Interesting.  I'd tried scp but got error messages and didn't see
how to relate them to corrective action, so I gave up.  Tried just
now and it actually works.  It's clunky but I think I can manage.
Thanks!

The /a partition was full, preventing users whose home directories are
located on it from responding in bbs, saving their mail, and doing anything
else requiring writing data to the disk.  I identified the major disk 
hogs and did some cleaning up, giving us a bit of breathing room.

I've had no trouble ftp-ing with the client Fetch over TCP/IP.

/a was full a few minutes ago.  It's now got a little space, hopefully
enough to let me enter this response without crashing something.

A friend with an email account at mymailbox.com reports that every mail he
gets from grex (but not my ISP), including my account and jdeigert, arrives
in 4-7 copies.  What might be causing this?  Other people don't tell me they
get multiple copies of mail from me.

He should look at the full headers of the copies, to compare the lines that
begin "Received:"  The ones at the bottom should be the same in every copy,
but then there will be some that have different time-stamps.  Those lines will
show where the transfer is failing.

Most likely, a machine passes it on, but then does not get the acknowledgement
of receipt, so it re-queues the message, to try again later.  The machine that
received, but did not acknowledge, the message delivers it.  Result: the
message is duplicated when delivery is attempted later.

No wonder sendmail uses so much CPU all the time.

Very oddly, when ssh'ing to Grex I only *sometimes* get the message
that Grex is lying about the size of its private key.  Is there any
mechanism I could use to confirm the key and rule out funny business?

I'm not sure what it is, but I had some problems with Backtalk... I 
had to put my password in several times at a few points to get in and 
through the bbs.

Yes, I'm getting the same problem.  I just gave up on Backtalk after
encountering it several times.  If I exited from all of my IE windows,
then started one up again and logged into Grex, I could read about 3 items
before getting it again.

I've noticed that happens a lot when Grex's CPU load is very high.  I
suspect something is timing out.

re 184:  i would suggest using kermit or x/y/z-modem across your tcp
connection, but that appears reserved for dial-up users (foolishly so
imo).

A response when Jamie begs the Grexers for some loving:

Would a kind Grexer with the rootkey please reset the password for jp2?  To
authenticate me, please call the number shown in !f jp2.

Thank you, <hug>

Try reading (or running, if you're telnetted in) /usr/local/bin/sz, & you'll
see.

Aww, Jamie hugs are the best. Jamie, try emailing staff with the request.

Traditionally none of those protocols have worked well over telnet
because telnet is not transparent, and often not 8-bit clean.  ssh is,
if you disable the escape character with "-e none".

What does it mean when only certain people who try to email me get
"permanent fatal error" messages?

response 211 of 237: Mark Unseen   Sep 12 19:41 UTC 2003

Are they getting error messages with bible quotes in them?
