The number keypad in Putty normally works fine. Until you launch Vi(m). Then it is basically useless. Hitting ’0′ on the keypad prints out a ‘p‘, Hitting ’1′ prints out a ‘q‘, etc. This has always bothered me, but I’ve never taken the time to resolve it. Today I did. Turns out you need to select ‘Disable application keypad mode’ in the Putty Configuration – Terminal – Features. Doing this makes the number pad work correctly in both the shell and Vi(m).

When trying to mount a share from a Linux server (RHEL5) Solaris (10) issues this very useful message:

bash-3.00# mount server:/nfsshare /sharepoint
nfs mount: mount: /sharepoint: Not owner
bash-3.00#

This appears to be an issue with NFS v4 on Linux and Solaris 10. To fix this edit:

/etc/default/nfs

and change

#NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=4

to

NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=3

Or of one time mounts simply add the following to the command line

mount -o vers=3 server:/nfsshare /sharepoint
