I have noticed that now when you !finger anybody to see when they logged in
last, it says "never logged in" For any user that I've tried. I guess all
recent login information has been lost?

Re #274 and 275:
Out of curiosity I checked out a copy of Spinrite. It seems to do the
usual sector checking and attempted 'fixing', with five different levels of
intervention. But in addition, I've found a screen called "SMART settings"
that went something like this:
attribute event cnt margin
---------------------------------
ecc corrected: 0 149
rd chan margin: not reported
relocated sect: 0 60
realloc events: 0
seek errors: 0 49
spin-up retry: 0 49
recal retries: 0 49
cabling errors: 0
uncorrectable: 0
write errors: 0 149
temperature: 40'c /104'f
power-on time: 5,271
Not sure it means anything; a 'margin' of 149 sectors out of 63*255*thousands
seems rather tiny. But I think this is supposed to be the 'bypassing the drive
electronics' part of the program.
Spinrite also works on VMWare virtual machines. However, the SMART screen
does not appear; instead there's a message saying that SMART data is not being
reported.

/var/log/wrttmp seems OK to me. Is anyone else seeing problems
with anything? The modems are a seperate issue, I think.

I get this when I log on:
mesg: Unable to open /var/log/wrttmp to read/write
I guess the mesg program needs access to that directory.

I have changed my script to dial the second modem (0513) and no longer get
garbage. Could someone replace the first modem, assuming we have another
working one? Steve et al, thanks.

I'm sure we have spares. I forgot to reset the modei yesterday. That
might be a good thing to do.
So you've narrowed it down to the first modem. Good and thanks.

It looks like grex went of the 'net for about half an hour just after 6pm.

re #280 ... that disk was in pretty darn good shape based on those data.
i have seen errors found/fixed inthe 200,000 + range (ForReal!)(tm).
they were primarily ecc errors but other junk showed up in the 100,000+
range on other 'stuff'.

Does the bounce below from excite.com imply that one or more grex twits are

Are we supposed to have a ping command? It tells me 'not found'. I was
wondering why sdf.lonestar.org suddenly froze up and cannot be accessed now.

Re. #300: I tried the "finger" command circa 1:05 p.m. and got the
following results:
> finger @sdf.lonestar.org
[sdf.lonestar.org/192.94.73.1]
must provide username
> finger staff@sdf.lonestar.org
[sdf.lonestar.org/192.94.73.1]
finger: staff: no such user
Given that the attempt to "finger" didn't time-out, I assume that they
are at least partially "up".
If lonestar has an uptime report page similar to that of Grex, you might
find more information there.

They are online again now, but I was simply wondering why we have no ping.
