Steve is the one that needs to look at this. I do not know what to do to
cure this. I suspect the database needs attention in addition to the
updates of data that is missed during the outage. I did verify the time
stamp on the system. I have email Steve and he will get to it when he has
the chance. I noticed the time since last update on my station after findu2
came backup.

But Andrew,
Linux is a very good platform for APRS - check out http://www.xastir.org

This is the second kernel panic on this machine. I have no idea why this is
happening, it does not happen on any of the other machines I've run findU
on. This machine is running some intrusion detection software I am not
familiar with, AFAIK that is the only thing this machine does differently,
and I can't see how this could be the problem.
It seems we were lucky, this crash did not corrupt the database. However,
just like all the other times this machine rebooted, the clock got reset to
central time, rather than GMT. I suspect this is a remnant of some
miscommunication we had when setting up the box, findU needs a system clock
set to GMT.
Guy, any time the system reboots, be sure to check that the clock is set to
GMT.
I've switched www to point to the primry server for the time being...

That shouldn't be a problem. You don't need to use DNS for that if you
have them identified in /etc/hosts. Setting up a DNS that can talk to
the outside world is a bit more complicated than just having the A and
MX entries and requires BIND. I have my own domain, but it's easier to
let the outfit that did my registration handle the DNS stuff. They
also do the MX stuff and forward mail to my ISP.

Got it
print (sprintf("%-13s",$andy[0])." ".$andy[1]."\n");
The examples on the multiple sites didn't explain that a %-13s equates
to string 13 chars wide text left align.
cheers hope this can help somebody else.

Once you get fetchmail running and automated with cron jobs, you can
install procmail to put your messages in selected folders. This is really
nice when you follow several news groups.

Join one the "xastir" mailing list and ask such questions there.
You'll get more responses from knowledgeable Xastir users there.
1) What's the "latest" Xastir that you're running? One of the
development snapshots, or CVS?
2) You have igate->RF checked in the Properties tab for each TNC
interface right?
3) The global option in Configure->Defaults is set for igating right?
That one will turn all igating off, no matter the settings for the
individual interfaces.
4) What do you expect to be igated? It'll only igate messages that
are intended for people who have been heard on RF recently, or NWS
weather alerts if you've enabled that option (unlikely due to where
you live). It won't igate posits or any other types of info, just
messages, and only if the destination callsign has been heard within
the last hour on RF.
