Hello Guys and Gals,

I was reading in a book about the diff. installation packs. For example you
get 

bla.vers.i386.rpm
bla.vers.i586.rpm
bla.vers.i686.rpm

Now, when I look at my system's startup message I found the following...

raid5: measuring checksumming speed
raid5: MMX detected, trying high-speed MMX checksum routines
pII_mmx:  1779.651 MB/sec
p5_mmx:  1869.186 MB/sec
8regs:  1373.886 MB/sec
32regs:   770.001 MB/sec
using fastest function: p5_mmx (1869.186 MB/sec)

Now I see that this has raid5 in front of it...but yet it picks the p5 (or
i586 as I can guess) code. All my rpm's I have installed are .i386. When I
run uname -m it reports a i686, although these machines are p3...

Will up2date "upgrade" to the right processor ? Did I in fact slow do my
server by installing 386 code ?

Another thing that I noted is this message...

device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
<snip>
device eth0 left promiscuous mode

Does this mean a hacker has been around, or is it simply me running the
tcpdump command ?

theww, what a mouth full :)

Thanks,

Pieter
