Hello, As you can see from my signature in this message, I use the R fortune function to generate a fortune, which is then fed to the signature program, which constructs a named pipe containing the fortune-bearing sig, which is then included in mail messages. The problem is that it's got extraneous junk in it and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. This is the...

Have you installed the fortunes package? From within R you can go install.packages("fortunes") If you have already installed it then there is something deeper going on.

...enough already. I think such a tool will be still useful (even if not turned on by default), so one can turn it on when thinks it's needed: - on production machines, - on first start of rc.d/sshd (when you host keys are generated), - when you need to check if PRNG is the thing which makes your fortune not to work properly (or instrument the user how to do it easly). etc. We (FreeBSD) did a lot of work to have really good PRNG, so its sucks when it just doesn't work.

...is might have been discussed before, but below is a "not-so-unlikely" use case where the user follows normal procedures, updates R to a major release version, and then R crashes: 1. Use runs R stable (e.g. v2.13.0). 2. User installs a package with a namespace, e.g. install.packages("fortunes"). 3. User uses the package and one of the package's objects are assigned to the global env, e.g. foo <- fortune. 4. The user quits R and stores the session data, e.g. q("yes"). The session is stored in users home directory. 5. User update to new major release of R (e.g. 2.1...

I vote to 'fortunize' Doug Bates on Hierarchical data sets: which software to use? "The widespread use of spreadsheets or SPSS data sets or SAS data sets which encourage the "single table with a gargantuan number of columns, most of which are missing data in most cases" approach to organization of longitudinal data is regrettable."
