dpkg returns Bus Error

Hello everyone, I have a Debian machine that's mostly woody (just a few packages from testing like quagga and associated libs) but dpkg seems terminally broken. Running any dpkg command (except help) results in a Bus Error. I don't know of any odd occurances (disk/mem failure) th

NIC War

Hello all, The weirdest thing's been going on lately with the two NICs in my machine. One has started to respond on behalf of the other (almost like a proxy arp), and AFAIK, I never set it up to do that. The problem now is getting them both to respond normally, as they did when I first set them u

what bash dotfiles are read during interactive ssh?
