Grex System Problems - Fall 2004
| 
Sep 23 01:59 UTC 2004 |
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".

That is the longest 79 seconds waiting for the log-on
prompt followed by the shortest 120 seconds to actually log-in.

That's an excellent example of "making lemonade out of a lemon"!

I suppose a more honest variation would be "You can catch up on M-Net
while you're waiting for a login prompt!"

Again, I'd like to know why in Backtalk my Item List is being seperated
between Favorites and regular msgs. even though I have those options
turned off.

When I try to use talk nothing happens. /usr/local/bin/talk is there.
tel works.

Thank you to whoever fixed the telnet problem. I was so astonished to get
in immediately that I tried to give my password as my login.

I think the reboots associated with backing up the disks solved the problem.
We'll see, now that the back-up is finished, won't we?

How strange. I don't suppose anyone knows what caused it in the first
place but the 79 second delay does seem to be gone..

I am dialing into grex and connecting almost immediately, but now when I
telnet to another shell account, it is freezing up repeatedly for 2 min or
so at a time, and then for 5 min (I hung up and redialed). I think I prefer
the 79-sec wait to connect, rather than having to wait 5x2min while answering
an email.

I have been experiencing the same thing (which is not surprising, since
Sindi and I are on now at the same time). I have had three freezes of
several minutes duration during the past 20 minutes.

Grex is off the net - I'm the only one on, and I dialed in.

Besides Grex being off the net now, I was also unable to connect
via the net at times late Friday evening and Saturday morning; I was
startled to find that net connections worked around midnight Saturday.

Reviewing the party log, it appears that Grex was on the net from
about 3 pm to 6:30 pm today. Sorry I missed it! It's down again
now, I'm dialed in directly.
(*sigh*)

Grex is up, the DSL is (was) hosed. It should be better now.

Thanks Joe.
What kind of DSL modem does Grex need? If I have the right type and we get
a wireless router here, I may consider donating my wired one.
