11/22   Is there a native process in Unix (SunOS 5.7) that logs port traffic?
        Barring that, do you know of any good software that would do the trick?
        SdTFW for "logging port traffic unix" but not finding what I'm looking
        for. TIA. --erikred

6/23    Stoopid Tech Q: Is there a version of CDE for SunOS 5.7?
        \_ Updated Q: how the hell do I get the CDE running from the
           command line?
           \_ /usr/dt/bin/dtsession?
              \_ got it, thanks.
              \_ turns out /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon does the trick.

6/15    Attempting to sftp to http://csua.berkeley.edu. Got password from key.
        Entered password and got back:
        Received message too long 1701996907
        Wtf?
        \_ password from key.  since sftp uses ssh, shouldn't you just
           use your normal password?

3/9     After I start an xterm in SunOS 5 and Linux, is there any command to
        change the title of the xterm window?  Thanks.
        \_ Check ~geordan/bin/retitle
           \_ That 2 should probably be a 0 -- that way the new title stays
              even when the window is minimized (or whatever the standard
              X term for that is). -alexf

2/23    Trying to load tcsh on a SunOS 5.7 machine, getting C compiling
        errors. Resources? Suggestions? STFW returns nothing useful.
        \_ what errors?
        \_ Trying to load it or compile it? If you are just trying to load
           it, get it from sunfreeware and pkgadd it.

12/1    open source sadness, SUN being destroyed by linux..
        \_ More like Sun stupidity by refusing to either
           A) Make Solaris x86 free until it was too late.
           B) Give up on the stupid "java thin client" crap
           C) Open Source Solaris and let people actually write
              drivers for 3rd party peripherals.

5/8     On the linux ls discussion from the other day, this is my take:
        Using/learning linux specific flags is all fine and good, and
        adding new features to old tools is too, but when I have to
        switch between 5 different OSes in a given day, it's simply a
        waste of my time.  There are many ways to solve a given problem.
        Linux's solution always seems to be "add another flag".  If you're

3/8     Are there any commands on soda equivalent to prtinfo/psrinfo/isainfo
        on SunOS 5?  Thanks.
        \_ The correct term is "Solaris", not "SunOS 5".
        \_ whats sunos5?
           \_ SunOS foo 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc
              \_ That'd be Solaris 7.

10/1    I'm on solaris and trying to increase the number of open file descriptors
        my processes can have. I've used limit and ulimit under zsh and bash,
        respectively, to set these to say, 400. limit and ulimit -a apparently
        confirm these changes. But when I write a program to test this out,
        it still fails after the default of 256 open files. Any idea what I
        might be doing wrong? Thanks.

9/11    On SunOS 5, how do I use the -k option in "sort" to specify multiple
        sort fields?  I tried "-k start1,stop1 -kstart2,stop2",
        "-k start1,stop1+start2,stop2" and "-k start1,stop1 start2,stop2" but
        none works.  The man page doesn't descript this.  Thanks.
        \_ I never got -k working sanely.  I use the +n format just fine.  I
           use perl if I get desperate.

8/1     Bugtraq reports that openssh-3.4p1 was trojanned on http://ftp.openbsd.org,
