I was driving back from frostbug, MD to baltimore and searched for a decent radio station. I found a classic rock station. Not a station like we have in california that plays the same 100 songs by the same artists.
The next song turned out to be a song I have not heard in a while. “One of These Days” by Pink Floyd. An awesome song! Then they played other classic rocks and then more obscure great rock songs!
Who needs Cleveland when you have stations like this!
Digging through my old email archives I found this:
Ok, I learned something really cool today from Sun.
How can you tell if a process is chroot’d or not? ps gives you no clue, nor does the kmem.
Here is a neat trick to figure this out. You have to love those kernal hackers!!!
% ps -aef | egrep nscd
root 1022    1 0 09:21:20 ?       0:00 /bb/bin/nscd
% crash -d /dev/mem -n /dev/ksyms
dumpfile = /dev/mem, namelist = /dev/ksyms, outfile = stdout
> p #1022
PROC TABLE SIZE = 30000
SLOT STÂ PIDÂ PPIDÂ PGIDÂ Â SIDÂ Â UID PRIÂ Â NAMEÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â FLAGS
47 s 1022    1 1022 1022    0 50 nscd          load
> user 47
PER PROCESS USER AREA FOR PROCESS 47
PROCESS MISC:
command: nscd, psargs: /bb/bin/nscd
start: Thu Oct 24 09:21:20 2002
mem: 1fd, type: fork
vnode of current directory: 300041d98e8, vnode of root directory: 300041d98e8,
[rest of output deleted]
Run crash, then “p #pid”, then “user SLOT”
The fact that it lists “vnode of root directory” means it is chroot’d.
pretty cool 😉
For those of you wanting to know how to use ARD through a firewall or NAT bridge:
If you wish to use the Remote Desktop application from behind a NAT router, you will need to set UDP port forwarding for port #3283 to your administration computer. If you wish to access a client computer that is behind a NAT router, you will need to set the router to forward UDP port #3283 to the client computer you wish to access. Note: You will be able to access only that client computer.
Doing my 40 mile bike ride today, I ran into the following drivers who may be elligible for the darwin awards real soon.
1) Driver with food in one hand and a cell phone in the other (25 mph). She didn’t see any of the cyclests around her and almost wipe out one of them.
2) Driver who thinks a Yield sign means I am bigger than you so I won’t stop. I pointed to the yeild sign and explained he needed to yeid. I got the double bird and an explitive. I hope he exits the gene pool real soon.
3) Group riders that think they can ride 5 abreast on a two way bike path. Where the F*CK do you think I am going to go you selfish idiot?
Ok, those that know me, know that I take forever to make technology purchasing decisions. In my job, I have no problem saying, “This is what we need to buy” and just do it. In my personal life I agonize over buying everything. I hate make decisions on technology because it changes so quickly and I feel like if I just wait I can get a better deal or better tech.
I have been waiting about two years to decide on getting an SLR digital camera. I have watched my friends buy and sell them over the last few years but still wanted to wait.
Last night I decided to finally jump into the pool and purchased the Canon Xsi
It should take about a week to arrive, which is good since I will be on business travel until next Saturday. I look forward to it arriving when I get back.
