I think I fixed the terminal server to connect to the new machine last night,
so dial-in should be working again.
I also think I fixed the web proxy to accept requests from the new machine.
No, you aren't seeing double. I repeated the report here hoping to keep any
counter-examples to this, the "Systems Problems" item, and out of the
"Systems Announcements" item.

After a several-day-long mail drought I've received several messages
(Spam, of course..) Was it the reboot or was something else changed
network-wise?

I don't know; I had to start mail by hand after the reboot because it's not
starting automatically.

a) cyberspace.org still doesn't come here - only grex.org
b) insult to injury - my grex mailbox got filled up, but every time I try to
run mail to delete stuff, grex tells me /tmp quota exceeded, so I'm hosed.
I sent an e-mail to staff for ideas. Anyone else have any?

re #536: depending on how much space you need, and whether you can
find another world-writable temporary directory, possibly you could
bypass the /tmp quota problem by setting the TMPDIR environment
variable to something else. I haven't checked how the filesystem
is laid out on Grex to see whether this would work..

Re 536: Can you tell which name server(s) you are using? All that I can check
have the right address for cyberspace.org.

It looks like the changes to the terminal server didn't 'take.' I'll
power-cycle it the next time I'm in the Pumpkin, which will probably be
tomorrow morning.

I can now forward mail without having to make it into an attachment - thanks
to whoever fixed this. I exceeded my /tmp quota one time by trying to save
a large file to it. If you tried to use /tmp recently how can you figure out
which files in there you still own so as to delete them? I. e., list all
files that you own in /tmp. Surely there is some command for this. How
often is /tmp automatically emptied?

The command you want, Sindi, is
find /tmp -user keesan -ls
It looks like I'll also have to kill and restart the web proxy.

Why is links working if lynx is not?

"links - g - www.google.com - works instantly" Yes, but when you attempt to
access the sign in link it fails with error "no route to host"
"lynx google - tries to access the IP number and nothing happens" --the
system seems to be attempting to access Grex's OLD ip address.
Perhaps this is a DNS proxy issue with a stale cache?
Thanks for attention to this matter.

Re #545, I copied a small file to /tmp, ls -l showed I had read-write-execute
permissions but others had just read-execute permissions, and then
find /tmp -user keesan -ls listed a bunch of files for all but one of which
I was denied permission so I deleted the one that I had permission for (which
I had copied). This is the answer to how to empty your overflowing mailbox.

No, it's not trying to reach grex's old IP address. The old address was
216.93.104.34; the address lynx is trying to reach is 216.93.104.35, which
is the web proxy.
The web proxy is still on the DSL link. I don't know if the problem you are
seeing is caused by the DSL link being flakey or by the web proxy not being
configured for the new subnet. I added the new subnet to the web proxy's
configuration last night, but the "kill -HUP" may not have been enough to
cause the proxy to reread its configuration file.

I don't see how the find command is "the answer to how to empty your
overflowing mailbox." It's just the way to find the files in /tmp that you
own. The error message
find: /tmp/lynx-mLGAA21624: Permission denied
means that we don't have sufficient access to the directory
/tmp/lynx-mLGAA21624 to see the files within it.
