1/6     Is there a mail program on a unix machine (say, soda) that uses
        pgp automatically when you read a mail in a mailbox file.
                \_ the latest versions of elm do
                   \_ How?  Can't find mention of pgp in man elm.
        \_ Why, do you fear the power of root cow?
        \_ modify the sending-filters entry under pine.
                \_ the latest versions of elm do
        \_ You could easily write a program to watch your mail file for
           changes, and encrypt it to a new file when it does change.
           In fact you could just hack up biff to do it!
           \_ My hacking fu is not strong.  Is there a way to use pgp
                within pine?  I just want to do pgp message wise like
           \_ My hacking fu is not weak.  Is there a way to use pgp
           And if you are root, then just hack your incoming mail program,
           not that hard.
           \_ My hacking fu is weak.  Is there a way to use pgp
                within pine?  I just want to do pgp message-wise like
                some MIME encoding.  BTW, what does pgpdecode and pgpencrypt
                do?  Can't man them.
                \_ sigh. do this:
                  "pgp -kg"
                  "elm"
                  The rest is self-documenting.
                  Oops. After you set your o)ptions to be an intermediate
                  instead of beginning user in elm, that is.
        \_ What is up w/ PGP for UNIX anyway.  How come for Windows & Mac,
           you can get PGP6, w/ 4096-bit keys, but UNIX world continues
           to plod along w/ 2.6.2 w/1024-bit keys.
           http://www.pgpi.com for latest versions.
                      \_ you lose
           \_ I think the only difference is the key generator.  Just use
              the inferior OS version to generate your 4096 bit key but
              use pgpi to actually send and receive.
                \_ mutt has much better pgp support than elm.  -tom
                   \_ but i like elm better
                      \_ you lose  the popularity contest,
                                   but win a better mailreader

9/20    How do I change my shell? chsh says "Cannot change ID to root."
        \_ /usr/bin/chsh does not have the SUID permission set. Without
           being set, it does not successfully change a user's shell.

5/8     Hello everyone!  This is Josh Hawn, CSUA Tech VP for Spring 2012.
        About 2 weeks ago, someone brought to my attention that our script
        to periodically merge /etc/motd.public into /etc/motd wasn't
        running.  When I looked into it, the cron daemon was running, but
        there hadn't been any root activity in the log since April 7th.  I
        looked into it for a while, but got lost in other things I was

2/9     Reminder: support for mail services has been deprecated for *several
        years*. Mail forwarding, specifically .forward mail forwarding, is
        officially supported and was never deprecated.
        \_ There is no .forward under ~root.  How do we mail root and how do
           we get responses?
           \_ root@csua.berkeley.edu is and always has been an alias.

9/12    We've restored CSUA NFS to something vaguely resembling normal
        functionality -- plus, with some luck, we should now have something
        vaguely resembling normal uptime, too!  Ping root@csua.org if you
        notice any problems.  --jordan

6/5     In an effort to stabilize our services, we'll be rebuilding parts of
        the CSUA infrastructure over the course of this summer.  To give us
        some wiggle room, I've temporarily decreased soda's allocated RAM from
        8GB to 2GB.  If you need to run something that requires large amounts
        of memory, please send mail to root@csua.org and we'll try to
        accommodate your request.  --jordan

        \_ What's wall?
           \_ An anachronism from a bygone era, when computers were hard to
