Re: [lopsa-tech] Air-Gapped Satellite Server?

I’ve used Spacewalk (http://www.spacewalkproject.org) which is a FOSS implementation of Satellite. For basic package and system management it’s a drop-in replacement. —Scott On 10/28/15, 4:02 PM, "tech-boun...@lists.lopsa.org on behalf of Allan West" wrote: >Mario, for the use case in qu

Give Security Onion a go: http://blog.securityonion.net/p/securityonion.html It's a good way to familiarize yourself with an IDS without having to go through the pains to install one from scratch. On 2/28/14, 11:25 AM, "Ali Sajid Imami" wrote: >At work, we have been tasked with setting us up

Re: [lopsa-tech] Linux antivirus query circa October 2013

I have had reasonable luck and performance with Microsoft's System Center Endpoint Protection. They recently released clients for Mac and most flavors of *nix. If you already have Windows licensing, I would say go for it. You can also manage the endpoints with SCCM. --Scott _

Re: [lopsa-tech] issue tracking

If you have something as basic as a spare Windows 7 desktop, I highly recommend Spiceworks: http://www.spiceworks.com/referrer/jhuscott They are working on a Linux port, but since Microsoft is a major sponsor I don't think it's a priority right now. That being said, it excels at ticket and in

. Keep in mind that this software is free to own but it will certainly cost you time to install, configure, and maintain. Make sure you calculate the TCO for your top solutions. Cheers. -- Scott Roberts On Jul 5, 2012, at 1:44 AM, "Debapriya Biswas" mailto:debapriya.bis...@gmail.c

Resara Server is another option. It is a drop-in Samba4-based Active Directory replacement and handles Kerberos. On Apr 28, 2012, at 8:40 AM, "Jeffrey Tadlock" wrote: > On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 9:26 PM, Brian J. Atkisson wrote: >> >> You really want to look at FreeIPA, http://freeipa.org, pa

I use paper for regular notes and a simple text file for frequently used commands. Paper is also quite handy for rack and network diagrams as you can always scan them as needed. Paper, for all of its drawbacks, is future-proof. And, if you use the right type of paper (acid-free) and ink (Unib

My observation is that 48V DC power is very efficient in the sense that you're not converting from AC.However, 48V power distribution is extremely inefficient over long distances, even the distance to wire up a datacenter. And, if you're thinking about having a 48V PDU at the end of each ro

I've been pretty happy with Opsview, which also allows you to create distributed monitoring hosts. As an example, you could have one master and two slave monitoring servers to divvy up the service checks. On Feb 3, 2012, at 10:08 AM, Chris Reisor wrote: > That sounds cool. I'm not sure if it
