I would like a way of contacting you about the system and changes to it.
If you have never logged in but requested a login, your password
will almost certainly be '.'
(".")
change it asap
this is not a secure system. UIDS and passwords are only for convenience
so we can tell which mail comes from who.
while I'm on, I might as well give the following 'roundup'
of activities on ref:
we are setting up mail aliases (maybe a list server later) to
co-ordinate people porting packages to 386bsd. If you wish to port any
package to 386bsd
then log on (as guest will do) and check the files /etc/workgroups
and /var/lib/aliases.
If a workgroup exists for your package, or special 386bsd related interest,
add yourself (1 user per line) to the appropriate
file in /usr/aliases.
New workgroups and aliases may be added by any user wanting to
do so.
A MUD will be set up containing a number of 'Meeting rooms'
to allow people to take part in 'multi-way' discussions regarding 386bsd and
package related matters. This MUD will not be an adventure and
I ask you to not extend it to be such. It is a facility for allowing
development on 386bsd to be easier.
to get yourself on a mailing list if you do not have internet access,
mail to julian@ref.tfs.com for now.
Interest groups so far include:
kernel: (generic)
kernel: (Isolan/Isolink drivers) /sys/i386/isa/if_is.c
Xfree86
xvgr:
mathlib:
ghostscript:
ghostview:
xfract:
gcc:
libg++:
binutils:
make:
xview:
ftptool:
archie: version 1.4.1
elm:
mush:
uemacs:
codrv: (Console replacement driver with special X386 support)
tf: 2.0.beta6
less: version 48
also: zip,unzip,and zip utilities (unknown persons)
I expect each of these to develop a separate mailing list.
things we still need:
a more complete MAN system that can handle nroff format man pages.
as well as cat format pages.
someone who really understands list servers.
a MUD expert.
