If you are receiving this message, your email has been transfered from the old members@nysa.org list server to the new members@list.nysa.org list. The new NYSA list server has three primary lists (ANNOUNCE, MEMBERS and TALK) and deliveries are processed in in a hierarchal order. Messages to ANNOUNCE are also delivered to MEMBERS and TALK. Messages to MEMBERS are also delivered to TALK. ANNOUNCE is moderated; and, only subscribers to MEMBERS and TALK can post to those lists. So, if you don't want to miss a bit, subscribe to TALK; in addition to TALK posts, you'll get everything from the ANNOUNCE and MEMBERS lists. You'll be able to post to both MEMBERS and TALK. To skip the informal chat that may come up in TALK, but still participate in discussions, subscribe to MEMBERS; you'll also get ANNOUNCE posts. (If you're reading this you are probably already subscribed to MEMBERS. Please change your address book to reflect the new list address!) You can skip the MEMBERS discussion and just subscribe to ANNOUNCE for meeting and special event postings. ANNOUNCE may also be suitable for redistribution within your organization. There is also a JOBS list. You can find all the current details here http://www.nysa.org/mail.html The Lists ANNOUNCE, a low volume, moderated list for official NYSA announcements. Posts to ANNOUNCE are also distributed to to MEMBERS and TALK. Subscribe to ANNOUNCE if you only want to be notified of meetings and events. subscribe: announce-subscribe@list.nysa.org post: announce@list.nysa.org MEMBERS, a moderate to low volume, open list (subscriptions required for posting) for focused discussion on topics of interest to Systems Administrators. Use TALK for informal discussion. Posts to MEMBERS are also delivered to TALK so there is no need to subscribe to both. subscribe: members-subscribe@list.nysa.org post: members@list.nysa.org TALK, a moderate to low volume, open list (subscriptions required for posting) for both technical and informal discussion of interest to NYSA members. Subscription will also enable you to post to MEMBERS. subscribe: talk-subscribe@list.nysa.org post: talk@list.nysa.org JOBS, a moderated list submitted by web form (not yet functional) and/or email for the posting of openings of Systems Administration related positions in the try-state area; or, from companies willing to relocate people from this area. Recruiters, please so state. subscribe: jobs-subscribe@list.nysa.org post: jobs@list.nysa.org BTW - I have some unconfirmed information that there IS going to be a NYSA meeting on the second Wednesday, Oct 13, at Sun Microsystems, so keep your calendar open!

PLEASE remember to RSVP, details below. MEETING DETAILS from http://www.nysa.org/meetings.html DATE Wednesday, Oct 13th, 2004 6:30 pm to 6:45 pm - Announcements 6:45 pm to 7:45 pm - Main Presentation 7:45 pm to 9:00 pm - Open Floor SPEAKER Steven M. Bellovin received a B.A. degree from Columbia University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While a graduate student, he helped create netnews; for this, he and the other perpetrators were award the 1995 Usenix Lifetime Achievement Award. He joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1982. Despite the fact that he has not changed jobs, he is now at AT&T Labs Research, working on networks, security, and why the two don't get along, as well as related public policy questions. He is an AT&T Fellow and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Bellovin is the co-author of ``Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker'', and holds several patents on cryptographic and network protocols. He has served on many National Research Council study committees, including those on information systems trustworthiness, the privacy implications of authentication technologies, and cybersecurity research needs; he was also a member of the information technology subcommittee of an NRC study group on science versus terrorism. He was a member of the Internet Architecture Board from 1996-2002; he is currently the co-director of the Security Area of the IETF. TOPIC "Realistic Security" Many security systems fail, not for technical reasons but because they fail to take into account the way people really use computers. A realistic security policy may not be the theoretical best; in the real work, though, it's likely to do far better. We present some examples of things that have been done wrong in the past, along with suggestions for improvement. ***NEW LOCATION*** Sun Microsystems Inc Forth floor 101 Park Ave New York, NY 10178-0001 RSVP Please RSVP by sending an e-mail to rsvp@nysa.org with a subject line of "AUTO RSVP NYSA firstname lastname".

This only seems to happen when the receiving end uses postfix (gmail, yahoo and exchange are okay) and doesn't happen when messages are sent from the box, directly to the postfix box with the problem. It would seem postfix doesn't like something about the list headers and is introducing the blank line. Not sure how to solve the problem without member's help. If you are getting this okay from a different mailer than mentioned above; or if you are having a problem and your MTA is not postfix, PLEASE let me know. If you have any idea what could be causing this, PLEASE let me know. If you would like to experiment, send a message to these addresses: test-subscribe@list.nysa.org test2-subscribe@list.nysa.org and use those accounts. TEST and TEST2 are setup exactly as MEMBERS and TALK accept with only a few subscriptions. I've attached a message from a Yahoo account to TEST, received by a gmail account subscribed to TEST2, example of message with no problem. There is a ctrl-M on most, not all lines, that kinda points to the profile of the problem, but I don't think it's related -- gmail seems to do that on lines it doesn't write. I look forward to your reply! // George On Wed, Oct 06, 2004 at 03:12:53PM -0400, George Georgalis wrote: >For reasons I can't really explain, it would seem a blank line was >getting in the header while ANNOUNCE mail was distributed to >MEMBERS... but only for people other than myself. > >I wasn't able to reproduce it but I've changed the algorithm a bit and >I'll be happy if it all works. > >// George > >On Tue, 5 Oct 2004 18:50:13 -0400, George Georgalis wrote: >> >> Yep.

Who: Our speaker will be Steve Bourne. Date: Thursday, 14 October 2004 Time: 6:30 pm Location: Columbia University in the City of New York Exact Location: Somewhere in the Engineering Buildings, which lie in the Northeast part of the campus of Columbia University. We will place signs at the Gate at 116th Street and Broadway, and also near the Engineering Buildings. These signs will tell the exact location. Subway: The 1 and 9 trains stop at 116th Street and Broadway, the Columbia University stop. Official Directions to Columbia University: http://www.columbia.edu/about_columbia/directions.html We will gather for food and drink after the meeting, location to be determined at the meeting. This meeting of LXNY is free and open to the public. About the speaker: S. R. Bourne is the designer and author of the Bourne Shell. The shell is a principal part of the operating environment of the UNIX Operating System. It is both the command interpreter and a programming language. The Bourne shell was the first widely used UNIX shell, is often known as "the shell" (sh) and is still itself in wide use today as are its descendents, the compatible shells (ksh, zsh and bash). Bourne is the author of the ADB debugging tool. Bourne is also the author of "The UNIX System", one of the better books on UNIX. Steve Bourne recently served as elected President of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an international organization founded in 1947, that is one of the two venerable very large professional organizations in the computer field in the USA. In addition to Bell Telephone Laboratories, Bourne worked at senior engineering management positions at Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI). Steve Bourne's description of the talk: "The talk begins with the early days of UNIX from the speaker's own experience at Bell Labs and discusses some of the key advances made including the shell. Some of the shell innovations will be discussed including some of the challenges faced introducing it to the user community. "The second part of the talk is devoted more to the speaker's recent experience at El Dorado Ventures where he is currently CTO. This part will discuss the role of Venture Capital, what makes a good VC presentation and why some things get funded and others do not. It wraps up with the elements of a good business plan and some anecdotes on companies that have failed." LXNY thanks the Columbia University Chapter of the ACM for their generous assistance in hosting this meeting on short notice and in the midst of their other activities including the programming contest and the NYCBUG meeting at Columbia, Saturday 16 October 2:00 pm with Marshall Kirk McKusick and Eric Allman as speakers! http://www.cs.columbia.edu/acm Please feel free to copy this notice to any person or any suitable list.

Instead, we are organizing a holiday party with New York PHP and a number of other user groups in New York. I want to encourage everyone to register ASAP. We have a good base of sponsors, and over 140 people registered, but the sooner we get the bulk of NYC*BUG members signed up the better. We will have to have a cut-off point some time. . .And only those who have registered will be contacted as to the event location in the weeks before. Also, I have emailed a number of people offlist about sponsoring opportunities. I want to encourage all with the influence at their firms to consider sponsoring the event. We are looking to make this holiday party annual, and without doubt sponsoring costs will increase for first-timers each year. I don't have the full list of current sponsors, but among them are O'Reilly and Associates, CMP Publishing, Pilosoft, Penguin Netwerx and BSD Mall/Daemon News. Again, the url to register or to get more information about sponsoring is at: http://nyphp.org/nytchp.php Feel free to contact me or Hans (hans at nyphp dot com) offlist for any additional questions. g _______________________________________________ Announce-nycbug mailing list Announce-nycbug@lists.nycbug.org http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/announce-nycbug ----- End forwarded message ----- -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator Linux BSD IXOYE http://galis.org/george/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:george@galis.org -- (converted from members/archive/0/16) -- From bogus@does.not.exist.com Wed Feb 7 12:08:06 2007 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Wed Feb 7 12:08:05 2007 Subject: Solaris 10 free license...

New York PHP and the New York City *BSD User Group are proud to announce the first annual New York Technical Community Holiday Party. This is not a PHP or BSD only event, and will include participants from many technology sectors, including Java, Linux, Perl, and .NET. We're working hard to make this event embrace all technologies - not only open source - and our goal is to combine free and commercial software in one professional networking event. Flagship sponsors New York PHP and NYC*BUG are bringing together hundreds of technical professionals from the New York metropolitan area for the New York Technical Community Holiday Party. By uniting diverse skills and interests, open source professionals, IT managers, and top authors and speakers, this event begins a new era in technical, business, and social networking. Participants from large corporations, small businesses, universities, non-profits, and user groups are all invited to attend and bring significant others, co-workers, and friends to this unique event. Get a chance to connect with colleagues and share experiences with others from your industry. Publishers, leading hardware / software vendors, and local businesses and organizations will be there, providing giveaways, presentations, and meetings. Enjoy a free night of presentations from top authors and speakers, talking with vendors, and networking in a relaxed social environment with food and drink. Bring your business cards to exchange and for raffle opportunities.

The critical questions he'll have are size of room, whether humidity controls are required (for larger sites to control static), and how many BTU the computers generate or their wattage which can be translated to BTU less accurately.

Hello folks, Welcome to the first BSDCan 2005 announcement of the year. BSDCan 2005 will be 13-14 May 2005. There will be related events on the 12th and the 15th (of a social nature, for the most part). Paper submissions have been steady since the announcement went out in December. This is a reminder that the closing date for papers is 19 January 2005. If you have an idea for a paper, please let us know. If you have suggestions for who you would like to hear speak, please tell us and we'll approach them. The FreeBSD project will be holding a developer summit just before BSDCan 2005. We will be providing space for the developers and look forward to their participation in the conference. If your project is also interesting in meeting up at BSDCan 2005, please let us know and we'll see what we can arrange for you. In our next announcement, we will have updated accommodation costs and conference pricing. We expect prices to be close to those of last year.

Can anyone provide referrals > for the AC designing work? The office is near Hartford CT. Basic math for you. One computer: 150Watts/hour heat dissipation (basic PC. Bigass suns or xeons will take more). One BTU is 3.4 watts/hour One Ton of AC cooling: 12000 BTU 30 computers = 150*30 Watts/hour = 4500 W/hr = 15300 BTU = 1.2 tons. Your architect should be able to find a mechanical contractor who could direct larger duct from the AC to the computer room. Failing that, specify 5 ton standard office AC, and buy 2ton movingcool.com unit and exhaust the heat from movingcool into the plenum. I don't see anyone actually using computer room exhaust for heating... -alex -- (converted from members/archive/0/24) -- From bogus@does.not.exist.com Wed Feb 7 12:08:06 2007 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Wed Feb 7 12:08:05 2007 Subject: LTO labels, free Message-ID: I have 800 Tri-Optic LTO (gen 1, not gen 2) tape labels that were printed for us in error.

What you want to do is relatively straightforward with ipsec using distinguished name rather than ip address for your security association. M$oft appears to have something by a similar name, but the functionality does not appear to mirror ipsec. All of this appears to be changing with w2003 as it seems that ipsec is now included, though I have not researched this. The documentation at M$oft.com seems to indicate so. Still searching... -Jeff At 03:10 PM 3/1/05, you wrote: >I'm past urgency stage, an external audit is coming up and I must finish >documentation in addition to other technical issues. > >...Connecting to the linksys rv042 vpn by ipsec has been >elusive.

He maintains many of the applications which run on this peculiar platform and will provide some insight to the inquisitive as to what this combo can do. Mickey has contributed heavily to the CARP project which has become such a success. It is hard to find some code which Michael has not at least influenced in OpenBSD. He seems to be dextrous on any hardware platform and is equally well versed in PCI as he is SCSI. Mickey is readily available on the message lists and is always happy to help impart some of his vast networking knowledge to beggars and sysadmins with a smile (; You can read more about OpenBSD on PA-RISC at http://openbsd.org/hppa.html * * * * * NYC*BUG tshirts will also be in. We will be selling them for $15. Each has the NYC*BUG logo on the left front breast, and a customized dmesg trailing down the back of the shirt. Anyone who donates $50 or more to the OpenBSD Hackathon Fundraiser will receive a tshirt for free. These tshirts are hot. And supporting the OpenBSD Hackathon Fundraiser, which is responsible for so many innovations in *BSD Land and beyond, is hotter. * * * * * BSDCan will be held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on May 13-14th, 2005. You can get more information at http://www.bsdcan.org/2005/. Last year was the first, and a good number of NYC*BUG members attended. It was a brilliant conference and many are looking forward to this years. -- (converted from members/archive/0/30) -- From bogus@does.not.exist.com Wed Feb 7 12:08:06 2007 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Wed Feb 7 12:08:05 2007 Subject: UNIGROUP Announcement: 17-MAR-2005: Solaris 10 Post-Release Event at Sun Message-ID: The following is NOT an NYSA Event and is posted here in case of interest.

Greg, That was very good information. Prior to purchasing the RV042, I researched the linksys website, various discussion lists and concluded the RV042 provided the requirement (windows, et al remote vpn access) and had no additional benefit than 8 lan ports vs 4. The references to the Linksys_QuickVPN_1028.exe client has been elusive, I've only seen it first in your email, and a search turned up discussion postings where people where having (probably unrelated) trouble. The only place the vpn client is mentioned in linksys literature is the RV082 user guide. But the most valuable bit of information is page 54 (63 actual) of the RV082 user guide pdf where it references the "VPN Client Access" sub tab of the VPN tab settings options. In that setting screen is a "VPN Client Users" dialog, where you can specify users/passwords etc for vpn access. That subtle bit of instructions is the *only* place I've seen reference to a major feature of the rv082 that sets it apart from the rv042 (aside form the extra ports). In all the product literature for the rv082 and rv042 they advertise VPN capability, but nothing to differentiate the VPN features of the two units. In a nutshell, roaming clients requiring vpn connect to the rv042 must complete an extensive and difficult (error prone) configuration. Which I was never able to successfully execute and you can read here: http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=207 Configuring IPSec between a Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP PC and a Linksys VPN Router After asking many technical people about a solution, the answer has always been you can use OpenVPN; but the rv042 should do fine for dedicated hardware. Even when linksys technical support was contacted by phone no indication that a client for (and only for) the rv082 was available was made. The best information from linksys was, your VPN appears setup correctly and we don't support the windows configuration. Today, after studying the rv082 manual and determining it has a VPN setting screen (VPN Client Users) not available with the rv042, which is the solution to "idiot proof" vpn client setup (not that the clients are idiots but they have better things to do than instructions above which I could not complete successfully), I called technical support explained the problem and posed the question why isn't this described in marketing literature. I was then navigated to download the rv082 user guide to see how the feature was described. :) // George >-----Original Message----- >From: George Georgalis [mailto:george@galis.org] >Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 6:11 PM >To: jobs@list.nysa.org >Cc: members@list.nysa.org >Subject: need help asap, will pay, ms vpn client > > >I'm past urgency stage, an external audit is coming up and I must finish >documentation in addition to other technical issues. > >...Connecting to the linksys rv042 vpn by ipsec has been >elusive.

NOT at IBM. WHAT ? Linux and BSD Virtualization with Xen Xen is an amazing technology that brings rock solid virtualization to white-box PC's everywhere. Unlike other forms of virtualization on Linux, Xen allows for multiple operating systems to both be run and managed efficiently. Xen has recently gained much support from the likes of Redhat, Novell/SuSE, AMD, Intel, IBM, and HP. The workshop aims to discuss the following: * An introduction to virtualization * Installing Xen * Installing Linux/BSD clients into a Xen system * Using advanced features of Xen (live migration, etc) * Best practices in a virtualized environment Time permitting, other possible topics will include: * RAID strategies with Xen * Don't dive! The entopy pool seems empty! * SpamAassassin: Killing spam and virtualization * Running UML under Xen * (more if I can think of them along the way) PRICE ? Free WHO ? Sunny Dubey will be the speaker. Sunny is an avid fan of Linux and Open Source in general. He is an officer of NYLUG, and a management major at Polytechnic University. CONTACT ? Sunny Dubey: sdubey at nylug dot org 718 216 0722 WHEN ? 6:30 PM Monday, April 4th WHERE ? The "Winter Garden" in the World Financial Center of lower Manhattan (Very *lovely* area).

Yarema, yds at coolrat dot org, will give an in-depth tutorial on how he maintains the Courier port to FreeBSD. Yarema has worked out kinks with getting Postfix, Mulberry, and some Ruby libraries to build consistently and easily.

The system is setup there but we don't yet have a good way to reach a land-line in the USA. Another option we are considering is 3u rack space at a facility with telco available, we would get a t-1 flow, and terminate ourselves. Looking for a contract that can provide up to 100,000 minutes a month, but presently the requirements are much lower. The options I see are, - termination services, via net - share a flow, of an underutilized system and termination - rackspace and share an underutilized flow - rackspace and buy a t-1 flow but there may be other ways.

Any suggestions? I think you are confused. I don't know what you call a 'flow' anyway. We can provide USA termination at 1.3c/minute. We can provide colocation in our facility, we can provide TDM handoff to your equipment, it all depends how do you want to do things.

I'm not entirely sure, but a flow as it was explained to me is the common term for the last mile of a telco connect, much like a data T-1 in capacity, but used for voice data trunking. >We can provide USA termination at 1.3c/minute.

Message-ID: Here's the story. I've been working w/ Part-15.org, which is an association of WISP (Wireless ISP's), and they have been coordinating volunteers to go into the affected areas to do tech work, to try to get shelters online, VOIP up, etc. http://www.part-15.org/emergencyrelief/katrina.html The current release is below, since it hasn't been posted to the site yet, but in short, they've been working w/ the FCC, FEMA & the Red Cross. It looks like the Red Cross may take our help, and we may need any kind of computers that can be transported down there, to set up kiosks for folks to get online. I'm currently signed up to go, if they need me, but thought that I'd ask y'all if you had any laptops in your office that are awaiting retirement, or some such. I'm not sure if desktops will be helpful, but they might... I just figured i'd ask the list in case anyone had a bunch of older, operational laptops... They also need various other gear, from routers to VOIP phones, etc.. but you can go to the website, and offer it up. (or talk to me for more info..) I have no idea how we're going to get the NYC folks out to the affected areas yet, so we might be able to bring anything given, if we know about it. Many of you are senior folks at your companies.. and I'm hoping you can manage to get this in the ear of someone that might be able to help. They expect to know more today, but hey.. it's worth the asking. Oh- they aren't a 501c3, but they are something similar for *buisness write offs* , and there is a way to donate to another org that will get the cash to the same folks on the ground, that's working with them.Check their website for more, in the FAQ on relief stuff. ---- PART-15.ORG Volunteers Closer To Being Tasked With Supporting Hundreds of Red Cross Relief Shelters Throughout US Aurora, Illinois, September 5, 2005 At 10:30 PM Central Daylight Time this evening, PART-15.ORG Chairman Michael Anderson received the phone call that he, and hundreds of volunteer Wireless Internet Service Provider personnel had been waiting for. Earlier this evening, FCC personnel, and Dr. Robert Pepper of Cisco Systems presented PART-15.ORG's Capabilities and Analysis documents, together with PART-15.ORG's extensive and detailed database of donated equipment and volunteers to American Red Cross personnel at ARC headquarters in Washington DC. As part of its unprecedented mission to set up shelters to accommodate all residents of areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina, American Red Cross has been asked to implement Internet Kiosks and extensive phone banks at each shelter. American Red Cross' Information Technology (IT) department determined that the capabilities offered by PART-15.ORG were a good fit for ARC's shelter requirements. ARC IT personnel seemed particularly impressed with PART-15.ORG's stated response times and the fact that well-proven, well-supported wireless technology would be used in the systems that PART-15.ORG volunteers would be implementing. To date, American Red Cross has currently deployed 300 shelters, and that number is certain to grow significantly and rapidly, and be widely dispersed throughout the US. PART-15.ORG Chairman Anderson expects to receive the final "GO" for PART-15.ORG to begin deploying its volunteer teams on Tuesday, September 6. "When we are tasked, it will be really big. There will be an incredible amount of work to do, but we have some really amazing people lined up that are ready to go" stated Anderson. ABOUT PART-15.ORG PART-15.ORG is an international association of Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs). PART-15.ORG, in conjunction with the Wireless Internet Service Provider Association (WISPA), is leading a broad coalition of service providers, equipment vendors, and qualified personnel in planning for rapid deployment of high-priority Internet communications in the region left devastated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. --- Matthew Barr Managing Partner Datalyte Consulting, LLC Apple Authorized Reseller mailto:mbarr@datalyte.com cell: (646) 765-6878 -- (converted from members/archive/0/45) -- From bogus@does.not.exist.com Wed Feb 7 12:08:06 2007 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Wed Feb 7 12:08:05 2007 Subject: UNIGROUP Announcement: 15-SEP-2005 Meeting on Computing Compliance In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: The following is NOT an NYSA Event and is posted here in case of interest.

UNIGROUP'S NOVEMBER 2005 GENERAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT ----------------------------------------------------- When: THURSDAY, November 17th, 2005 (3rd Thursday) Where: Alliance for Downtown NY Conference Facility Downtown Center 104 Washington Street South West Corner of Wall Street Area Downtown, New York City ** Please RSVP (not mandatory) ** Time: 6:15 PM - 6:25 PM Registration 6:25 PM - 6:45 PM Ask the Wizard, Questions, Answers and Current Events 6:45 PM - 7:00 PM Unigroup Business and Announcements 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM Main Presentation ----------------------------------------- Topic: Time Management for System Administrators ----------------------------------------- Speaker: Tom Limoncelli, Cibernet Corp. INTRODUCTION: ------------- Tom Limoncelli was the speaker for Unigroup's May 2002 meeting on Internet Collaboration which discussed the various processes that Tom experienced/invented while writing his first book (with his co-author Christine Hogan) "The Practice of System and Network Administration". This book encapsulated years of practical experience into a comprehensive text that many administrators would find a useful source of knowledge and experience. As System Administrators, we have all felt the time management problem, especially when supporting people from multiple groups, departments, or companies. At our November 2005 meeting, Tom will share some of his insights into the time management problem, and we hope to learn useful information that spans both Tom's books. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- To REGISTER for this event, please RSVP by using the Unigroup Registration Page: http://www.unigroup.org/unigroup-rsvp.html This will allow us to automate the registration process.

Who has the time for time management!? Users interrupt you constantly with requests, your managers want you to get long-term projects done but flood you with requests for quick-fixed, and the machines you manage just never behave, causing problems at the most inopportune moments. Tom will discuss techniques he has developed over the last 15 years including: - How to find time to get projects done, - The best way to manage interruptions from users, - Open Source tools for tracking requests, - How to turn chaos into free time. Tom's new book is due out late in November, and it can be pre-ordered at Amazon (see below, for a 30% off coupon): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596007833/tomontime-20 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Resources: -------------- Tom's first book "The Practice of System and Network Administration", and his blog: http://www.EverythingSysadmin.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker Biography: ------------------ Tom Limoncelli is the co-author of The Practice of System and Network Administration and author of Time Management for System Administrators.

You can read his blog on http://www.EverythingSysadmin.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Giveaways: ---------- O'Reilly has been kind enough to provide us with some of their books, which we will continue to raffle off as giveaways at our meetings. Addison-Wesley Professional/Prentice Hall PTR has been kind enough to provide us with some of their books, which we will continue to raffle off as giveaways at our meetings. Unigroup would like to thank both companies for the support provided by their User Group programs.

The easiest will be to replace the whois records with: ns1.nysa.org 66.250.170.210 ns2.nysa.org 65.84.93.74 Please let me know your thoughts on this. // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator < http://galis.org/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:george@galis.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: board-unsubscribe@list.nysa.org For additional commands, e-mail: board-help@list.nysa.org ----- End forwarded message ----- -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator < http://galis.org/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:george@galis.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: members-unsubscribe@list.nysa.org For additional commands, e-mail: members-help@list.nysa.org -- (converted from members/archive/0/51) -- From bogus@does.not.exist.com Wed Feb 7 12:08:06 2007 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Wed Feb 7 12:08:05 2007 Subject: change of ip In-Reply-To: <3596E565E29BF542A148D3654BCD83E60F305A@wmhex005p.arrownao.corp.arrow.com> References: <3596E565E29BF542A148D3654BCD83E60F305A@wmhex005p.arrownao.corp.arrow.com> Message-ID: MATTHEW MCHUGH wrote: > > Too bad.

I did get the green light for netbsd. :) and now I have a set of dual Opteron blades, with some driver problems. Want to do netboot later, but as a first pass, I tried to install on the local sata disk. The installer was not able to detect the sata controller, but I was able to have it emulate pata (IDE) in bios and the install went fine. However, the installer (usb cdrom 3.0) does not detect any network interfaces and on bootup, the ps2 keyboard no longer functions. The blade system integrates a kvm device with a button on each blade for vga, a pair of usb and 2 ps2 ports on the back. On the front of each blade are two more USB ports and a serial port. There is also a management and a console jack on the back, but not sure of their operation. A rear module provides two nics for each blade. I tried booting the netbsd install with an apple usb keyboard on the front, still no response to either keyboard. I didn't know what boot options to try. ...so as soon as I can get the keyboard and network going... I have no idea what's up with the keyboard but the nic is a Broadcom bcm5700 which I don't see in 3-0 source. The blades came with RedHat, the dmesg is below. Is there any hope? The chassis/blades are called BladeRunner from PenguinComputing.com, we have a lot of other hardware from them, which uses well supported devices (such as LSI Logic MegaRAID, or Intel network interfaces). We choose these units for their high density, low power consumption and a replacement warranty; all important, the vendor didn't promise netbsd support, but if we cannot get a netbsd network driver (or possibly a new network module that is supported), we will be looking for a new vendor; and return these (if that is a viable option). So, in addition to comments on the keyboard and network. Recommendations and/or solicitation for a new vendor are welcome (on or offline).

It's very likely that the class will be in "Advanced Module Design". In my humble opinion, Damian is one of the "premier" perl instructors in the perl community, and his classes are riveting and highly informative. More info about the class and Damian can be found at these links: Books he's written can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=Damian%20Conway The location for the class has not been not decided yet, but it will be somewhere in Manhattan. The class is expected to cost about $200 per student, but might be a little lower if several new students sign up. Interested parties can contact myself or Steven Lembark at lembark@wrkhors.com for more info.

Charles Walenta passed away March 28, 2006. He was a good personal friend and provided executive wisdom to the post 9/11 NYSA that I knew. He will be missed. Below is the Funeral Arrangements I found on the web. http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/NY-NJ-DrumCircles/message/312?viscount=100&l=1 Charles Walenta August 29, 1963 -- March 28, 2006 I've had to say good-bye to my dear brother Charlie this past week. It was sudden, and unexpected -- a shock that is still reverberating in my soul. He died of congestive heart failure, alone in his apartment in New York. He was pronounced dead on Tues, March 28. I can't describe how I'm feeling, and how my parents are feeling. There are no words. It's overwhelming and so very, very sad. I loved my dear brother so much. He was indeed the light in our lives. He could always make me laugh, and he brightened every room he entered. I cannot ever remember him without a smile on his face. Growing up with him as my little brother was a delight. He was the kindest and gentlest person I've ever known. Even though the world was not always so kind to him -- Charlie was kind and loving to every person in his life. He always had a smile, a kind word, and a helping hand. I think Charlie has found peace. I think he is in a better place, and that he has found some relief from the aspects of his life that were so hard on him. That is what I feel when my heart reaches out for his. If you would care to see a few pictures of Charlie, and the church where we will have the service, please go to www.suwalenta.com/charlie.htm The service will be on: Saturday April 8th 2006 9:00 to 10:00 am closed casket viewing, and personal prayer time. 10:00 to 10:45 am service. Friends and Family are encouraged to share a story of Charlie at that time. Mount Hope Cemetery (just a few miles from the church) 11:00 am for burial. We will gather after the burial at a local restaurant. Rev. Christopher King will be taking the service ---- he knew Charlie. Flowers, or messages for the service may be sent for Charlie and the Walenta Family c/o Grace Episcopal Church. Grace Episcopal Church 78 Main Street Hastings-on-Hudson, NY 10706 914-478-1779 If you cannot make the service, please light a candle and remember us in your prayers.
