2012/9/20-11/7 [Computer/SW/Unix, Finance/Investment] UID:54482 Activity:nil | 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.
Typical newbie sys admin (on soda)
\_ Actually, it does: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 37552 Feb 15 2011 /usr/bin/chsh

2012/5/8-6/4 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:54383 Activity:nil | 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

2012/2/9-3/26 [Computer/SW/Security, Computer/SW/Unix] UID:54305 Activity:nil | 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.

2011/9/14-12/28 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:54172 Activity:nil | 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

\_ Oh, and http://irc.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU is online again.

2011/6/5-8/27 [Computer/HW/Memory] UID:54127 Activity:nil | 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
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.

highest addresses at the top or at the bottom?
\_ When I explain any memory layout including stacks, I draw with the
highest addresses at the bottom. But I've seen people doing the
other way. -- yuen

2010/7/25-8/25 [Computer/SW/Graphics] UID:53897 Activity:nil | 7/25 What's up with that moving bit pattern that Win7 displays when it
boots up? (It's the one that's like in the Apple II days when you
use the graphics memory for code or data while it's still in HGR
mode.) Is there a way to disable that? It slows things down a lot
every time I reboot my Win7 VM on my office machine if I RDP to the
machine via DSL. Thanks in advance.

at UCB ugrad cs, probably replaced emacs. Furthermore, people get
angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I
guess it's just a sign of the times.
\_ The more people at my work use eclipse the less the code is
managable in emacs. I'm not sure which application's fault
