We have about 500 users and 300 computers. What advantages would it offer over Windows Server 2008's Active Directory? (Free being the primary example.) [/quote] I've not tried anything heavy duty with Samba recently, last time was in college with somebody else doing most of the work and bringing me in to figure out why things weren't working right. That was before a lot of the newer enhancements were made and the stuff where MS released some stuff to help the Samba folks out. The few people I know who are actively trying to do this, still cannot take full advantage of group policies, group policy client side extensions or use the native windows management tool packages to manage their machines and networks. I was trying to help somebody setup WSUS recently and after about 6 hours of fighting finally figured out he wasn't running Windows domain controllers and his "active directory" was really Samba systems looking like NT 4 domain controllers (don't know what version he was using); he was trying to do things free but was really having a tough time managing his 18 site windows network when the rest of us at the conference were comparing notes about scripts and figuring out the best way to map printers to legacy our cobol apps. Items I would consider to be critical to make sure that I could do would be: - Group Policies, Group Policy Preferences --- you can really manage your desktops - Along the same lines of group policies, make sure you can deploy security settings for your desktops, including logging preferences, file system lockdown settings, overriding users & groups - Starting with Windows 2003 native, nested groups for both security & distribution were supported which really made a lot of membership options easier, your domain controllers have to return the membership results right to utilities such as ifmember.exe and to any applicable vbs scripts or directory searcher routines - See if Samba functioning as a domain controller supports AD integrated application partitions, depending on what network applications you want to deploy some require this (and thus you need to make sure you can easily extend your AD schema and replication patterns) - Active Directory does have concepts of PDC and BDC's but DC's are usually peers; last time I was working on a Samba system it was looking like an NT4 PDC and BDC model which caused some issues - - that was however 5 years ago so hopefully this has changed - One problem I'm having is I am trying to have my Mac desktops, and some older computers I'm trying to run Linux on log into my AD. I am requiring encryption to certain servers and different servers have different policies which I use GPO's for and push these settings out to Windows desktops through GPO's. Even though I can authenticate to AD and login, I am having trouble accessing resources on these servers. An example is the server which serves the accounting department and their apps -- is set to require a particular key (its not all that complex either, just a shared secret word) -- I apply that through a GPO setting up computer configuration, so even if an accounting user logs in some place else, they can't access that server since the computer they are at doesn't have the key being applied to it. This is VERY seamless in AD, just have to make sure the computer's group and OU membership is right and the policies do the rest. Even though my Linux boes when I join them are in these OU's the policies don't apply (or if they do, it uses features Samba does not support). - With AD you can push out software installation policies, printer drivers, etc - I'm a one man show - I depend on these settings and would feel completely lost without them. - I would HOPE that no matter what "directory" based system you use - and I'm assuming that Samba would just provide you could store extra attributes for your users other than username and password. I don't have quite the network size you do but I keep phone numbers, locations, manager information, etc. I use this in a number of applications as a central data source. One place, less error. I have certain rights to maintain user information delegated to my HR people, our store managers have rights to reset passwords only for people in their store, etc. All of these are attributes within AD which the desktop tools that come on every desktop support (our store managers have to take out their cheat sheet but they can drop to a command line, net user JoeSmith newPassword /domain for their staff, but they can't do another store or corporate) - again, I depend on AD's configurability and would hope Samba can do the same. Something to also consider with the number of machines you have is migration of your machines and users, I wouldn't want to manually have to set everybody back up. If/WHEN you migrate over, hopefully you can bring your Samba "DC" up as an AD peer and wait for replication for it to get everything it needs. Probably my biggest factor, personally, to consider would be do you get 100% fully integrated group policies to your desktops, servers, etc. I'm not a fan of the cost of MS licensing and maybe there are a lot of good desktop management tools out there, but the ones I've researched don't appear to be free whereas you get all the native windows stuff with your servers and their desktop management packs. Just my opinion, realize that I tinker with Linux and am starting to deploy it some but am hitting a lot of road blocks (it does not pass the control characters for our barcode scanners to our terminal servers properly for our system to recognize it), I don't have the single sign on advantage so far, I can't just right click on my computer and say "ok, copy these desktop icons out to everybody wherever they login with these settings to launch this remote TS app this way". I'm a Windows creature running a Windows environment and just play in the Linux world more than anything. ML Mark A.

It can get costly. Your best bet is to cap at your router if you are willing to never allow for spikes in traffic, but that still doesn't protect you from incoming traffic (even if it piles up outside your router). It's not uncommon at all for a data center to bill like this, but I'd rather pay a flat rate (even if a little higher) so I have a known cost. -----Original Message----- From: general-bounces at brlug.net [mailto:general-bounces at brlug.net] On Behalf Of Tim Fournet Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 2:44 PM To: general at brlug.net Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Network services at NTG you are metered on amount of data transferred???? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dustin Puryear" To: general at brlug.net Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2009 2:12:55 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [brlug-general] Network services at NTG Hi guys- Does anyone know what Internet providers offer access inside the NTG data center?

Beginning on April 22, SANS Mentor Slava Sotnikov will be leading this class in Baton Rouge, LA. For complete course details, please click on http://www.sans.org/info/40743 Why Choose the Mentor Program? The Mentor Program, http://www.sans.org/info/31209, consists of small, locally run, 10 week classes utilizing the same great SANS courseware presented at the larger conferences. This unique program opens SANS training up to students with family or work commitments necessitating a more flexible option. Mentored students report several major benefits of this format including: cost savings, time to digest the material, convenient evening classes, small groups, a Mentor "coach", and community networking. COST SAVINGS: Is the slowing economy resulting in reduced training budgets? With the SANS Mentor program, you save 25% off the regular SANS tuition fee with the ability to save even more with group discounts (see below). No need to spend money on travel and living expenses or spend a week away from the family. PACED STUDY: Take 10 weeks to work through and understand the material. Past students report that the slower pace allows them to absorb and apply the information. Each session provides you the opportunity to apply the materials the next day when you return to the office! EVENING CLASSES: The Mentor program provides a method for learning the SANS materials and working towards a GIAC certification without taking time off from work. COMMUNITY NETWORKING: The Mentor program allows you to work with local security professionals in an open discussion format. This community networking has been identified by students as a major benefit of the Mentor program. One recent Mentor student commented, "I thought that the class was great. I would consider taking another SANS Mentor Program class. It was much more convenient than traveling and I had the ability to review material at my own pace." - Clint Barnett - Computer & Information Security Forensics Examiner A SANS Institute course delivered locally in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by an experienced SANS Mentor who will lead you over a comfortable and convenient schedule, saving you money, while giving you the opportunity to network with local security professionals. What a great combination!! Plus SANS promises you will be able to use what you learn in the classroom as soon as you return to the office. TUITION DISCOUNTS! SANS offers group registration discounts for 2 or more students who register from the same organization. To obtain the Group Discount fee and Registration Code offered for this course, contact Heather Kohls at mentor at sans.org PRIOR to registering, and provide the names and e-mail addresses of all the students registering within your organization. Does this sound like the kind of training that would help you be more effective in your job? Then register today at http://www.sans.org/info/40743 and see for yourself the excellent value of SANS training and GIAC certification! If you have any questions about this course offering, please contact mentor at sans.org. ******************************************************************** SANS is pleased to announce our new Training and Events Calendar - an easy way to see what opportunities are available to you during the coming month! The current calendars are now available for download from http://www.sans.org/info/1372. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From joe at fruchey.net Thu Apr 30 14:45:15 2009 From: joe at fruchey.net (Joe Fruchey) Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:45:15 -0500 Subject: [brlug-general] USB serial console woes Message-ID: <65ef39b10904301245k130c3247yd8039fac6e754ada@mail.gmail.com> Hey guys. I installed Jaunty Netbook Remix on my netbook this morning, and it's great. I want to configure Cisco switches with it. I "made" a USB console cable that I've been using under Windows, and it works great. Windows sees it as COM3, I point PuTTY at COM3 and I'm golden. Under Ubuntu, it's not working. I can see that the cable is recognized as ttyUSB0. I'm running minicom at 9600, 8N1, and pointing it at /dev/ttyUSB0. But all the screen does is flash. I press Enter and get nothing. well, on this site [http://www.cromwell-intl.com/tcpip/switch-programming.html] I see that it says to use /dev/usb/ttyUSB0. So I set it to that, and it still flashes constantly, but when I press Enter, I can see the hostname of the switch for half a second before it flashes and is gone. Interestingly, when I open minicom with the config file that points to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0, it says there's no such device. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Joe From kevin.dupuy at opensuse.org Thu Apr 30 19:21:15 2009 From: kevin.dupuy at opensuse.org (Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy) Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:21:15 -0500 Subject: [brlug-general] openSUSE Users Louisiana - Interested in working together Message-ID: <1241137275.4932.28.camel@linux-0uq7.site> Greetings members of Baton Rouge LUG! I'm Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy (or just Kevin Yeaux, whichever you prefer :-)), a member of the openSUSE Project based out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Last year, I and a number of others started a Local User Group initiative inside the openSUSE Project. What we're doing, instead of creating individual organizations like Ubuntu w/ the LoCo projects, is working to simply have an openSUSE "Ambassador" or two (the naming isn't final yet, we're still working on several details of the program, which won't really affect our relations) at local Linux User Groups, thus having a de-facto openSUSE User Group without splitting out from the main local organization. We've had a wiki page for openSUSE Users Louisiana up for some time, and I've gotten several requests for information from people just recently into joining the org., which is why I've placed sending this email and begin relations into working with the BRLUG onto the front burner :-). Just so we're clear, what we'd be doing is we'd have an "ambassador"-like figure on the openSUSE side of things, which would work with the openSUSE Project to introduce new people (openSUSE users, primarily) into this organization, but to ya'll (the BRLUG) the Ambassador would be just another member of the group. Interested in hearing your comments, questions and concerns. Let me introduce myself, BTW. I began using Linux in 2003, and was using it on and off until 2005 when I made the switch. I became involved with the openSUSE Project shortly after it's launch in 2005 and mainly work in several areas: bug testing (which is just kinda standard for most members ;-) ), marketing and promotional materials, and the Artwork team (by opening up the previously closed team into the community for involvement). -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy openSUSE Member www.twitter.com/KevinDupuy
