8/28    Is there a motd log?
        \_ not particularly, though certain people log it
           themselves periodically.
        \_If someone has a log of motd before 8/28 deletion(i.e. 8/27'th
        motd. Could you send a copy to me(xkd)? Thanks!
        \_ if you can figure out RCS, take a look at ~mehlhaff/tmp/motd
           You can rlog it and check out whatever version you want to look at.
        \_ huh huh, you said "log"!
           \_ why did I stumble across the /etc/passwd entries in that
              file? (motd,v)
              \_ Why did I stumble across them in /etc/passwd?
              \_  I only archive it, i dont edit it.  -ERic
           \_ I would recommend creating your own directory, symlinking
              the motd,v (so you can pull old motds with simple co -r# motd)
              (remember dates are stored UTC/GMT; use -zlt for local time)
              rlog -zlt -d">Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 1998 LT" motd
                \_ Thank you all very much for the help!!!

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
        \_ /etc/motd.public is not getting copied into /etc/motd for a while.
           \_ Now it works and no one knows why. Strange. -ausman

2/6     Um, what happened to http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~myname ?
        "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
        \_ Ausman is mostly right. LDAP went down due to an expired cert and
           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.)
           link:reader.google.com is the best
