System Problems Item
| 
Mar 21 03:08 UTC 2000 |
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".

Grex seems to be acting slow lately, although it's probably just me,
because a lot of other sites have been slow lately for me too.

I've been having sporadic trouble getting the modems to answer. I'm dialing
in on both 3000 and 3411. Sometimes I get a "does not answer" response from
my software, and sometimes I get connected but never get the "Welcome to Grex"
or a login prompt.

It's April 1, and I haven't seen any evidence of the April Fools Day
"pager jokes" Do you have to be telnetted in to see them?

Should the collection of five names change on each login?

the MOTD joke is fairly tame, compared to some of the stuff that's been
done in the past.

(I vaguely remember something to staff saying that, with popcorn
focusing on arlo, others would have to pick up the April slack.
that might have been last year, tho'.)

Hm, if I'd been around on April 1, I could have set up the
legendary Mary Poppins Filter.
Or perhaps not.

A birthday announcement. Unless it did change somehow, it was for 5 users
whose logins all began with "a", I think.

I think it may have been left over from last year. I'm not sure if anybody
got around to doing anything here for April Fools this year.

Grex is off the net. scg reported in party that the P50 router at the
Pumpkin was not responding to telnets from Grex, so he's going to
reboot it unless someone else on the staff beats him to the pumpkin.

/var is full, and this seems to have broken party. When I entered party,
I got the "/var full" message, and I could do nothing further except
break the connection to Grex.

Grex has mailbox quotas because otherwise there would be no disk space
for incoming mail. For a few years, grex staff tried to handle this
"manually", but when the usual procedure became (more & more often)
delete the offending account (because usually the person couldn't be
contacted, hmm!) mailbox quotas went into effect. When the quota is
exceeded, grex will no longer accept mail. We tried using a "temporary"
failure for this at first (which means if you caught it quickly enough,
you wouldn't lose any mail) but we had to give that up as well & return
a permament error because some mailers, when they get a temporary error,
try again right away, and grex couldn't afford the CPU to keep rejecting
that mail many times a minute.
