Name of Task: Ghost machine, or, Who you gonna call?

People Involved: Eli Ramthun (past)

Date Started: Aug 13, 2018

Deadline: Aug 30, 2018

Description

159.28.23.26 is a ghost: detectable but not responsive to natural stimuli, haunting us.

That IP address responds to pings but is in other ways not accessible.

Thanks to Eli Ramthun for the ghost metaphor.

Status

A ping flood (ping -f) on the cluster network seemed to show it in al-salam.
