Is anyone else unable to telnet or ssh to grex today? (I cannot reach
sdf either).

I reached grex eventually but cannot FTP upload to grex and the telnet lag is
awful.
top does not reveal any problems.

The system seems REALLY slow, but I don't know what's causing it. Could it
be someone consuimg a lot of resources?

I cannot do an ftp download. All I see is S. A few days ago I could not do
an ftp upload. I am a member with ftp privileges.

Yes, a vandal wass running a fork-bomb. 'Twas killed at or about 08:56.
(Which the observant will note is the time Sindi reported her dial-in attempt
failing. Correlation is not causation, but . . . ;)

Sindi also emailed staff shortly after the dial-in failed and the telnet
succeeded but was 89 load average. Should I bother reporting vandals or does
staff notice them anyway? I tried again to dial in just now and got
Welcome to grex. It may take a few seconds to connect...... And after a
minute or so I gave up. ssh connected instantly.

You need more patience. The modems are still on the far side of the DSL.

This response is made by sshing from my machine to oldGrex and then from
oldGrex to Grex. So it passes over the old, flakey DSL twice. It is, as
should be expected, quite slow. A good way to learn patience. :)

As if we have not had enough practice with patience in the past couple of
months! Telnet is not bad now.

Are there plans to move the dialin lines to the colo site, or will they
be dropped when the lease expires on the Pumpkin?

I'll be faxing the information to transfer the lines to the telephone company
later today. I am sorry that this has taken so long. :(

From one who is "spoiled" by SiteScope in the workplace: Is there enough
spare grex hardware lying around to construct a "monitor" box whose sole
purpose would be to monitor grex and when it detects something irregular (such
as no response within a reasonable period) to notify whomever it would be
willing to be so notified?

My arrow keys still do not work in fronttalk with my 84-key keyboard (or
probably with the 101-key keyboard either). Yes it said Fronttalk (it
scrolled by too quickly to read anything else) when I typed ft and I do not
have a scroll buffer in linux except in vga and I am using mda.

I see robocop is running now. Or was running. Things just speeded up.

When scribbling a recent response that wasn't very interesting:
Respond, pass, forget, quit? scribble 23
Segmentation fault
grex%
I've got "limit coredumpsize 0" set in my .tcshrc, so no core file
(not that anyone would have time to track it down..) Is there a
problem with the perms on the censored log, perhaps?

Grex ssh worked last night but this morning: remote host failed or
refused to allocate a pseudo tty. (A bunch more lines and then a
blinking cursor).

file. Things seem to be working okay anyway.

Lynx is working, ridiculously fast! I keep overshooting. But ftp (for
members) is not working with lynx.
