Reassign a vswif to a new vmnic
VMware doesn’t like having two service console connections with different IP addresses in the same subnet, so I have two options.
1. Create a service console connection in a different subnet and access the host from that subnet using the VIclient.
2. Enter the commands directly on the host console.I recommend option two. Keep in mind that this process temporarily disrupts network communications to the host via the service console IP.
After obtaining physical access to the host’s console (or network access via a DRAC or ILO), log in and su – to establish root.
SIMPLE. Unable to network Vsphere in…
SOLVED. I hope this saves someone some time. OK, in ESX non free Vsphere , Bridged networking does not work as in other VM’s. Rather than choosing standard bridged, you have to choose the vmnet0 from the bottom and not bridged. Now it works.

Arghhhhh! Spent three hours on this… This solution worked although I though I did have the VM originally set to vmnet0 when all the network connectivity weirdness began.
lighttpd fly light
Security, speed, compliance, and flexibility — all of these describe lighttpd (pron. lighty) which is rapidly redefining efficiency of a webserver; as it is designed and optimized for high performance environments. With a small memory footprint compared to other web-servers, effective management of the cpu-load, and advanced feature set (FastCGI, SCGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) lighttpd is the perfect solution for every server that is suffering load problems. And best of all it’s Open Source licensed under the revised BSD license.

SIP Trunking: A Reality Check
As the conversation developed, we learned there are companies that are not planning, testing and monitoring installations. They are simply putting systems in, getting SIP trunks connected, testing for dial tone and moving onto the next client. Customers are experiencing poor quality, dropped calls and SIP trunks simultaneously dropping then reconnecting. So many problems occurred, the customers simply said, “Enough is enough! Let’s rip everything out and go back to what works!”
SSH Filesystem
This is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there’s nothing to do. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.
The idea of sshfs was taken from the SSHFS filesystem distributed with LUFS, which I found very useful. There were some limitations of that codebase, so I rewrote it. Features of this implementation are:
- Based on FUSE (the best userspace filesystem framework for linux 😉
- Multithreading: more than one request can be on it’s way to the server
- Allowing large reads (max 64k)
- Caching directory contents

Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce
Gnome 3 is like re-inventing the car – with no confusing dials on the dashboard, a rear view mirror that pops up when you lean to the left, and the gear shift in the glove box.
Vroom!
