re #225: does color work in anything? what happens if you
use echo in the shell to echo the escape sequence to change
text color? any effect? your pager program might be eating
the color sequences if it works in the shell but not in bbs.

Thanks. That did it. Now I get the message
mesg: Unable to find your tty (ttyq5) in utmp file
Is that good or bad or indifferent?

It means that the settings allowing (or disallowing) tels won't be available.
We may need to recompile mesg.

Is this related to the problem of talk not working? Tels work for me.

I don't know; I've not tried talk.

No, the problem is that talk is not suid. I don't have time to work on
this right now.

I get the same error message trying to talk to people whether or not they are
logged in - try a talk keesan (I am logged in) or a talk jdeigert. Something
about sockets. Presumably a file in the wrong place or some limit set wrong.

235 slipped in. Does 'not suid' mean permissions for talk need to be
changed? I will tell people to email me until talk works again.

Sort of. The program permissions determine who can run it, but what
needs changing is what permissions the program can use to run the other
processes it needs (like those that allow non-members to use talk to
connect to a non-Grex-local machine).

I'm not sure if colors will be at all useful in bbs; but most uses them. w3m
does, too, but I don't know if we have that installed. I'll check that, and
setting the terminal to ansi, now.

You can see them in ~aruba/.cfonce if you'd like. My twitfilter also
highlights responses from cetain people by putting them in a different
color.

Re #247: I confess I often fall behind. But yes, I have a command to
define a command to print out the letter.match# file of the person who is
"it" in each of the games.

I'd noticed that Pine creates debug files on another system I use, so I asked
the sysadmins about it. They hadn't done anything special. They also
reported that it behaved similarly on another of their systems. So the
creation of these files appears to be a decision by the Pine developers.
I added an alias for pine to my list of aliases some time back, because I
want to go directly to the index of messages, not the "main" screen. I've
now modified that alias to turn off the debug files:
alias pine 'pine -d 0 -i'

Pine and BBS response still do not work when dialed in direct;
and sz is still missing.
