Re #s 209 and 210: it is important to pay attention. Yes, I tried changing
the password: same result. Besides, the original password had been working
fine, and then stopped working for SFTP.
Thank you, mcnally and slynne. While my immediate goal is to do the ftp, there
is apparently a problem with how "staff" works with the users of the system,
for which I put forward some suggestions.

I agree, mcnally can't do it all himself. Grex apparently has LOTs of
staffers, but nobody has "user support" as one of their areas of
responsibility.

Re #211: mcnally's suggestion wiggled a bad connection in my brain and the
bulb lit up. After consulting my copy of UNIX for DUMMIES.... I ftp'd the
mnac webpage file to my account, and then from the mnac web directory
copied it over. (This left a couple of secondary questions, such as why I
can't ftp directly to mnac, for which I am consulting further with Mike.)

re #215
Did the SFTP password change? Are you being hacked?

The SFTP and SSH passwords are the same, and the latter works. Also see
mcnally's #185 for related tests. Other avenues are being pursued...

I'm sorry, as much as I love Grex, if the amount of racist, bigoted,
and repetitive posts continues to increase, I may have to leave Grex
permanently. I'm sorry.

It is an unfortunate side effect of that kind of vandalism though.

Its a blip on a radar not worth mentioning unless you want to feed the troll.

On another matter, concerning what might be a problem - or a policy.
I put a small .jpg file of the MNAC logo in the mnac web page here, but
the link to it from the webpage remains broken. Does the system
automatically refuse access to jpegs in the www directory? If so, is this
still necessary, with the increased filespace now available?

Grex doesn't allow graphics, but you can get around that by making it a
SVG and embedding it into the HTML. :-)

people (from three continents).
Rane, post the jpeg at some other site and link to it from the grex page.

Use arbornet.org for your webpage.

Does Arbornet allow you to use graphics? I use sdf because they give me
a neato multics.org domain. 8-)

Re #229: already did that.
How about HVCN for hosting websites? Their conferences seem to have died in
1999, but apparently they still host nonprofit websites. I considered going
there for MNAC, but wasn't anxious to change the URL.

A friend is reporting that my mail is bouncing because the ?SMPT server is
refusing connections? Anyone know about that?

In the strictest sense it's not *refusing* connections but it doesn't
seem to be working properly, either.. I've telnetted to the smtp port
and can't get as far as HELO, so I'm going to try resetting the exim
process..
mcnally@skookum:~$ telnet grex.org smtp
Trying 216.86.77.194...
Connected to grex.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
HELO
554 SMTP synchronization error
Connection closed by foreign host.

I try to telnet www.grex.org: Unknown host. I can use web interface
and I can telnet to sdf.lonestar.org (Can't try ssh at the moment
because it won't work on this computer with this linux, anywhere).
