I am pleased to serve the citizens of the City of Tuttle. I am dedicated to working with the City Government Officials and citizens to ensure Tuttle maintains the qualities that makes it a great place to live. Many challenges lie ahead to meet the rapid growth of this community. The citizens of this city worked many hours to help develop a consolidated plan for growth of the city through the year 2020. This plan ensures that future growth is managed in an orderly manner. Having a plan provides direction and guidelines to ensure city services are available to accomodate the demand resulting from increased growth. I welcome new ideas to enrich the community and provide a better quality of life for all residents. Please call me, or come by my office at City Hall. My door is always open and I answer all calls.

I feel sorry for your city.

 

CentOS is an operating system. It is probably installed on the computer

that runs your website.

 

We hope you are happy with it, since we produced it for free and you are

able to use it without paying us ... and are even threatening to have us

arrested for providing to you free of charge.

 

Please contact someone who does IT for you and show them the page so

that they can configure your apache webserver correctly.

 

Thanks,

Johnny Hughes,

CentOS 4 Lead Developer

It is not a website ... it is the operating system.

 

I would be glad to help you configure your webserver.

 

Do you own the machine that your web site is on, or is it at a hosting

provider.

 

If it is at a provider, they need to properly configure their webserver.

 

If it is on your machine, your apache needs to be properly configured.

 

I am assuming that you are seeing a page that looks like this:

 

http://centos.hughesjr.com/testing/noindex_new.html

 

If so, it tells you exactly what needs to be done to fix the problem.

If your server is at a provider location, they should be able to fix it

if you tell them about the issue.

 

We didn't DO ANYTHING ... that is what the default apache setup looks

like if you are running our operating system (CentOS). So how your

configuration file has been replaced by the default one ... that is not

something that we can do, it is something that might have been done by

the administrator of the machine.

 

IF you are not sending these e-mails via the CentOS.org homepage, please

reply to this e-mail so that I will know that.

 

Thanks,

Johnny Hughes

Jerry,

 

I/We didn't install any software ... I am trying to tell you that.

 

I am asking you as nicely as I possible can to explain what the problem is.

 

I have tried to explain to you what CentOS is.

 

It is an operating system ... a version of linux.

 

It does not install itself ... it requires someone to install it.

 

If you will not let me help you, or at least talk to someone who knows

what Linux is, then you will look like an idiot.

 

Your choice.

 

Thanks,

Johnny Hughes

Mr. Taylor,

 

My name is Johnny Hughes, I am a software engineer and I am a developer

of CentOS. I live in Corpus Christi, Texas.

 

I have been published in several magazines ... here is my latest

article:

 

http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/65

 

http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/65/CentOS_4.2.pdf

 

 

CentOS is a legitimate operating system ... that is what it is. It is

like Microsoft Windows, RedHat Linux, or Apple OSX ... It is not

possible that it was installed without operator action. I have no idea

what you think has happened, nor what has given you the idea that the

CentOS Project is involved in any way.

 

CentOS is not spyware, it is not spam. It does not take over websites.

 

If you will not let me help you, find someone you know who is computer

literate and has heard of Linux to look at your problem. I am trying

very, very hard to save you from great embarrassment.

 

You may certainly call the FBI if you want. I may call some law

enforcement agency or attorney myself if you don't stop throwing around

accusations and stop threatening me without just cause.

 

Please, for the love of God, either let me help you or talk to a

computer administrator who can help you with your problem.

 

Thank You,

Johnny Hughes

CentOS-4 Lead Developer

I have four computers located at City Hall. All of these computers display

the same CentOS page when attempting to bring up Tuttle-ok.gov. Now if your

software is not causing this problem, how does it happen??? No one outside

this building has complained about this problem. This is a block of public

access to a city's website. Remove your software within the next 12 hours or

an official complaint to the FBI is being filed!

 

Third correspondence to this location.

Johnny,

This a message to notify you that your webpage has blocked an "Official"

website that is used to provide public information regarding City Council

meetings including notifying the public of the agendas. Failure to provide

the agendas on the City's website is a violation of the open records act of

Oklahoma. You claim no responsibility but the city did not subscribe to your

software and the city did not authorize you to display it when the city's

website is selected.

 

You have officially been notified and given an opportunity to correct the

situation without legal intervention. The rest is up to you!

Jerry

Mr. Taylor

 

Stop with the FBI already. If CentOS is on the computers, it was

installed there by someone who controls the computer.

 

Who installed the operating system on those computers? Who is the

administrator of the computers and have you contacted them?

 

If the operating system that is installed on the computers is CentOS,

then it was installed by the administrator if the computer.

 

Are you not understanding what I am writing?

 

Please talk to the person who controls the computers ... or give me a

name and an e-mail address and I will talk to them.

 

If someone who is computer literate doesn't take care of this situation

I will be forced to send these ridiculous e-mails to your local media.

I'm sure they will be able to understand what I am trying to tell you.

 

Please, I have asked you at least 3 times to have your administrator,

the person who installed the operating system on those computers, to

look at them.

 

Thank you,

Johnny Hughes

We don't display anything ... you have yet to even tell me the name of

the webserver in question.

 

I am very tired of your threats when you have yet to even show me what

your problem is.

 

You obviously do not understand what I am trying to tell you, is there

no one on the city council or in your building who understands what an

operating system is.

 

If you would like me to help the administrator of the computers in

question, I would be happy to. However, we did not install anything,

anywhere.

Johnny,

I have contacted the City's network administrator wnd he has done nothing to

install your CentOS software. I have contacted our Internet provider and

they know nothing about your software. I am computer literate! I have 22

years in computer systems engineering and operation. Now, can you tell me

how to remove "your software" that you acknowledge you provided free of

charge? I consider this "hacking". I have no fear of the media, in fact I

welcome this publicity.

Just correct this problem and leave this system alone in the future.

 

Jerry

Mr. Taylor,

Even though I have repeatedly asked you to contact your service provider

or your network administrator, you have persisted to instead harass me.

I have repeatedly offered to help you fix your issue, if you would just

provide me with information. You have chosen neither provide me with

information or contact your hosting provider ... so I decided to see if

I could find some of the information myself.

 

I found the website that you are having problems with by looking at

http://www.Tuttle-OK.gov/ and I saw an e-mail address of

cityoftuttle.org ... so I went to www.cityoftuttle.org and I see the

problem.

 

As I tried to explain to you before, that page is displayed when the

webserver in question is not properly configured.

 

The IP address that is returned from a name lookup of

www.cityoftuttle.org is 65.77.67.7. That is the IP address of your

server.

 

Doing more research, I have found that the site in question is hosted by

Vidia Communications. If you look at this page

 

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=www.vidiacom.com

 

you will plainly see that Vidia Communications uses CentOS as the

operating system for their server.

 

So, though I have told you again and again that you need to contact your

service provider and tell them of your problem, you obviously would

rather threaten me and my group.

 

Now, for the last time ... contact your web server provider, Vidia

Communications, and tell them that they have a misconfiguration on the

server that they are hosting your website on.

 

While you are at it, why don't you ask Vidia Communications why it is

that they choose CentOS to host your webserver on.

 

So you see Mr. Taylor, you ARE using my free operating system to run

your website, you are doing so by choice, it is a configuration error by

the person who choose to install the software and if you would have done

what I asked you to your website would have been up by now.

 

Let me conclude by saying that it is very hard for me NOT to send this

e-mail and all the other correspondence between you and I to

http://www.tuttletimes.com/

 

I will not do so, even though I really do want to.

 

Thank you,

Johnny Hughes

Mr. Taylor,

 

If there are other servers besides the one I already found ... If you

provide me the names, I'll be happy to tell you who the provider is for

them as well.

Johnny,

The problem has been resolved by VIDIA who used to host the City website.

They still provide cable service but do not host the website. The

explanation was that they had a crash and during the rebuild they

reinstalled the software that affected our website.

 

I am sorry that we had to go through the process and accusations to get the

problem resolved. It could have been resolved a lot quicker if the initial

correspondence with you provided the helpful information that was

transmitted in the last messages. My initial contact with VIDIA disallowed

any knowledge of creating the problem.

Jerry,

 

I asked time and again for the name of the web server administrator or

the website so that I could help you.

 

I did the extra research on my own to figure it out for myself when I

was not provided any of that information by you.

 

I also tried very hard to convince you that the problem had to be caused

on the web server and that CentOS could not possibly be installed by

accident or in anyway take over a website.

 

You will notice that in my first and second e-mails, I spell out exactly

how to fix the problem and who should be contacted.

 

Any administrator should have been able to use nslookup, dig and whois

to figure out the problem, which had absolutely nothing to do with

CentOS.

 

I am glad that you got the problem fixed.

 

Thanks,

Johnny Hughes
