Re: Being a shell provider - good business?

[Outback Dingo]

actually i agree here, running a shell server for 10 USD a head per month,
is a good idea
especially for your freinds who need to learn, just do the math, 100 users
at 10 USD a month and guess what
your making money, though its the getting users to use and abide by good
usage policies is the other trick
it is a great tool for universities to teach students with also

 Honestly speaking, I would say its easy money.

  Hello. My friend thinks that being a shell provider for IRC bots and
  bouncers is very good business. How do I convince him it's not?
 
  Sorry for going off-topic and cross-post, but I don't know who else to
  ask.

  I'm serious, I'm trying to get him to use his BSD servers for other
  purposes. Maybe webhosting. Maybe a grid to help out local universities
 in
  their supercomputing. Or just plain consulting. Isn't there any research
  article out there showing just how silly and profitless that whole
 business
  model is?
 
  Thanks guys,

Re: LDAP Support

[OutBack Dingo]

Have you considered there might be a problem with the hardware and not
the OS. maybe memory has become faulty. Ive got 62 FreeBSD 5.4 Servers
running and they dont crash. Maybe you are using a piece of incompatible
hardward, or something may have started to show signs of becoming
faulty. Before you decide to rip out the OS and have potentially the
same problem with OpenBSD or NetBSD, be sure its not something other
then the OS. If you need some help in maybe trouble shooting the issue,
feel free to post the points here.

 Hi all,
 
 I'm currently experiencing major problems with FreeBSD 5.4 (stability, 
 system keeps crashing) and i'm looking for an alternative solution.
 
 Right now, we have a mail server which is completely 100% LDAP (no local 
 accounts on the system at all).  Is it possible to integrate LDAP into the 
 system so that all authentication is done via LDAP?  I know OpenBSD does 
 not have NSS/PAM like FreeBSD does, so I'm trying to investigate how quick 
 and easy it would be to switch our solution to OpenBSD.
 
 TIA, Regards,
 
 Matt
