[Linux-users] syslog and pine

[Kevin Falcone]

Since this list carries no traffic, jon and I decided to liven it up
tonight.

I noticed that the linux boxes weren't logging user accesses to tig
like we thought they were.  This happened because we were sending
authpriv.* to tig, but tig is listening for auth.* and priv.*
We've corrected this by sending all three alerts (and mail.*) to tig.
authpriv seems to catch things such as failed su attempts and failed
login attempts, so at some point it would be nice for tig to log
these.

In response to RT ticket 28819 I've upgrade pine from 2.44 (slackware)
to 2.53  (/arch/unix).  And I've taken the pine.conf from the solaris
machines and hopefully this will solve sreenath's problem.

xpdf 2.01 has been installed to complement acroread

latex/tex has been installed.  For some odd reason, slackware didn't
include it in the base install we did back during the summer <boggle>

If there is further software people want to see installed, your beta
privileges will work just fine on the linux boxes.
