A birthday announcement. Unless it did change somehow, it was for 5 users
whose logins all began with "a", I think.

I think it may have been left over from last year. I'm not sure if anybody
got around to doing anything here for April Fools this year.

Grex is off the net. scg reported in party that the P50 router at the
Pumpkin was not responding to telnets from Grex, so he's going to
reboot it unless someone else on the staff beats him to the pumpkin.

/var is full, and this seems to have broken party. When I entered party,
I got the "/var full" message, and I could do nothing further except
break the connection to Grex.

Grex has mailbox quotas because otherwise there would be no disk space
for incoming mail. For a few years, grex staff tried to handle this
"manually", but when the usual procedure became (more & more often)
delete the offending account (because usually the person couldn't be
contacted, hmm!) mailbox quotas went into effect. When the quota is
exceeded, grex will no longer accept mail. We tried using a "temporary"
failure for this at first (which means if you caught it quickly enough,
you wouldn't lose any mail) but we had to give that up as well & return
a permament error because some mailers, when they get a temporary error,
try again right away, and grex couldn't afford the CPU to keep rejecting
that mail many times a minute.

I had a rather unusual occurance with BackTalk today. I tried to
connect at www.cyberspace.org/cgi-bin/bt and it timed out. When I tried
www.grex.org/cgi-bin/bt everything worked fine.

I hit CNTL-X to send an e-mail, only to get the message "illegal command: core
dumped" The system froze until I exited out of the program entirely.

I don't think there is any difference between the names 'grex.org' and
'cyberspace.org'. There may be some weird situations where Backtalk is
temporarily slow in responding (due to a locked file or some such).
This is especially likely when the load on Grex is high.

Is ther any particular reason why in the middle of reading Agora through
backtalk that I can't get into backtalk at all? I was halfway done when I
was asked for my password, after typing it in a half a dozen times it
still won't let me connect and now I'm logged in through telnet, which is
working fine. Help?

Party is complaining that /var is full. (/var/spool/mail is a separate
partition, and thus not to blame.)

Today's problem is that telnet connections are being very unstable.
See the party log over the last hour to read lots of people, from
different ISPs, whining about being dropped or having connections
freeze.
