      @johnhooks Yeah I'm confused...

      It sounds like he revoked all permissions from his Linux File Server though because he wasn't certain of what he was doing.

      Even if you do a chmod 000 you can still access files through root. Ya I have no idea what he did.

        Yeah, he just started breaking things without knowing what was going on. Same thing would happen on Windows. Basically, clueless people should not be allowed to IT 😉

          Unless it's like when you do chmod 644 on /usr/bin/chmod and then can't ever change permissions on anything. Maybe he did chmod 000 on / so nothing would execute period.

          How you get to that point, I don't know. I think these are the same kind of people that run fork bombs because they saw a funny picture telling them it would be hilarious.

            Breaking things is fine provided it's in a test environment as part of the learning experience ^_^

                    If you do puke, do it like a boss all over the new boss to show who really is the boss...

                    Am'I'right?

                          If you puke act like it's a part of your presenation.

                          "Here, to your right we have a wastebin <puke tremendously> which is now full of puke. Moving along on page 34 you will see our need to edit the hosts file in order to bypass our DNS...."

                            My quandry of the day summarized in graph form. Is it worth the effort or just suffer through the tedium?

                              If it can be scripted, script it.

                              Comment the devil out of the script so you don't leave yourself wondering why your black magic works.

                                  Generally I agree but it's only for a short time to gather info from our dilapidated WIFI AP's... Ugh. I'll sleep on it tonight and see if I care enough to do it tomorrow.

                                      I'm secretly hoping my wife will go to bed early tonight so I can convert my desktop to a XenServer (even if only temporarily) to see if I can get an image to import.

                                            Why did you delete your old images before you tested the new ones?

                                            and if it's not working now, and was then - yeah you're probably right, you're hosed 😛

                                            I work in IT......... don't practice what I preach 😄 (i.e. Backups!)

                                            LOL - yeah I don't delete old images until I have a working new one - I guess we all live and learn.

                                            Think that was the issue thought i had a working new image, wasn't until i clicked start to check something was installed noticed it was screwed lol
