Re 112 re 111: This has happened to me intermittently, but way too often,
lately. But I was dialed in, and my starting point was just the term server,
I think.

Amidst a download of a pile of e-mail, I got this on my tty:
Sat Jan 26 13:52:03
This terminal has been idle 15 minutes. If it remains idle
for 5 more minutes it will be logged out by the system.
Can't Grex recognize that a terminal running something like sz
is NOT idle and should NOT have unwanted data dumped on it,
let alone be cut off?

I'm rather puzzled as to how you saw the message, if it was in the middle of
a file transfer.

The "down until approximately 1 PM" notice on Grex was still playing
at 1:42 PM. If backups are going to take longer or be started later,
it would be much friendlier of staff to correct the estimate to be
closer to reality.

The problem may be that if it's not known that it'll take longer before
the backups are started, changing the estimate would require modifying
a filesystem being backed up, which is generally considered a Bad Idea.

Re #119: Not necessarily. It's possible to put both multiple filesystems and
multiple OSes on a single machine, and even on a single hard drive! A small
special purpose OS/filesystem could be dedicated to showing the estimate and
running the backup software.

Re #117: It was actually just a bit after downloading over 1/2 megabyte
of e-mail and conference text. Regardless, it should not have occurred.
Even if the idle-killer checks the tty to see if it's in raw mode and
ignores it, one could be logged out immediately after finishing a
download if the timing is exactly wrong.

Grex does not appear to be running the Network Time Protocol daemon, and its
clock is coming up on a minute fast.

threr might be an Xnix version as well, but nistime32 (googls search)
is an excellent windoze time synchronizer, fwiw. even works
on xp!

Re: 110 - Back when I first deployed Pine at UM, I used the IMAP protocol.
I doubt that anything has changed since then. If you set your mailbox to
{mailserver.name.whatever}INBOX, Pine will attempt to use IMAP to connect to
it.

Thanks to whoever fixed the modems (if anyone did) so that I was able to
download 43 packets with kermit instead of crashing after packet 12,
at normal speed. Are the newer faster modems installed now?

I'm pretty sure you can just specify the file pathname instead of INBOX.

Backtalk just stopped accepting my username and password. It keeps spitting

Is there any way to protect picospan against denial-of-service attacks,
such as mounted by twill and bdh3?
