I'm assuming you'll want the IPcop box to do all the heavy lifting. Check the DD-WRT compatibility guide: http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices Because you'll probably want to replace the factory firmware. Also, APs are hit and miss on their support of multicast mode. Multicast is used by a lot of wireless printers and other plug-n-play wifi devices. Many of the newer APs don't play well. You'll want to put DD-WRT on the device to make sure your wireless needs are fully supported. Good luck!

I think it's safe to say that PayPal is clearly the "least atrocious" option, and by a wide margin. They have learned and applied much to being trustworthy. They go after deadbeats, they guarantee "as advertised", and they are trusted by the most folks.

It's the separation between the base system and third-party software. Linux distros have no such distinction (everything aside from perhaps a couple utilities made by the distro project is third-party) and so everything is lumped together. This is one of the things I'll be going over in detail in the talk since it seems to confuse people coming from Linux.

I just don't need all this other stuff in there. I've actually half-started writing one in perl, but again, I'd love something that's already established and I hate reinventing wheels. My program would use (for now) a super easy flatfile for configuration (url:string to search for/null for a straight test) and would output an HTML file and send emails for alerts. But I'm not 100% sure I can make it 100% (or 99%, or 95%...) reliable. We used to use SiteScope at a previous job, which /does/ have other info through plugins/agents but works really well as a web services monitor. Sadly it seems to no longer exist (or HP bought it and turned it into some monstrosity). I might end up recommending Zenoss after all, though, if it ends up being simpler than me writing my own tool.

I will be demonstrating the software and hardware RAID on Linux systems. My goal is to compare and contrast and come up with some general guidelines for personal vs. professional needs. We were going to do a tinker day with Rasperberry Pi but some of the presenters were not able to join on Saturday. We will postpone until another day.

When someone from yahoo sends me an email, many times it ends up in my spam folder on google because google can't be sure the email came from yahoo. I've done some digging into this and it seems that it's because of the DMARC settings that yahoo is using. Has anyone else dealt with this and know what is the proper way for me to forward mail from one mail account to the other with procmail so that I don't break the DMARC headers? Or if it's amavis that is doing this? Thanks. Jon Schewe -- http://mtu.net/~jpschewe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I never used in in Centos 6, but the word on the street was it had issues specific to RH/Centos. There also was a rumor that this was going to be fixed in 6.5, but don't use it I didn't pay attention. XFS is the default filesys for Centos 7 now though.
