  1. yeah suppose your right about the firewall, didnt engage brain... would make mail relaying and stuff more problematic for the tossers that tried tho.

    Couldnt we make it a much more closed competition... instead of just opening it to everyone at once... seems like a better idea, as youve much more control.

  2. Yeah im up for that :)

    Vmware is far from perfect though... as you'll always get one just exporting the VMware 'Drive' mounting it and copying out the encrypted file.

    having a seperate Inet connection, with a server and then a dedicated firewall.. only letting new connections IN, not out.. would stop the box being used for naughtynesses after penetration.

  3. Nice suggestion, however ive just started looking along the lines of the andrews filesystem maybe, as it caches content locally and also does file locking etc etc, updateing when it can back to the server. I think it only uses one port too, much nicer for tunneling than FTP.

    Appriciate the input tho.. Still open to any other hints or suggestions :)

    Cheers people :)

  4. Hey all,

    I setteth thee a challenge..

    I have numerous PC's Windows/various linux flavours/BSD boxes etc etc, and i work on whichever one i need depending on where i am, what im doing etc etc. I need a way to keep a section of each pc, like one DIR in sync with all the others, but also to allow for offline editing (when im on my laptop etc etc)

    I know windows does offline files in a domain environment, and that there are sync utils like RSYNC, but it isnt a topic i've really looked into, and so before i go a'googlein I thaught i'd ask here... as im sure a few of you have been in the same situation.

    Suppose this may sound like a n00b question, but its something ive never really wanted/needed untill now, so any help or useful comments will be appriciated.

    Cheers,

    Tx

  5. The third option for networking in VMWare is to make the VM a full member of the network, so if you knew a non-used IP within your network subnet, and the gateway/dns server addresses. This would be the best bet (for what stingwray was asking about port forwarding).. as then the vm would have its own IP, no port forwarding or natting needed :)

    (This can be done with VMware Server so im guessing the same will be for the player :).. however, if he cant install VMware this is pointless :P.. depends how deep his PC restrictions go)

  6. CentOS is a great thing if you ever need to impliment software just written for RHEL, there was whitebox before it, but yeah :) serves a perpose, debian is still MUCH more customizeable in my experience.

    I use CentOS just for the GFS and Cluster services support.

  7. VaKo, CentOS is basically the Redhat Enterprise Linux distro, with all references and images copyrighted to redhat removed, and therefore can be used free, fully GPL'ed.

    They even keep up with the redhat security patches and updates, so if you have server software that is meant to run on RHEL 4.0, it will run perfectly on CentOS4.

  8. Unless of course all your cluster nodes are the same hardware, then you can just image them / boot from lan..

    For a home cluster, as suggested before, you may want to try openMosix (or clusterknoppix is a live CD with it included)

    (at the time i played with it) cluster knoppix (openmosix) spread processes accross the cluster.... so if you have a program that creates multiple processes to handle one task... it will work well (Ie, encoding 12 audio tracks simultaniously starts up 12 processes to encode one track each) however, programs that do not have many processes will see little or no improvements from being in a cluster.

    The more advanced option is beowulf clusters.. which as i understand, can spread tasks amongst the nodes at the thread level, which allows much better performance on any type of program.... but i beleive it requires programs to be specially written or modified to be beowulf aware.

    Thats how i see it anyway, corrent me if im wrong someone.

  9. you may want to look at sslexplorer for easy web based secure tunneling server (free)

    ... and no... never face vnc to the world.. (specially after 4.0.1 ;P)

  10. Metatron's hit the nail on the head.

    Its funny, Its great... But it lacks advanced topics, L7 Inspection, Clustering, yeah.. that kinda stuff!

    And longer (or same length more frequent ;)) episodes.. with more sections (maybe your extra length could be found in this 'advanced' section?)
