10/26   On a redhat 6.2 box i can't even ping 127.0.0.1 even though ifconfig
        shows that both my interfaces are up and assigned i.p addresses.
        What could be wrong?
        \_ Muhahahahaha!
        \_ D00d you're using redhat.  How 'bout some nice BSD?
        \_ Where is a 3133T GN00/L1NUX H@X0R5 when you need one?
           \_ their network stack is so fucked, they can't login to another
              to respond to your pathetic cries for help.
        \_ Please don't erase this, dammit.  RH6.2 doesn't install inetd by
           default.  You need to install that rpm to offer any services.-mogul
                \_ while this is true, it's not the problem; "ping" is not
                   a service offered out of inetd.  If you can't ping
                   127.0.0.1, your configuration is wrong, either no lo0 or
                   routing fucked.  -tom
                   \_ ipf can be used to reject ICMP on all interfaces.
                      Oh, I forgot that this was 3133T GN00/L1NUX.
                   \_ I have brought down all interfaces brought back up lo
                       routing is correct, and i've killed basically every
                       process.  I'm afraid this is a problem with the kernel.
                       time to reinstall (i feel like i'm using microsoft).
                        \_ the only possible kernel problem, unless you've
                           screwed around with it yourself, is lack of support
                           for your ethernet card.  -tom
           \_ D00D U R ! 3133T 1F U N33D TH3 R00T P@55WD F0R H15 GN00/L1NUX B0X.
        \_ What error does ping give you?  Tried ping -n?  Post ifconfig
           and route output.  Or, even better, post the IP and root password
           on motd -- I'll fix it.

1/15    What is the Debian/Ubuntu equivalent of Centos/Redhat PXE booting
        and Anaconda?
         \_ If you mean PXE+Anaconda+kickstart, the answer is PXE+FAI
         \_ Check out System Imager. I much prefer it to kickstart because
            you can get an almost exact image in minutes without a lot of
            effort and it is OS agnostic.

7/29    Is there a verbose option for shutdown in RedHat Linux? I'd really
        like to see the messages being generated without have to 'tail
        /var/log/messages' over and over.
        \_ stick this in your .bashrc
           "alias mtail="sudo tail -F --retry /var/log/messages"
           and do it in another window after you type shutdown

12/11   Apache/Linux question: I've got apache 2.0.52 on an idle redhat
        box (2.6.9-55 kernel).  Every so often one to four apache procs
        will run the cpu at 100% for any where from 15 to 90 mins, then
        drop back to normal.  USR and SYS time both increase to levels
        that the production boxes don't reach when serving traffic at
        noon.  I've checked apache and linux kernel versions, several

10/5    Anyone used Veritas on Redhat?  I've used it on Solaris where it
        worked great but not on Redhat.  How well does it work?  Can it
        dynamically extend a pre-existing volume without unmounting?  Thanks!

        \_ How can you tell that's linux?
           \_ There is a redhat linux box in the bottom corner.
              \_ Oh!  I was only looking at the screen. :-)
                 \_ Doesn't mean it is installed on anything.

7/9     Are 64-bit Linux servers popular compared to 32-bit ones?  My company
        has a server product that supports 32-bit, and we're trying to see if
        it's worth supporting 64-bit as well.  Thanks.
        \_ in my company, everything linux is 64bit except the handful of
           redhat satellite servers, because redhat's sat server product
           doesn't support running on 64bit systems (yet).  DOH!

10/6    locale question
        is en_US equivalent to POSIX and/or en_US.UTF-8?
        What does Redhat default to?  UTF-8?  en_US?  POSIX? - danh
        \_ no, POSIX is essentially C.  en_US.UTF-8 is, UTF-8.
