(Side question: If, for some odd reason, you should happen, as root, to enter `ifconfig eth0 down` without bothering to unmount all your NFS mounts and the log starts spewing "RPC: sendmsg returned error 101", how do you recover, assuming that ^C won't kill the ifconfig command, your window manager won't close the xterm ifconfig is running in, the steady stream of RPC errors prevents a console login (or opening a new xterm), and the ethernet interface being down prevents a remote login? Without rebooting. This is a purely hypothetical question, of course...) -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
