Re: First desk troll job
Then there were the fixed IP addresses and DNS tables to manage
At the risk of going all Yorkshire on you - bloody luxury!
We used to have kit flown in late one evening, and I'd have to have it ready for customer demo the following morning. It all ran RARP, which meant that the first thing was to map MAC to IP address in /etc/ethers, then IP to hostname in /etc/hosts. And all that was so much easier if they'd actually labelled the kit with its MAC address.
And then I'd have to write the customer demo...
