So, Cavepainting's acting up? What's going on?

If you really can't fix the problem on your own, you might try emailing the CCV helpdesk. You could also call John Huffman, the CCV Cave guru, whose phone number is written on the whiteboard in the Cave. If it's after hours and you're really desperate for help, you can call Jadrian at (919) 593-8094.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • The definition of $G is different on different machines, and may refer to very different directories on different servers. Note especially that the CCV $G, which is what wallconsole and serial see, has different contents than the CS $G, which cs-nodes sees. This shouldn't be the case, of course, but $G's far from perfect.
