bywdlfknecht news writer contrary to rumors circulating last week the network server has not been shut down but it has been slowed down recently by misuse of the sys tem said a compu ti ng center official . the network server has been slow because people have been using net work server 3 commonly know as ns3 instead of network servers 1 and 2 which are intended for user purpose said binod taterway se nior user consu ltant in the computing center the system is not shut down it is just slow taterway said people have started using ns3 which they are not supposed to do they are supposed to use nsi andns2 the serverwas shut down for two hours on feb 26 for mainte nance ns3 is meant to provide in formation for network servers 1 and 2 said kevin weiner sys tems programming manager it's not a capacity problem he said it's a software networking problem users trying to access the net work server through ns3 have found logging in di fficult because ns3 must perform other functions before log ging in users this priority system often leaves users unable to log in to the server in the two-minute time period allotted by the software therefore many users are denied access to the network server if you haven't successfully typed in your password within two min utes you'll be turned away he said sometimes you'll be turned away before you get a chance to type in your password a bulletin was put on the server informing users of the purposes of ns3 with a request to users to not try to access it some students were angry about the whole system other students still felt unin formed

far aw there's the same number of 1 he said n halko 95 said i wasn't that ns3 is not intended for tuse id if it isn't then why is it an on all computing sites halko weiner said it was an oversight it will be removed he said no time frame was set for its removal the system is capable of serving approximately 330 users at one time through the three systems however since use of network server 3 is discouraged the systems programmers are upgrading network server 1 . the upgrade should be completed within two weeks weiner said news 1-4 world news briefs 2 holocaust museum 3 change of area code 4
