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
responsible for getting grex blacklisted re: mail delivery to excite.com?

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.

Ping was disabled/removed for all but staff because it can be (and has been)
used for denial-of-service attacks.

I dialed 4840513 and got a busy number but 4840512 was free. Isn't it
supposed to hunt through the 'queue' of both numbers?

Isn't 484-0512 the 1st number and -0513 the 2nd number in the queue?
My experience is that phone number queues don't "wrap around"...this
works fine as long as people don't dial numbers further up the queue
...but features like "call back" break this assumption.

I have been dialing the second number because the first modem seemed to be
bad. Has someone replaced it?

Re resp:308: That's the way it works on our phone system at work. A
number "lower" in the hunt group will work its way up to "higher"
numbers, but if it reaches the top it doesn't try from the bottom again;
you just get a busy signal.

The login screen has said for weeks that newuser is temporarily
disabled, and that the staff is still working on restoring some
accounts. How many accounts are still being restored? How long until
newuser will be turned back on?
Thanks!

That we know of there is only one staff member left on Grex who has the
skills to work through this issue. That's STeve. STeve knows about the
problem. I have to assume his life is very busy or he'd be working on it.
There is no estimate on when this will be fixed.

The following is not to put pressure on STeve. But despite my own level of
"eh" re: newuser being shut off, it's not very tenable that grex, with its
stated mission, a) should be running for an extended period of time with
newuser down, and b) should have only *ONE* staffer able to address the
situation.

If it dissolved itself, would that really be a "solution"? ;-)

It's a lot easier to be provocative than to find reasonable solutions.
