What happened here was my Paycheck Continuation Program, PCP or job to the clueless!
Last Thursday right after sticking Wes with the start of The Devil in the Mirror, my Boss calls me in. It seems we are now bidding on a Government Contract whose info will reside on my Linux Servers at work (Yes plural, as in 5) and they must meet the current Government requirements for Secure Environment Linux hereafter called SE Linux.
I explain that our servers are running on Fedora 8 and that to meet current Gov requirements we would need to go up to Fedora 12. Not a major problem, when do you need it?
Answer, TUESDAY! Now we have a fracking PROBLEM!
Thus since last Thursday almost every waking moment has been involved in doing a four generation upgrade on five servers. This believe it or not is where this site saved my behind as I had fought the same problems here already.
It is 8:30 AM Tuesday the 12th of January and we are Gov compliant! Now having been up most of the weekend I am dying!
We have a minor competitor who works in the same building we do and when I left work there four IT pukes from that outfit were in the parking lot smoking and griping about there BIND problems as they were trying to do the same thing I had just finished.
Now there are about three people in this town I would not piss on if they were on fire, two of them were in that group!
If you think I told them shit, you don’t read our books.
