That didn't happen to me, but I did log in, saw the motd etc, and then
it gave me another login prompt.

Re #66: I think that happens occasionally to people whose login
shell is tcsh, as yours is. My shell is tcsh also, and it happens
to me from time to time. Some bug in tcsh causes it to die under
certain circumstances just after logging in. I'm not sure anyone
knows why.
When this happens, a big-looking core file gets dumped into your
home directory. Then next time you log in successfully, you should
delete it.

Whowzer! 8.6 MB! Is there a sweep for core dumps? Login failures have
happened now and then, but I've never seen that core before (well, not
recently) - so does someone delete them routinely and I just haven't
looked at my directory at the right moment?

Yup, core dumps are routinely deleted by a system process.

The ls listing made it look like an 8.6mb file, but it was actually
significantly smaller -- a so-called "sparse file".

What are the IP addresses of those sites? When you do a traceroute, how far
does it get? If this was last night, while Grex was down, that was what I
was seeing too, but you shouldn't have been seeing that while Grex was up,
and Grex wasn't down for a day and a half.

Oops, nobody announced it:
Grex was down from maybe midnight[?] to 9:10am this morning.

uptime says:
11:27pm up 8 days, 13:18, 39 users, load average: 1.28, 1.43, 2.38
Was Grex up, but not accessible?

The console terminal crashed, which dropped Grex into ROM monitor. When that
happens, it's possible to tell Grex to resume where it left off, rather than
rebooting it.

So uptime is not a reliable source of information on how long Grex has
been up?

It generally is. We should look into using a more reliable console PC.

'..a more reliable console PC': What are the requirements? is it just
emulating a dumb terminal? If so, I have several ADM-3a's and an IBM 3101
that I would be most willing to donate.

Well, it's an original IBM PC, and it seems to lock up about once a month.
We used to use big 60-line Ann arbor Ambassador terminals, but I think those
got too flaky to use.

Some phone line may be ringing open. The last few times I've dialed in, it
rings several times, then rings differently (different rhythm, I think -
probably switching to another line), then connects.
This morning's crash garbaged my participation file. Bleah. But that was
quite a storm, and Grex was right to run & hide. 8-{)]
