heres a list of the positions availible…
Assistant Implementor. I.E coders and builder babysitters coders. which will be entirely enviromental.. code from home send me the update and lets work… builders. please have an imagination… i hate bogus descriptions general staff. if you think you just want to come hang out then come, im always up for people willing to learn
right now im running ip which sucks but im waiting to create my domain which will happen soon i promice…. check me out..
I'm sure typing "ifconfig" on the console does indeed report the private IP address of the linux system he's running. I'm equally sure finding the external IP that the cable modem (or DSL line) gave the linksys/netgear/whatever router is a pain in the rear. I suspect, starting "from scratch" with CircleMUD is probably going to prove less satisfying than simply starting from the Godwars platform he's attempting to recreate, for reasons unknown.

Actually if you have a router like that, they all have http interfaces that make it extremely easy to find out what its external IP is.
He's running on a private IP without realizing it *IS* a private IP. He's running everything as root, as his choice of port number 400 shows. I think such an http interface might not be so easy. :wink:

Well, he's running on port 4000, not port 400, and going to 192.168.1.1 doesn't sound too terribly hard to me, but, eh…
But either way…I (mistakenly?) went with the "stereotype" that most "Linux users" are of at least above average computer knowledge. Such as differentiating an internal/external IP. That and saying you have plans to start a hosting service….While not making that, IMO, most basic distinction, seems to be polar opposites.
Ah, Kline quoted it as 400. I bet he's running as root anyways. *grin*
Ubuntu seems to try to wrap cushy padding around everything by making the "first user" be non-root but with sudo acess…which always struck me as a bit weird since this doesn't actually prevent disaster as much as it makes newbies prefix every command with "sudo".
I'm inclined to think of OP as some kind of bait. I refuse to believe this sort of post still develops naturally in the wild. It hits almost every box in the checklist.

This drove me crazy when I first loaded Xubuntu on my laptop a few months ago, never having used anything but Debian or Red Hat before. I never use sudo. It annoys me. I prefer to su, do what I need, and exit. So it was a short experience having to "correct" the "Ubuntu way" on my laptop.

It's easy enough to sudo bash if you have a long sequence of commands to issue.
