Which is right? That the wrong group is associated with /etc/motd, or that
the 'staff' group is associated with /etc/motd?
If 'staff' is the right group for /etc/motd, then what is the motd group for?
(Just out of curiousity, mind you. ;)

Well, the motd group is supposed to be the group of people who have write
access to /etc/motd. This group, for various reasons, is not equivalent to
staff.

I believe /etc/motd should be owned by group motd. I will send mail to
staff about it.

Hm, I see that /etc/motd is now owned by group motd and writeable
by group, so somebody fixed it. Possibly Marcus, since mdw seems
to be the file owner now...

I sent mail to staff about it, and Valerie fixed it.

I am curious to know if anyone else has been receiving multiple
unsolicited e-mail from a "Free Stuff Queens" list at this host.
Although I have indicated a willingness to file suit against the
owner of the domain, developingdots.com, and also have received
notice indicating my address has been unsubscribed, I continue
to receive multiple copies of the same unsolicited mail.

pine config question ... while i prefer mail to pine (or
outlook express, eudora, etc.) there are times when attachments
are sent adn i use pine to handle that.
so, i created a different directory into which to send email that
needs pine's attention.
although pine does what i want, it starts with an error message
pine
bad context no '[' in context: /path/to/inbox
from setup (reflected in .pinerc)
personal-name = <No Value Set: using "TS Taylor">
user-domain = <Value is Fixed>
smtp-server = <No Value Set>
nntp-server = <No Value Set>
inbox-path = /a/t/s/tsty/pine/INBOX
folder-collections = /a/t/s/tsty/pine/
news-collections = <No Value Set>
incoming-archive-folders = <No Value Set>
pruned-folders = <No Value Set>
default-fcc = <No Value Set: using "">
default-saved-msg-folder = <No Value Set: using "saved-messages">
postponed-folder = <No Value Set: using "postponed-msgs">
read-message-folder = <No Value Set>
so, what is 'context' wehre is there aupposed to be '[' (the
open bracket) and how do i "set values" coreectly to change
(i guess) system defaults where 'using' "whatver" is not explicit?

Well, here is what I see in my .pinerc:
} # List of directories where saved-message folders may be. First one is
} # the default for Saves. Example: Main {host1}mail/[], Desktop mail\[]
} # Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
} folder-collections=IMAP Server {g.imap.itd.umich.edu}mail/[],
} IFS home directory mail/[]
}
} # List, only needed if nntp-server not set, or news is on a different host
} # than used for NNTP posting. Examples: News *[] or News *{host3/nntp}[]
} # Syntax: optnl-label *{news-host/protocol}[]
} news-collections=
However, I don't see a way to set the [] in Config/Setup. Could be because
I'm looking at Pine 4.33

TS, look at your .pinerc with less and with Pine's config

The usual culprits are 'load', which can be checked with the "uptime" command
(in picospan, !uptime at the nearest prompt), and 'network traffic', which
I've not found a way to check from grex (the usual tools are
disabled/restricted because of their usefulness to Bad Guys (TM)).

uhhh, re 100, 101 ... that looks like the um pine stuff although there
is some similarity. and , i *have* looked with both less and setup
NumerousTimes (tm) trying to figure this out.
does your .pinerc explicitly state:
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
folder-collections=IMAP Server {g.imap.itd.umich.edu}mail/[],
IFS home directory mail/[]
(the first-column braces are indent chars, i presume)

for the record, .pinerc states:
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path=/a/t/s/tsty/pine/INBOX
###################### Collections, Folders, and Files #####################
# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox, {host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path
incoming-folders=
and there are no [] indicated anywhere ???????????????????

Yup; that's a copy-and-paste from my current .pinerc. Here's what shows
on grex:

{Elision of remainder. JLG.}
That's all I know.

Last night and this morning, Grex has been randomly killing my connection
after short (five-ten minutes) periods of time. The rest of my internet
connection works fine while this is happening, but I get nothing here. Any
ideas?

try a traceroute from your starting point to grex; look for dropped packets.

Re 112 re 111: This has happened to me intermittently, but way too often,
lately. But I was dialed in, and my starting point was just the term server,
I think.
