> Grex locked up because /usr/local filled up.
What is that [partition] used for, and how did it fill up?

It's used for various lcoal (i.e., machine/host specific) configurations and
programs. It filled up with core files had been saving, but we didn't really
need. There are also some log files on that partition, I think. It was
probably writing to one of them that immediately filled the disk partition.
Removing the core files solved the problem.

what is it about the difference between logging in by regular
telnet versus ssh that allows mail by telnet but says thre
is no mail by ssh.
i can invoke the -f flag and my mail file by ssh though.
curious behaviour methinkxx.

If your .login file does not include the line
source /usr/local/etc/global.login
you can add the lines
#ssh is setting $MAIL wrong, so let's re-set $MAIL here: -vm 1/30/01
setenv MAIL `/usr/local/bin/maildir $USER`

Re resp:227: sshd does not set the MAIL environment variable properly.
Resp:228 is correct if your shell is csh or tcsh, which is what tsty
seems to be using.
For those of you who use bash, you probably want this in your .profile:
MAIL=`/usr/local/bin/maildir $USER` ; export MAIL

What might it mean if a foreign host trying to ftp into grex were shown the
following, after the correct password were accepted:
230->>>NO PSYBNC<<< >>>NO EGGDROP<<< NO NO NO!!!!! Won't run here!
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
Note that the same foreign host has no problem telnetting into grex - that
is happening right now.

You're not trying to ftp in as 'anonymous', are you?

No - I enter my grex username & password. It even knows if I use an incorrect
password. Of course, all I "know" about what the foreign host is doing w.r.t.
ftp is what I see on the screen. Since I assume that inbound ftp to grex
works in general, I suspect it must be something about how the foreign host
is connecting etc. to grex. What does the 421 condition truly mean?

Hmm...it worked for me, but Grex's FTP daemon seems really sluggish. I
wonder if your connection is timing out somehow.

Could be. I just tried connecting, twice. First time it timed out
with a 421 error. Second time, I made it in and got to the ftp>
prompt.

I just logged in and found 72 newresponse items in agora, but they are
mostly false - what shows are just item headings. Is there another
scribbler at work now?

FYI, I still get 421 every time I ftp-connect to grex from the only foreign
host from which I would do that.

Just now, it seems I am unable to ftp-connect (I waited for a while with no
response, then broke out via Ctrl-C). In the past, I successfully
ftp-connected with grex, but after logging in, I was immediately given a 421,
but immediately, with no mention of a timeout.

I just ftp'd to my Grex account using the client Fetch. It took quite a long
time to get through, but it did eventually.
