6/12    I setup imaps and pop3s on a freebsd virtual server.  I can connect
        to it if I first ssh into the machine and do pine.  But if I try
        to connect to it from somewhere outside (say soda) it always times
        out.  I can see that the daemons are running from "netstat -a".
        What could be wrong?  some router filtering on 993 or 995?  Or
        the server is configured in some weird way?  this is a virtual server
        on http://startlogic.com.  I just switched to them.  Thanks.
        \_ type lsof -i:995, it should say (towards the end of the line)
           *:pop3s. If it says localhost:pop3s, you aren't listening externally
           Then you can nmap to port 995.  If you don't have the ability to nmap.
           Then you can nmap to port 995.  If you don't have the ability to nmap
           from an external box, email me with the info and i'll do it for you.

           (nmap can also tell you if it is filtered)  -crebbs
           *:pop3s. If it says localhost:pop3s, you aren't listening
           externally.  Then you can nmap to port 995.  If you don't have the
           ability to nmap from an external box, email me with the info and
           i'll do it for you.  (nmap can also tell you if it is filtered)
           -crebbs  [formatd]
        \_ You're almost certainly behind a firewall.  Contact startlogic's
           tech support.  It is also possible your servers are configured to
           only listen on local ports.  It sounds like you have shell access,
           so 'netstat -an' will list all open ip:port combinations.

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

11/4    Holy cow, I got a warning from my ISP that they were notified
        by BSA/baytsp.com that I was copying music/video/software.
        Do they do port scan or something? That's a first for me.
        \_ They hang out on P2P networks and track IP addresses.  -tom
           \_ I believe they are paid by content providers to perform this
              monitoring service, so you should only run this risk with content

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.

9/9     What should outbound mail server be when reading mail from soda
        with IMAP? Is there a FAQ?
        \_ It's <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD> (same as for incoming mail).
           \_ "The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP
               server <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD> failed. The server may
               be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections."
