Cameron, I think there's a trivial glitch in bucktooth-0.1pr6's "configure.xinetd" file:

[tecnico@kanthaka bucktooth-0.1pr6]$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i386-linux-thread-multi [...]

[tecnico@kanthaka bucktooth-0.1pr6]$ perl configure.xinetd Unmatched right curly bracket at configure.xinetd line 171, at end of line syntax error at configure.xinetd line 171, near "}" Execution of configure.xinetd aborted due to compilation errors.

[tecnico@kanthaka bucktooth-0.1pr6]$ sed -n 167,173p configure.xinetd EOF } else { print "none found.\nWhew! (BUT MAKE SURE NOTHING'S ON THE SAME PORT!)\n\n"; } }

$j = &prompt(<<"EOF", "") unless (!$DO_INSTALL);

In fact, I could count twelve "}" characters and eleven "{" characters in the file. I then deleted one of the "}" lines under the "PORT!)\n\n";" line, and could configure bucktooth server just fine:

[tecnico@kanthaka bucktooth-0.1pr6]$ diff -U 1 configure.xinetd* --- configure.xinetd 2005-10-14 17:00:49.000000000 +0200 +++ configure.xinetd.orig 2005-10-14 17:00:44.000000000 +0200 @@ -170,2 +170,3 @@ } +}

[tecnico@kanthaka bucktooth-0.1pr6]$ perl configure.xinetd Configure (xinetd) for Bucktooth/0.1PR6 (C)1998-2005 Cameron Kaiser

This is the configure script for xinetd systems. Congratulations, you're one of the really groovy people. Rob Braun is doing some hot stuff with it. [...]

All right, I'm know I'm one of the groovy people. About the bout of nostalgia, is there a gopher archive like web.archive.org for the web? Can one get today the documents the former UMN master gopher served in its heydays?
