Is that not a lot of CPU time to be used by one user? Until recently that
process was using about 97% of cpu time. Could you take a look at what is
going on? User smart lists as name 'asd' which is one of many things on my
twit filter so this is likely to be some sort of 'joke'.

Yes /usr/ucb is a "Sun-ism". That stands for "University of California
at Berkeley", i.e. BSD's original "home". SunOS _is_ SysV, has been
since I started using it in 1988. You'll find SysV commands
in /usr/bin and BSD commands in /usr/ucb. You'l find the SysV
conventional directory setup including /dev/tty??? (which is not in
BSD). Here's a script (everytty - which lists all the ports in use by a
particular user) which I have run on the old Sun box - it's pure SysV
(will even work on Linux which follows SysV conventions). It won't run
under any BSD derivative. It's called by "everytty username".
#!/bin/sh
for a in `find /dev/tty[a-s]? -user $1 -print`
do
a=`basename $a`
echo "
$a:"
ps -xt$a
done
Sun did the /usr/ucb thing to add BSD-isms to its OS and allow users to
choose which "flavor" they wanted to see by changing the order of their
PATH, either putting /usr/bin or /usr/ucb first in their PATH. Hope
that clears things up.

SunOS is a Sun Microsystems implementation of the Unix operating system.
Solaris is SunOS packaged with a number of additional tools, and a graphical
user interface (GUI) environment. Since Sun Microsystems did not offer the
Solaris product until SunOS 4, SunOS and Solaris have different version
conventions (e.g., Solaris 1 includes SunOS 4, while Solaris 2 includes SunOS
5). To further confuse the naming scheme, Sun now refers to Solaris by just
its point release (e.g., Solaris 7, 8, or 9 instead of 2.7, 2.8, or 2.9).
When Bill Joy, one of the main programmers of the Berkeley Software
Distribution (BSD), helped found Sun in 1982, he brought with him the elements
for the first release of SunOS. Up through version 4.1.x (Solaris 1.x), SunOS
remained a heavily BSD-influenced Unix implementation. However, in the late
'80s, Sun entered into a partnership with AT&T, which was then developing the
other major Unix flavor, System V. The result was System V release 4 (SVR4),
which incorporated BSD as well as SunOS extensions (e.g., NFS). Subsequently,
with its version 5.x (Solaris 2.x) releases, SunOS shifted from its BSD
origins to SVR4.

How do I turn on mail size limits in Pine? All I could find in Setup was
sorting by size. I just got a 176K 'file.zip' attachment purportedly from
China. In the old grex the per-mail limit was 100K and anything larger would
bounce then people would write to complain and be instructed to send me plain
text, or just one small jpeg not a 3MB one.
Thanks to whoever got the load averages back from 3 to 1. Speedy!

You don't. By the time Pine (or any other mail reader) gets to see
how large a message is it's too late; the message has already been
delivered to your mailbox and then read by your e-mail program.
If you want to reject all mail above a certain size you can easily
do that with procmail before it gets delivered to your inbox.
A recipe like "* > 100000" will match messages over 100,000 bytes.
Once you match them you can decide what you want done with them.

You mean something like:
* > 100000
/dev/null
(I am not sure if the :0: on my first line got into this response).
Why is grex no longer placing a limit on mail size? Someone else complained
recently about having to empty spams from his mailbox several times a day or
it would fill up with junk like this. Or maybe it is a virus.
I only know how to filter on headers (:0:) or message body (:0B:).
If grex is going to allow these large mails to get through now, could someone
possibly write up a script to simplify rejecting them with procmail, which
is not for beginners?

For some reason, the script in #274 didn't work for me until I added a
line:
#!/bin/sh
for a in `find /dev/tty[a-s]? -user $1 -print`
do
b=`basename $a`
echo "
$b:"
a=${b:3}
ps -xt$a
done
(Apprently, in ps -t, the 'tty' is implied, so including it in the
variable results in the shell attempting to parse 'ps ttytty[a-s]?'
rather than 'ps tty[a-s]?')

I cannot telnet to grex. I type my login and then nothing happens, or
sometimes I can get as far as typing my password. I had to use backtalk
(vanilla, lynx) to post this.

The telnet problem just fixed itself (or someone fixed it).

I just dialed in direct 45 minutes later.
How do I change Pine's behavior back to letting me decide whether to forward
a message as an attachment? I usually say 'no' so that I can remove most of
the message by leaving it as message body (such as all the email addresses
in it). I searched on 'forward' in Setup with no luck. Could this be put
back to default behavior, along with 100K mail limit?

Sooner or later, we'll get the configuration of exim right. When we do, a
limit on size will probably be included. Asking for it repeatedly will not
make it happen any sooner.

Okay, I will try to clean out my mailbox more often until it happens. Do we
still have a 1MB mailbox limit? 176K spams or viruses fill that fast.

I cannot access 7 or 8 ftp sites in a row including ftp.slackware.com.
I am a paid member which means I should have ftp access and these sites are
accessible from another shell account elsewhere. Do I need to change
something in lynx.cfg or somewhere?

resp:291 Thanks for installing _some_ of the GNU stuff. If we don't
have mc (Midnight Commander) how about installing git (GNU Interactive
Tools) as a file manager. Of course mc from "ports" would be better,
hint :-)

I can now do a Kermit telnet to another shell account but kermit file transfer
between them does not seem to work. I had to exit the telnet connection and
do ftp instead. I think it used to let me kermit telnet and then file
transfer between these accounts. (I had gone off to another account to get
a file at an ftp site because lynx won't work now to get files from ftp
sites).
