Introduction
Welcome to the Fyshy Wiki. The initial intent of this Wiki is to document the various services available on the Fysh.Org servers.
Servers
There is one principal server for Fysh.Org services at this time, bowl.fysh.org. Amongst other things it provides email, web hosting and shell accounts to all its users. There are also a few other machines that various Fysh use to provide peripheral services, such as ssh.fysh.org.
Notification of Service Changes
If you wish to know about any changes to Fysh.Org services, which may include scheduled outages, you should be subscribed to the Fysh-Announce maillist. We will automatically subscribe any new accounts to this list. Subscriptions require confirmation from the given email address as well as our approval. Anyone may subscribe, but if we don't recognise the email address as being that of one of our users we may check who it is first, or just deny it, so it's best to also email the Fyshy Postmaster so we know who you are.
By default when you login to a bowl.fysh.org shell account you will be shown any new announcements since your last login. If you wish to disable this simply issue this command at a shell prompt on bowl.fysh.org:
touch $HOME/.no_announce
and to enable it once more if needed:
rm $HOME/.no_announce
Note that the file $HOME/.last_announce is used to keep track of when you were last shown new announces. Removing this will cause you to be shown every existing announcement on next login! Which announces to show you are determined by comparing the 'last update' timestamp on this file against the timestamp on the files holding the announces. So if you change that timestamp on $HOME/.last_announce you may see more, or less, announces than you should.
Discussion of Fysh.Org Services
If you wish to generally discuss Fysh.Org services you may use the Fysh-Discussion maillist, but note we do not automatically subscribe anyone to this which means you may have to subscribe yourself first and may find that not many people are reading the list itself.
Alternatively any queries about the Services may be directed to the Fyshy Admin or you may edit Fyshy Suggestions here on this wiki.
