Add another to the list of congratulations! I logged in via telnet yesterday,
and the login: prompt came up so fast, I didn't know what was going on until
I saw the MOTD. The speed increase is great! Good show!

I will have to break myself of the habit of reading a book while waiting to
get to the prompt when I log in, or to the inbox in Pine, which I can now use
in finite time instead of MAIL.

I upgraded the Apache web server to version 1.2.5 this afternoon. With
perfect timing, Apache released 1.2.6 this evening.

Wow - I'm still only number 20 in the telnet queue, but I'm conferencing
happily via Backtalk. Give it a try.

I highly recommend ELM for all those who like the features of PINE but would
care to be a bit more frugal with system resources.

I highly recommend mh for people who want extensive controll of mail but want
more frugality and flexibility. :)

I abandoned ELM in favor of PINE for reasons I don't clearly recall - was
it to be able to shell out with ^Z?

I took my mail off Grex. I feel I can store my own mail on my machine and
lighten the load on Grex. I realize it's like dipping a bucket out of the
ocean, but if everyone who had the capability of using POP mail, did it, there
would be less drain on Grex resources.

mh is the Mail Handler package, a set of programs for dealing with mail
that look and feel like UNIX commands, which is what they are. If you
like UNIX shell commands you'll love mh--if you aren't the type to appreciate
the strange splendor of the UNIX command line interface you'll find them
disgusting.

We've just made a change to the system.
We renamed the new GNU-who to gwho, such that people who
want the new fat-but-slow output can get it, and those who
use the old who (/bin/who) will get the normal output that
has been around forever.
But there are people (like me) who depend in their scripts
and aliai for a /usr/local/bin/who, so no who is a bad thing.
Putting /bin/who in /usr/local/bin/who isn't good, so we got
the old GNU-who from the old Grex, and made that the default
who in /usr/local/bin.
So the new GNU-who is gwho and the old GNU-who is who.
The original who in /bin/who is unaffected.
Did that make sense?

Spring Agora is in need of a movie review item? Maybe
someone who doesn't normally enter a lot of items would
like to do the honors? (It's usually a pretty popular
item.)

I know we don't offer POP mail, Valerie. I meant to say that instead of using
Grex for mail, I was using Juno.
So far, I like it. It has made my e-mail more manageable.

I logged in and tried the versions of who in /bin/who, /usr/local/bin/who,
and /usr/local/bin/gwho, and was not able to distinguish the output
between them. Is there any difference?

gwho is a little more thorough about getting the hostname for a machine
from which a remote user is connected. the downside is that the lookup
process for getting that information is very slow (on the order of seconds
per lookup if it fails.. with 40 or 50 users logged in that can really
add up..

I may already have said this, but I would like to announce that
Backtalk is pleasingly fast since we switched to the new machine.
(It was glacially slow before.) The web is now a very viable way
to do my Grex conferencing.
