    Is wharton no longer on the arpanet, or is the host table trashed?
    It's in the arpanet-bboards list, but it took me a bit to track this
    down because comsat issued no diagnostic for a "TO:(BBOARD WHARTON)", just
    sent it to bboard locally (which is a dumb thing to do).

Wharton is off the arpanet due to administrative fuckup of some sort or
another.  They'll be back someday (at different address) when it all
gets straightened out.

:host WHARTON
Lookup failed.

So, it is not in the host table on MC.  

CAH tells me that WHARTON punted the ARPAnet, or the other way
around.  Politics, or something like that.

Something appears wrong with the way certain host names are
being displayed by FINGER.  While most of the lines printed
out are fine, FINGER is consistently showing these lines wrong:
FONER  T  Leonard N. Foner       F           T43  #27: At home
GYRO   A  Scott W. Layson        HACTRN    7.T44 Net site  (Chaos)

As you can see, the hostnames (in my case, MIT-TIP...  I don't know
about Scott) are not being displayed.  I dunno what's wrong.

Ciao.

DDT could avoid this by doing its interrupt-level typeout
(e.g. of sends) on a separate I/O channel.

    I was SUPDUPing to AI from XX.  While reading my mail with $^A I typed
    a space to a --More-- break.  It spat out:

    TTY: MT;     - ILLEGAL CHR AFTER CNTRL P ON TTY DISPLAY

    I can't reproduce this as nothing at all out of the ordinary was being
    done.  I did notice that there was new mail in my mail file that I had
    not seen a notification for; perhaps it was trying to print it when it
    got the error.
This is the usual screw with two-character escape sequences getting
asynchronous typeout intervening between them.

On AI, sometimes when you get a TV by hitting call, you get
wedged in TTYI.  It looks like the person get blocked at TYI1+20.
I dont know anything about that part of the system yet.

	I doubt that ITS will ever implement InterNet, and I see no signs
of them implementing SMTP. In the meantime, you can get mail from ITS
to InterNet sites by sending mail to "person%final_host"@forwarder_host;
I am told that the ISI sites provide such a forwarding arrangement; others,
closer to MIT, should be appearing shortly.

Subject: MC mem D
Message-ID: <mailman.351.1479821109.4695.its@nocrew.org>

The problem with memory D is massive trauma to its electrical outlet
under the floor, and its plug.  The plastic is melted and somewhat
burned.  I left the floor pulled up and the plug unplugged so you
can see it.  I don't know whether this is due to a fault of mem D
itself, however I saw no evidence of burned wiring inside its power
control.  Neither the circuit breaker on mem D nor the one on the wall
is blown.  This will need the attention of some sort of electrician.

By the way, could you ask whoever is in charge not to block off maintenance
access to the MC machine?  I shoved the offending desk out into the main
passageway where it will cause a massacre if there is a fire--hopefully
this will ensure that it gets moved to someplace reasonable soon
(not shoved back in front of the machine where it blocks off the memory
doors).

Whoever did GFR 25 seems to have reaped the wrong files.

Since some twit opened all the files on the system on 2 April,
reference date was no good for reaping on.

The XGP login init was reaped, along with a couple other files.

Whoever did it, please fix it. Thanks.

In COMSAT 380, ITS 1273, on MIT-AI:

COMSAT was not properly delivering mail to GUMBY.  The stats log says
the mail was delivered, and he got CLI messages saying it had been.
But the mail seems to have gone into a black hole.

I temporarily changed his netaddress to MC; receiving mail on another
host seems to work fine.  I wonder how many other people have been
losing mail, and how this could be happenning?

It might be that the bootstrap loader for the job has to fit in the AC's and
doesn't have enough locations left to signal an error -- maybe it does a .LOGOUT
thinking that will make ITS signal an error for it, but someone broke ITS to
reload the job instead?  Just a theory.
