I feel dirty

July 19, 2006

I’ve just installed a bunch of RPM packages that were built on CentOS
and targetting Redhat-like linux distributions onto a Solaris server.
Even scarier, it worked.

I feel dirty.

Killall sshd considered stupid

July 19, 2006

I was using our Fedora 3 server and decided to restart sshd running in a
chroot:

[root@winky /]# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Stopping sshd:/etc/init.d/sshd: line 212: kill: (1483) - No such process
Connection to winky closed by remote host.
Connection to winky closed.
mimsy david% ssh winky -l root
ssh: connect to host winky port 22: Connection refused

Thank you very much Fedora.
