2/7     Old *INCREDIBLY* boring rice warmer and stereo stand threads purged.
        If that's the only kind of shit that passes motd censorship we might as
        well go back to uname -a > /etc/motd and forget about it.  It's like
        logging in to a Mormon computer system.
        \_ Can I have anal sex with you?

        < FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (MKVII) #0: Fri Dec 17 17:40:05 UTC 2004
        ---
        > FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (SODA-MINIMAL) #0: Fri Dec 17 17:40:05 UTC 2004
        Although uname says we're still on soda-minimal.
        \_ I think there was a power failure.  Blame god.

2/23    Why the kernel change on soda?
        \_ to monitor domestic /etc/motd.public editting. This is done
           preemptively and justifiably to prevent motd terrorism.
        \_ more importantly who did it and is there going to be an
           announcement?
           \_ What change?  Clue me on the change.  uname -a says:

4/15    I'm compiling something standard and it fails. Upon Googling, the
        sol'n is to use "setarch i386" on my Pentium M730 processor, and
        everything works fine. Out of curiousity, I dumped my environment
        variable under "setarch i386" and outside and they're almost
        identical. Furthermore, uname reports the EXACT same thing. I'm
        baffled now. What does setarch do?

3/1     Does anyone know how to tell if an opteron system is running a 32
        bit linux kernel or a 64 bit linux kernel in RH 3.0 EL? tia.
        \_ Guessing: check the bootup logs?  uname?
           \_ it seems to print out x86_64 regardless of the kernel.

11/8    What does the #0 in "FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0" from uname -a mean?
        \_ Less than #1 and more than #-1.
                \_ also, less than #.5 and more than #-.5
        \_ Kernel build number.  Build it again and it'll be #1. -geordan

12/11   is there a way to 'uname' from a distance? ie is there some way to
        'uname' a machine that i'm not logged into?
        \_ Try "nslookup -query=hinfo hostname", but I think only some machines
           conform to this.  --- yuen
           \_ some sites give out incorrect info to confound '1337 H4X0R5!
              so don't trust hinfo records.

10/24   alumni.eecs is down again. Could someonw with root powers check it
        out? thanks!
        \_ mail root@alumni.eecs.  heh.
           \_ tried that before. no one checks root email there.
                \_ I was joking.

9/25    Can yermom be run from soda?
        \_ Nope, it takes up too much RAM and cycles, and you'd have
           to send the $DISPLAY somewhere else anyway so it'd be a
           waste of net as well. Run yermom on your local wkstn.
           \_ Run top on po, torus, or cory.  You'll see idiotic 61
              students logging in from a PPro workstation running
