We have a lot of what you might consider, legacy systems.  Primarily, most of our NetWare servers.  For us, they’re still highly used production machines.

One such server is a NetWare 6.5 box running iScsi target services.  That server is the shared storage for our Novell cluster.  I’m working on getting a base Zenoss install configured for some sort of host monitoring.  I couldn’t get the Netware server to talk back to the zenoss server.  I realized that the default gateway was wrong.  It was set to some bogus gateway from when we had a flat network and gateways were irrelevant.  The best part is, the reinitialize command doesn’t seem to work when I change any setting in inetcfg.  There is some goofy step when you first run inetcfg where it has to transfer from autoexec.ncf and requires a server reboot.  So basically, I have to drag the entire cluster offline to change the default gateway of the target server.

And people complained about having to restart windows 95/98 when you changed your IP!
