    Speed dial from email signature

    What Dan said, I reckon that'd be the easiest way to skin this one. I know sod all about doing clever stuff with exchange but on a Linux Mail Server that'd be a fairly trivial thing to get done. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits Rob

    ASA Product back ordered for months need 100 user VPN

    I also heard the chip rumour. We've had some on order since Mid Feb and are still awaiting delivery of them. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits Rob

    ASA 5510 NAT and No NAT

    I think you have to have the unit in either routed/transparent mode so you dont really have a choice. You can however setup a NAT rule that translates your external IP to the same external IP but on the inside interface. That should do what you're trying to achieve and let you have the...

    Linux server hardware monitoring via email

    Nagios is excellent for near realtime alerts (few minutes). For capacity planning/trending Cacti is also very good. Running the two in tandem can give you an excellent overview of your enviroment. I wish someone would just call me Sir, without adding 'Your making a scene'. Rob

    redhat 5.0 question

    Not sure with Dell servers - you might find info by looking around /proc or /proc/scsi/scsi but generally not going to get lots of info... Is there a Dell utility loaded onto the server - HP servers have the cpqarray utility which lets you see the disk info. My bet though is your guy in Paris...

    Live Mirror of a Linux server?

    I was about to suggest DRBD & Heartbeat but Geirendre has done that before me :) Its smart stuff and I've used it in production. DRBD acts like a RAID1 Mirror over the network (dedicated GigE NIC on each machine with x-over would be a good config). Heartbeat fails the services (i.e...

    Persuading people to pay for security certificates

    I'd go with the suggestions above, involving your network/firewall team/guys will be beneficial. If you have/work to something like BS7799/ISO27001 then this should certainly be raised. I would look at SSL as a mandatory requirement for this solution to go forward, who is responsible for the...

    Remote control Software

    I agree with Daver on the point about Webmin Security. It is afterall, it is a web interface which runs ontop of a webserver. That means its an application ontop of a webserver running with root perms (or even suexec - i dont know the ins and outs of webmin). SSH on the other hand is a secure...

    usb drivers on 2.6 kernel (RedHat)

    Can you post the output of lsusb, if the device is in the list (which based on the output above i think it will) then RHEL has picked it up. From here you'll have to figure out where its been assigned to (i.e. /dev/sda potentially). From there you'll need format it and then mount it somewhere...

    Gotta love the name of your email account :) have you tried the following on the machine with outlook - and the RH server if you have ssh access; From the Server; telnet localhost 110 user $username pass $pass stat If you can get on here then all is well with the server; try the client :)...

    Is there life after IT?

    I worked a lot in System Admin roles and got bored with the never ending same old that came along. I ended up leaving my old Job about 6 months ago and now work as a solutions architect. It leverages all my skills and as well as doing the pre-sales type thing and working with the client at the...

    A way to solve SSH attacks problem

    Certainly not, however when running internet facing servers it can be wise to Firewall everything with a seperate Hardware Firewall and only allow access to specific services (i.e. 80 & 443) unless your on VPN. Admittedly its OTT for most things but i've been in several scenarios where its...

    stats package to track traffic

    AwStats can certainly do a daily view - it gives an hourly breakdown as well. I thought you clicked on the Hyperlink under each day of the month to get into the daily view. I wish someone would just call me Sir, without adding 'Your making a scene'. Rob

    Performance / Load / Security Question

    Hi Smah, Using NFS isn't the best idea, purely because of its reliability and performance. Under heavy load you would certainly notice problems. I've seen it used sucessfully on smaller installs but i would never recommend it. Ideally, ensure that the FE machine is secured by a Firewall...

    A way to solve SSH attacks problem

    As changlinn says, use a script to block users. I notice in the article that the author says this will create a big list of blocked IP's. Also change the SSH port to something obscure as well - this will stop bots which cause most of the log entries - if not all. If you want to do it properly...

    HTML and PHP loop

    How about doing it like this; <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellpadding="0" width="80%"> <tr> <td><strong>Field</strong></td> <td><strong>Type</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <? include ("admin/dbconf.php"); // include your db connection //...

    Syslog cant keep up with cisco

    You've got a typo in your output - -d instead of -b. I wish someone would just call me Sir, without adding 'Your making a scene'. Rob

    Geforce FX5200 Vs Onboard NVIDIA 6100 GPU

    Good choice. The 6600GT is still a very powerful card. The 3200+ also packs a lot of punch (i've also got the venice core). I've always used Gigabyte boards since i've started with computers because there really robust and stable. I wish someone would just call me Sir, without adding 'Your...

    Geforce FX5200 Vs Onboard NVIDIA 6100 GPU

    Hi Graham, I've just upgraded recently and am running an Nforce 4 Gigabyte board (K8N51GMF-9). It has the 6100 on which i used for a week while i was waiting for a PCI-E 7600GT Card. Im currently running an Athlon64 3200+ and 2GB Ram. I also had a 5200FX in my old system. Performance seemed...
