My sister Meg (and I) would love it if Grex didn't interpret her
"mintsol.com" as spam. I would like to be able to receive her email.
Can this be fixed?

Yesterday, 2004.08.13, from about 2pm-6pm backtalk was extreamly slow,
also Telnet and SSH connections failed. Backtalk was so slow IE could
not cope, but Netscape could.

Any reason for not being able to phone in Friday and early
today, while the system has been up for 26 days?

Looks like we had someone using up lots of resources. A staff member was
able to visit the Pumpkin and kill off the user's processes.

I get the following message when logging in using ssh-1 from Terminal in Mac
OS 10.3.2
Warning: Server lies about size of server public key: actual size is 767 bits
vs. announced 768.
Warning: This may be due to an old implementation of ssh.
The connection works OK thereafter, so what is the significance of this
warning?

I tried to get my mail, I got permission denied. An aftereffect
of catching up on the mail?
like /tmp/Rxa06999: permission denied.

Okay, I believe I have /tmp permissioned correctly now. I'm still a little
groggy, so holler if that's not it.

I crashed Backtalk just now by hiting the 'Next Conf' button. I didn't
copy the whole error (I assume it's logged somewhere) but here's the
first part. Looks like there's a permission problem.

Yeah, there were some problems restoring agora49 (the previous agora to this
one). A lot of it's files are munged.

I realize that grex has just gotten back "on the air". But could someone give
us the Reader's Digest version of what happened to grex? What was done to
fix it? Why was it so hard? Is this likely to repeat? Whether or not the
same thing could happen on Next Grex?

With the problems that grex experienced, would there have been any way to
display some terse "system down because X" + auto-logout during connection
via telnet or dialup?
