I'm using freebsd also. I turn off the autologin with the -K option.

I think the satayhard spam came via Poland or Korea, not Indonesia.
The Koreans bounced my mail informing them of the open relay. I have heard
they don't care.

(little random typos in spam is usually on purpose, to get around spam
filtering. You're filtering "stayhard", but "satayhard" gets past the filter)

"Satayhard"? Erotic Indian cuisine?

Bug or feature?
I have been unable to suspend emacs via the "C-z" routine
when emacs is accessed from the menu as "!emacs".
Attempts to use the "C-z" routine result in nonresponse to
the "fg" or "%emacs" routines and have required exercising
the terminal hangup option.
Is there a means of suspending emacs when emacs is
accessed from the menu as "!emacs"?

Help! I was trying to clean out my ~tpryan/mbox and when
I exited, I was left with a lot less then I intended. I have a
lot, including Job Search infor in there. Is there a way for
it to be restored from the last save?
Why did this happen?
I keep on getting punished for trying to clean it out.
Previous times, I would spend time and before being able to
save it, I get booted from the system.

A few minutes ago I was terminated after hitting Enter after reading an item,
and getting an error message including the number 12, out of memory and the
word forking. Was this a fork bomb?

No, it was not a fork bomb. The error was: Error 12 out of memory trying
to fork. Forking is a program trying to spawn another process as a normal
function of the program. When several such things happen at once you can have
a momentary halt because there isn't enough ram to handle all of them.

Why did it do that yesterday when I pressed the enter key but this hads never
happened before or since - was something else using up the memory?

Everyone else that was logged on and all the accounting/auditing programs.
I got the same message around the same time as you did. I went upstairs to
wake STeve up and by the time I came back downstairs everything was ok, so
I told him to go back to sleep.

Actually, it could have been a fork bomb or something similar.
Something was running Grex out of resources so that it couldn't do
ordinary forks. Grex's defenses against fork bombs will generally
terminate them pretty quickly, but there may be a brief period in which
you'll see problems like this before the system sets itself right
again. Grex has two layers of fork bomb defenses - the kernel blocks
will kill the more aggressive fork bombs pretty quickly - probably
within ten seconds. Robocop responds more slowly, possibly taking as
long as 8 minutes, but kills more categories of annoying programs,
including memory bombs.

Do we know why the network goes away every now and again? traceroutes tend
to end at rback0.flnt.mi.voyager.net.

Any news on when I can get my ~tpryan/mbox restored to the
last back-up, 1/27/2002?
