11/18 HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE. THANKS TO DONATIONS FROM ALUMNI, THERE
SHALL ARRIVE THE DAWNING OF A NEW SODA, HEREAFTER TO BE KNOWN AS
SODA MARK FIVE
Therefore, the CSUA servers will be INACCESSIBLE this weekend, as
services and user accounts are being moved to the new machine. Mail
to root will be flamed silently at the discretion of the CSUA
Politburo until the new setup has stabilized.
Thank you for your support! |

It was the dawn of the third decade of the CSUA, ten years after the XCF War. The Server-Talk Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another disk-space war by creating a place where students and alumni could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of wall, /home away from /home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepeneurs, and wanderers. Files and programs stored in two million, five hundred thousand sectors of spinning metal, all alone in the machine room. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the soda workstations. The year is 1997. The name of the place is Soda Mark V. |

11/18 How is the new Mark Five soda machine different from the current
one? -- yuen
\_ It has 21 less processors than Mark IV, however it is hoped that
1 K6 > 22 386/20's. (It is already known that FreeBSD >> Dynix/PTX
for just about anything but MP, which is the only thing Dynix has
ever ruled at.) |

11/18 Has anyone had trouble getting xlock to work with shadow
passwords? How do I get around it not knowing where to look
for the passwords? Having it setuid does not work. -John
\_ Hmm, I managed to get version 4.01 to work with shadow
passwds. Maksure that on top of making the binary setuid
that the binary is owned by root. -- marc
\_ /usr/openwin/bin/xlock works fine with shadow passwords. |

11/18 New technical support positions available at Netscape. Check
out /usr/local/csua/jobs/Netscape
\_ wow -- you mean netscape finally decided to provide technical
support? That's cool. Id rather be buggered by a dry-rotting
broom handle than do tech support at 'scrape, but hey, they
have k001 shirtz.
\_ Better late than never, right! Plus there's free beer |

11/17 Where can I find the Linux patch for Pentium PO error? Thanks.
The site http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/8577.html
claims that Linux sent out patches, but I can't find it on
the Linux web site. Thanks.
\_ religious diatribe fanned by minor pentium bug deleted.
\_ No, wait! I still want to know why everyone thinks my P5 is
now suddenly "worthless" just because some minor bug cropped up. |
