11/13   What's going on with Soda?
        \_ Dunno, but on the motd archive at http://csua.com the 24 Hour Diff
           shows the last motd edit was at: 11/12 15:46 . So, I'm guessing
           that's just about when soda went down since the motd is pretty
           much always active.
           \_ Sigh, kids today cannot be trusted to run anything other than
              WinXP and XBox.
              \_ Maybe they booted soda with WinXP so they could do some
                 gaming.
              \_ So you're gonna take care of it, ancient master?
                 \_ Yes. Give me the root password.
                    \_ Snatch the root password from my hand, grasshopper, and
                       I will know you are ready.
        \_ God's final message to his creation: We apologize for the
           inconvenience --Ed (soda will be back up eventually)
           \_ Still waiting. What's going on?
              \_ I just called the office. Apparently mconst found another
                 rootkit on soda, so they took it down. It's not back yet
                 because they decided to do a little restructuring of the
                 along with the re-install.
                 \_ wow...  another rootkit?
                 \_ If I donate $10 will you speed it up?
                    \_ Sorry, I'm just a fairly-uninvolved allum. I just called
                       the office, I can't speed anything up. Maybe you could
                       try calling mconst and asking him. (You can google his
                       phone #, I don't know if it works)
        \_ I'm actually getting work done at work. Maybe this is a good thing.
           \_ Work will always be there no matter how much you get done,
              until they lay you off or you die. MOTD, however, is not.

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
