Or a way to wrap lines in names so that they don't split mid-word.

Aside from ugly wrappinng, Picospan seems to have no problem displaying long
names.

AFAICS, Picospan doesn't wrap long names at all. The wrap is imposed by the
terminal emulation used by the user.

They can't? What do you do in the perennial hypothetical case where someone
posts a credit card number?

In that perennial hypothetical case, cfadm or root edits the response.
Incidentally, they can edit the pseudonym too.

wierdness:
fuzzman@cyberspace.org's password:
Warning: Remote host failed or refused to allocate a pseudo tty.
Warning: no access to tty (Bad file number).
Thus no job control in this shell.

Is someone hogging ttys?

Grex rations ttys to limit usage. If you telnet in and we are out of
ttys, you get put in a queue. If you ssh in ... yucky things happen.

Yup, if you get the 'failed or refused to allocate a pseudo tty' message,
it's best to kill that ssh session and either telnet in, or try again later.
It's rare to have a long queue these days, so often trying ssh again a few
minutes later works fine.

grex timing out mail connection attempts from other systems continues to be
a problem (refusing / unable for > 1 hour). In this case, I'm talking about
Ford, not some spam-factory. This is now what I consider chronic; is this
because grex now receives so much e-mail that it can't handle all foreign
systems? If so, I posit that to be due to so much spam. Does staff have any
time to investigate why mail connections are being refused this way?

I only had problems with two particular senders, whose systems timed out or
something. THe rest of my mail gets through all the time.

Grex was breifly timing out for me, but that went away, and hasn't come
back, so I assume it was high load. I get mail from Grex all the time,
and regularly, as I'm staff, so there doesn't seem to be a general
cronic mail delivery problem on Grex. I'm not a mail guru, so I can't
help beyond that.

I am also in the situation of getting no e-mail for most of a day
or even close to two days, then getting a huge backlog.
Seriously, folks. If we no longer have the capacity to be the
mail drop for a big chunk of the third world, let's cut them off.
They are not part of the Grex community and are threatening our
very existence. Let them use Hotmail or Yahoo.

Don't assume that mail is all they use. I know that I see a fair number in
party.
I'm not privileged to look at the logs, so I can't attempt to do any
diagnosis of a potential problem.

I got my first porn spam at board@cyberspace.org.
I would assume that's a big chunk of the problem.
