As of 11am this morning, April 11th, systems staff determined that the samba servers used to access home, scratch, and fortress storage have a critical vulnerability. As a result we are working on getting these servers patched as soon as possible. You may experience issues connecting to samba.rcac.purdue.edu and fortress-smb.rcac.purdue.edu for the next few hours.

Another notice will be sent at 2pm or earlier. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
