Gibson, try dialing into 761-3000 and see if that helps. Not as fast as the
761-5041 pau have been using, but it may help to solve the problem.

Can someone tell me why it takes so long for me to get logged in?
I've been trying for days and have had to give up several times,
today I'm just stubborn. IT;s both via the net and dialup.
I login/passwd then it gets to where it tells me I have no mail
and then hangs for about 10 minutes. I can't do anything but wait.
Once I'm here, the speed is fine. And no, I've made no chages to
my .login.

Re 226: goose, your login shell is set to bash. You might want to run
the "change" program and see if switching it to something else starts
faster.

Re 226: goose, if you continue to use bash, you might want to put lines such
as these in your .profile:
HISTFILESIZE=25
export HISTFILESIZE
If I recall, when I first switched to bash, it seemed to take a *long* time
coming up. It appeared then that reading through my command-history file was
at least part of the problem.

Thanks folks. I changed back to csh, twiddled with my .login and things seem
to run a bit better. I understand the bottom of the passwd issues and am
looking forward to potential speed increases.

Yeah, it got pretty hairy there about 11pm. I gave up and disconnected, it
was so slow. Anyone know what happened?

When I use "locate <filename>", why am I getting "Segmentation fault"
and "terminated: segmentation"?

At a guess, the database it uses is garbaged somehow. I just tried it, & it
found the file I was checking before dumping core.

But we don't have a system non-problems item, so this is a nice place to enter
system non-problems ... as long as there aren't too many non-problems ...

Is it that you don't want the non-problems to drwon out the problems?
As a staff member, that prospect doesn't bother me too much.

resp:236 The problem with locate is that some idiot created an "infinite"
directory. (That is, they created a directory, changed to it, and created
another one, changed to it, and so on ad nausium. Probably with a script,
unless they're really strange) This confuses the program that creates the
locate database, so that locate dies with a segmentation fault when it reaches
the place in the database where this directory is. These directories are a
problem to get rid of. (I believe someone is working on a program to get rid
of them) but they don't cause any problems except for breaking locate.

GREX is running slower than M-net lately.
Why so much time to continue the more in BBS? Just starting
BBS is worthy of a full bathroom break.

Pine on M-Net is back to normal.
Grex' load averages are again well over 20; hence the slowdown.
How about slicing a few ptys?
