Pine was trying to write to a file in his home directory. That attempt
triggered the quota notification.

When dialing direct:
Pine exits with "Cannot open terminal capabilities database".
TERM is set to "dialup". Changing it to "vt100" does *NOT* fix the
problem.
When trying to enter a response in BBS, spacebar enters a new line, and
typing any other character results in a "Core dumped" followed by "OK to enter
this response?".
When connected via the internet:
TERM is set to "vt100".
Pine and BBS work normally.

Scratch that, TERM is now set to "xterm", logged in from home in Putty under
Windoze 98SE in VMWare. It was "vt100" in ssh on the Zaurus.

Try editting your .login to remove the '"$TERM"' from the end of the tset
command.

What is the user quota on /tmp ? Can it be raised? I'm being thwarted in
sending e-mail with long text (a few 100K characters).

The quota on /tmp is 200 KB. The limit is 1100 KB.

BTW, the command to see _your_ quota is "quota". Personally, I prefer the
"-v" option:
quota -v

heh, how can a file system be 104% full? ;)
Anyway, what bru said, /var is full.

It appears to be email spools that are filling up /var.

Thanks to everyone who got the new machine up and running! Very nice.
What became of /usr/local/lib/global.cshrc? Upon logging in, I see a
message that there is no such file, and my usual shell prompt and some
other things don't work. What should I be using instead?

As a side note, drew, if you're using Windoze under VMWare so you can get at
PuTTY whilst using Linux/UNIX, PuTTY is now available for Linux, whilst the
BSDs have compatibility packages for Linux software.

The global dot files are in /usr/local/etc/ . However, you may need to add
your own prompt. I added
set prompt="`hostname -s`% "
to my .cshrc file.

Not sure if someone posted this already, but I got this when in elm
and using vi as my mail editor:
Error: /var/tmp/vi.recover: No space left on device.
Modifications not recoverable if the session fails.
Looks like it's all related.

I am still not getting any 'new mail' messages when I log in, though I have
new mail. Could someone please fix this, and also do something so users will
be notified they are over quota when they log in, rather than when they use
pine. Thanks.

I haven't received any new mail at all today - I suspect the fact that /var
is full is preventing mail from being delivered.

I am now getting new mail messages. But I think I figured out why I have to
put all my friends on the white list. Any mail not caught by one of my
filters or the white list is going to /dev/null. At the end of .procmailrc
I have the lines :0: and $MAIL - should I change these to send whatever is
not caught by a filter to my mail instead of to /dev/null? The reason spams
are getting through is they match something in the white list (for instance
'Michelle' got caught by the whitelist for 'mich' (as in umich.edu).
I turned verbose on to determine this.
Could I add between my last two lines a blank Subject line? (I forget the
exact format, just put in what usually goes in a Subject filter but end in
*, or . ).

I have fixed my filter by putting a \ in front of the pipe sign in
v[pipesign]agra. For some reason I was getting a whole lot of spam caught
by that one filter. Anyone able to explain what caused the problem which I
just fixed? I narrowed it down by putting myself on the white list in the
middle of my filter , then before the Subject lines (it worked), then in the
middle of hte Subject filters (it worked) then near the end (it did not work,
I was after the viagra portion). I just apologized to at least five people
who sent me new year's greetings and now I can tell them it should not happen
again!
