  • Setting the hostname

    /etc/hostconfig is where OS X gets the hostname of the machine from. Change the line that reads:

    HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-
    

    to:

    HOSTNAME=trillian
    

    Change trillian in the above line to whatever you want your machine to be called. Aparently there is a demon that you can restart for this change to take effect, but I dont know what it is so a restart is required.

  • Memtest

    If you need to check the ram on your machine and you happen to be running gentoo:

    pddb-a01 linux # emerge -p memtest86
    
    These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
    
    Calculating dependencies ...done!
    [ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/memtest86-3.0-r1
    

    and then add this to grub.conf:

    title=memtest
    kernel (hd0,0)/memtest86/memtest.bin
    

    Reboot and the choose the memtest option.

  • Rescanning the SCSI bus under Linux

    Just recently needed to tell Linux (2.4.18 on redHat 7.1SBE) to rescan the scsi buss for recently added luns, after looking around I’ve found this (Broken link http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/scsidev/) useful page with this (Broken link http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh) handy little script which did the trick.

  • Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge

    I’ve just recently bought one of these, I primarily bought it so i didnt need to run an extra piece of ethernet to the Xbox. It works perfectly, just tell it what SSID it should join and what your WEP settings are and plug it in. It works seamlessly with any ethernet device which is already configured for your lan. Brilliant.
