- We've also had some of this lately. (MSU's net consists of about 30 servers,
- all LAN connected) Quite a nuisance, causing bounced mail, services
- unavailable and missing people in STDA. We've fixed it by adding a dummy
- group to the missing server, which seems to update Streettalk campus-wide.

- Not sure where we learned this trick, somebody came up with it about two
- years ago under similar circumstances. I'm hoping that Streettalk III is more
- robust!
