System Problems Item
| 
Dec 22 04:13 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".

I haven't been able to dial in to grex and make a connection for 2 or 3 days.
The phone answers, but for some reason my modem can't hook up to the grex
modem. any clues? I've tried 4 or 5 of the numbers.

I could dial in today on the 5041 line, but not on the 3000 line.

Similar problems to the above - get hangup instead of modem's connect
string a couple times on -3000, -3554 worked perfect the first time.

Dunno why it went down, but we're having a little bit of weirdness when doing
fsck during reboots, and nobody could go bump it loose any earlier.

What's with not being able to connect via the dial-ups and
then not being able to telnet from M-net.
Even now, the terminal servier disconnected by first call.

Grex was not attacked. It crashed in a mode that required some mothering to
come back up. For some reason it's been getting unhappy about the /tmp
partition, of all things (that's where worthless temporary files are kept -
it is normally erased on each reboot). None of the staff was able to get
over there and talk to it for a while.

Noticing a few new features with the backtalk upgrade. Not really a
problem, it just takes some getting used to.

First real problem that I've spotted with the new backtalk - while
using Pistachio to read an item, the title bar says "Grex AgoraAgora
Conference - Item 4 - Microsoft Internet Explorer"

Right now I am unable to log on via backtalk. I am getting error wrong
password messages. If I go to http://www.cyberspace.org/cgi-bin/bt I get a
"500 Internal Server Error"

Httpd was running out of processes, so it sometimes couldn't execute the
external authenticator, and sometimes couldn't execute backtalk. Some
idiot was running the web-based finger script on every user on the
system. Could have been one of those obnoxious web spiders.

Having a problem accessing my mail. If I ssh in to grex, then run pine, it
says cannot find /var/spool/mail/ea and then gives me a message about no inbox
being found. If I just use Telnet without the ssh, no such problem.
