Comment on Linux Sysadmin/DevOps Interview Questions

Comments

This is a horrible interview question for all but a tiny handful of jobs:

  Is 300.168.0.123 a valid IPv4 address?
...but it is a great late night fun trivia question about "how can adding one character to that address make it into an address accepted by many tools".
                                                                                                                    Stick a zero in front?  0300 octal == 192
Edit: Fixed so it's not such an obvious spoiler.
