Hi,
I've been given a rather nice rackmount server (a Sun T2000) which is
just a bit too noisy for the spare room. Does anyone know of a friendly
local datacentre or rackspace provider that would allow me to host it
there for something approaching peanuts per month? It's either that or
it goes

yep.. not exactly a 10 minute drive if I need to stick a dvd in the slot.

I'm not sure I understand DisplayPort well enough to answer this. What's

I'd guess you've maybe got two dhcp servers running - check your config
on the linksys and draytec units. Maybe one is serving out the
192.168.2.x network without you realising. You could try snooping your

If you're referring to the language known as "D" used with Solaris'

You can use usb key also.
Tuning maxusers on Solaris is a bad idea, not sure about Linux. It's an ancient
tunable whose meaning has long since ceased to control the max number of
interactive users and it serves more as a master control knob for sizing the
whole system. The impact of fiddling with it is potentially large.
Tuning the maxusers as a means of increasing the available inodes was
taught by Sun in their 2.x Network Admin course and was included in the
NFS Server Performance and Tuning guide. So as a recommended method, I
regard it as having been safe, useful and effective.
Tuning maxusers is a very ol

Did you check the permissions of the /home?
Don't forget that the permissions for the /home mountpoint directory in the
root filesystem will be overlaid with the permissions for "." in the root of
the filesystem that you mount on /home. So, mount the filesystem in question,
and chmod that.
