SMB loop

I have Samba running on two machines. I smbmount'ed //host1/myself to host2:/home/myself/m/host1 and //host2/myself to host1:/home/myself/m/host2 Then I realized that this causes a loop. Now I cannot smbumount these shares anymore, yet not even kill -9 the smbd! Is there no other solution than to

Re: Another Crazy DNS Question... ;-)

yeah that would work fine, point 1 domain at 1 ip, or point a million domains at 1 ip ..its all the same ..now if your doing it for web hosting, e.g. http://www.aphroland.org and http://yahoo.aphroland.org and http://comedy.aphroland.org are all the same ip (208.222.179.35) however they are all

Re: set coredumpsize in bash?

i use ulimit to do the job. i believe the command is ulimit -c ..it would apply to all shells .. (man ulimit or man builtins or man bash it may be in any/all of those man pages) my defaults for ulimit: core file size (blocks) 0 data seg size (kbytes) unlimited file size (blocks)

Re: newbie curious

Re: Why use Enlightenment?

i agree ..it looks great..if your willing to sacrafice the speed..for some its worth it ..its always nice to have the choice. i for use chose afterstep, and it flies. kde is a DOG compared to it..i havent tried E for a couple years back then it was pretty slow ..but was useable..never figured out
