Re: an FYI on the Dell Dimension 9200 @ TSW

Okay, since it's the Y2K^WChristmas^WNew Years's^W^W^W^WHoliday Season,
I thought I'd bring out an oldie.

On the first day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    It's January, 1970.

On the second day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the third day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    stale file handle, /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the fourth day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    hme is down, stale file handle, /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the fifth day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    no route to host... hme is down, stale file handle, /var is
    full, and it's January, 1970.

On the sixth day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    bad magic number, no route to host... hme is down, stale file
    handle, /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the seventh day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    can't open socket, bad magic number, no route to host... hme is
    down, stale file handle, /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the eighth day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    panic! double panic!, can't open socket, bad magic number, no
    route to host... hme is down, stale file handle, /var is full,
    and it's January, 1970.

On the ninth day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    can't fork process, panic! double panic!, can't open socket,
    bad magic number, no route to host... hme is down, stale file
    handle, /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the A day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    out of ttys, can't fork process, panic! double panic!, can't
    open socket, bad magic number, no route to host... hme is down,
    stale file handle, /var is full, and it's January, 1970.

On the B day of Y2K, my server said to me:
    enter system password, out of ttys, can't fork process, panic!
    double panic!, can't open socket, bad magic number, no route
    to host... hme is down, stale file handle, /var is full, and
    it's January, 1970.

On the C day of Y2K, my server said to me:

    ok

    enter system password, out of ttys, can't fork process, panic!
    double panic!, can't open socket, bad magic number, no route
    to host... hme is down, stale file handle, /var is full, and
    it's January, 1970.
