Re: Being a shell provider - good business?
actually i agree here, running a shell server for 10 USD a head per month, is a good idea especially for your freinds who need to learn, just do the math, 100 users at 10 USD a month and guess what your making money, though its the getting users to use and abide by good usage policies is the other trick it is a great tool for universities to teach students with also On Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 8:37 PM, Subhro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Honestly speaking, I would say its easy money. > > Thanks > Subhro > > > > On 9/14/08, Art Vandelay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 9:34 AM, Art Vandelay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > >> Hello.

Re: LDAP Support
Have you considered there might be a problem with the hardware and not the OS. maybe memory has become faulty. Ive got 62 FreeBSD 5.4 Servers running and they dont crash. Maybe you are using a piece of incompatible hardward, or something may have started to show signs of becoming faulty. Before you decide to rip out the OS and have potentially the same problem with OpenBSD or NetBSD, be sure its not something other then the OS. If you need some help in maybe trouble shooting the issue, feel free to post the points here.
