On the Sun that Grex used to run on, that was helpful. Now that we're
on much more modern and higher-performance hardware, compilations have
much less impact on other users.

Seems to be a problem with the password file being locked. Nobody can change
their password.

Today I was bombarded with telegrams from triludaa with text spanning three
to four pages.He has written some program to take input from flat files and
telegram user in a loop.He later sent me about 40 spam emails with no from
address or subject using grex smtp.He is really a pain in the ass.

He didn't need to write a programme.

Perhaps we could harness his unused energy by asking him to write some useful
program for grex instead?

It seems every afternoon grex freezes up and crashes. And then we can't get
back on the system for anywhere from a couple of minutes to 15 minutes. Is
there some kind of maintenace going on at that time? Is this supposed to be
normal. Today the crash was around 4:30 pm.

Thu Aug 11 21:28:01 EDT 2005: Grex was hosed, for lack of a better word.
I called provide.net, who power-cycled the machine. We are back now.
(I'm guessing fsck got hung on an unwatched reboot.)

Good to see it back. I'm able to telnet in, but ssh isn't connecting.

I swapped out the (probably) bad modem on 484-0512. Let us know, here, how
the (relatively) new one works.

How do I create a new accout with "newuser" when I ssh into Grex?
I've tried to do this a couple times in the past month, and all I get is
newuser@grex.org's password:
When I type "newuser" as the password I get
Access denied
and it asks for the password again.
Can people only create new accounts from the web?

You need to use telnet or the web to create an account.

That's a bummer. I imagine that a lot of potential newusers don't know that
(or don't know how to implement that). There should at least be a message to
that effect before the first prompt.
