Erm, somthing went badly wrong last time I sent this, and a null message got
out.  No idea how, sorry.

Omnigrot requires pcnfsd to be running on the server to provide all its
authentication.  This is normal.  Type 'rpc.pcnfsd' at a root prompt.  If
you're wanting to access as root, you'll need to edit /etc/pcnfsd.conf to
allow pcnfsd to authenticate users with UIDs < 100 (IIRC); consult the man
page or email me for more information.

Needless to say, my NFS client for Risc OS doesn't enforce this sort of
things ;-)

[misc. other bits snipped as I'm not really in a position to answer them,
although a pint'd be handy... ;-]

I've now managed to find my .signature file, normal service
will be resumed when Connex South Central get their act together.
We apologise for the inconvenience in the mean time.
