I just talked to Mike about a problem I am having, I can't delete 
mail. Mike said it is because the snf disk is
too full. Could some one "un-fill" it?

Thanks.

Sharleen,

Ultimately, we need to find a way to get our users to clean up their home
directories.  In the meantime, I've cleared some space, but this won't
last for long.

Thanks,

Mahnaz,

Your new machine is all set up in your office and ready to go.  With generous
assistance from Mike Bell, I have installed the latest version of all your
applications and have moved all your data from your old computer to your
new computer.  Please confirm that all of the applications that you require
are installed and configured to your satisfaction.  Also make sure that I've
moved all the data that you need.  If you should find something missing,
I have your old computer in my office so that it can be placed on the network
to move anything I have missed.  

Since I did not know your password, I have set a temporary password that
you can change at your convenience.  I have left the machine logged in and
running under your username (mahnaz).  I have also left your password on
your voice mail.

If you have any problems, you can reach me via email tomorrow.  I will be
in the office Wednesday to make any changes in configuration that you need.

Thanks for your patience,
Bill

Thanks for the message on your BSOD (blue screen of death.)  I don't think this
means it's on the endangered list just yet, although it's difficult to know
what's been damaged by a virus attack.  For now reboot the machine when this
happens and let us know.  Please send the message to computer at snf.stanford.edu.
Also I've scheduled a defrag of the disks to run this morning.  In addition I'll
reload the service pack later.

You should have a "please respond to" e-mail message in your mailbox about

Problems of this sort may  be sent to computer at snf.stanford.edu.  I would suugest you use HP Jetdirect (which you can download over the web from the HP web site) to connect to
the printer "bartlett". It has an IP address of  171.64.100.165.

Related to printing ... rather than each person using Jetdirect and the

folks printed to the barlett print queue on cis.stanford.edu.  I had thought
that people had too much control over the printer if they were running
Jetdirect.  Am I confused on this score?
I'm sort of thinking about this, becuase I keep finding that bartlett is
offline after Dick Crane prints and it appears as if he is not going through
the cis print queue.  While I may have misinterpreted these symptons, that is
what I thought I had observered.

John,

Actually I started using jet direct after Jason advised it. I wasn't aware of any
problems, but that doesn't mean they don't exit. If printing through the
cis.stanford.edu machine works that sounds good to me.  I can't say that I've
ever noticed the offline problem you mentioned, but I'll be glad to check it out.
I have to plead guilty to setting up Dick's machine to use it.

John and Mike,

I think Jason has discouraged us from using the print queue on CIS.  (Don't
quote me on this cause my memory is a little fuzzy on this one.)  At one
time we had access to cis, but this has changed since Jason upgraded the
box.  I think there are real advantages to having a Unix box control the 
print queues for all our printers.  However, to accomplish this we will
probably need to move the print queues to one of our Unix boxes (like
snf).  Once again, I don't know when we'll find the time to do this.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill and Mike:

I just happened to be chatting with Jason about printers ... I couldn't print
from Forsythe today.  Turns out, Jason had turned off access to the cis print
queue to machines outside of the building because leland machines had been
hammering on our printer pretty heavily.

However, he said that he actually prefers it if people use the cis print queue
... in part because if people use JetDirect they can, apparently, set a
password which anyone else using JetDirect would have to know.  He told me
that he would post a link to a Web site where he describes how Win2000 folks
can easily set themselves up to use bartlett.

Also, if I am not mistaken, virtually all of our machines (snf, rosen, etc.)
are set up to use the cis print queue ... guilden and some of the other new
boxes probably aren't set up that way yet.

Now, the only problem with the use of cis ... do any of us still know root on
that machine.  I did at one point ...

Thanks,

John

He's changed the root password so if anything goes wrong with bartlett's
print queue, we can't fix it.  Maybe this is a good thing if he's willing
to handle all bartlett problems?

If you check the front of Bartlett you'll find a url that will help you to install the printer in the recommended manner (not using jet direct.)

Sharleen,

The only way I know of is to shut down all mail on snf.  So I think we're
going to have to rely upon the Networking staff to block this.  It would
also help if our users more vigilant about not opening attachments with
viruses.

Subject: list management

Hi-

  Are you in charge of maintaining the SNF listserver?  If not, please
forward this to the person who is.

  I would like to ask that you take a simple step to reduce the number of
viruses, bounce messages, and other spam sent to the main labmembers list
and perhaps other lists, which is to restrict posting privileges to list
members.  This may be complicated because people have email aliases, but
in any case, if I were a system administrator I would not consider it
acceptable to have such low security for a large list that everybody needs
to be on.

  I'm sure that many people would appreciate any attention paid to this
problem.

Thanks,

Dave

Subject: Qmail problems ...
Message-ID: <3CC1BB9C.8D848A9A@snf.stanford.edu>

Bill and Mike:

When I came in this morning, qmail was still (well, had started again ...)
thrashing with those stupid virus-bounced kind of messages.  I found a utility
called qmHandle that provides for more automated inspection of the qmail queue
including inspection, deletion of some or all messages in the queue, etc.

It is a Perl script called that lives in /app/ezmlm/bin/qmHandle.  In general,
it needs to be run as root.  There is also a readme file in
/app/ezmlm/bin/README-qmHandle that gives its usage.  Some of the keys are:
	qmHandle -l		List all messages (local and remote) in the queue.
	qmHandle -dN		Remove message number "N" from the queue
	qmHandle -D		Remove the entire queue ...

Note: for qmHandle -D (which I ran, and maybe others) it stops qmail, does its
work, and then restarts qmail.

With luck ... this will eliminate our problems.

Note: I'm also looking at means of restricting posting from non-labmembers ...
this is not trivial because most of our folks have their mail aliased
elsewhere and, to make matters worse, often send mail from a still different
machine.  But, I'll try to see what is possible ...

Thanks,

John

Here is another one. I took "labmembers" out of my address book. It 
seems doing this has not helped.

Sharleen, Mike, and Bill:

I've been unable to stop this flood of messages ... I'd tried to no accepts
mail from some of these supposedly helpful scan tools, but to no avail.

Accordingly, I've temporarily removed everyone but me from the labmembers
mailing list ... I tried to send out a message about this, but it was caught
in another rash of these return messages, so I purged the queue and manually
unsubscribed (but me) from labmembers.
Thanks,

John

On some filesystems a few % of space are reserved for root, so that may still
have been it.
