If you're running Solaris on it, check out the eeprom setting: # eeprom 'auto-boot?' If it returns 0, then turn it on to 1 using the eeprom command (see manual page, I can't remember how it works). Of course, if it's still sitting at the prom, you can do: ok printenv auto-boot? ok setenv auto-boot? 1 I hope that you have a serial console connection which will let you do this! -Dom

I hope that you have a serial console connection which will let you do this! Yeah, like we'd be using Mailbox if we could afford a terminal server. :-O Tnx for the info tho' I can never rember stuff like that. -Dom -- Jonathan Peterson Technical Manager, Unified Ltd, 020 7383 6092 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The kind that no-one sells cables for (well, no-one on Tottenham Court Rd) so you have to make you own? It's all coming back to me now.

Mailbox power ..
umm ... so .. anyone else with a server at Mailbox (ISTR there were a few) this mornings powerdown @ 06:00 .. what time did yours come back up and has it gone up and down again since then .. mines been down twice :( -- Robin Szemeti The box said requires windows 95 or better So I installed Linux!

Mailbox!
well I did a bit better .. i think
Apr 28 08:23:17 restart.
Apr 28 09:44:45 restart.
Apr 28 11:26:23 restart.
apparenlty it should now be stable.
so yes, non-ideal ... but .. its still bloody good value. :)
any named experts out there? ... any ideas why named complains it cant
find hints for rootserver even though I have (I thought) set up as forward
only ...
my . zone looks like:
zone . in {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { x.x.x.x; y.y.y.y; };
};
yet there is much muttering and grumbling in /var/log/messages about lack
of hints ... I thought the absence of a 'type cache' would prevent that
.. apparently not ( its bind 9.1 btw )
