Hard to very hard, I would think. The system calls are different, the

managing that with raw iptables commands would be a nightmare.
Your problem would be trivial to solve with Shorewall.

Seconded. If you want travel to be part of your job, make it so. No one's
going to do it for you.

If an in-use library file is replaced, the file won't be removed from disk
until no more processes are accessing it. You may see a new file (ie, a
new inode number), but old processes are still using the old library file
(which may well have the same name). You can force a daemon to use the new

for bash: it's surely far easier and less disruptive to update bash than
to switch to a new shell.
Nicky, are you looking for experience in the Dorset area, or would you
consider elsewhere? If the latter, mail me on k...@tiger-computing.co.uk
with summary of what you've done and what you'd like to do, and I'll see
whether we can help.

Adding an extension will make no difference under Linux (that's a
Windows-ism, and one of the most stupid software engineering decisions

Be aware that there is an inherent problem using rsync for backups, which
is addressed by some of the projects that wrap around rsync.
If you simply rsync from SystemA to SystemB, you are not preserving
