12/01   Anyone get TeraTerm + ssh to work connecting to Soda?  I changed the
        protocol to blowfish, but SSH mysteriously drops after attempting to
        connect.  (Alternatively, a list of win32 ssh clients would be
        usefull--I didn't find the ones on the csua www page to be useful.)
        \_ It works for me.  Does it give any error messages when it
           disconnects?  Can it connect to other machines than soda?
        \_ Here is the obligatory why don't you install a real os with a real
           ssh client follow up.
        \_ I installed it on my dad's Windows98 box to login when I visit them
           and had no problems (other than getting a new key when we went to
           Mark VI).  -- bcmuller
        \_ Worked fine for me as well, and I've installed it on several
           different machines (win98, win2k, winnt 4)
        \_ Are you sure you're using Tera Term Pro and TTSSH?
           \_ Works for me, too. -ausman
        \_ sshd has been acting up - there have been random times when it
        has refused connections.  From what I know mikeh has been considering
        installing the old ssh.  This is information dated last week - paolo

9/24    How come changing my shell using ldapmodify (chsh doesn't work) doesn't
        work either? ldapsearch and getent show the new shell but I still get
        the old shell on login.
        \_ Scratch that, it magically took my new shell now. WTF?

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

3/8     I'm reading about an old exploit where someone used a buffer overflow
        in a printer daemon to get "daemon privileges," which allowed them
        to use another exploit on the mail delivery program to get root.  I'm
        not sure what daemon privileges are.  Is there some set of priveleges
        that most daemons run on that is higher than user but lower than root?
        What are they?  I've never heard this before.

12/31   SOMEONE PLEASE FIX KEG!  Why does it keep crashing?
        \_ It's hard to tell. The risk of crashing seems to increase with
           disk activity, or so it seems, but debugging the kernel doesn't
           seem to yield much info. Email root for detailed info; I don't
           have a deep understanding of the problem --t

1/1     Is email still down?  My outgoing email seems to be not working.
        Also ssh password login seems to be not working (but certificate works).

12/4    A question to you old crufy alumni: So lately we've suggested
        VMs, and been asked why it's necessary. We've suggested top-of-the-line
        hardware and been told we don't need that much power. So I'd like to
        ask -- what exactly do you think the CSUA is supposed to _be_?
