Outbound telnet and ftp don't seem to do anything either.  (Maybe
they also have the 3-minute delay; I'm not that patient.)

It looks like there was a network problem.  I don't have any more
information than: I couldn't get to grex and traceroute was failing at
Voyager, our ISP.

Turns out the DSL modem needed a power cycle.  The internet user Russ saw,
possibly the terminal server?

Maybe we should get the DSL modem onto the UPS.

We took a power hit, long enough to power down the computers.  We aren't too
far away from the pumpkin.  The problems started at that time.  Grex went
down, then up, then down.  Looked sort of like the power went down with the
UPS taking over, then the power coming back up.

Well, 'grex' didn't go down; it's been up three days, four hours and
thirty-nine minutes so far.

But I can believe _something_ went down due to power.

     Well, just glad Grex is back.  Was worried there for a bit.

I'm sure this is indicative of a problem (two users, one pty?):

response 153 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 12 16:39 UTC 2003

I don't seem to be receiving mail.  I know of at least two messages that have
been sent to me in the last day, but mailx still returns "No mail for dcat",
and mutt and pine complain about a non-existant mailspool file (which would
be normal if I didn't have mail in it, but I do).

I've gotten the no mailspool file errors from PINE & Mutt before, but they
went away when I got new mail; this doesn't seem to be happening this time.

And no, I don't have a .forward file.

Hmm...

Looks like you have something now.

Re #153: Are you using ssh or telnet?  SSH doesn't always set the MAIL
variable right, leaving mailx and Pine unable to find your spool file. 
If you have mail when you telnet in, but not when you ssh, add a line to
your .profile to set MAIL to whatever it's set to when you telnet in. 
That's what I had to do.  This problem really puzzled me for a while, too.

Thank you Gull, that does seem to have done it.  Now I just have to figure
out what file to put that in to have it read in time for the 'You have new
mail' message at logon.  .zshenv (the normal place for it such things in zsh,
IIRC) doesn't seem to be early enough.

For CSH, the order of execution is .cshrc and then .login

response 158 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 13 13:49 UTC 2003

I SSH in and have had no problem with the MAIL variable getting set.  It might
be the shell failling to set it.  Still, good advice.
gull
response 159 of 237: Mark Unseen   Aug 13 18:48 UTC 2003

Could be.  I use bash as my shell, and I had the problem.

The net connection seems to be still down.

(actually, it appears to be a DNS problem; I'm currently on via telnet,
having used the IP address.)
