I went over to UITS and took a look at Nebka. As you suspected, there seems to have been a filesystem corruption problem of some kind. The console was full of EXT3 errors. I shut down the computer and forced a complete fsck on restart. After the disk check, Nebka seems to be working again. I took the liberty of creating an account for myself so I could log in remotely via SSH. SSH seems to be working, along with Apache, although when you connect to nebka.uconn.edu via the web you get the Apache startup page. I don't know anything about what services Nebka is offering, so I have not checked much further.
Please try to connect to Nebka and see what, if anything, is still broken.
The disk has crashed again. I have no backup for the crucial data in /home/aras. The most important there are /home/aras/acis/userdata and /home/aras/acis/backup
If the machine is kept running, that data may go away. If you guys don't have a local backup, we would be in a severe fix.
If someone can make it there as soon as possible, take a backup of /home/aras, and put in a new disk with a basic debian o/s in it, I can then work on restoring service. The disk that we have there now is a gonner.
