Grex System Problems - Spring 2006
| 
Mar 21 10:23 UTC 2006 |
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".

I was looking for fast free webmail providers for someone and the two best
ones I found are no longer free to new users, due to abuse.

Gmail is not fast and it requires a huge browser such as Firefox. It also
appears to send HTML by default. See item 22.

Gmail does *not* require a huge browser; it works best in one but can function
with "bare HTML." Signing up may take a graphical browser, but once that's
taken care of you can view it with any browser that supports cookies.

excuse me for speaking up, but, grex has a mission that is severely
compromised, yet again, by *some* sort of .... something.
free access, free email, free confrencing, free party, free unix.
to me, those are not too difficult to maintain/sustain.
we have lost *old* email and now we are losing *new* email.
sombody(ies) "in charge" has/have a serious task to accomplish.
hell, even keesan and rcurl are bitching up a strum&drang. what next?
sticking to the basics and refining them, imo, ought to be the fundamental
task/goal/target/desires/obligation/responsibility of BAFF. eh?

Also, Gmail provides free POP service, although POP is not turned on by
default. So if you establish an account with them you can happily use
whatever low-tech mail program your heart desires..

A while ago I remember someone saying that a grexer had run X clients on grex.
I have been trying to do the same but get no joy.
I connect via a PuTTY ssh session; the server I use is Cygwin/X. The PuTTY
Event log says that "X forwarding is refused."

Well, in order for an X11 client to work across machines it needs to
set up a socket connection between the two. My guess is that the
same mechanism which prevents you from telnetting or ftping out from
Grex is also preventing you X client from connecting to your X server.
