We HERE!!!
We made it to our hotel in Nashville about 9:00 last night. We would have made it sooner, but Adam made a wrong turn at the last minute, and we spent about 20 minutes driving around Nashville trying to find our way. We picked up a map of Nashville at a tourist center, but in [...]
M$ vs. Linux
Someone brought this article to my attention this week, so I put my rebuttal here. Not entirely comprehensive, but it’s a start. Not meaning to start another M$ v Linux war here, but what’s your take?
Snort & Nagios
I put it off for awhile, but I finally got around to getting Snort up and running. It was actually pretty easy to get it working. Since I’m using OpenBSD all I had to do was: # pkg_add snort-2.6.0.2p1-mysql And then it was installed. I used Oinkmaster to download the rules I needed, and it [...]
Samba 4 Alpha is Out!!!
The Alpha version of Samba 4 is now available. I installed the last technical preview of Samba 4, but never really got around to testing it. I’ve been pretty busy. When I setup the servers recently, I created several empty partitions that I can use to add more VM’s. So I’m thinking I can setup [...]
Is the End of FREE Open Source Near?
I remember many years ago when I first started to program, and began learning about databases, the first database server I tried was MySQL. What I read about it claimed that MySQL was the best performing database server available, plus it was multi-platform, free and Open Source. What could be better? Last year MySQL split [...]
Samba 4 Review
Technical Preview 5 of Samba 4 recently came out. So I’ve downloaded it and will try to install it on an Ubuntu virtual machine running on VMWare. And because I’m such a nice guy, I’ll let you share the experience with me. I’m starting with a basic Ubuntu Server 7.04 Feisty Faun configured as a [...]
Samba 4
Speaking of Sama, Technical Preview 5 (TP5) for Samba 4 came out last month. And what’s so great about Samba 4? It’s a little thing called Active Directory. Until now, using Samba as a PDC only gave you NT4 functionality, but with Samba 4 comes promises of full AD integration. It will include it’s own [...]
Samba + LDAP
I’m making some virtual machines in VMWare to load on my servers. I’m upgrading all the hardware and moving everything to virtual machines. We’ve been having some trouble with our network as the result of a crash a few months ago. Our server crashed when I was performing an upgrade and I had a terrible [...]
iSCSI SAN
There’s been so much talk about SAN’s lately, and I knew my budget would never allow me to purchase one, so this week I built my very own iSCSI SAN. I put together a system with an AMD Athlon64 X2 AM2 3800+ with 2GB DDR2 800 RAM, a 20GB IDE HDD for the OS and [...]
OpenBSD/DG/Squid HowTo
I’ve had several people ask me recently how to setup Dan’s Guardian (DG) with Squid as a transparent proxy. I’ve been using DG for a couple of years now and I’ve set it up for some others as well. I’ve always used OpenBSD as my OS of choice for my router/firewall/content filter(RFCF) because OpenBSD is [...]
