Maybe they are. I haven't been keeping track.

Can anyone give us an 'official' explaination as to why Grex was down for so
long the other day?

BTW, "watch" has been reporting that "woot" is logged onto console
for a couple of days now. Perhaps it's just a ghost in wtmp
(or wherever watch gets its info) but if not, even on console leaving
a root user logged in isn't a particularly good idea..

When I logged in: mesg: Unable to find your tty (ttyt0) in utmp file.
Might I have done something stupid to .cshrc or .login? It all seems to work
anyway. I think I set things to force vt100.

I don't believe it's your startup file(s),
and I'm glad it's here not . .
that other Unix system.
Maybe ttyt0 escaped to M-Net.

The system periodically "loses" a tty or two somehow. When one gets
the message described by Sindi, it means you've connected to one of
those "lost" ttys. I had a similar tty tonight. Tels won't work
on a "lost" tty; if this is a problem, just log out and log in again,
and hope you get a different tty. I don't know of anything else
which fails on a "lost" tty.

I got the same message when I logged out and logged in again to a different
account, but today it is okay.

Today grex lost my tty again, but to compensate yesterday it started letting
me save mail messages and things I print (P) with lynx again.

I just figured out why I can telnet from a Linux computer and use Lynx with
arrow keys from my new (keesan2) account, whichhad no .cshrc, but it was not
recognizing the terminal type when telnetting with myold account:
tcsh: No entry for terminal type "linux"
tcsh: Using dumb terminal type
I had to set terminal type to VT100 every time before using Lynx (or the arrow
keys would not work).
My first account had some lines in .cshrc which I did not put there and when
I removed them things worked properly. Now it forces vt100 instead of using
dumb terminal.
Anyway, there is some problem with what used to be the settings in .cshrc
(from about five years ago). THere was a tset line that might have been
interfering with the tset vt100 line in .login. I removed that and everything
else but the personal aliases.

Sindi, I would be curious if, based on what you have learned in your
years of tinkering with computers, you would take a stab at interpreting
it yourself, and sharing that with the rest of us.

Not enough information to respond. Any one given process can look
like that if the system is heavily loaded enough, if it's responsible for
any of the load at all. I'd imagine the real problem at the time is too
many users with too many processes.

Isn't update the process that sync's disks every 90 seconds or so?
If so, than this symptom is simply of an overloaded machine.

Update naturally accumulates time in operation. This is a function of
the amount of disk disk writes, size of the buffer pool, and other
factors. On grex which is usually busy doing something that involves
disk writes, update manages to consume about 1.72 seconds every minute.
That works out to 103 seconds per hour. An accumulated runtime of
546:32 should correspond to an uptime of approximately 13 days 5 hours.
The time update spends is basically part of "sytem overhead". Newer
systems may be more efficient at this, perhaps. OpenBSD does not have
/usr/sbin/update, but it does have a kernel process that does
effectively the same thing. On an ultrasparc1 running openbsd, update
seems to be accumulating only .06 seconds per minute, but this machine
is *much* less busy than grex. On an AIX machines, I got only .03
seconds/minute, but since that machine isn't running ffs but instead
jfs, I don't know that this number is at all comparable.

FTP appears to not be working. I get a connect and then I never
get prompted for my Grex login information. This has failed from
two different hosts on two different networks.
