Not sure if you want to pay or not but Aventail has a beta UNIX client that
I downloaded the other day from an internal IBM site. Haven't managed to
spend any time on it yet but planning on it in the near future.

Need some network guidance. I'm not an expert so feel free to throw the information
at me.
I just got a cable modem (the older type that dials) and after some fiddling I
managed to get it to dial and connect for me. There are two oddities however. When
the box boots eth0 takes forever to come up.
If you run setup as root isn't there an option to disable kudzu there?

A couple of things off the top of my head:
After you get connected, ping your DNS nameservers to see if you can get to
them. Ping them by ip address. If you can ping them, do you have those
addresses in your /etc/resolv.conf?
Do a traceroute to see your path to the nameservers.
Are you running
Try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
@info = `ifconfig`;
foreach $line(@info){
if ($line =~ /inet addr/){
$line =~ s/(.*)(:)(.*)(\ )(.*)(:)(.*)/\3/;
print $line;
}
}
I'm sure you could do some grep stuff on this as well:

Typically most unix OS's do some smart file caching so that access is even
quicker. Some unix systems use other caching techniques such as translation
lookaside buffers, i.e. TLB's. Don't think RedHat does though.
It is normal for memory to look used in this fashion. If you ever have an

Hi Bryan,
As I recall, sendmail -f will allow you to do this. You may need to be a

the -f flag.

No question, recompile your kernel. The added performance gains are well
worth it. I have always found that the stock kernels were resource hogs
(especially from a memory standpoint) and the gains I saw were huge. Do a

RedHat is a great starting point for learning UNIX in general. I work with
AIX every day and I wouldn't want to say that knowing Linux will make you a
great AIX admin but it will give you the basic UNIX skills you'll need.

My $.02 worth here. I've been using RedHat since the 4.x days. One thing
that I have noticed is the consistent "bugginess" of the X.0 releases. I
found 4.0 a little buggy, 4.1 better and 4.2 stable as hell. Same thing
with 5.0-5.1-5.2 and 6.0-6.1-6.2. When 7.0 came out I wasn't even going to

No question this is the best way to do it. Additionally, I would put my
