    Settle an argument

    VinceWhirlwind, The objection (which I disagree with) is that the subnet bits should *only* be written out when writing the number of a network, not a host.

    Settle an argument

    I'm trying to get some networking professionals to weigh in on this question, hence my choice of forums. Given a host with an IP of 200.200.200.150, and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128, is the following considered an acceptable way to write the address in CIDR notation: 200.200.200.150/25...

    11g 64-bit memory honesty

    An Oracle DBA at our office is telling me that "11g 64-bit on Linux will not run with less than 8GB of RAM". I am a Sysadmin, not a DBA, so I don't have the technical expertise to know if this is true, but it seems like a drastic oversimplification. I would imagine that a large enough DB, with...

    RPM installation message: "error: can't create transaction lock on /"

    This may not be any help, but whenever I have gotten that error, it's been because I was not root. Did you log in as root, or su to it? If you did su, did you also run the root profile with: su - good luck

    TCP error 9407: "seqGrabInfoNotAvailable" ????

    I'm getting a tcp error when attempting to connect to a windows 2000 server on the network. The error number is 9407. A search on the net shows that as being a "seqGrabInfoNotAvailable" error. I can't seem to find any more info than that. Can anyone tell me what it means, or point me...

    System freezes w/ any run level above 1...

    Hi guys and gals. I have an Openserver system that will boot into single-user mode fine. When I do an init 2, (or any other init besides 1), the system freezes. At that point I get nothing but a blinking cursor. Some possibilities I was considering were: 1) a corrupt non-root filesystem 2) a...

    Hello all. I've got a new win2k ma

    Hello all. I've got a new win2k machine with an old Fujitsu dot matrix attached to it. When I print documents several pages in length, the machine slows to a crawl for about 20 seconds. The printer supports a few different emulations, so I've tried three or so. I've also switched from spooled...

    I have an old Compaq Proliant serve

    I have an old Compaq Proliant server running SCO Openserver that will not boot. It apparently crashed overnight. When I boot, it tells me there is a dump in the /swap. I tell it not to save the image, and to proceed with checking the root file system. At this point, I get a panic, it dumps a...

    services.exe using 99% cpu = slowwww pc.

    bcastner, I can't even get that far. After logging in (which takes quite a while), I just get the wallpaper screen. I've waited 20 or 30 minutes, but nothing else comes up. I can bring up the task manager - and it shows 100% cpu usage. But that's all I can do.

    services.exe using 99% cpu = slowwww pc.

    I have a win 2k pro machine (sp3) that boots really slowly - the wall paper comes up, but I have yet to wait long enough for the taskbar or anything else to come up (and I've waited 30 minutes or more). But, I can still bring up task mgr. with ctrl-alt-del. I shows 100% cpu use, 99% of that is...

    Funky keystroke responses.

    Well, I tried replacing /etc/termcap, but it didn't change a thing. But I just found something else of possible interest. I found this in /tmp/tclerror.656.log: Uncaught error in Tcl program: scoadmin: (vTcl interp) Failed reading Receive Msg length -...

    VtInfo -charm returning bogus result?

    Hello. I'm getting a funny response from a Visual TCL program called scoadmin on a SCO Openserver 5.0.4 system. When I hit keys, I get no response from the program until I hit enter. When I hit enter, all my previous key strokes are executed. I found this is /tmp/tclerror.656.log: Uncaught...

    Funky keystroke responses.

    Yes. I've got tty1a set to ansi emulation. I'm not sure what you mean by attachment.

    Funky keystroke responses.

    Hello. I am dialing in over a modem to a fully patched openserver 5.0.4 system in order to register the enterprise license (had to re-register b/c machine name changed). When I go into scoadmin something funny starts happening: no keystroke gets a response until I hit enter. Then all...
