We have (from the Italian side) access as a user to the
www.ivoa.net server. Plus a sudoer for a couple of other
things.
As far as I know you require root access, and that's
Santosh only.

If we succeed in investigating the issue (readonly)
than we may ask Santosh. But he's not in the
Interop's participants list.
