If you absolutely can't touch the AD servers you'll have to look at Samba's Winbind. IIRC, you'll want a separate LDAP server to store the SID-UID mappings, instead of letting each client make up their own. I don't know if the default AD schema has enough information to authenticate Linux clients directly. I think, at a minimum, you'll need Services For Unix installed. That'll add attributes which are almost, but not entirely, unlike the normal posixAccount ones. From there you could use OpenLDAP meta mapping to translate MS LDAP to something more sane.

My backup files are compressed raw SQL, so they can be greped, seded, perled, and restored anywhere. There's another option, if you have the right filesystem.

FWIW, I've had Comcast Workplace Standard w/ 5 Static IPs for just over two years. The cost is now $112.35/month after fees and taxes.

If you're getting a residential install (which really confuses their sales and support folks) to a house with existing cable it'll often be free.

Comcast changes thier ToS about every three months as they constantly reinvent the service. My $105 6.0/768 includes the "refund if it stops working" SLA. The catch is that I have to report the outage, and I have to actually request the credit. I keep forgetting the second part, so I've missed out on something like $30 in credits. Oh well. > RELIABILITY > > Insufficient data. We just put the Comcast feed into production for > web surfing a few days ago. As I hinted at above, I've had approximately two full days of total outage in two years. Unfortunately, at least 24 hours of that was in one shot. At least thier business tech support is better than the residential clowns. When I call to report an outage it's: "Did you power cycle the router?" "Yes" "Hmm...

I guess that depends on how much you can bend the truth and keep a straight face. If a package didn't come from Red Hat's build system, it's not a RHEL package. I don't know of anyone freely redistributing the RH-built update packages. You can come REALLY close by switching the system to CentOS: http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS3#q5 At that point it's technically CentOS 3, not RHEL3. It's the same source RPMs as RHEL, but rebuilt by an external group (usually with a delay of up to a few days). For the purposes of application compatibility it shouldn't matter.

Keysigning at MerriLUG on Thursday
I've been asked a few questions off-list that are probably worth sharing with the group. As a reminder, signup instructions are at http://nexttime.com/mbrodeur/PGP-Mar-2007/ Q. What is the schedule for the evening, and how long will the keysigning take? A. I can't be sure until I have an idea of how many participants there will be. The order will be demos, presentation, signing. If the check sheet is fairly short (10 actual humans or less) we'll start the signing at ~20:30 and be done by 21:00. If it looks like a big group I'll skip all but the most basic parts of the presentation and start the signing at 20:00. That should leave time for Q&A for anyone who wants to stick around. Q. I don't have keys yet, or I'm not used to working with them, and I still want to participate. A. See http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN26 for a good guide to creating a new keypair. Once you have a key and know its ID (KeyID), you can use the following commands to satisfy steps 2 and 3 in the instructions at my site: # Submit key to keyserver $ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key [KeyID] # Send key details to mbrodeur $ gpg --fingerprint [KeyID] Copy and paste the output into an email to me with the subject "PGP Key for MerriLUG". You could of course do: $ gpg --fingerprint [KeyID] | mail -s "PGP Key for MerriLUG" [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you already have a nice easy GUI tool and know how to use it then you can ignore these instructions. If you want a nice easy GUI tool, or want to know how to use the one you already have, then just show up at the meeting.

You're making sense, but you're also making this harder than it needs to be. Assuming you already have a wireless router (residential gateway, broadband sharing device, whatever), you can do the following: 1. Log in to the admin interface 2. Disable DHCP service 3. Set the LAN IP to something in your existing network. I like to use the top or bottom of the range for network devices, in your case 192.168.101.254 might work. 4. Disconnect the WAN side of the router and reconnect your existing private network to a LAN port instead. That should be it. If you ignore the WAN side of these devices they're nothing more than a combined access point and 4+ port switch. You just want to make sure that the router's DHCP is disabled so that your existing DHCP server will be the only one on that network. - -- Matt Brodeur RHCE [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.NextTime.com Time sure flies when you don't know what you're doing. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBtdhKc8/WFSz+GKMRAlATAJ0We5wCxvGAXBfBGxvCPea7mnIrlgCbB196 iosJU/FCAbGCnJ6sVhWBCBs= =ZQNI -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I have seen probably 10-20 messages in the past week that have a Habeas Warrant Mark (www.habeas.com), but are obviously spam. The default SA configuration will assign -8.0 points for this, usually outweighing other indicators and letting the message through. This line in your user_prefs or local.cf could help: score HABEAS_SWE 0.00 I chose to completely disable the Habeas check, since it just seems too easy to forge. You might want to instead assign it a more reasonable score (like -2.0 or so), so that a really spammy message will still count as a hit. As an interesting note, all of the messages that have slipped through due to the Habeas issue have also scored 90+ on the Bayes test. Since my BAYES_99 score is 7.5, the HABEAS_SWE of -8.0 was completely nullifying that result.
