I've had service with them since 2002 and I've always been pleased with it.

Anyone got a good suggestion for a cell phone provider?  We've been long
time Nextel customers but Sprint seem to want to get rid of us.  Mainly I'm
concerned about coverage - Sprint seem to have a very spotty service and
drops all calls at the I-10/I-12 split.

I've looked at AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile but you never really know what the
coverage is until you've used them for a few months.

Confidentiality is a hallmark of the accounting profession and it is of the
utmost importance to our client
relationships.  At P&N, we are committed to keeping your data confidential
which is why we are implementing
new email encryption software.  This software inspects all outbound emails
from our firm.  Emails that

file.  This ensures that your
confidential data cannot be read by anyone other than the intended
recipient.
 
Emails with attachments will include a link to a secure web server.  Click

The first time you receive a secure email from the firm you will be required
to setup a password.  This will
be your password to access future attachments.  For our clients and others,
there will be a small step to
download the encrypted files; however, we believe the added confidentiality
benefits far outweigh the few

depends on the format of your pdf... you could try pdf2ps, then psmerge, 
then ps2pdf.  I've used ps2pdf before, but getting pdf2ps to do anything 
with a real pdf has not always worked for me haha.

Yes, you want a package called "pdftk", which is pretty easy to use and very
powerful. You can merge, split, reorder pages, all kinds of stuff.  It's
available in the repos for Ubuntu and Fedora, for sure. Don't know about
others.

I found this a while back when I was trying to merge some PDFs under  
OSX but this works fine under linux provided you have GS installed.

Hey guys-

We're about to kick off a big project to deploy Sun OpenSSO (Web SSO)
and then integrate/support uPortal into that environment. I know there
are a number of university staff here, so if interested we'll let you
know how things go.

I'd be interested in the project.  We have an outsourced SSO project  
for which they've decided to use OpenSSO.

We looked at uPortal circa 2003, but it was still a little rough around 
the edges back then.  I'm sure it's matured a great deal by now!  Are you 
allowed to mention which University you're working with?

I believe so, but let me find out. If not yet, probably in the next
week. Contracting.

We've worked in Luminis environments as well.

What are you guys using?

BTW, the Sun OpenSSO (Web SSO) is for all web access, not just uPortal
(which has its own SSO if you stay INSIDE that environment anyway). What
are you using for that?

What about the rest of you?

I got a few emails off-list.

Another product we've worked with for Web SSO is CA SiteMinder, but I've
NEVER seen that in a university environment. Big in other places though,
especially financial and government.

Dustin,

As far as you know, is there still no Infragard group in BR?  I noticed they
say coming soon for BR and Lafayette.

Dustin,

As far as you know, is there still no Infragard group in BR?  I noticed
they say coming soon for BR and Lafayette.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Has anybody used (or is using) OpenFiler ?

If so would you share the good, bad, the ugly and the "Holy Cow, stay the heck away" stories?

I used it about two years ago as an iSCSI initiator. It worked pretty well
for a while, but we needed something a little more solid, supportable, and
scalable, so we eventually ended up getting a full-blown SAN.

The main problems I had were due to the rPath-based Linux distro that it ran
on (this may have changed by now) and some of the updates to the OS caused
problems with the iSCSI stack. After this happened a few times, I scrambled
for something that's got less of a moving target for a foundation.

Yeah, we played around with OpenFiler, but for some reason I didn't get
the feel that I'd want to run it for long.

It does work very well for test environments. Citrix even uses it in  
their XenServer test labs

I've run FreeNAS for a couple of years with no trouble. I've utilized  
mainly for NFS but some CIFS.
