I swapped out the (probably) bad modem on 484-0512. Let us know, here, how the (relatively) new one works.

How do I create a new accout with "newuser" when I ssh into Grex? I've tried to do this a couple times in the past month, and all I get is newuser@grex.org's password: When I type "newuser" as the password I get Access denied and it asks for the password again. Can people only create new accounts from the web?

Can create new accounts through telnet.

You need to use telnet or the web to create an account.

That's a bummer. I imagine that a lot of potential newusers don't know that (or don't know how to implement that). There should at least be a message to that effect before the first prompt.

There is no welcome message for ssh.

Telnet doesn't work either. I tried telnetting to grex.org and to cyberspace.org. I got the same screen as I got when using ssh More ideas?

Use the web.

Sounds like "telnet" is just an alias for "ssh" on your machine, cmcgee. In the Unix world, I'd "which telnet" and "where telnet" to find a telnet client that isn't ssh.

Neither modem was correctly answering this morning - I stopped waiting for them to time out.

gelinas, I'm on a Windows XP OS, using the "run" command to get to a DOS command line interface. Then I type "telnet". Maybe SP2 or some other upgrade turned it into an ssh alias?

Both modems just keep ringing. I could ssh here.

Modems still not answering.

I got through on 513 but 512 does not answer.

The thing about Clinton should surely say FORMER president.
| response 212 of 281: |
Aug 19 04:57 UTC 2005 |
I agree - that really looks bad. Or maybe grexers are in denial?

I thought former presidents were still addressed as "Mr. President"?
| response 214 of 281: |
Aug 19 12:11 UTC 2005 |
No, you would address Mr. Clinton as Mr. Clinton.
