very likely due to a configuration change that went into effect shortly before the outages happened (started roughly 1540 UTC).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

authenticate to the systems and people who know what to actually do, so there is now a logistical challenge with getting all that knowledge unified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
