Might I have messed up .cfonce when I was removing all the redundant copies
of a twit filter?  Anyone want to look at it for me, please?

HAHA!  I can talk to you keesan!

Re #146:  Yes, you need to fix your .cfonce, where you apparently got some
inappropriate line-wrapping when you edited it.  The following two lines
should be just one:

  # responses entered by users: jp2 polytarp realpoly gizmo sarkhel loperbd
  mart

The fact that "mart" is by itself on a line explains the message about it.
The following two lines should also be one:

  define pager "twit jp2 polytarp realpoly gizmo sarkhel loperbd mart | less
  -dE -P 'Press Spacebar for more, or q to quit'

(The first of those pairs is just a comment, but for the second you need (in
joining them) a blank between "less" and "-dE".)

Thanks, this explains the 'I don't understand mart'.  It still does not
explain why my twit filter is not eliminating tels from people on the twit
list.

I tried to edit .cfonce with pico.  I put things on one line but pico wraps
them onto two.  Can I disable line wrap with pico?  Do I need to learn vi to
fix .cfonce?  I could put a # in front of mart but that does not fix the
problem o f the line starting with -dE.

I'm not a pico user, so I don't know if linewrap can be disabled.

Re #150:  Twit lists in .cfonce control only what Picospan shows you.
They have nothing to do with tels.  For that, you need to enable
a .nowrite file.  See !man write.

To disable word-wrap in pico, use "pico -w -t".  Well, probably you just
need the w, but I use both and it works.

-t is nice because it puts pico in 'tool' mode which is better for novice
users.

The change program which modified .cfonce (but said it was modifying .login)
also said it was changing write permissions for tel talk etc.  Someone might
want to modify the change program.  I will check out pico -w -t.

My .cfonce has been fixed with pico -w -t.  What did the -t do?  I was able
to remove the CR/LF or whatever it was that was breaking up one line into two.

I wonder if a quotation mark is also missing from that last line.
keesan
response 158 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 4 03:34 UTC 2003

If so where should I restore it to?  Everything seems to work anyway.
gelinas
response 159 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 4 03:41 UTC 2003

Probably at the very end of the line, as in the lines just before it.

In general, quotation marks come in pairs.

Re #159:  Picospan is forgiving about a missing close-quote at the end
of a line.
keesan
response 162 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 4 17:26 UTC 2003

I will refrain from fixing what works even if it is not perfect.  I am afraid
of causing more problems by adding back the quotation mark.

I believe -t makes pico exit and save when you hit ^X, whereas without it
you get those two annoying prompts asking if you *really* want to save and
if you *really* want to exit.

That's right.  Except s/annoying/outrageously annoying & confusing/

When connecting with ssh, the screen clears itself after motd, doesn't
display the Last login or mail status, and starts the cleared screen
with the Erase info.

This response has been erased.

It still happens when I use PuTTY.
gull
response 168 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 7 16:36 UTC 2003

That happens to me with TeraTerm, regardless of how I connect.  I think
Grex sends a terminal reset command right before doing the Erase stuff.

I have .hushlogin set anyway, because I prefer to diff the motd so I
only have to read the changes, not the whole thing every time.
krokus
response 169 of 251: Mark Unseen   Feb 8 15:12 UTC 2003

I'm using putty for my ssh sessions, and NetTerm for telnet sessions.
I have no prolbems when using NetTerm.  I guess I'll have to see how
I can get Grex to stop sending a reset, if that's what it's doing.

The whole systems seems to be having issues, or is at least losing
most/all connections.
