re #74: I was having the same problem. I can see from doing an ls
on your home directory that you have both a .procmailrc and a .forward
file. I recommend temporarily moving .forward to another filename and
letting mail come in without being procmailed. Procmail doesn't seem
to be working correctly at the moment -- some sort of permissions problem.

I cannot ssh in. I get the following error statement (in Terminal, on
Mac OSX):
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
75:cc:a7:b5:b8:6a:6a:cc:a6:71:20:8d:ed:df:62:72.

Offending key in /Users/ranecurl/.ssh/known_hosts:13
RSA host key for cyberspace.org has changed and you have requested
strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
[Process exited - exit code 255]
I'm on via backtalk: anything I should do to enable ssh, except wait
until things are fixed?

It was not a great idea but now that we've got most of the active
users using the new key and rolling back to the old key would
confuse them.

That's what I thought I should do, but I also thought I better ask.
The result is ssh now works. Thanks!

I notice also that csh has changed how it interprets the prompt options.
My .prompt file is: date +'%a %-m/%-d/%y %l:%M %p %Z'
and it is displaying as: Sun -m/-d/05 5:16 PM EST>

I'm not sure why it changed, but try it without the "-" signs, e.g.:
grex% date +'%a %m/%d/%y %l:%M %p %Z'

re: #75
Thank you Mike. I disabled procmail, now I am able to receive mail.
I am still waiting for outgoing ftp to be fixed.

I've fixed it. The inet_wrap program that wraps telnet, ftp and
other related tools was not running with the correct setgid group.
Should be working fine now for you and the other validated members.

Was mail backed up at all in the last month or so? If so, could you restore
the most recent backup? I know I should have cleaned up my mailbox, but there
were a few things I wanted to keep in there. Thanks. What happened to the
idea of backing up to a different hard drive, remotely?

The backup got over written. The /mirror idea is a great one, but
its only one level 'deep', such that when the cron job wakes up to
make the backup, it gleefully and mindlessly copies over the contents
of whatever to /mirror. We need to teach it to be smarter about things
and to get a larger IDE disk to hold more backups.

can't open folder /var/mail/keesan, no such folder.
Pine won't let me send mail to myself.
My spam that got put in a spam folder was not lost ;=)

We probably ought to change the script to not mirror any given
partition with more than a certain percentage size delta between
the primary copy and its mirror, and mail a warning to staff
instead.

The rsync script needs to not copy over a null partition;
that would be a great start, sigh.

I still can't use pine. Not that anyone is likely to write me here until
things stabilize.

I am getting a lot of odd messages in my log for spamassassin (some of which
is **BOUNCED**) and cannot write to /var/mail/keesan - maybe that means it
is all bouncing to the sender.

I agree that an inactive account in the staff group is a security risk
to the system, so I removed valerie from staff, however I've left her in
the other groups for the time being.

I think I fixed Sindi's problem but I'm confused about it. A test
account I keep didn't seem to have any problems starting pine with
no file in /var/mail. I'm wondering if others have seen this.

I can now receive mail. My only two mails were one that was returned, and
a spam that arrived at 6:14. It is now 5:45. Does grex set its clocks for
daylight savings time? I could also send myself a mail. Thanks.
Spamassassin appears to be working. In .procmailrc I had it set to use a copy
in someone else's account. I am getting long error messages so I remarked
it out of my .procmailrc.
