Grex Problems Item
| 
Mar 23 04:01 UTC 2003 |
This item is for system problems. If something on Grex isn't working
right (line noise on a modem, weird behavior from a program, etc.),
this is the place to announce it. Except for security holes. If you
find a hole in system security, mail information about it to "staff".

couldn't get to grex OR mnet all evening. Very odd for both to be down at
the same time.

I tried to telnet in Wednesday night: No 311 in queue. Is that common at
9 pm?

After Grex came back on line last night, could not delete read mail
in pine for a while - that feature became active again later in my
connection.

Telnetting to cyberspace.org fails due to some kind of DNS problem.
Telnetting to grex.org works.

When I tried to connect with PuTTY earlier, I got this:
Server refused to allocate pty
Warning: no access to tty; thus no job control in this shell...
mesg: I/O stream 2 improperly redirected
stty: TCGETS: Operation not supported on socket
stty: standard input: Operation not supported on socket
TERM: Undefined variable.

I edited for formatting, as there were only line feeds, no carrige
returns in the lines.

(ssh connections don't drop into the telnet queue. you likely experienced
the condition of connecting via ssh without an available tty. it's more
common if you try to connect via ssh during "busy" periods.)

Speaking of sshd, it's still an antique version 1.

Why bother? Aren't we 100 days away from new Grex machine?

Considering that yet another security hole was just discovered in the
version of sendmail we're running, any security problems in ssh are
probably moot.

I don't think the new grex machine is going to be ready at any predictable
time, any more than the old one was.

I'm having a mysterious problem with e-mail. I type "!mail"
to send mail. I use Mail version 5.5 6/1/90, or so the system
tells me.
Over the past month or so, I occasionally get a
block of random characters instead of the body of a message.
These e-mails are *not* failed attachments. Instead, I
am receiving a screen or two of junk. This happens with
respected e-mail senders like aol and umich.edu. And
it only happens occasionally.
Is this a Grex problem?

Hard to tell without further info. Have you saved any of these messages?

Possibly they contain 8-bit characters which set your screen to an
alternate-character-set mode? I've seen this happen with vt100 emulation in
Procomm. But I don't know that they would set it back, so that probably isn't
it.

Is the behavior reproducable? (sp?)
That is, does it happen consistently every time you display a certain
message or is unpredictable?

There are a lot of viruses currently going around that look like garbage
because they use incorrectly formatted attachments that are meant to
automatically open in buggy versions of Outlook. Some of them forge
'from' addresses from address books, so they might appear to come from a
legitimate source. I get a couple of these a day.

I thought those were all Klez variations.
