8/17    Is a motd history stored somewhere (i.e. past 3 days)?
        \_ *sighhhhh*  Yes.
           \_ Where?  If it's so painfully obvious it should be posted
              somewhere (ie. README)
              \_ It's not obvious.  Someone seems to ask this question
                 at least once a week, like fucking clockwork.
              \_ what readme?  at any rate, maybe it should be added to
                 /csua/share/doc/FAQ
                 \_ Then people will start asking if there's a FAQ and
                    where it is.
                    \_ a copy of the FAQ is created in the home directory of
                       new users. (why isn't it a link?)
        \_ I have a script that makes an RCS update of the motd whenever it
           notices the motd change.  My RCS archives of the motd date back
           about 2 years.  Its in ~mehlhaff/tmp/motd,v.  You'll have to
           learn a little about rcs to figure out how to read it.  -ERic

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
