    Already two people have called on your bulshit who get way faster speeds than you claim the industry is 'restricting' things to

    And they are not "the common man". Honestly, I don't know where OP got the "common man" schtick from, but his average speed is out of date, the numbers released this summer show that first quarter average broadband speed was 8.6 Mbps, a 27 percent year-over-year increase.

    Sorry, but even that is still a far cry from your outliers with 50mbps connections. Enjoy your downloads though, but don't mind the rest of us asking for the same.

    Yeah, I figured you had never heard of Houston. Can you even find Texas on a map? Here's a hint: it's not the largest state. It's also not near Maryland, which is where the OP lives. Can you find Maryland on the map?

  3. Since when? by ArhcAngel · · Score: 2 · on Lenovo Could Take Over RIM

    Since when does “We are looking at all opportunities -- RIM and many others,” automatically translate into "We are taking over RIM"? Seeing how countries are treating ZTE and Huawei in the network space Lenovo would be crazy to buy RIM (Everyone knows RIM has a global network infrastructure right?). It does however make a lot of sense to partner with them to offer devices outside of RIM's current core.

    If you do decide to go with an Active Directory, I found that using Winbind was an extremely easy way to have my Samba server authenticate my users from the AD. It was up and running in no time and it's been rock solid ever since.

    One thing to remember is to use Group Sharing when setting folder permissions on the *nix box. That was an easy one to overlook until users started asking why they couldn't open each others files!

  5. Start Here by thunderpaws · · Score: 1 · on Research Group Pushes to Ban Skype

    There are links from InfoTech's site that pretty much lead to the truth. In a nutshell, Microsoft last week bought purchased media-streams.com, and "In August, Microsoft bought Teleo, a developer of VoIP, PSTN termination and click-to-call technology, which can be used to bring VoIP to the IM space." TFA is simply a typical FUD campaign from MS and its partners. Microsoft's implementation of VOIP with thier revamped IM in Office will, of course be safe and secure, and this is another reason why it is so important to continue in the forced upgrade cycle of proprietary software. Looks like microsoft is taking on 'eBay' as well as 'Google', not to mention the whole FOSS community.

  6. Petty and un-ethical! by exaviger · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Research Group Pushes to Ban Skype

    This sounds like a direct attack on skype

    Replace the word skype with virtually any other software and the article would still be valid.

    I feel sick when i read such articles and I feel even sicker when an article like this http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsp/ar ticle.php/3563226 gets relased at virtually the same time.

    I am not a conspiracy theory kind of guy, but why the sudden noise about skype's insecure desgin using the http protocol to work over NAT at the same time that Microsoft and Cisco find a way for SIP to work "securely" over NAT?

    Call me paranoid but I find this very weird!

  7. Re:Documentation...? by Azureflare · · Score: 1 · on Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager
    Sure thing, I'm pretty sure I know all the steps. Getting SSH to get going was a pain, but after some googling I got it eventually. (lemme tell you, it's not hard to find info about AD integration with samba... but it is hard to find info that works!) I think I'd want to set up another test box so I can test going through all the steps again before I release the documentation of how I did it. Basically the core steps are to make sure you have kerberos installed (as well as the pam authentication modules), and winbind etc.

    I found the easiest step to be authenticating against the AD server. Once you set up the /etc/krb5.conf file properly, you can add the linux machine as a member of the domain (using kinit domainuser@DOMAIN.COM, and then doing net ads join). Remember that the DOMAIN.COM needs to be in all caps when doing kinit, I tried doing lowercase and it didn't work (same thing for specifying the realm in the krb5.conf file).

    After that you need to make sure the winbind conf is set up properly. This varies from distro to distro; in Suse Enterprise Server 9 this was just in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

    Then you have to change all the lines in /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/sshd and /etc/pam.d/jabberd (depending on what you want to authenticate against AD with). I actually haven't set up jabber yet since I was updating the tons of patches from the initial 9 install to SP2. (I didn't realize SP2 was even out but the online updates said it was SP2.. oh well).

    I can post all my relevant conf files on my journal if you want, let me know. Take note that a lot of what I did is specific to Suse, so it may be slightly different for other distros.

    Some of the links I used are here:
    Join Linux to Active Directory with Winbind
    Active Directory Samba
    Linux and Active Directory
    Samba and Windows 2003 Active Directory Integration ---- A good reference for kerberos authentication (though there are many more out there via google).

    There were some other pages I used that aren't in the bookmarks on this machine, but those should be helpful... There is some out of date info on some of them, and some of the examples don't work (I found the pam_stack.so references in pam.d did not work _at all_ in suse enterprise server).

    HTH.

    How To Do A Virus Scan With Knoppix
    Starting with 3.4, it comes with a f-prot installer. It scans and cleans viruses, except not on NTFS, it only tells you if your NTFS partition is infected, which it probably is. Because Linux NTFS support is still unreliable. But the advantage is you scan from a known clean disk and the latest virus definitions. And it's free.
