday too. So it probably wasn't the
    leccy company.

    CARS_UK is back on line and now on a node we have control of.
    
    The new address is TERRI::CARS_UK 
    
    Thanks to Laurie Brown and Simon French for setting this up.

    Um, does anyone know what's happend to CHEFS::MS-EXCHANGE. It seems to
    have re-created itself with one topic dated today.

        A combination of a novice user who has selected "create
        conference", and insufficient file protection on CHEFS that 
        has allowed it to work.
        
        Point your notebook to CHEFS::MS-EXHANGE;10 for the correct one
        and hope it doesn't get purged.

I have renamed the latest conference so no modifications
to you notebook are needed.

    I thought this was a feture of MS products:-)

    The problem still exists as of timestamp of this note
    
    /Chris/

    Oh no. Not again.
    
    Goldy.

Fixed again. The problem is that the protections on the 
file are not correct. I'll contact CCS to see if they can 
sort it.

    Is it that someone is doing a CREATE/CONF? If so, why are they calling
    it MS-EXCHANGE? Or is someone being very daft and using CREATE/CONF
    when they really meant READ or WRITE? If so, would it be worth someone
    posting a note in the MS-EXCHANGE conference to remind people how to
    reply to or write a note?
    
    Goldy.

re.97:

If they don't understand VMS security features then tell them to search for
a command procedure called something like move_conferences.com, it sets the
ACLs up correctly and only takes seconds to do all the files in NOTES$LIBRARY.

	Well that's undoubtedly what's happenening - but to be fair,
	although that would be a daft thing to do with the VMS
	character cell notes, it's a lot easier in Teamlinks Conferencing.

	A new user given the name of a notes conference to open might
	reasonably select the FILE option on the menu bar, in which 
	case the only relevant looking option is CREATE CONFERENCE.

	Ian.

I have logged a call to get the protections fixed, I mentioned
the move conference procedure.

There is 240 files, 400836 blocks of notes conferencies in 
CHEFS::NOTES$LIBRARY:
