Most people aren't seeing delays in postings appearing on the list, but some are... here's why... You have to put from the exact email address that you are subscribed with. If you mail server is munging that for some reason, the posts are considered to be from non-subscribers and I have to manually approve them, hence the delay. More to the point, I'm getting a few list members posts for moderation every time, because they apparently have a problem with the BCC or CC fields. I am not sure what's going on with that, but it only affects certain list members. Until I get some time (later today or tomorrow perhaps) to dig into exactly why that happens, those users posts will be slow because I have to approve them. I do check for posts needing approval VERY frequently during the day and night, but with the current workload still working on the list setup, this isn't probably quite as frequent as those affected list members might like. I'm trying! Jay West

I tried to buy the rights, but she wanted too much. I like the controller and when I run out (two more left, I think), I'll re-do the art. Not for commercial use, of course, and I may send the widow some bucks anyhow... -dq

Jay, or some other list admin here... Is the delay, of messages from cctech getting posted to cctalk, intentional? Okay, after that downpour of cross-posts... the delay is shorter. I assume that's due to server processing?

[CCTALK] [OT] Emabrgoed Domains

</MODE=SMART_ASS> >From: Ethan Dicks <erd_6502(a)yahoo.com> ^^^^^^^^^ >I understand the sentiment, but that hoses me. I work for one of those >guys (I'm not admitting which one here - company policy)... Ummm.... </MODE=NORMAL> Glad swri.edu wasn't on the embargoed list. I couldn't understand the punch through instructions. Is it easy to embargo countries vs. domains? - Mark

I've done it > before with good results but not with anything truly unique. I've done it many times with great results. The only component I can think of that may be an issue are old UV erasable EPROMS. I would imagine that the scanner lamp may put out enough UV light to cause a problem. _______________________________________________ cctech mailing list cctech(a)classiccmp.org http://www.classiccmp.org/mailman/listinfo/cctech

[CCTALK] [OT] Emabrgoed Domains

by dougq＠iglou.com

Sorry about this, but the volume of spam has gotten intolerable, and the domains that are hosting it have been embargoed; anything from the domains yahoo.com hotmail.com msn.com aol.com will be deleted with extreme prejudice. If you happen to be one of those very few decent people who are using one of these ISPs (yes I'm pissed), and you want to contact me, you'll have to punch through the filter. To do that, take the two-word phrase I used in the sentence above, misspell the second word using the commonly-used shorter mispelling, concatenate it with the violence word that precedes it, capitalize, and enclose the result in square brackets. Someday, somebody will make procmail easy to use, and this won't be necessary. Regards, -doug q

[CCTALK] DEC Unix (Break-in) DIgital Dec3000/500 Flamingo

COINCIDENTLY: I was trying to break into a DEC 3000/500 system I inherited >from a launched development project here at OCLC. Rick Murphy's post also got me into single user mode on my system, But unlike you I haven't a Clue on how to edit the password files now that I am In. I had almost sent off for NetBSD for the Flamingo, but reading thier list I could not have used the console or Mouse that is on this system. My system has Digital Unix V4.0D (rev 878) May 5 1998 During the Boot the system changes Fonts and goes to 1280X1024 Mode My system has 224 MBytes of Ram 2 RZ25 drives, one RZ26 drive, one RRD42 cd drive and a TLZ06 tape transport. It also has the DEC lance ethernet installed. So how do I edit the root password from here? This is my first foray into unix admin.... Sincerely Larry Truthan
