Re: (ASCEND) How do you update Secondary RADIUS Server ?
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the information I will have a look at it -
I've installed samba on one of our non-production machines and it is a neat
thing. I'm still trying to figure out how secure it is though.
With regard to rsync - how comfortable are you with it's security ?
Thank you for the input!
Regards,
