Let's hope folks don't turn Grex into an ftp warez site since it has a
bandwidth quota.

Telnet will not access grex right now - I tried two different programs. One
told me it is not receiving the expected responses. ssh worked instantly.

Pine is not working again - the cursor just blinks. Mail works.
Pine worked this morning when telnet worked. I recall it not working a week
or so ago. I did not test mutt.

re #507: correction -- Pine *does* work, but when I launched it earlier
today it took an inordinately long time to load (from 3-5 minutes..)

Since I advised him to enter it in the "System Problems" item in Agora
without giving sufficient info on how to do that, I'm reposting a response
entered by user cobalt in another Agora item:

The problem with google is probably related to the web proxy, which is still
on the DSL link.

Logging in (via ssh), I saw:
mesg: Unable to find your tty (ttyp1) in utmp file
There is a mesg command in my .profile, but I don't understand this error.
I think I've seen it once or twice since the change to new Grex, but not
consistently. (But I might be wrong about either part of that.)

mesg has to find our entries in utmp in order to properly update wrttmp. Jan
discovered that OpenBSD apparenlty writes data to utmp later than it probably
should, so he added a delay and retry to mesg. Either the delay is not
sufficiently long, or something else is going wrong.

Others have said it already, but thanks for the move, Joe. Backtalk's
running faster than I've ever seen it.

I have not received any mail from the outside world since some time yesterday.
I can send myself mail from grex. Pine works. A message sent to staff from
my non-grex address bounced back at 4:37 am this morning after trying for four
hours.
Has anyone else received outside mail today?

I have confirmed Sindi's problem with mail by doing my own test.
About an hour ago I sent a message to Grex from kpunet.net.
Checking the outgoing mail queue on the kpunet server I can see
that my mailer's connection to grex has been timed out and the
message is deferred:
DNS from the remote host:
> # nslookup

tcptraceroute to Grex on port 25 (the SMTP port) ends at
ypsi-sfld.provide.net (216.86.64.2)
tcptraceroute to Grex on port 80 shows that ypsi-sfld.provide.net is the
last hop before Grex. Looks like Grex's firewall is blocking port 25.

The following happened when telnetting and trying to connect as usual via
cyberspace.org The problem did not happen when immediately afterward I
connected via grex.org :

I just verified that the problem is repeatable - it wasn't a one-time glitch.

re #525:
I haven't had any problems with my Agora participation file.
That proves nothing, of course, but it does suggest that people
who are having problems should probably at the very least add
the name of the program they're using to read Agora to help
staff debug.
I'm using "bbs" (whatever that's a front-end to these days) but
others may be using backtalk, fronttalk, or possibly other programs
to munge their conference participation files.
