7/7 Where's the fucking man page??
        Excerpt from /csua/chare/doc/FAQ -
        12. You keep telling me to "man" things. What are you talking about?
       "man" is short for "manual". "man foo" means "show me the manual
       entry on foo". Type "man rtfm" for a sample manpage.
                http://soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU% man rtfm
                No manual entry for rtfm
                \_ what is rtfm?
                    \_ Why don't you read the fucking manual!!!
                \_ lost with the old csua motd man page in the transition
                        to new soda
                    \_ why not create a new one?
                        \_ Because *you* haven't done it yet, dumbshit.
                           We're waiting for you to do it.
        \_ in your .cshrc file add a setenv MANPATH to include
           /usr/share/man, /usr/X11/man, and /csua/man.  Or you could
           just delete the line and see if it will inherit the path.
                \_ WON'T HELP - THERE IS NO RTFM MAN PAGE IN ANY OF THOSE
                        \_ It may not help you access the nonexistent rtfm
                           manpage, but it will let you access the motd one
                           and various others.  I highly recommend NOT setting
                           MANPATH in your .cshrc.

9/26    I remember there was web version of the motd with search function
        (originally due to kchang ?).  The last time I used it it was hosted
        on the csua website but I can't remember its url (onset of dementia?)
        now. Can somebody plz post it, tnx.

9/4     It looks like there are some issues with wallall at the moment. Any
        plans for it getting fixed? I can run wall, but wallall just gives an
        error.
        \_ Asking questions on the motd will not get any attention from
           any undergrad. You should email politburo or perhaps csua. -ausman

4/19    Motd updater thingy seems to be broken, does anyone know why?
        If not, I will take a look later in the day. -ausman

        "The requested URL /~myname/ was not found on this server."
        \_ Try emailing root or politburo. I don't think that the
           undergrads use this machine anymore. -ausman

           took down most of the rest of our stuff. It's probably a thing with

2/24    What newsreader should I use on soda?
        \_ USENIX? You serious? Everyone switched to RSS.
           \_ I think you mean usenet not usenix.  usenet was generally much
              better than blogs / rss (cf. comp.lang.c, comp.lang.perl,
              the usenet oracle, alt.* with digg, slashdot, etc.)

10/1    I typed man ls on soda and didn't get a man page.  How can
        I fix this?
        \_ I have this line in my .cshrc:

           "Warning: cannot open configuration file /etc/man.config

4/3     How come *man* suddenly doesn't work anymore?  What has changed?
        Has the env path been changed?
        \_ Correct problem reporting protocol:  Say what you tried doing.
           Say what didn't happen.  Say who you are so we can see what
           your environment is.  Oh, and mail root.  --scotsman

9/16    To use SpamAssassin do I only need a .procmailrc, or do I need
        something in my .forward also?  I looked at ~danh/.procmailrc.
        What do I put at the end if I want to deliver locally to my
        soda account?  Thanks!
        \_ You don't need a .forward on soda. If sendmail sees a

10/20   The idea of manpage is stupid. All --help option should be embedded
        in the binary.
        \_ alias woman man
        \_ hello, there is no mmap(2) binary on soda.

           hack the binary too

        \_ man mconst
           \_ Sorry, but there is no such man page.  Where can I find out?

3/8     Some older accounts have incomplete manpaths, they should be:
            "/usr/man:/csua/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11/man"
        If you don't have this, man www, etc. won't work.
        \_ No, actually, you should just not have a MANPATH.  Remove any line
           that says setenv MANPATH in your .cshrc or MANPATH= in your
           .profile/.bashrc.  --dbushong
