Why can I never remember where hosts is?

Post by Kajun »

Is it:

a) because I'm a dumbass
b) because I should write it down on my paper based password list that I should really keep on my desk visible at all times because it's more secure that way
c) because WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/ is a REALLY stupid place to keep something which has nothing to do with drivers, etc, system32, and notably, Windows?!

Also, and the reason why this topic exists in the first place:

WHY DO I NEVER BACK IT (AND HTTPD.CONF) UP WHEN I REINSTALL?!! :evil:

Aye.

Massmail to 7,000 users.

"Sorry. You cannot access the internet and also this email because we forgot to backup your unique identity on this network. It's probably your fault, you know."

I phoned up our user support services the other day about a DHCP problem - it was picking up the IP but not the gateway, and so couldn't get through to anywhere. Got a response back: "Seems the elves have been at the DHCP server and buggered most of it up. Will give you a phone in a while" 8) :lol:

Happy Christmas all ye servers out there!
