  1. Off topic of your Viewer release summaries. I have yet to see a discussion of what happened last week (Sept. 6) Wednesday regarding login failures. I have not seen anything from the lab regarding it either. Or I have missed it all and I am blind. Any clues for the clueless?

    1. I’ve yet to see anything; however, it may be that the post-mortem into the situation has yet to be finalised. That seemed to be the case when the subject was raised last week. Certainly, the question is liable to be raised at the simulator UG meeting on Tuesday, 12th.
