waveclaw's Journal: Late nite with the bugz

Well...after roaming through the new DejaNews and rsync.samba.org FAQ's I finally figured out that if you back things up off a Window$ Machine, don't send it to a Linux server first. Simply put, rsync -e ssh linux_server windows_client is okay, but due to permission mismatches and a known rsync bug (there is a patch, but it'd mean replacing my native win32 build of rsync with a cygwin version) never try rsync -e ssh windows_client linux_server without a good deal of patience and time on your hands.

Futhermore, I love watching my (RH 8.0+patches) webserver play DHCP musical-chairs with my WAP. Almost makes me pine for the days of static routing, but that would be a Bag Thing with the transient topology of my SOHO LAN.

Oh, yeah - my apartment is now short two more crickets[1]. Maybe I will go to sleep tonight after all.

Gotta remember to go to NTLUG meeting in Dallas tomorrow morning. Should be a fun drive. Can't cost too much more than the 500 count of custom stationary I ordered from Staples today.
I sleepy now...
