Dear shell account holders at warhead.org.uk,

Here is a summary of the services currently available to you.

For a start, you should all join the love user's mailing list:

http://lists.warhead.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/lovers

                            ---  LOVE  ---

1) Protocols

ftp/ssh/telnet - for access to your accounts, with your assigned username
and password

pop3/imap- to access your @warhead.org.uk email address, if you haven't put a
.forward in place to send it all to your normal email account. Use
"pop.warhead.org.uk" or "imap.warhead.org.uk" as the server name.

2) software

irc - just type "irc" to connect to irc.warhead.org.uk. Type /list to
get a list of channels. Type /join #channel to join. Type stuff. Enjoy.
ICQ - type "micq" for a command line ICQ client
rsync - rsync can be used to synchronise directories with directories on
other UNIX machines, efficiently. type "man rsync" for details.
cvs - if you don't know what this is, you don't want to know. You can
create a reprository in your home directory and access it over ssh, or
access remote/anonymous repositories on other machines from love.
pine - mail client
screen - again, if you don't know what this is, you don't want to know :-)
pgp5 - if you want to trust my machine with your private key. heheheheheh.
analog - see http://lists.warhead.org.uk/pipermail/lovers/2000-May/000001.html
wwwcount - see http://docs.warhead.org.uk/wwwcount for details; I can create
counters for you on demand. Just mail me if you want one.

3) software development

Apache/PHP3 - see www.php.net; you can create .htaccess files, too, as
documented at www.apache.org
CGIs - put executable files with the extension .cgi in public_html

Perl and Python are installed.

4) Shells

You're all set to bash by default, but zsh and plain sh are available too.
To change shells, use "chsh" (type "man chsh" for help)

5) SQL databases

If you want a mysql account, give me a shout. I have libraries installed
for accessing mysql databases from PHP3, and will set up PerlDBI/Python
drivers at some point... PostgreSQL is also available.

6) Mailing lists

I run mailman on love, and can create mailing lists with Web interfaces
at lists.warhead.org.uk; I might be able to set up mailing lists on your
virtual domains, too, but don't count on it becuase I've never done it before :-)

7) pkgsrc

/usr/pkgsrc is a tree of software packages that can be quite easily
installed. /var/db/pkg lists packages currently installed. If you want to know
what something listed in /var/db/pkg is, feel free to ask. If you see something
in pkgsrc you'd like installed, also feel free to ask.

8) Help!

Drop any questions to lovers@warhead.org.uk, the mailing list for users. If
nobody answers your query before I read it, I'll try to. If you can't access love
for some reason, plase rng me on 07974 437 842 and report it so I can whinge at
Internet Vision for breaking my network connection/power supply/computer/whatever

Also, please read the archives of lovers, which are kept at:

http://lists.warhead.org.uk/pipermail/lovers

There may be an answer to your question already lurking there...

9) Warhead.org.uk logo

If you're feeling in a good mood, you could put my logo on your web page and make
me feel all proud and gooey inside. The magic HTML to add,
as proudly demonstrated on www.rfc.net, is:
