Funny, my 'affectively disordered' virus scanner cleaned the virus on the fly. In fact, it works so well I accept that people just don't know the difference between effect and affect and I've just stopped bitchin about it.
I say cut it back some like the others but still go all out. I only have 50 email users but we're running spamassassin and virus scanning along with mailing lists. When someone sends an email to all of our employees, the load average can hit 4.5 or so. This machine is a PIII 750 with 512MB ram.
Besides, It's always nice to have the extra power available. I know I hate working with anything less than a Pentium II with 128MB ram just because they are slow to compile software or do other common administrative tasks.
Anyway, bottom line, go for it, the school will have something that runs for a very long time and will have room to grow into more and more duties.
Get a clue man and/or RTFA. EDR's don't give a damn what about your mp3/pr0n collection or if your a child molester. It's not about to phone home if if thinks your driving 60 in a 30 when maybe you're only doing 60 in a 75 zone. It just records the vehicle data it can at the time of an accident.
Everyone on here complaining about privacy issues need to get a grip and realize the privacy arguement just doesn't hold water. You were in an accident, everyone around can see that, it's obvious you just hit a car/tree/your own damned garage by the damage created. Things are worse for you if you left rubber on the ground. To me, using an EDR is probably hella easier than some guy spending a week recreating the crash and calculating the speed of a vehicle based on skid marks. But they can and I don't hear anyone bitching that their michelins leaving skid marks in the event of a crash is a privacy concern.
If it's the case your app hangs off of the document root such as http://server.com/application then you would edit the $base_fs_path to be like this instead:
Now, this of course much more useful if you use a single "controlling" script from which everything starts, which has been my current favorite. For me it works like this
Request comes in to/index.php?module=people&action=new
This would result in something like this
<?php// include the config// which of course defines base_fs_path
require_once("config.inc.php");
require_once($base_fs_path . "/modules/" . $_GET[module] . "/" . $_GET[action]);
?>
This is a bit of a crude representation of what I'm doing but it works well for me. Basically results in a stack of modules and index.php creates any required global vars and finishes up the page when the require_once scripts are done.
Sounds more like an installation problem. Every radio I've ever seen has a power lead and an ignition lead which tells the radio when the car is off. If anything, you could hook the power wire to any other ignition switched wire in the car, if you don't mind losing your radio presets and the clock all the time.
Seriously, if you had your radio professionally installed and it doesn't turn off with the car, they screwed up!
I've done both
on
SSH or IPSec?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I have used both SSH and FreeS/WAN IPsec to tie private networks together. My current setup brings together our two business locations. One location has a cable modem setup, the other DSL. Along with this, I create IPSec tunnels from my home to both locations, so that I can remotely manage those locations via vnc or what ever. My two Linux systems (both P166's) having been running for over 200 days with very few problems, it's been a true set it and forget (but remember it when someone calls;-)) it deal. If the Internet connection breaks between the two locations IPSec will usually self heal. If not, restarting IPSec at one location almost always clears it up
Because I wanted to tie entire subnets together, SSH was a huge pain in the butt (I used the PPP over SSH method). FreeS/WAN IPSec has been perfect for me allowing me to transfer files between subnets using just about all of the bandwidth available between the connections. Turning on compression helps a lot and works very well, I'm able to transfer a 20 meg file using compression in about 45% of the time it takes when not using compression.
If you're looking to connect roaming users, I suggest PPTP instead of SSH or IPSec. It has it's problems but works nicely for a Windows to Linux VPN. If you have the time and patience, you can get your Linux PPTP server to authenticate against a RADIUS server with PAM support.
SSH to me is for quick 'n dirty tunnels of one protocol at a time and for remote access. If you're looking for a good clean way to tie two or more locations together, then IPSec. If you have roaming Linux or Windows users, then PPTP is the best bet.
I really don't find FreeS/WAN IPSec difficult to get setup considering you can use previous connections as a template for making new ones.
The long answer is that anything written in C++ on Linux will load slow (but should run fairly quick once loaded) because of something to do with loading the C++ libraries and some other compiler gook. I can't remember where I read it, or how I found it on google, but aparently this will be fixed soon in glibc.
Of course, I could be WAY off, so if someone could back me up...
I actually have a script written to do exactly that. It was actually created to schedule and Real Video broadcast of sporting events at my University. And, if you don't like real media, it could easily be modified to start any program that could record from the audio card and encode it. It uses atd to schedule events and has proven extremely reliable (as most things in Unix/Linux do). atd is nice because it retains events even after reboot. If you're interested, drop me a line at ruedu-slashdot@hannah.homelinux.net and I'll see if I can get a copy sent off to you.
My thoughts exactly! Why not offer systems with a Linux distro instead, with directions on how to remove it if they don't want it. I'd rather buy a system with Linux on and generate money for someone else for a change. It's just a money machine for MS, and they know that if joe blow doesn't actually want windows, he'll remove it and leave it at that, even though they paid for a license of windows.
MS needs to find a different way to curb pirating if they think this is a valid solution. It's not the fault of Dell or any other computer seller. What the consumer does with the machine is not their responsibility.
What if I ordered a chevy without a radio, stole my neighbors AC/Delco and put it in my car, is it's chevy's fault for not forcing a shitty radio down my throat?
"I've disabled the HTR functionality on my IIS server. Do I need the patch?
The vulnerability results because of an arithmetic error in the ISAPI extension that implements the HTR functionality. Specifically, the error lies in a function that enables data to be uploaded to a web server via chunked encoding, and causes IIS to allocate a buffer of the wrong size to hold incoming data, with the result that the data could overrun the end of the buffer. "
I agree. I think a cable modem account should be per household. If I want to attach 200+ computers to it *within* my household behind NAT, what's the big deal? It's my house, my account, my problem if I have 200 computers sharing bandwidth and everything slows to a crawl.
Now, I can understand if I'm using NAT to share my cable connection with my neighbor. That's no different than splicing cable. Doesn't mean I don't do it, I just understand the company has the right to complain about it.
I know I have on our cableone network. I'm seeing up to 5.8k bytes per second of arp traffic. And considering how busy Sundays are I'm thinking the traffic will increase. I have pictures of the amount of traffic I'm getting at this place. I'm using iptraf and gkrellm.
We also use WebCT at Minnesota State University Moorhead for online testing, quizzing, chat, BBS, and grading.
We are currently running version 3.1.3 on a Dell Poweredge 2400 running RH 6.2 and software raid. The software runs very well on Linux and has been extremely stable in comparison to our old WinNT 4.0 SP6 system running version 2.2.
Running WebCT on Linux has allowed us to integrate the system with existing systems on campus such as email with very little hassle, something we couldn't accomplish using WinNT 4.0.
I have also heard of blackboard but never used it.
WebCT does offer a free trial of their software and it's extremely simple to install and to get running. You can download their software at http://v3trials.webct.com/freetrial/
Blackboard requires a registration keycode to use their software (no free trial) but you can find their site at http://www.blackboard.com/

I used to find that annoying too, now I just use this trick at the top of a file
a th . "/lib/file.php");
/index.php?module=people&action=new
// include the config // which of course defines base_fs_path
$base_fs_path = $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT];
require_once($base_fs_p
require_once($base_fs_path . "/lib/other.php");
