[CentOS] need trouble ticket system

2009-03-28 Thread Dhaval Thakar
Hi,

I need to implement trouble tracking system,
we have 250 users in one premise & 3 desktop support technicians.

I need to implement trouble ticket system, where user will enter their
application / other issues. Mail will be sent to technician available on
duty.
trouble ticket will be provided to user & will be given close stat once
resolved.

Kindly suggest me one such application based on open source.

[CentOS] web filtering for remote computers

2009-05-21 Thread Dhaval Thakar
Hi,

I am using Squid for local users since two years & is working fine.
I am trying to implement web filtering for remote computers e.g few laptops & 
branch / franchise computers on dynamic ips.

I do not want to use Squid proxy for it, if all remote computers will use Squid 
from my public ip, bandwidth utilization will increase.
Need valuable suggestion to achieve this.

thanks for the reply.
I need vpn server to provide software connectivity to the clients.
This is trading software.

I have installed & used OpenVpn on my test setup.
It is working fine.

I prefer non-encryption vpn.
If I use openvpn, it will require more processing power than poptop.
I guess creating backup server might become difficult as it works on ssl 
cert. cert created on server1 might not work with server2. Whereas in 
poptop I need to copy single file (chap-secrets).

I am trying testing poptop, if there any better vpn server available 
kindly let me know.

they connect software from home / offices.

they need database access.
I prefre providing database over vpn rather providing via internet on
