  1. Kerberos FTP on Sending Files w/o Sending Clear Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I've never used it, or even looked at it, but perhaps something like a Kerberized FTP. You may want to try different encryption protocols for scp/ssh. SSH defaults to using IDEA for encryption, which is 64% of non-encryption speed. You can switch to Blowfish, which runs at 88% non-encryption speed. Just use the -c option with ssh/scp. And finally you can look at an unsecured file transfer, such as stock FTP, over IPSec. Check out FreeS/WAN if you are using Linux.

  3. Cacti on Monitoring Your Unix Boxen? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been extremely impressed with Cacti for statistic monitoring. It can be found at: http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/ It's quite easy to set up, and for larger sites, it has an excellent user privilege system.

  4. XMLMind on WYSIWYG Editor for DocBook DTD Content? · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ Not sure what the license is.

    I believe with ext3, you can journal the structure and the data.

    First, you'll want to disable the periodic filesystem checks with this commands (ref. http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/ext3-5.h tml#ss5.4):
    tune2fs -i 0 /dev/hdxx

    Then, by using the right journaling mode, you can have it journal your data as well.. I believe putting the option ournal=data is what you want.
