Installing the accountadm package causes the signup user to be deleted. Looking at the spec file, I'm not entirely sure why.

"For a while I've had this idea of turning Apache into a FastCGI server, that gets invoked by going to some URL on a parent Apache. This would allow users to run Apache under their own UID with an arbitrary configuration, without putting it on a separate port and worrying about how to make it persistent over server restarts. For example, they could enable mod_dav_svn and host a Subversion repo that way. It would be the ultimate manifestation of the scripts philosophy that you should be able to install and configure whatever the hell you want."

Now that Nagios doesn't suck, we can actually see the scripts outage caused by the AFS server restart every Sunday morning. This made me realize a few things:

• Our fallback to hodge-podge isn't just an exceptional condition; it happens every week. Thus it's an even worse idea than I thought it was. Viewers will get confused, and search engines may remove pages from their indexes, if they happen to get a 404 error from hodge-podge at the wrong moment.

• Since the heartbeat script is in the scripts locker, the AFS server that serves it (aegisthus) is a single point of failure. Ideally LVS would check multiple heartbeat scripts in lockers on several different AFS servers, and continue routing connections if any of them respond.
