11/22   I have both fddi0 and hme0 interfaces on my Solaris box. The orig
        config was hme0 but I changed /etc/hosts, defaultrouter, and others
        to use the fddi0 subnet. Then when I finally did:
        % ifconfig fddi0 <my_ip> <etc etc>
        It says: "SIOCSIFMTU: fddi0: no such interface. What's up?
        \- did you plumb the interface?
         \_ reboot!  boot -r !
                \_ plumbed it and now it works, THANKS! There should be a
                   page with all the command line differences between Linux
                   and Solaris, making the hetereogenous *NIX environment
                   more manageable for us admins
                           \_ Try:

                      http://www.stokely.com/unix.sysadm.resources/index.html

                        \- a poor workman blames his tools. it's one thing if
                           some predecessor added some non-obvious thing to
                           the kernel [like when someone commented out all the
                           graphics drivers for soda mark ??? and didnt leave
                           any notes about it] but i think this is exected
                           knowledge of any junior level solaris sysadmin.
                           anyway, you're welcome. --psb
                           \_ so do you know which interface types can be
                              plumbed and which cannot? Don't get all hoity
                              toity cause you know something he doesn't.
                   \_ you admins are supposed to know the difference..
                      thats part of what makes you a sysadmin.  do you
                      want a page with differences between every unix
                      and every other unix out there?  -shac
                        \_ Real admins don't post that sort of whine to the
                           motd or even think like that.  Real admins know
                           how to use the man pages and find what they need
                           to know as issues arise.  Real admins don't see a
                           substantial difference between *nixes.  Please
                           don't lump that person in with the rest of us.
                             \- not seeing a "real difference" between how sysV
                            and BSD do say networking is just being blind --psb
                                \_ It's pretty much the same.  man ifconfig.
                                   \- "networking" != "ifconfig" ... for
                                   example what kind of processing/filtering
                                   you can do in the kernel vs. have to haul
                                   up to userland is vastly different. --psb
                                   \_ This is all true and you're right about
                                      everything you're saying but it doesn't
                                      apply to this person whining that every
                                      version of unix out there isn't exactly
                                      like his favorite Linux distro and no
                                      one bothered to make a convenient
                                      flag conversion chart for him.

2/5     I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
        with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
        browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
        fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
        between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
        correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

11/29   I'm experimenting with virtualization, and as a poor college student
        I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
        how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
        guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
        FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
        somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

        \- back in the solaris say 2.5-2.6 era, it had both some bugs
           (some malformed nis maps made it go crazy) and architectural
           flaws in the IPC/door+threading mechanism. if you are running
           OS-recent, dunno, but you can trace it.

3/30    Question: I just deleted 60 GB of files from an 80 GB disk. The
        disk activity lights were blinking like crazy and I could hear the
        drive crunch while the data was deleted. This is under Solaris.
        Anyway, I think UNIX uses unlink() when files are deleted. Shouldn't
        it just update the free list on the superblock and call it a day?
        What is all the crunching about?

11/27   I'm using select to do a nonblocking check to see if a single socket
        has anything to read off it.  Problem is, I can have up to 12228
        file descriptors, and Linux fd_set only supports up to 4096.  Any idea
        what I can do about this?  (Or a better solution?) -jrleek
