Subject: Cheap/Free POP3/SMTP Server?

We have a few dozen domains that are non-critical that I don't want to host on 
our internal Exchange system (mostly political some technical reasons i.e. I 
don't want some of the users anywhere near my LAN).

Most of them only have the need for abuse@ and postmaster@ to be configured, 
but a few of the domains have some aliases setup and a couple of them have some 
POP3 mailboxes.

I've tried hmailserver and mailenable on one of our DMZ boxes and each does the 
job whilst each has its quirks (I'm leaning towards hmailserver right now).

Any suggestions on anything else that is cheap/free and easy to configure?

Re: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU

2010-09-22 Thread Andrew S. Baker
I'd argue that it's only a model once you monetize it. :)

Ultimately, I think the vendors are going to go that way, because it is
cheaper to produce and easier to support.  Much easier to finesse the
necessary price points for an ever-growing value conscious society.   And it
even benefits consumers, too.

Either way, it's not robbery unless the specific value proposition is
garbage -- e.g. the price being offered for the default configuration is too
expensive for the power provided OR the price to upgrade is too expensive
for the performance derived for the upgrade.

For my purposes, if Intel offers a processor that can provide X or X+2 units
of performance at a cost of $100 for X and +$50 for (X+2) then I'm good if:

   - All I need today is X, and $100 is what I deem an appropriate price for
   X power
   - What I need today is X+2, and $150 is what I deem an appropriate price
   for X+2 power

Outside of that, I just won't purchase it.  If all I need is X power, I
really don't care what the price is for X+2, especially when
it's upgradeable.  (If it's not upgradeable, a good enough price might cause
me to purchase X+2 now, given the inconvenience of doing it later)

RE: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU

Here's something I thought of... Sure you'll be able to buy an unlock
code, but will the end-user realize that they are getting the same physical
hardware as someone who pays more and know that they can unlock better
performance? Thinking about the folks who go into Best Buy or WalMart to buy
a new computer (this appears to be the market that this new feature is
aimed at.) My thought is that they're going to buy whatever is on the shelf
and not realize that they just need to buy an upgrade/unlock code to
enable better performance.

How is that going to help the end-user?

RE: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU

2010-09-22 Thread John Aldrich
I'm thinking it's more like you go to the local GM dealership and they sell
you a Cadillac, and you drive out off the lot with one of those Kiddy
Cadillacs and then the sales rep tells you, Oh, for an additional $1500 you
can upgrade to a 'real' car. Based on who this seems to be marketed to
(i.e. BestBuy Non-Geek users) I don't see the Best Buy sales associate
saying Oh, yeah... buy this, and it'll do great...and if you want more
performance, I can sell you an 'upgrade' for $75. I think that most folks
who go to the electronics store or Wal-Mart are going to say heck, if this
isn't the top of the line, I don't want it. I think this model is going to
end up backfiring and causing confusion.

The info on the display model says 15 Ghz CPU but it probably isn't going
to say For an additional $75 you can get 17 Ghz. That would be confusing
to the end user, I think.

governor
 on it, limiting it to 45 mph. You want to be able to drive 65 Mph. The car
is
 completely capable of going that speed. The manufacturer has been selling

 Exactly!!!
 
 I'm not saying that there's no opportunity for abuse by the vendor, but as
 stated, this change in production makes it easier for both me AND Intel.
 
 They get a more consist fabrication process where they can more easily
 match price points with market demand for certain CPU capacity, and I get

2010-09-22 Thread Tom Miller
Folks,
 
I recently implemented a workstation management product that does patching 
(Windows updates, Acrobat, and a few other vendors).  Until now we used a WSUS 
server and it worked fine.
 
What I am seeing is workstations are still registering with the WSUS server, 
the server not yet retired.  What are your recommendations to stop this.  I 
could do any of the following:
 
- write a script so that customized WSUS registry keys are removed/set back to 
default.  These registry edits were done pre-Active Directory when we used 
Zenworks.
- disable or set to manual automatic updates using a GPO
 
The new management software has its own agent so I don't need automatic updates 
to be enabled.  But I do wish it not to be disabled should we need to manually 
run updates for some reason.
 
Recommendations?

You can remove the registry keys via GPO and/or change the service options

OpenSource Network/Systems Monitoring

2010-09-22 Thread Andrew S. Baker
I know a lot of you use Nagios for your oss monitoring needs, but I'd love
to hear from people who have tested multiple products:

I'm looking to upgrade the monitoring at %WORK% from a combination of Old
SiteScope and some Zenoss, to one of the following:

   - *OpenNMS *-- http://www.opennms.org/
   - *Zabbix *-- http://www.zabbix.com/ http://www.zabbix.com/download.php
   - *Hyperic *--
   http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring

I don't want separate consoles for Servers and Network devices, as we do
today.  And I'm not so concerned about commercial support, although it would
be a plus to deploy an option that has both community support and commercial
support options.

I've used Nagios in the past, but I prefer to deploy and manage something
that is less finicky to initially configure -- especially since I won't be
managing it directly.

I don't care what platform it runs on.  I'll likely run it in a VM, unless
performance is horrid.   Here are some relevant stats:

   - ~250 Windows and Linux servers (85% / 15%)
  - -- 20% of the environment is virtualized (ESX/ESXi)
  - -- Windows = 2003  2008
  - -- Linux = Ubuntu
   - ~50 Network Devices (90% Cisco)
   - Currently, devices to be monitored are in 4 locations, including the
   NOC, with 2 more to come online by year's end
   - Monitoring server can run on Linux or Windows -- no preference
   - Need agents (if supported) for Windows, Linux, and one Mac


Oh, and on a side note, I'm likely going to run whatever I pick for %WORK%
on my home network as well.

Thoughts, comments, etc?

* Sure you'll be able to buy an unlock code, but will the end-user

Does it matter if they realize that?

If what they pay matches the performance they thought they were getting at
that price, then the transaction is a huge success.

 I disagree that the costs are being subsidized at the low end.  It costs
 less overall to manage the product as a single unit with  unlockable
 features than a two separate products with hard coded features.
 And since the primary competitor has still not embraced that model, it is
 still possible for someone to compare the value of both the low end
 processor and the high one independently.  I'll very that both levels of
 consumer well get better pricing than before, even as Intel bags more
 profits.

+1, there seem to be many reasons for this, and it doesn't appear to be 
straightforward to figure out, from our experience (anybody with experience to 
the contrary, please speak up!)

We've seen that issue with both local and TS (roaming) profiles, but more 
commonly with TS profiles. Are you running the User Profile Hive Cleanup 
Service from Microsoft? That MAY help.

Also, I would not think that you would have to be completely rebuilding 
machines necessarily just because one profile is hosed, so long as you can 
still login to a viable profile that has admin priviliges. On 2000 and newer 
you can copy the contents of the profile to an alternate location, go system 
properties -- advanced -- profiles, and delete the profile in question. Then 
have the user log back in. You'll have to copy docs, favorites, desktop 
shortcuts, etc. Unless you have apps that write extensively to the individual 
users' registry hives, then you should be fine.

The switch question is a good one... would we need line rate speed along

Are you ok with paying $3000 more for 24 ports when you only need 8? I
guess people are going to disagree with me here but making 2 different

You can remove the registry keys via GPO and/or change the service options in

What I am seeing is workstations are still registering with the WSUS server, 
the server not yet retired. What are your recommendations to stop this. I could 
do any of the following:
- write a script so that customized WSUS registry keys are removed/set back to 
default. These registry edits were done pre-Active Directory when we used 
Zenworks.
- disable or set to manual automatic updates using a GPO
The new management software has its own agent so I don't need automatic updates

run updates for some reason.
Recommendations?

Basic hard drive config question, probably.

I have an old Dell PowerEdge 2600 which is my Exchange Server.  It has a
perc 4 controller with 2 channels.  Channel 0 has two mirrored drives
and channel 1 has three RAID 5 drives.  There is an extra drive bay that
I want to use as an independent drive (drive E:), but when I insert it
it becomes an unknown drive on channel 0.  It does not show up in
Windows Disk Management.

Is this something I can correct in the bios and if so, what do I need to
change?

 And since the primary competitor has still not embraced that model, it is

If I remember the Perc controllers correctly you need to go into the Dell array 
manager and create a logical disk for the 1 drive (silly since it's not really 
an array) After that windows should be able to see it.  It's been a few years 
since I worked with the Perc cards though so YMMV.

I have an old Dell PowerEdge 2600 which is my Exchange Server.  It has a perc 4 
controller with 2 channels.  Channel 0 has two mirrored drives and channel 1 
has three RAID 5 drives.  There is an extra drive bay that I want to use as an

Is this something I can correct in the bios and if so, what do I need to change?

RE: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU

2010-09-22 Thread Steven M. Caesare
1) It's be great if you actually answered the question. I deliberately made is 
simple and singular in order to make a point.

2) Your analogies serve to contradict: an auto sales person will do everything 
in their power to upsell you options, particularly at the time of purchase. 
When you return for service, they try again (Would you like the regular oil or 
the slick new Synthetic with the Incredion additive?). What makes you think 
the same Best Buy sales droid that tries to push the $75 HDMI cables on the 
poor sap who just bought a flatscreen is at the same time going to fail to 
mention a CPU upgrade?

3) Your argument seems to have shifted from being indignant over owning 
hardware you haven't paid to activate to one of fearing that the upgrade 
capability won't be effectively communicated to end uses. Does this indicate a 
change in your previous thoughts on the matter?

We are implementing the commercial version, altho I'm not a big fan...

Subject: OpenSource Network/Systems Monitoring

 

I know a lot of you use Nagios for your oss monitoring needs, but I'd
love to hear from people who have tested multiple products:

 

I'm looking to upgrade the monitoring at %WORK% from a combination of
Old SiteScope and some Zenoss, to one of the following:

*   OpenNMS -- http://www.opennms.org/ http://www.opennms.org/ 
*   Zabbix -- http://www.zabbix.com/
http://www.zabbix.com/download.php 
*   Hyperic --
http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring
http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring 

I don't want separate consoles for Servers and Network devices, as we do
today.  And I'm not so concerned about commercial support, although it
would be a plus to deploy an option that has both community support and
commercial support options.

 

I've used Nagios in the past, but I prefer to deploy and manage
something that is less finicky to initially configure -- especially
since I won't be managing it directly.

 

I don't care what platform it runs on.  I'll likely run it in a VM,
unless performance is horrid.   Here are some relevant stats:

*   ~250 Windows and Linux servers (85% / 15%)

*   -- 20% of the environment is virtualized (ESX/ESXi)
*   -- Windows = 2003  2008
*   -- Linux = Ubuntu

*   ~50 Network Devices (90% Cisco)
*   Currently, devices to be monitored are in 4 locations, including
the NOC, with 2 more to come online by year's end
*   Monitoring server can run on Linux or Windows -- no preference
*   Need agents (if supported) for Windows, Linux, and one Mac

 

Oh, and on a side note, I'm likely going to run whatever I pick for
%WORK% on my home network as well.

 

Thoughts, comments, etc?

The quality of this list goes up when the discourse (even the vigorous

 As long as Walmart doesn't say that the CPU is Quad-Core, but neglect

 If Walmart says that the CPU is dual core, 2GHz and supports VT, and
it
 costs $x, then why should anyone care that the CPU can do extra for
 additional payment.

I have an old Dell PowerEdge 2600 which is my Exchange Server.  It has a
perc 4 controller with 2 channels.  Channel 0 has two mirrored drives
and channel 1 has three RAID 5 drives.  There is an extra drive bay that
I want to use as an independent drive (drive E:), but when I insert it
it becomes an unknown drive on channel 0.  It does not show up in
Windows Disk Management.

Is this something I can correct in the bios and if so, what do I need to

 Given Intel's prowess in the market, I suspect if there's money to be made

  I disagree that the costs are being subsidized at the low end.  It
  costs less overall to manage the product as a single unit with
  unlockable features than a two separate products with hard coded
 features.
  And since the primary competitor has still not embraced that model, it
  is still possible for someone to compare the value of both the low end
  processor and the high one independently.  I'll very that both levels
  of consumer well get better pricing than before, even as Intel bags more
 profits.

RE: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU

2010-09-22 Thread Steven M. Caesare
Accessory/cable/warrantee sales at the big-box electronics stores kills me.

Buddy of mine recently asked me to help him buy a new flatscreen. (His 6-yr-old 
50 720P plasma which was top of the line in 2004, and for which he paid 
_$7,000_ for finally died).

We ended up finding a nice 60 Sharp Aquos that was open box at Best Buy (we 
talked them down to $1300.. not bad).

Anyway, he was also moving in to the world of digital connections now, and so 
we needed HDMI cables. I grabbed the cheapest 6-footers I could find at $30 a 
piece and grimaced... knowing I could get him a pair from monoprice for $8 ea. 
I told him as much, but he was really jazzed about the purchase, and the NFL 
opener was that weekend, so he was OK with the price. 

When the salesdroid tried to upsell me better cables, I gave him a little 
talking to about digital interconnects, and their performance. And their 
gouging^H^H^H^H^H^H^H pricing.

As it turns out, he had to wait for his wife, as they got a 12 month 
no-interest finance card and decided to replace their washer and dryer... he 
and I had to leave for an appointment, and she was going to complete the final 
payment after we left.. all the details were done.

Sure enough that sales dude convinced her  the cables I selected weren't going 
to handle the quality from the Blu Ray player and sold her some $60 jobs... but 
hey, they have nice shiny connectors and came in a  really nice box that has 
that fake velour-feeling stuff lining the plastic tray.

Arrgh.

 1) It's be great if you actually answered the question. I deliberately made is
 simple and singular in order to make a point.
 
 2) Your analogies serve to contradict: an auto sales person will do everything
 in their power to upsell you options, particularly at the time of purchase.
 When you return for service, they try again (Would you like the regular oil 
 or
 the slick new Synthetic with the Incredion additive?). What makes you think
 the same Best Buy sales droid that tries to push the $75 HDMI cables on the
 poor sap who just bought a flatscreen is at the same time going to fail to
 mention a CPU upgrade?
 
 3) Your argument seems to have shifted from being indignant over owning
 hardware you haven't paid to activate to one of fearing that the upgrade
 capability won't be effectively communicated to end uses. Does this indicate
 a change in your previous thoughts on the matter?

  I'm thinking it's more like you go to the local GM dealership and they
  sell you a Cadillac, and you drive out off the lot with one of those Kiddy
  Cadillacs and then the sales rep tells you, Oh, for an additional
  $1500 you can upgrade to a 'real' car. Based on who this seems to be
 marketed to (i.e.
  BestBuy Non-Geek users) I don't see the Best Buy sales associate
  saying Oh, yeah... buy this, and it'll do great...and if you want
  more performance, I can sell you an 'upgrade' for $75. I think that
  most folks who go to the electronics store or Wal-Mart are going to
  say heck, if this isn't the top of the line, I don't want it. I
  think this model is going to end up backfiring and causing confusion.
 
  The info on the display model says 15 Ghz CPU but it probably isn't
  going to say For an additional $75 you can get 17 Ghz. That would be
  confusing to the end user, I think.

The Zenoss config has not been suitably reliable, and the networking team in

I haven't ruled it out 100%, but we'd have to see rejection of Zabbix,

Re: It appears that the Symantec Virus has affected PGP already

2010-09-22 Thread Graeme Carstairs
Gotta love Symantec support.

we recently put in a client who would require Backup Exec 2010, 4 Remote
agents, 2 Echange Agents, 1 SQL agent and 4 hyper-v agents.

We installed the trial, and the backup failed constantly, with losing
communication to the tape drive.

Tape tested out with  HP LTT no issues.

So contacted Symantec for pre-sales support for approximately  £4,000 worth
of sale.

Symantec response You haven't bought the software or any maintenance
therefore no support.

Suffice to say we didn't buy the software and sold them DPM instead to run
off one of their old servers.

Not what the client wanted but they are happy in the end.

  performance? Thinking about the folks who go into Best Buy or WalMart to

 enable
  better performance.
 
  How is that going to help the end-user?

 As long as Walmart doesn't say that the CPU is Quad-Core, but neglect to
 tell you that you have to pay extra.

 If Walmart says that the CPU is dual core, 2GHz and supports VT, and it
 costs $x, then why should anyone care that the CPU can do extra for
 additional payment.

*shrug* This discussion has gone on for awhile and neither side is going to
be able to sway the other. I see no need to drag it out and keep it going
when we're just going to disagree. I've stated my position, I've tried
various examples to explain why I think it's a bad idea, and vice versa, but
neither side has budged their position. Why drag it out and risk getting
hateful over it?

 Here's something I thought of... Sure you'll be able to buy an unlock
 code, but will the end-user realize that they are getting the same
physical
 hardware as someone who pays more and know that they can unlock better
 performance? Thinking about the folks who go into Best Buy or WalMart to
 buy a new computer (this appears to be the market that this new feature
is
 aimed at.) My thought is that they're going to buy whatever is on the
shelf
 and not realize that they just need to buy an upgrade/unlock code to
enable
 better performance.

 How is that going to help the end-user?

As long as Walmart doesn't say that the CPU is Quad-Core, but neglect to
tell you that you have to pay extra.

If Walmart says that the CPU is dual core, 2GHz and supports VT, and it
costs $x, then why should anyone care that the CPU can do extra for
additional payment.

 It seems that's an advertising issue as opposed to a technical or am I

 Given Intel's prowess in the market, I suspect if there's money to be made
 with this model, they'll ensure it's effectively marketed.

 Do you know the Intel Inside campaign? Can you see the logo in your mind?
 Can you recognize the Intel chimes even if you don't see the commercial?

 I should think Intel Inside PLUS! shouldn't be too difficult.

  I disagree that the costs are being subsidized at the low end.  It costs
 less
  overall to manage the product as a single unit with  unlockable features
 than
  a two separate products with hard coded features.
  And since the primary competitor has still not embraced that model, it is
 still
  possible for someone to compare the value of both the low end processor
  and the high one independently.  I'll very that both levels of consumer

I know a lot of you use Nagios for your oss monitoring needs, but I'd
love to hear from people who have tested multiple products:

 

I'm looking to upgrade the monitoring at %WORK% from a combination of
Old SiteScope and some Zenoss, to one of the following:

*   OpenNMS -- http://www.opennms.org/ http://www.opennms.org/ 
*   Zabbix -- http://www.zabbix.com/
http://www.zabbix.com/download.php 
*   Hyperic --
http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring
http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring 

I don't want separate consoles for Servers and Network devices, as we do
today.  And I'm not so concerned about commercial support, although it
would be a plus to deploy an option that has both community support and
commercial support options.

 

I've used Nagios in the past, but I prefer to deploy and manage
something that is less finicky to initially configure -- especially
since I won't be managing it directly.

 

I don't care what platform it runs on.  I'll likely run it in a VM,
unless performance is horrid.   Here are some relevant stats:

*   ~250 Windows and Linux servers (85% / 15%)

*   -- 20% of the environment is virtualized (ESX/ESXi)
*   -- Windows = 2003  2008
*   -- Linux = Ubuntu

*   ~50 Network Devices (90% Cisco)
*   Currently, devices to be monitored are in 4 locations, including
the NOC, with 2 more to come online by year's end
*   Monitoring server can run on Linux or Windows -- no preference
*   Need agents (if supported) for Windows, Linux, and one Mac

 

Oh, and on a side note, I'm likely going to run whatever I pick for
%WORK% on my home network as well.

 

Thoughts, comments, etc?

Full rollout (260 systems) started last week, and I've had very little
success with the responses from tech support requests this month.

Clearly you aren't in to SM.

 

Next think you'll be telling us is that you don't find manually
configuring mode lines in an X Windows config file for some odd monitor
a relaxing way to spend an evening either

Subject: OpenSource Network/Systems Monitoring

 

I know a lot of you use Nagios for your oss monitoring needs, but I'd
love to hear from people who have tested multiple products:

 

I'm looking to upgrade the monitoring at %WORK% from a combination of
Old SiteScope and some Zenoss, to one of the following:

*   OpenNMS -- http://www.opennms.org/
*   Zabbix -- http://www.zabbix.com/
http://www.zabbix.com/download.php 
*   Hyperic --
http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring

I don't want separate consoles for Servers and Network devices, as we do
today.  And I'm not so concerned about commercial support, although it
would be a plus to deploy an option that has both community support and
commercial support options.

 

I've used Nagios in the past, but I prefer to deploy and manage
something that is less finicky to initially configure -- especially
since I won't be managing it directly.

 

I don't care what platform it runs on.  I'll likely run it in a VM,
unless performance is horrid.   Here are some relevant stats:

*   ~250 Windows and Linux servers (85% / 15%)

*   -- 20% of the environment is virtualized (ESX/ESXi)
*   -- Windows = 2003  2008
*   -- Linux = Ubuntu

*   ~50 Network Devices (90% Cisco)
*   Currently, devices to be monitored are in 4 locations, including
the NOC, with 2 more to come online by year's end
*   Monitoring server can run on Linux or Windows -- no preference
*   Need agents (if supported) for Windows, Linux, and one Mac

 

Oh, and on a side note, I'm likely going to run whatever I pick for
%WORK% on my home network as well.

 

Thoughts, comments, etc?

RE: Intel wants to charge to unlock features already on your CPU

2010-09-22 Thread Steven M. Caesare
The difference being, is that you don't tend to support your opinions (which 
you tend to assert strongly) with reason or facts. 

When given a solid reason that challenges your assertion, instead of addressing 
it, you alter the discussion, often using analogies that merely serve to 
re-state your existing opinion, rather than addressing the underlying challenge 
to your opinion.

In this case, multiple experienced people explained why this model would be 
beneficial to you. Yet, AFAIK, you didn't acknowledge any of those logic cases, 
and instead went for the overused car analogy, and then eventually shifted your 
argument to being concerned that the consumer wouldn't be adequately educated 
about the potential upgrade options (which is quite different than your initial 
concern).

You keep making assertions that don't stand up to facts and then bail.

Why?

RE: Switch opinions

2010-09-22 Thread Evan Brastow
Hi folks,

I just wanted to thank everyone for their (strong) opinions on switches. I 
ended up buying another HP ProCurve.

When I talked to HP support about my issue, their only suggestion was to update 
the firmware - not quite what I was hoping for, and it hasn't solved the issue, 
but one thing I've done in the meantime is buy a 24 port ProCurve and stick it 
in my server room and have all servers going through that. And I'm keeping the 
48 port ProCurve I have because I can't seem to determine with absolute 
confidence that it is the source of my issues with the SonicWALL. I think I'm 
up to about $5000 in consulting fees trying to solve this issue :)

Fun, fun!

Thanks again,

 What version of Zenoss? The free one?



 We are implementing the commercial version, altho I’m not a big fan… we’ve
 had some pain with it.



 I don’t want to derail your thread, but as an aside I’d be interested in
 knowing why you are moving away from Zenoss.

 I know a lot of you use Nagios for your oss monitoring needs, but I'd love
 to hear from people who have tested multiple products:



 I'm looking to upgrade the monitoring at %WORK% from a combination of Old
 SiteScope and some Zenoss, to one of the following:

- *OpenNMS *-- http://www.opennms.org/
- *Zabbix *-- http://www.zabbix.com/http://www.zabbix.com/download.php
- *Hyperic *--
http://www.hyperic.com/products/open-source-systems-monitoring

 I don't want separate consoles for Servers and Network devices, as we do
 today.  And I'm not so concerned about commercial support, although it would
 be a plus to deploy an option that has both community support and commercial
 support options.



 I've used Nagios in the past, but I prefer to deploy and manage something
 that is less finicky to initially configure -- especially since I won't be
 managing it directly.



 I don't care what platform it runs on.  I'll likely run it in a VM, unless
 performance is horrid.   Here are some relevant stats:

- ~250 Windows and Linux servers (85% / 15%)


- -- 20% of the environment is virtualized (ESX/ESXi)
   - -- Windows = 2003  2008
   - -- Linux = Ubuntu


- ~50 Network Devices (90% Cisco)
- Currently, devices to be monitored are in 4 locations, including the
NOC, with 2 more to come online by year's end
- Monitoring server can run on Linux or Windows -- no preference
- Need agents (if supported) for Windows, Linux, and one Mac



 Oh, and on a side note, I'm likely going to run whatever I pick for %WORK%
 on my home network as well.



 Thoughts, comments, etc?

Needing a good(fee) template for Certificate of Completion

2010-09-22 Thread Daniel Rodriguez
To all,

Needing a good site that has a ready to use template that has the standard,
legal sounding wording that someone has completed training.

You know... the Blah, Blah, Blah, this person has completed training on Such
and Such a date, etc.

Ideas? Could be Word, PowerPoint or Publisher. Just need the wording with
the ability to change it up a bit.
