Who turned out the lights?
We had one of our racks at the hosting facility lose power last night. I had thought everything was setup so that we had redundant power supplies and this would not be a problem, apparently that was not the case. Do to our switchover from some old hardware to new hardware the rack that went […]
basic ssh proxy
So here’s the problem I connect from home which puts me into the network on subnet A which let’s me talk to subnet B. Subnet B can talk to production servers on subnet C but connections from subnet A cannot go directly to subnet C. Well this puts me in a pickle as I really […]

Previously I’d just went in and edited ~/.ssh/known_hosts file (under various Redhat flavors) and removed the offending host by searching for it’s name. At that […]
The first three
So let’s see now I’ve been a linux user for the better part of six years now. I know that doesn’t put my anywhere near the top in those pissing contest of “I’ve been using linux since..”, but it does mean I’ve got enough familiarity with it that I can at least point out a […]
