    just FYI, most european mobile operators (or at least the one I know) have such systems in place (commercial ones).

  3. Yes on 15k RPM IDE Hard Drives? · · Score: 2

    As you said in your comment before your question.
    It's called a SCSI drive.

    For example, here, a 18G 10k RPM SCSI drives cost about the same prive as a 40G IDE 7200 RPM. Warranty of 5 years instead of 1, MTBF of 1-2 Mh instead of 500 kh. And it's even faster.

  4. 'got one on PCI RAM Extender Cards? · · Score: 2

    Well, sort of.

    It's an IBM MCA expansion board which supports 4 EDO-RAM.

  5. PAM on Single Sign-On for Integrated Open-Source Apps? · · Score: 2

    That's it.

    Already integrated into solaris and linux.
    Lots of apps supports it.
    It also support many scheme of authentication, from simple passwd file to NT logon / SecureID / biometrics (ugh).

  7. Re:so when on Sony Ericsson Makes a tri-band GPRS modem · · Score: 4, Insightful

    maybe ericsson is also a big mobile network equipment supplier ?

    for the DECT+GSM, they were one of the few (with SAGEM) to make a dual standard phone. Unfortunately, both discontinued their product some years ago.

    in fact, DECT could be far worse for mobile phone operators than 802.11. It's quite easy to make an ad-hoc network of dect phones ... do you really thing that any supplier or service provider wants that ?

    I'm somehow curious, but IP over what ?

    I always thought DSL was over some sort of ATM

  10. Re:PPP on Using DHCP for Authentication? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yep, because it adds a new encapsulation layer, so, for the same end user bandwith, it needs more real raw bandwith.

    BTW, what was used before PPPoE ?

  11. PPP on Using DHCP for Authentication? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    See the subject.

    It can assign ip adress, includes secure scheme for authentifications, well implemented, easily integrated with radius for more advanced stuff (DB, accounting, ...). It works over almost anything (ethernet, atm, ...).

    that was not a funny post !

    with a 18 db antenna on the roof of a building there're something like 50 APs available. And wlan equipment is more expensive on this side of the atlantic.

  14. winbind on Synchronizing Forced Password Changes? · · Score: 5, Informative
    winbind may be a possible solution : your unix boxes authenticate to the NT domain

    Winbind is an nss switch module to map Windows NT Domain databases to Unix.

    In combination with Samba and pam_ntdom, a Unix box will be able to integrate straight into a full Windows NT Domain environment, without needing a Unix Account database.

    Use of pam modules (pam_smb, pam_ntdom) also works (on pam systems like linux or solaris) very well.

    I know of a large company that's getting ready to release a huge patch to ACID to actually optimize its SQL usage, bringing performance for large-scale snort deployments up to a reasonable level.

    What if some people would be interested in that optimisation ? (what is the actual status of that)

  17. Re:Interesting challenge on Using Snort Stealthily · · Score: 2
    If you have redundant firewalls or multiple paths to the Internet you already have a switch there so you can connect all the interfaces on a common segment.

    Usually, the point of having redundancy is to avoid single point of failure. If you connect your multiple path to a single switch, then you may have problem because you rely on a single piece of hardware.
