AIX

stating the obvious?

I’m working at home today studying for my AIX 5.1 exam. There was a funny paragraph in the redbook documentation –

Wa tape drive with ribbon hanging out the front of the cartridge may not function properly in the tape drive.”

Talk about stating the obvious!

Webmin

I downloaded and installed Webmin , a web front end to administer unix boxes, on one of our AIX boxes yesterday.Looks really good and a nice frontend, instead of smit, to do things. I might roll this out to the helpdesk guys as it will make it easier for them to maintain and support the unix boxes we have on site. The only down side is the rpm install wouldn’t work – I had to download the tar file and run setup from that.
