Hello all. I have a Compaq PIII 500, 128 MB RAM, running win98 se. The box "locks up" 4 to 5 times per day, requiring a hard boot. I am a UNIX consultant, so my pat answer if I were a client would be - unstable OS, buy a UNIX box. You guys have any ideas? TIA

Have you looked at syslog and other error logs to see what might be happening? Have you tried to run the top command at various times to monitor system resources and maybe compare low system resources to running processes?

I'm looking for a vpn client set up for a Mandrake Linux box. I have downloaded the vpnd rpm, but I really can't find any documentation for setting it up? Has anyone done this? Any advice? TIA

Thanks for the quick response Steve. I'm trying to set up an ignite server right now, and of course, having problems. I'm having to restart creation of a client archive and it won't let me restart until I kill make_sys_image on the client - but I don't see anything like that running on the...

Can you see the tape drive in your OS? Try any of the mt commands like mt -t /dev/rmt0 rew or even try to tar something to the tape drive.

Does anyone out there use the Ignite server option to store images of systems to clone? What I'm wondering is how this compares to a "Golden Image" tape? Can software and patches be included in the images on the Ignite server? TIA

The latest test available is Solaris 8. There are two tests for complete Solaris cert, Sys admin I and II. Check out the Sun website: http://suned.sun.com/HQ/certification/ Also, any books dealing with Solaris admin should help you. Sun does sell CBTs for their certification tracks as well...

I used the IBM redbook referenced in the previous post and passed the AIX test very easily. As far as HP is concerned, the test was much harder than AIX, but there is still a fair amount of info out there on it. Check out the HP web site.

When you did the ftp transfer you did use the bi or binary option right?

Thanks Terry. Sounds like I'll have to wait for my dba to get back and create that account for me. Thanks again.

I have an Oracle 8.0.5 db running on an HP-UX 11 platform. I have two instances running. I am trying to create another instance in the same database using an HP Network Node Manager creation script. The script must be run as root. The script is never successful and one error message is that...

Is w2k or linux already installed? If w2k is already installed, find a disk partition utility (Partition Magic, etc) and resize the partitions on your hard drive to leave either a dos partition or free space (at least 1 GB). Then get a Linux distro and follow the install instructions. There...

That should work. Maybe you should try to create a boot floppy and try that way.

cat your /etc/inetd and make sure that the ftp line is not commented out.
