Inzwischen bin ich schon seit einiger Zeit nicht nur Contributer, sondern kann auch Übersetzungen freigeben. Hier ein kurzer Abriss, wie das Ganze abläuft:

I'm running Solaris 11 Express snv_151a on some boxes and discovered some weird behaviour together with DHCP.

I'm using ISC DHCP Server to provide information to this subnet and the Solaris 11 boxes keep sending DHCPINFORM about every 3 minutes ( lease times are set to several hours, so that is way too often ). DHCPINFORM is a way to ask for further information - the dhcp server responds with the DHCPACK containing all options it can offer and the host ist requesting.

I tried setting other options to poll in /etc/default/dhcpagent on the Solaris host.

Heute ist Sysadmin - Day, der Tag der fuer Systemadministratoren das gleiche wie der Mutter der Muttertag ist. Lobet und danket Euren Systemadministratoren! Sie arbeiten dafuer, dass diese Welt besteht, wie wir sie kennen.

Da ich ja auch von einigen Sysadmins abhaengig bin: Ein dickes Danke an Euch, dass Ihr jeden Tag dafuer schwitzt, dass ich meine Dienste so stabil nutzen kann, wie ich es gewohnt bin!

Yesterday arrived the first Sun server ever I bought for a costumer of my company. Since this was a big moment for me I will write a follow up with some pictures. :-)

When I first turned it on I heard a grinding noise. It seems that one of the fans is a bit flawky. At about 10 p.m. I wrote to my consultant at IPS (my Sun vendor) and told him about this problem. Today at 8:45 a.m. Sun Support called me, whether I want a technician or if I want to change it my own. 2 hours later I received a mail that the spare part is on the way.

Remember, since the server is for a small company and is not that critical I did not purchase any extra service contracts.

Gongratulations Sun and IPS you did not make me regret my decision to buy Sun, but really gave me another reason to stick to it.

As most of the technical things I write about in this blog are about topics most interesting for people who have IT jobs I will provide more English versions of my articles. According to my hit analysis I see, that many people from English speaking countries come to this blog and leace soon.

I don't think writing technical articles in English is a big drawback, because most people involved in IT should be able to read English fluently. And maybe I'll provide German versions, too. Just for your convencience. :-)

I'm not quite sure if I will keep both versions like on c0t0d0s0.org, but maybe there will be some translations for articles which are really important to me.
