Here at work in the space of two hours or so this morning, we’ve had:

• the student home directory fileserver die, so no one could log in
• problems with the printing server
• problems with computers refusing to talk to the authentication servers
• and the campus SMTP server melt, meaning no mail for anyone (although yay! that one is Someone Else’s Problem)

I swear, the undergrads have wrought upon us a curse. Or something.

*sigh*
