Netscape doesn't give you error messages when it finds it
can't write to the file?
rcurl
response 63 of 222: Mark Unseen   May 11 17:29 UTC 2000

Nope. It is "user friendly". (Why should Netscape care?)

response 64 of 222: Mark Unseen   May 12 00:42 UTC 2000

It depends on what the user wants, and Netscape can't read minds.
If the user *wants* to save cookies but the file had gotten
locked inadvertently, the it would be more user-friendly to give
an error message.

From time to time I run vi on my cookie file and delete all the trash.

Grex wasn't serving web pages of any kind for a while today.  Scott rebooted
the system after 52 days of uptime (just because he thought it might change
the air a bit), and uncovered the fact that the last time I upgraded Apache
I forgot to do one step needed to make the new apache get run after a reboot.

Oops.

Apache is still running out of processes occasionally.  I don't understand
why.  If someone notices this happening (sudden requests to re-login, sudden
system error pages appearing instead of backtalk pages) if you quickly log
in and do 'ps -auxwww | mail janc' then it might give me some data I can
make sense of.

Well, you have a point John, though locking a file "inadvertently"
on a Mac isn't easy. If it is easy on a PC, then maybe the PC version
does give a warning?

Not easy?  Don't you just have to get "file info" and click on the lock box?

He said "inadvertently" . . .

I inadvertently click on the wrong thing sometimes.  Especially since I
usually use keystroke shortcuts, which are *much* faster & don't require
taking my hands off the keyboard.
rcurl
response 71 of 222: Mark Unseen   May 12 16:21 UTC 2000

There is no keystroke to lock a file on a Mac. You have to open Get Info,
move your cursor to the lock box, and click on it. Nearly impossible to
do inadvertently. You have to *want* to lock the file (...cheeeeez....).

Even though <CMD>I is the keyboard shortcut for Get Info, there is still
the problem of selecting the file and mouse-clicking the Lock box.  Nope,
not easy to do inadvertently.

In DOS/Windows, set the Read Only attribute.  In WinNT (and 95/98/2K?) 
use Find to find the files named "cookie", right-click on them, select
Properties, and click the read-only box.  Works just fine.

Seems like it's difficult to accidentally lock a file on the PC too.

        disk full?

response 76 of 222: Mark Unseen   May 18 22:19 UTC 2000

The /tmp partition was full, causing certain program to not function.
Fixed now.

Last night & a couple times tonight, i dialed in to 761-3000 and got 
"NO CARRIER" a few seconds after the modem stopped publicly dickering
over protocols.  Dialing in to -5041 got me in okay both times.

        I often have the problem in #78.

response 80 of 222: Mark Unseen   May 26 01:27 UTC 2000

Same at #78, but 3 fails on -3000, then in on -3554, all in the past few
minutes.

I've had a problem with the conferences lately. I have to keep looking at the
same responses to some conferences 3 or 4 times. That's not bad when it's one
of the smaller conferences, but very annoying on agora.

I have been having a consistent problem with being dumped off of Grex (telnet
connection) recently.  Especially annoying for the reasons stated in the
previous response.  My configurations have not changed, so I'm assuming this
is a Grex issue.  Other folks seem to have been reporting this quite a bit
lately.  Any ideas, Staff?

Hi Pete.  Wasabi?

Newuser doesn't list all of the available shells.
I know that at least zsh is not listed, and it seemed like perhaps more were
also not listed (not as many as /etc/shells).

And chsh won't let you update the passwd database to zsh if you answer "no"
to when it prompts for either the creation of a .login (should be .zlogin,
I believe) or a .cshrc (again, pretty sure it should be .zshrc; .zlogin,
.zshenv, and .zshrc are the associated files, and though zsh is some sort of
derivation of bourne and c shells, I believe it only checks for the .z*'s).

I couldn't dial in today.  Both 3000 and 3411 would answer the phone, but not
give me a welcome.  Left it running for 1.5 minutes, still now cheery
greeting.
