Mesh Networking
Hello, Is there anyone on PLUG who has experience setting up Mesh Networking? looking for someone who can do some cost assessment and technological consulting. Feel free to respond to list or off, thanks! -jmz --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

If you're considering installing 9.10, I wouldn't. I'm going with 10.4, which has LongTermSupport. Just waiting for the dust to settle first. ;) -- -Eric 'shubes' --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Meant 10.4 - (already running 9.10). Didn't install initially because I wanted to make sure there weren't any hiccups in the weeks after the initial release. -- Jason Hayes --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
CloudLinux
Hey all, Just wondering if any of you have played around with CloudLinux ( http://cloudlinux.com) and what your thoughts and experiences with it may have been. -- Dan. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: CloudLinux
Cloud computing is like having sex in Time Square. Everything is viewable to everyone, but only those who are interested are going to delay their busy schedules to stop and see what is going on. As far as encryption goes, cracking it is only a matter of time and computing power. You may not be able to crack it in an amount time that makes the data usable or valuable; but, it is only a matter of time, before computing power cracking algorithms catch up and allow you to crack in seconds what was previously uncrackable in decades.

'CloudLinux', the CentOS downstream fork is not cloud computing, although in their marketing puffery, they position themselves as: 'CloudLinux is the only commercially supported OS designed specifically for the service provider market' -- http://www.cloudlinux.com/solutions/compare/ I call B*ll sh*t http://www.cloudlinux.com/support/index.php Serverity [sic; thus in the original] 1 2 Buiness [sic] days ... where: Severity One (Urgent) Catastrophic - OMG help me now. Includes loss of production, data and no workaround, major security breach. I'd be embarrased to have written that (putting to one side the spelling errors) advert PMman time to self-recovery is minutes to having the DRP back-up image fallback spinning and live, and depending on the care the instance owner took, and the depth of their purse, later fallback images. If one wished to buy 24x7x365, we already have trained staffing in place for 'truck roll' to the DC, know our pricing, and will consult and quote to serious inquiries. In most instances no truck roll is needed as we maintain out of band access to the backside network, have remotely controllable power and console access (KVM over IP backhaul to dedicated management servers), and there is not much other than re-plugging cables that we cannot do remotely .../ -- And opinions are like belly-buttons ... 'Everything is viewable to everyone' is laughably ignorant of the reality 3DES issued (giving ca 112 bits of symmetric cipher strength) because the horizon showed that governmental strength mechanical attacks were 'too close'. FIPS 140 is in the -2 update for just this reason, and to comply at the highest levels and to surmount obtaining a certification lab's 'sign-off' on the same costs on the order of tens of millions of dollars. But like RHEL and CentOS a person can obtain results to the FIPS level cited without the certification for little more than skull sweat and testing I just generated a 2048 strength public/private key pair (asymmetrical crypto) as the horizon to cracking that is not within my life expectancy. the number of atoms in the universe are less than the number of sequential stir guesses needed. Frankly, without a defect in the algorithms to permit ruling out wide swaths of the key-space, the universe runs out of power before current crypto properly done. OTP does not NEED hardware RNG's potted in epoxy as the early BellCore reference implementation showed The cyber ninja swat team operatives getting into the data center need to successfully get past: - fob based ACL 1 - fob based ACL 2 - all the cameras - hand geometry ACL 1 - hand geometry ACL 2 - outer cage 1 (fob based ACL) - inner cage door 1 (key locked ACL) ... each with continuous and redundant monitoring 'inside' the protected loop, and echoed to the outside DRP site to even get to anything [i.e., the physical layer attacks] more than they can get sniffing and journalling all the traffic in and out of a given IP for a 'corpus' to crack This is far, far more than we had at the Naval Ship R and D center during the Nixon administration, except we do not have armed Marine guards with loaded M-16's at port arms at the entry point at that long ago data-center. All I need to do is slow them down and be alerted All management of hosts at that DC are done through SSH and certificate backed SSL; there are partitioning and fire-breaks, and two discrete and isolated back side 'God network' network segment for control that simply does NOT go out of the locked cabinet; it is based on an implementation that passed the then CISP (now PCI) credit card data security assessment, conducted by the author of the v2 of that specification without any down-tick or question at all as to the Unix/Linux part of the data security model and implementation. The Windows side passed because of the use of physically isolated network segments, VPN tunnels, proxies for application isolation, and use of a doubly protected physical layer _Some_ cloud computing may be performed as a public promiscuity, but I assure that that generalization quoted at the top this post is not meaningful,
