Not understanding the $ id bob thing.  Is that something that I do at
the commandline?  Not heard of NSS before.

local password

Is the hosts file suppose to be listed in the resolv.conf file?  I
have all my books at home and I have been doing a lot of Winbloz
lately and the mind is a little bit rusty....

dmesg says that it is using a 33MHz speed.  Would I want to use 66 or
do I need to investigate exactly what I have?  How would I look that
up? (sometimes I feel like such a newbie) Is that the number that
might be like 100 or 133?  Where would I set that parameter?
