11/2    Is there anything called a .vacation file that autoresponds to any
        e-mail you get and tells them you'renot there?
        \_ look at procmail. the man page includes a trivial implementation
        of vacation. -aaron
         \_ Welcome to 1996.
        \_ "man vacation".  You make a hook to vacation via your .forward file.
        (actually I just checked. soda didn't seem to have a vaction page).
        Find the page on soda or try on another machine.  My manpath may
        just be screwed up.
         \_ Soda's "man" command is screwed up - use gman instead.
        \_Thanks.  Found it on beer.  Soda doesn't have a man page for it.
           \_ That's because soda doesn't have the vacation software at all.
         \_ I don't have access to beer.
          \_ so find another computer with vacation - almost
           every UNIX (except Dynix) has it...

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

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.

1/27    Interesting list of useful unix tools. Shout out to
        cowsay even!

        \_ This is nice.  Thanks.

10/24  What's an easy way to see if say column 3 of a file matches a list of
       expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
       to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
       I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
       was wondering if there was some magic way to do this.
       \_ UNIX has no magic. Make a shell script to produce the ask or egrep

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

11/12   How does one find out if a system has rootkit installed?
        \_ Unix or m$?
           \_ Unix. On M$ I always assume it's compromised.
              \_ Install Tripwire before you plug your server into The Net?
                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

10/1    I typed man ls on soda and didn't get a man page.  How can
        I fix this?
        \_ I have this line in my .cshrc:
           setenv MANPATH "/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11/man:/csua/man:/usr/share/man"
           setenv MANPATH "/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11/man:/csua/man:

9/4     I'm seriously very happy Soda no longer runs FreeBSD.
        FreeBSD is really going down the tubes

        \_ funny, I dont remember it geting pwned anywhere near as many tmies
           as it has since the switch to Linux.  And that blog post is
           only abou the installer, not the running OS
