we considered that, but space and power on the aircraft is limited which is why we are consolidating our current system (laptop with USB and firewire components ... about 4 or 5U of space) into a single 2U box.

I'm building a data system for an aircraft mounted instrument that will basically dump a stream from a highspeed IP camera to disk. We are looking at using a 2u rack mount server capable of holding 6 disks: 2 would be dedicated to main and redundant system disks and the other 4 for data...

I'm attempting to setup private user svn repos using apache dav_svn. I would like to have users access the generic url "private.svn.xxx.xxx" at which point they would be prompted with a login. Once they log in, it would use their username dynamically in the SVNParentPath (setting it to...

I have a small group of research machines, including a dedicated file server connected to a raid. All machines are running the latest Ubuntu server. I'm attempting to set it up so that I can have centralized user management and user home directories. The machines will all be headless with...

This is kind of a strange issue. My windows clock keeps reseting to the date and time that I turned the computer on (Monday Dec 28th at 8:30pm) every single time it comes out of standby. My first thought was the CMOS battery, but wouldn't that constantly reset the time back to some date in the...

We have an MPLS network with several remote nodes that route back to a headend network. This network provides internet traffic for approx 100 users on each node. The main router is connected to the MPLS cloud via a 6 Meg pipe (moving up to a 10 Meg shortly) and each remote node is linked to the...

It depends on what you really are looking for. Are you looking for something like an IPS that can look for patterns and shut down traffic automatically, or can they be separate tools? For monitoring, there are two basic methods. The first is to install a hub inline or create a mirrored port...

Then a pipe might not be the way to do it. My idea was basically a proxy. The reader opens the proxy (Pipe, script, whatever), which in turn opens the actual file to be read. The proxy just passes on the read request and modifies the return on the fly, so the EOF the reader gets is the EOF in...

Although the better solution would be to setup nagios (apache) to authenticate to ldap and stand up an ldap server. I believe there are plenty of how-to's out there for this." That's actually what I ended up doing. I configured apache to authenticate against our Active domain controller and...

I'm attempting to authorize apache against an Active Directory server. I've been fighting with it all day and have it working, but not really. Here is my conf.d entry for the site: ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin" <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"> # SSLRequireSSL...

the htpasswd file just contains a line with the username and the hashed password: username:alkshflakueLKJHFdLSKdjf username2:adfieweoiuvklnem etc. I did figure out that I can symlink the /etc/shadow file and have it work, but I have to give the apache user read access to it. I'm not sure how...

x2 on nagios. You can do very basic monitoring and alerting with it or coax it into performing some pretty amazing feats.

I have an ubuntu 8.04 server running nagios. It uses htpasswd for authentication and user privileges. I would like to sync the passwd file to the htpasswd file so that when I add or remove a user from the machine (or they change their password in the shell) the changes are immediately...

Any chance you can place that dhcp server inside the network, thereby not NATting the requests?" We are actually going to try it with a VPN. We are going to set up a network at the office for the CMTS, modems and management servers that we will extend to the sites with a VPN tunnel, then just...

I have a complicated network layout and I need some help getting it working. I have a local network that is connected to the internet via a NAT router. This public circuit only has a handfull of public IP's. On the local side of the network resides a CMTS, which is a layer 2 bridge...
