Backtalk is not working; it stopped working about an hour ago.  I can
still telnet in, though.

Seems to be working now.  My guess is that httpd died, then got
restarted.

Looking up www.google.com, guessing (no DNS numbers available?).
The internet is not terribly usable with lynx at present.

About three minutes before #277, I noticed that 

        load average: 12.08, 7.59, 6.00

I could be wrong, of course, but I suspect the two events are related.

"nslookup" is freezing up instead of reporting data.

I'm a lousy typist.  I've been known to cut/paste passwords.

Of course, you can log in to Backtalk, where most browsers do echo 
bullets with each keystroke and where the authentication delays are, 
well, different.

I really would like it if login/telnet/etc would accept *both* CONTROL-H 
and DELETE as backspace characters when entering logins and passwords.  
It's a pain to remember which key to use where.

Jan, are you not in probably the very best of all positions to make your dream
a reality?

I've heard UNIX geeks complain before about the lack of concensus on a
backspace key.  The discussions usually result in everyone throwing up their
hands in disgust and frustration.

Re #282:  I'd like that too.  Very much.

Personally, I find single-character backspacing to be pretty much
useless for passwords.  I can't see what I've typed, so I'm never
sure how many characters to backspace to correct the error that
I might have made.  It's largely useless for logins too, at least
for me -- when I catch a mistake, I find it faster to just kill
the whole line (ctrl-U works for this on every system I log into)
and start over.

i should really write them all down somewhere.

Yep.  Post them right here in Agora.  Then you'll always know
where to look.
