11/14   I know they're generally a pretty lame alternative, but how
        would people/root/politburo feel about running a webmail server
        on soda for folks who'd like to check their mail by browser?
        Mind you, I'm not suggesting a public free mail server, but
        currently I have nothing but proxied http net access, and I
        wasn't about to suggest port-redirecting http on scotch to ssh
        the way mconst did with telnet (yay!)  I have been playing with
        MailMan from http://www.endymion.com with the idea of having cron
        move my mail to a restricted directory so I could read it via
        shell account as well as browser.  Has anyone ever considered an
        https server on scotch/soda so http passwords wouldn't be sent
        in cleartext?  Just some thoughts...   -John
        \_ I'd prefer to respond to this over mail. --root
                \_ in my personal experience, root usually replies something
                   and then just delete my mail. fuck root.

        \_ Have you thought of getting non-proxy net access?
           \_ I currently forward my mail from soda, and I have a mail
              address and non-proxy net access with a provider.  I
              was simply playing around with ways to get my mail off
              soda through a firewall for the fun of it, and thought that
              maybe, perhaps, possibly, people might be interested in having
              me invest some time to set it up.  Obviously not, since
              I haven't gotten any feedback except from the usual
              too-chickenshit-to-sign-your-name peanut gallery.  -John

        http://mashable.com/2013/09/15/severed-finger-iphone-5s
        I'm sure the Apple QA department has tested extensively that a severed
        finger will not be able to access a stolen iPhone 5S.
        \_ It doesn't matter whether or not a severed finger can be used.  It

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

7/13    Why would Yahoo store passwords unencrypted?  I recall that even 20+
        years ago the passwords stored in /etc/passwd on instructional
        machines here at Cal were one-way encrypted.  (I think those were
        Ultrix machines.)

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.
