well, I should thank you for the console init howto you submitted a while back which helped me alot. It was very clear and coherent, and helped me in my later scripting/ automation efforts. there were a few funny replies where someone tried to do a comparative analysis of console servers vs. screen switches -but your response, and Rodrigo Barbosa's, both helped me in a pinch. As for the stuck-up attitudes you tend to run across, just blow it off. For every person they discourage, I help three. The one chap just communicates that way. Genotype x43a wouldn't have it any other way. -karl > On Fri, 2006-08-04 at 01:36 +0100, Karanbir Singh wrote: >> pctech at mybellybutton.com wrote: >> > For those of you that either have an older revision of my firewall >> document, or are otherwise keeping track of it, there is a new version >> available.
