I'm not familiar with that file, so I can't help, eprom. Drop a line to
either cfadm@cyberspace.org or staff@cyberspace.org.

I can't telnet to grex, but ssh works.
Telnet is failing from different machines in different places.

Yep, cannot reach cyberspace.org via telnet. This is being posted via
backtalk (web).

This morning someone originally from Samarkand sent me a tel asking if I was
admin (maybe because I was dialled in) and trying to say something about a
problem with inetd and port settings. He was I think trying to let me know
how to fix the problem so I asked him to explain to staff@. After which we
discussed languages and cooking for 3 hours! Jews from Samarkand speak
Bokhari as well as about 5 other local languages some of which I never heard
of. His family was killed in the 90s and he escaped via Greece, where the
local Uzbeks were threatening him so he came here and is doing something with
software that he finds boring but which lets him chat all morning.
Does Win98 have ssh capabilities? A friend just called to ask how she can
access grex now that Chelsea is a long-distance call and telnet is dead.
She has been sending in her dues faithfully and hoping grex would stabilize,
silly girl.

same thing as marcvh noted a few hours ago. grex does not respond to
telnet, and hasnt been responding to telnet all evening, but does
respond to ssh (which Im on currently) and backtalk. why would this
be happening?

Backtalk is crashing nastily for some reason, at least for anonymous access.

Unlike ssh and http, telnet is started out of inetd. For some reason, inetd
was hosed. "kill -HUP" didn't help, so I killed it dead and restarted it.

Thanks Joe! Don't know what grex would do without you.
My friend has no idea how to download Putty for Win98, or even what a file
is. Someone set her up to dial provide.net and use telnet.

Heh, looks like provide.net will be getting a lot of business from
Grexers now.
Now if only I could get their "TurboConnect" to stop dropping calls on
me...

Next time any disk work is done, would it be possible to either
increase the size of the /var partition above 3GB or to put
/var/mail (or /var/spool/mail, or wherever OpenBSD puts it) on
its own partition?

small .exe. just run it.

re #789: you're right -- somehow I overlooked it before..
it'd still be nice to either have a bigger /var or have whatever
keeps filling it up isolated elsewhere..

I got /var down to 67% full by moving stuff over to /grex/zcore.
Hopefully i didn't screw too much up...

Re putty download, my friend has no idea how to download anything. We tried
several times to teach her to download files from grex and gave up. She does
not know what a file is. Or where the files are in the first place. I tried
to draw pictures. Or how to run a program. We set her up to type grex in
order to reach her email here with pine, after turning on the computer.
Someone else managed to set her up with IE and telnet. I tried to explain
how to change from white on black to black on white printing. She lives
several hours bike ride from here and it is snowy out.
