A third friend just stopped by to find us because he cannot access his grex
mail. The other two call every few days to ask about the modems.

Pine is displaying html tags instead of ignoring them. I think this has
something to do with a system-wide configuration file because gelinas got it
working right last time. People ought to keep records of what they do so
it can be done again each upgrade. And save configuration files.

There's a system in place (CVS server) for doing that. A lot of it was
done, but unfortunately not everything. Hopefully we'll do better in
the future.

The main pine configuration file was correctly saved from the previous
system and correctly reinstalled by grexdoc. At first glance, it does
not look like there was a procedural problem so possible the default
compile options for pine have changed between 3.5 and 3.8 or something
else in the environment upon which pine depends to correctly parse
the html has changed.
Still looking into it.

I think I found the problem:
url-viewer=/usr/bin/links
/usr/local/bin/links
I think it should read just:
url-viewer=/usr/local/bin/links
This is in the pine configuration file. Did links change locations during
the upgrade? It is now in /usr/local/bin

The pine INBOX is again being incompletely displayed. In particular, in the
list of messages today, numbers 4 to 9 did not display, although they could
be read.

Links used to be a symlink to /suidbin/inet_wrap and is now its own
binary. It may have been overlooked in the grexdoc script responsible
for setting up /suidbin or may be deliberate. Not sure yet.
I'm actually having difficulty replicating your problem with html
mails, even after copying over your .pinerc. The mails are rendered
correctly, not as raw html. I'm wondering what else I'm missing
as I'd prefer to see the problem before changing the systemwide
config file.

I still can't get my C++ files to link - libstdc++.a, which seems to be
required to get anywhere, includes references to various routines whose
names begin with _Unwind . I gather these are exception handling routines.
What library are they in? A google search doesn't tell me anything.

some of these connections seem, ummmm, overdue for disconnect? or perhaps
just huge files slowly moving?

I've modified /etc/ttys to, I hope, enable the modems again. We may need to
reboot; the man page doesn't say.

Thanks, I will try them again soon. Bill is looking forward to getting online
again so he can finish figuring out how to set up the faster modems for grex.

I was assuming he'd done that, but it won't hurt for me to do it again
in case he didn't.. (As long as I remember the "-HUP" part, anyway.. :-)

Re #147: I believe that another motivation for running idled was to
prevent people from using interactive tty's to run things that are
essentially non-interactive (bots & such) - idled would log the person
off, then robocop would kill any processes the person had left running.
I'm not sure how effective that is, since idled isn't too hard to fool.
