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.

I tried dialing in last night, got connected, and no login prompt.

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-{)]

I added a bunch of lines to my .mailrc in an attempt to cut down on
those ridiculous large headers. Typical lines I added were
discard Received:
discard Message-ID:
Unfortunately, these didn't work. Is this a system problem or
my stupidity problem?

How do you get the pine program to not list al the other recipients of e-mail?
Someone just sent me a change of address, but he also sent it to 100 or so
other people.

Re resp:91 - I assume you're using the standard 'mail' program to
read mail. I can't find any mention of a 'discard' command in the
man page, so it appears not to be a system problem that it doesn't
work. This leaves the alternative... :)
Something that does work here is the 'retain' command. The arguments
should be the list of headers that you *do* want to see. For example,
you could put this in your .mailrc:
retain date to from subject
and 'mail' would show you just those four headers when it displays a
message.
