Sys Admin Magazine Ceases Publication
keithl writes "I received a postcard in the mail today informing me that Sys Admin magazine has ceased publication. 'We regret to inform you that the magazine has ceased publication effective with the August 2007 issue.' Only paid subscribers with remaining issues receive this mailing. If you do nothing, they will send you a copy of the Sys Admin archive CD (1992 – August 2007), or you can return the card for a full refund of all unsent issues. The deadline to return the postcard for a refund is October 1, 2007." The magazine's Web site has no word that I could find on the closing down of print publication. -
Securing Wireless Networks with IPSEC and FreeBSD
GoldenScrewdriver writes: "A colleague of mine has written an excellent article on how to secure your wireless network using an IPSEC VPN tunnel, NAT, and a FreeBSD firewall. With the inherent weaknesses of WEP, I thought this article might be interesting to those who prefer some privacy on their wireless link." If this might fit your situation, you might also find this earlier article interesting as well. -
Configuring a FreeBSD Access Point
LiquidPC writes: "SysAdmin Mag has a great article on configuring a FreeBSD access point for your wireless network. In the article it goes over how to create an inexpensive access point, how to configure FreeBSD clients, and how to secure the whole setup." -
Run Your Firewall Halted for Extra Security
n8willis writes: "There's a great article over at the SysAdmin magazine site that presents a unique approach to improving network security: run your firewall in a halted state. This means runlevel 0; no processes running and no disks mounted, but with packet filtering still on. The author heard a rumor of this capability in the 2.0 series kernels, and he's managed to get it working in 2.2 as well." -

The Perl Journal Archive Back (and Online Too!)
mccormi writes "The Perl Journal is back. It's been rolled into Sys Admin Magazine as a quarterly supplement for the print publication. On the web side, the archive articles are all up now here. See articles from Vol 1 Issue 1 on regex by Tom Christiansen and cgi programming by Lincoln Stein" I'll take it any way I can get it. TPJ was one of just 5 publications I subscribe to (and 2 of them are comic books so I don't think that counts ;) -

Keeping Stuff Safe
jayson writes "This location has a good perspective on increasing security on systems. It focuses on FreeBSD but is applicable to all systems. " Its sort of a newbie's guide to not doing anything really stupid on your linux box (setuid, firewalls, a few other issues ranging from simple to moderately techie). If you aren't robo-super sysadmin, its probably worth a gander.
