11/22 Does motd entry via http://csua.com actually work? And why is this area in
the edit box different from the entries below?
\_ Yeah, I don't get it either. Some instructions would be useful.
\_ Are you trolling or something? You write something here the same way
you write /etc/motd.public, and after a few hours it may or may
not get archived. What is there to not understand? Granted the
interface totally blows by modern standard but I'm
not sure whether doing ssh http://csua.berkeley.edu; vi /etc/motd.public;
/csua/bin/mtd is any easier.
\_ Hmm, that is cool, I didn't realize you could write in this.
\_ yeah, esp. since they still haven't reinstated my acct -chug
\_ LMAO. Hey, me too. - nivra/op
\_ hey. wassup nivra! -chug
\_ hey gerald. how're things hanging in the states? I'm
off in commie land for the time being.
\_ Yah, umm... few hours ... archive ... modern computing... Why
archive in a few hours rather than a few minutes or even on post?
Why not write a script to merge multiple posts by the same ip
if you're concerned about corrections and such by one writer?
The main disconnect is between the immediate update within the
text box and the loooong delay in the area below. Where is that
disconnect explained? Oh, and anonymouscoward? Isn't that just
dependent on whether you sign your own name? Or does it actually
not log ip? - nivra
\_ So many questions. Why don't you write your own archiver?
\_ Questions are good. Just ask congress. Anyways, my point
was that the first post wasn't a troll, and is a fairly
common-sense question to a very non common-sense interface.
Apparently, the 2nd poster agrees with me, as well. |
