(ttyp2) grex login: newuser
newuser program (Version: February 29, 1996)
Welcome to Grex, a service of Cyberspace Communications,
located in
Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Note: Grex does not allow bots of ANY kind--they will not work
here. IRC only works for paying members. Bringing over
your own copies WILL NOT WORK. Do not FTP IRC/bots to Grex.
EGGDROP WILL NOT WORK HERE. BOUNCERS WILL NOT WORK HERE.
Grex is a Sun-4/670 MP, running SunOS 4.1.4. It has 256M of RAM and
8GB of hard disk space. We have 11 public dial-in phone lines
and a dedicated 128K ISDN connection to the Internet. Grex is run
by an all-volunteer staff. There is no software upload/download area.
You may be wondering what kind of system Grex is. To help explain
that, here is the Grex Declaration of Principles:
Press
Declaration of Principles
This system is intended to foster community education and the
spiritual and intellectual enrichment of its users through
the peaceable interchange of ideas.
The members of this system hope to attract a large, diverse, and
mature group of thinking individuals and thereby to contribute
to a better-informed citizenry.
Governance of the system is based on cooperative principles,
including open membership, democratic control, and non-
profit economics.
This is an open-access system; the public is welcome. However,
regular users are encouraged to become members and help
support the system financially. Voting on system policy
matters is restricted to members.
It should go without saying that the system is specifically NOT
intended for any illegal purpose.
Users are asked to be considerate of others, and are especially
asked to make a point of setting a good example for those
few who may from time to time fail to return the favor.

Limitations of Grex
(or, The Tragedy of the Electronic Commons)
Because of the popularity of Grex, we're *swamped* with all the
traffic going over our Internet link. This link is only 128K--over
which people telnet in, mail flows, FTP, Lynx, and all the other
Internet applications share (or rather, fight over). We're sorry
to have to talk about restrictions, but we need your help!
Grex is primarily a computer conferencing system. Note that
WE ARE NOT AN INTERNET PROVIDER. This means that we aren't a good
place to store files, do FTPs from, etc. Please do try out the
conferences; we have many topics ranging from the silly to the
serious.
You will not be able to use most Internet services (telnet, FTP,
etc.) once you've made an account here. You must first become a
member in order to have access to these programs. Bringing over your
own copy of telnet/ftp/whatever, will not work.
We need your help to keep Grex's Internet connection working at
anything close to a reasonable speed. There are three main areas
of concern--we'd really appreciate it if:
Press
- You do not subscribe to large mailing lists and then forget about them!
If you decide to leave Grex, *please* unsubscribe yourself from the lists
you are on. Mail is the single most resource intensive application on Grex.
Your help in curbing "mail bloat" is sincerely appreciated! If you create
a ".forward" file here, do remember that all the mail you get on Grex will
*twice* slow Grex down for everybody who uses Grex (once coming in and once
going back out of Grex).
- Do not create mailing lists.
- Do not send or receive more than 100 K of mail in a day. Less is better!
- You do not store, mail or FTP GIF, JPG or other data files here. Because
of our slow Internet link, each transfer slows everything else down just
a little more. Graphics can't be on your web pages here anyway.
- For programmers: Please don't bring over large software packages without
talking to staff first. Anything net related won't run once you've compiled
it anyway. We can't run MUDs, talkers, IRC bots, or other such things here,
because we just don't have the CPU or net bandwidth for them.
- Please keep file transfers and e-mail to less than 100K per day.
- ABSOLUTELY NO BOTS OR BOUNCERS ARE ALLOWED ON GREX. NO EGGDROP!!!
NO PSYBNC!!!
- Please read the Grex list of Frequently Asked Questions. You can see it
on the web at http://www.cyberspace.org/faq.html , or on Grex you can type
"faq" to see it.
Thanks, from all the staff at Grex!

What's happening here?
Hi. I'm a program running on this system. My name is "newuser", and I
am here to help you, the new user, create an account on this system.
After we finish, you will have a public login-id and a private (secret)
password that will uniquely identify yourself to the system. In future
sessions, you'll be able to use that login-id directly rather than me.
I'm going to teach you a very small amount about how to use this system
more effectively. Then I'm going to move on and ask you a couple of
questions. I'll give you a chance to correct your answers, and then I
will craft an account for you (based on your answers). After that, I'm
done, and I'll let you on the system with your new account.
Press
The first thing I'm going to teach you about is the special key control-D.
Almost anywhere on the system where you are expected to type a variable
number of lines, you'll end your input by typing control-D after the last
line. Since it's a special key, you don't press
after it. You'll be able to use control-D in just a bit, every time I
give you a chance to answer a question with more than one line.
Press
Customizing keys:
Many people like to choose their own keys for the next three functions.
I'm going to tell you some popular choices, and give you a "suggested"
default, but if you can't find them on your keyboard, feel free to pick
any of the popular choices. You shouldn't use letters, numbers, or
punctuation for any of these keys, since that can cause problems
elsewhere on the system.
Also, many computers have cursor keys, function keys, and similar keys
that won't work here, since they actually send more than one character
when you press them.
Press
The erase character allows you to remove the last character you typed.
You'll probably want to set it to whatever your "Backspace" or "<--"
key sends; if so, press that key now. Otherwise, press whatever key
you want to use to remove the last character you typed.
If you're not sure what to type here, PRESS YOUR BACKSPACE KEY.
Your current choice for the erase character is '^H'.
Please type that character, or another choice, or '?' for help: ^H
Your erase character is now set to '^H'
The kill character is used to remove the entire line of input you just
typed; sort of like the erase character, but for the whole line. To
set it to control-U, press that key now (hold down "Control" and press
"U", then release both keys). Otherwise, press whatever key you want
to use to remove the entire line of input.
If you aren't sure what to choose, press control-U.
Your current choice for the kill character is '^U'.
Please type that character, or another choice, or '?' for help: ^U
Your kill character is now set to '^U'
The interrupt character allows you to interrupt the current operation
and return to a command prompt. To set it to control-C, press that
key now. Otherwise, press whatever ket you want to use to interrupt
the current operation.
If you aren't sure what to choose, press control-C.
Your current choice for the interrupt character is '^C'.
Please type that character, or another choice, or '?' for help: ^C
Your interrupt character is now set to '^C'
Terminal identification:
There are some programs that need to know how to move the cursor around on
your screen and do various other related things. The software you're
running is probably capable of doing this in several different ways
depending on how you set it up. Since there's no one standard, you need to
tell the system which standard your computer or terminal is using.
If you're using some sort of personal computer (not necessarily an MS-DOS
PC, though), you are probably emulating an ANSI or VT100 terminal; in that
case the "vt100" terminal type is what you want.
Note that the name of your computer won't work, and neither will the name
of the software you're running, because neither one is specific enough.
There are hundreds of different communications software packages out there,
and each one usually gives you a choice of at least five or six different
terminal types. If you have a choice and know how to set it up, you probably
want to choose "VT100" and use the "vt100" or "ansi" terminal types.
Press
If you'd like Grex to try to figure out your terminal type for you,
enter "?". Grex will test your terminal type and display the result
on your screen.
If you'd like a list of all 350+ terminals in the termcap database,
enter "??". Feel free to use the interrupt key ('^C') to stop the
list midway though if you see something you like.
Finally, if you're confused by all this, just type vt100
You can change this later once you learn more.
What kind of terminal do you usually use? vt100
Terminal type is vt100
Okay, that completes the "funny key" business. Now it's time for the
question and answer part. The only answer that I need to create your
account is your name; all the other answers are optional. Of course,
all of your answers (especially some of the optional ones) will help us
find out what kind of people are using the system, so we can tailor it
more to your liking. You don't have to make any of this information
public -- I'll ask you whether or not you want your answers to be
available to the other users.
If you ever lose the password to your Grex account and need to have it
reset, the Grex staff will send your new password to the alternate e-mail
address you will be asked to enter a few questions after this one, or to
the postal mail address you enter soon after that. So it is useful to
enter this information. It will be stored in a file called ".plan" in
your Grex account. When the information changes, it's helpful if you
update your .plan file.
Just a reminder, please try to use both upper- and lower-case for text
input; it's much more readable!
Enter your FULL name? belajar
If you so desire, the following information will only be made available
to the system staff. Otherwise, it will be placed in a special file
called a .plan that other users can view when they type a certain command.
I'll ask you to make that decision after I get your answers. Don't
worry about misspellings and such; you'll have a chance to fix any
mistakes you've made after you're done entering the information.
Enter your address?
Terminate your entry with '^D' or "." on a separate line.
>bekasi
>^D
Enter your telephone number: (area)excg-number? 123456789
What other e-mail addresses can you be reached at (if any)?
Terminate your entry with '^D' or "." on a separate line.
>xxxx@yahoo.com

What is your occupation?
Terminate your entry with '^D' or "." on a separate line.
>IT staff

What kinds of computer equipment do you use?
Terminate your entry with '^D' or "." on a separate line.

The next two pieces of information are your birthdate and sex. Feel free
to enter them or not as your feelings dictate.
When were you born? Jakarta
What sex are you? Male
What other interests do you have?
Terminate your entry with '^D' or "." on a separate line.
>Swimming
>^D
How'd you find out about us?
Terminate your entry with '^D' or "." on a separate line.
>internet

Do you want this information to be hidden from other users? y
You may now pick your command interpreter, or shell. This is the
program that interprets your requests to the system and allows you
to actually do things.
The following shells are available:
bbs - the PicoSpan conferencing system
csh - the C shell
tcsh - an enhanced C shell
sh - the Bourne shell
bash - the GNU version of the Bourne shell
lynx - a fancy menu system. You can select this if you know
what terminal type you are using.
menu - a simple menu system
Unless you're an experienced Unix user, you'll probably want the "bbs",
"menu" or "lynx" shell; it will allow you to start using the system quickly
without mucking around with Unix books and such. If you're not sure
which one to choose, just hit
you can always change your mind later.
Which shell? sh
When you want to change some text you've entered while you're typing
it in, the program you use is called an editor. (Editors are similar
to word processors, which you might be familiar with.) Here on Grex
we have several different editing systems you can choose from:
pico This is a simple screen-based editor designed for
new users. If you know what kind of terminal you're
using, you can pick this.
bbs This is the traditional PicoSpan editor. If you
didn't know your terminal type, you should pick this.
joe This is another simple screen-based editor. It's
fairly new on Grex right now.
emacs This is the GNU Emacs editor. If you've never heard
of Emacs or never used it, don't pick this.
vi This is the traditional Unix "vi" editor. If you've
never heard of "vi" or never used it, don't pick this.
If you're not sure which editor to pick, just hit
will get the default of "pico".
Which editor? vi
Now, you need to pick a "login-id". This is a short (3-8 characters)
word; it can have lowercase letters and digits in it. Your login-id is
your public identifier on the system; it's what you will type at the
"login:" prompt to identify yourself to the system, as well as what
others will type when they want to send electronic mail to you. It will
also be used in numerous other situations to uniquely identify you.
Because you'll be using it so much, you should pick something that's
relatively easy to type and remember. Many people use their first name,
their initials, their first initial plus their last name, or something
along those lines. This is the name you will be known by, NOT your
password (that comes later)! A few examples:
denise Denise M. Anderson
bubbles Tom Digby
Selecting loginid for belajar
What loginid would you like? belajar
The system will now ask you to pick a secret password.
IMPORTANT:
* Write down your password and login-id somewhere safe. If you forget your
password, you won't be able to use your account anymore. A good place to
write them is on a scrap of paper you keep in your wallet or purse.
* Pick a secure password. Your password should not appear in any list of
words (this includes dictionaries, both English and foreign-language, as
well as lists of names, cities, etc.). Your password also should not be
a word that someone could discover by knowing other things about you --
for that reason, your spouse's name, your pet's name, and your license-plate
number are all bad passwords. The best passwords are made-up words, with
both upper- and lower- case, as well as punctuation and digits.
* Don't share your password with anyone -- not even your closest friends or
family members. If they want to use Grex, encourage them to get their
own account!
* Treat your password like you would a bankcard PIN. Armed with your password
and login-id, someone else can enter responses and send e-mail in your name.
If you think your password might have been compromised, change it immediately
and tell the system staff.
For security reasons, the system will never print your password as you type it.
New password?
Cm'on, you can do better than that!
New password? Reenter just to be sure?
