My last two sets of cables arrived yesterday. Nothing quite like finally having a real KVM with decent cables. Now I can hop between machines with ease. I can even chain the Belkin KVM with another if I need another four ports. Very slick.
I don’t know what it is, but this happened last Spring too. For reasons unknown, any and all SSH sessions I open to the firewall end up dying when I try to do anything interactive, like run top or use tunnels. Last time this happened, I tried everything I could think of, but [...]
I grew bored with the default Solaris package management tools.

If you are upgrading to the new packages for OpenSSL 0.9.7d and OpenSSH 3.8.1p1, privilege separation is now compiled in by default and you must follow the steps outlined on SFW or OpenSSH will not start. It’s helpful to be aware of this before you proceed with the installation as opposed to afterwards.

Posted to LARTC:
Mentioned back in December on this list, I have been playing with an Net-SNMP
extension[1]. Not being much of an RRDTool person, I setup a Perl script

database every five minutes. (Is that too little resolution?)

I can’t think of a better place to test to mess with traffic shaping on router than tunneling HTTP and AIM over the Danted SOCKS proxy server whilest SSHing into the router itself. Fun. Digital Downtown is alive and well, it seems, even on my cheap Linksys WPC11v3.
Buyer beware. softwareandstuff.com, also known as surpluscomputers.com, bait and switched me on a recent 3Ware Escalade ATA RAID card purchase. They claimed to be selling a UDMA 100 3Ware card, which they did not identify further. However, the card they shipped me was a much older 5000 series Escalade that is not [...]
I took some time to play with my Omni View SE today. While it is a little old, it’s still a solid device. It has multiple inputs on the rear, including all the inputs for the console, unlike cheaper KVMs that have some or all of the console inputs on the front. [...]
I have been messing with IPP2P and CLASSIFY, both extensions for Netfilter and IPTables. I have a functional shaping configuration that works better than when I was using tcng in about a fiftieth of the time.
