Re: sunsite.net.nz

Afternoon all On a related question, has the information in ftp://ftp.waikato.ac.nz/pub/netinfo/nzgate/docs/nzip.latest moved somewhere else? Cheers Si On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Geoff Thompson wrote:

Can anyone tell me what has happened to sunsite.net.nz? It's been unreachable for several weeks now.

As I use the gnu mirror there, I have in the meantime put one up at ftp://ftp.clear.net.nz/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/ -- it will probably take several hours before it is in sync with the master.

Chris,

Due to Waikato and Vic pulling out of the Sunsite project, the service has been taken down (as per our notifications to the 20/20 trust). We are still waiting on the trust to take away the hardware, and run up the service elsewhere.

I was going to suggest that you use 'ftp.waikato.ac.nz' (which was the same host, but has now moved onto a separate box), however, I've just learnt that we've restricted access to that to Campus only users, so it wouldn't help you anyway.

As to when Sunsite returns in a new home, I'm unsure. The 20/20 Trust have been 'working' on relocating it for some time now, due to Waikato informing them that we no longer wished to host the site early to mid last year. We have followed the notification period, as per required in our contract with the trust. But it has been a number of weeks since the service was removed, and are yet to hear anything from the trust.

Regards, Geoff Thompson
