\_ /usr/bin/chsh does not have the SUID permission set. Without
being set, it does not successfully change a user's shell.
Typical newbie sys admin (on soda)

About 2 weeks ago, someone brought to my attention that our script

running. When I looked into it, the cron daemon was running, but

years*. Mail forwarding, specifically .forward mail forwarding, is
officially supported and was never deprecated.

functionality -- plus, with some luck, we should now have something
vaguely resembling normal uptime, too! Ping root@csua.org if you

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
comeby, the dorms didn't have net, there was no airbears, and
when phones didn't come standard with twitter or sms.
\_ A non useful implementation of twitter.
