    Free up tapes which are almost empty <br />
    Multiple macro commands <br />
    Exporting scripts <br />
    Updating Netware Client Passwords
  • LasCon Storage – TSM Administration – Tivoli is part of IBM, and they provide a suite of management products for distributed systems. TSM used to be called ADSM and works on the 'incremental backup forever' principle, which takes a bit of getting used to, compared to the more traditional 'weekly full backup and daily incremental' system. With TSM, you backup all your clients to one central data backup server. This makes administration a lot easier, but means you have to limit the amount of data you send over the network. That's why TSM needs to be incremental. A central database records all backup information, and can be used to recreate a whole server if necessary. TSM always keeps at least one backup of every on-line file.

    <br />
    Have you ever prepared for a certification exam using PDFs or braindumps? If yes, then I think you will agree with me that using practice test software is more comfortable and efficient way to prepare.<br />
    <br />
    The purpose of this site is to help you use TestKing, Pass4sure, CertifyMe, ActualTest, Braindumps and other PDFs as practice exams, not the multipage text documents as most of us have used it.<br />
    <br />
    Here you can download free practice tests for such certifications as MCSE, MCDBA, MCSD, A+, Network+, Security+, CCNA, CCNP, and so on. All tests on this site have been created with Visual CertExam Suite. Visual CertExam Suite is an exam simulator developed for certification exam preparation. You can also use it as a Trandumper replacement. Files with VCE extension can be opened with this program.
  • Sagan from Softwink, Inc [800-538-9357] – Sagan is a multi-threaded, real time system and event log monitoring system, but with a twist. Sagan uses a "Snort" like rule set for detecting bad things happening on your network and/or computer systems. If Sagan detects a "bad thing" happening, that event can be stored to a Snort database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and Sagan will attempt to correlate the event with your Snort Intrusion Detection/Intrusion Prevention (IDS/IPS) system.

  • A Tcpdump Tutorial and Primer | danielmiessler.com – Tcpdump is the premier network analysis tool for information security professionals. Having a solid grasp of this über-powerful application is mandatory for anyone desiring a thorough understanding of TCP/IP. Many prefer to use higher level analysis tools such as (Ethereal) Wireshark, but I believe this to usually be a mistake.[…]
  • Gioco di Squadra & Intelligenza Collettiva – Il MIT Media Lab ha creato Mars Escape, gioco on line per due persone il cui obiettivo è contribuire all’educazione di Nexi.<br />
    <br />
    Obiettivo del gioco è quello di permettere al robot di assolvere a determinati compiti con l’ausilio dell’essere umano. Le strategie e le interazioni sviluppate dai partecipanti servono a fornire le informazioni necessarie al raggiungimento di questo obiettivo.<br />
    <br />
    In Mars Escape il giocatore può mantenere le sembianze umane personificando un astronauta o, al contrario, convertirsi in un robot; lo scenario, come suggerisce il nome, è una stazione spaziale su Marte.<br />

  • migrazione RedHat Enterprise Linux a CentOS eseguita! – Lo scorso anno acquistammo un serverino – dischi in fiber channel, 4 cpu quadcore, 32GB di RAM … la solita roba, insomma – con su Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Ovviamente quest’anno allo scadere della licenza non ci sono i fondi per proseguire con gli abbonamenti annuali…Che si fa? Si migra a CentOS, ovviamente!<br />
    Per fortuna la procedura di migrazione è stata semplice, immediata e rispettosa del tutorial proposto nell’apposita pagina del wiki ufficiale.
  • Backup su HSDPA con router Linux – La settimana scorsa Stefano ha avuto un down tremendo della HDSL, più di 72 ore, quasi insopportabili per una azienda al giorno d’oggi. Per questo motivo mi ha chiesto di aggiungere al firewall/router che già gestisce le policy di rete, un backup su HSDPA automatico che attivi la connessione su 3G non appena il link ADSL cade.<br />
    <br />
    Ho cercato in rete se esisteva già qualche setup, ma ho trovato solo una guida per zeroshell e alcune discussioni su forum che però non erano pienamente esaustive.
  • MySQL Forge :: Dashboard – MySQL Forge is a repository of tools, projects, roadmap tasks, and wiki content that is created and maintained by the MySQL user and developer community. It is intended to be a resource for learning, contributing, and sharing information and code with each other.<br />
    <br />
    The Forge also has a section devoted to the people that compose the greater MySQL user and developer community.
  • rhomobile – the open mobile framework – Rhodes is an open source framework to rapidly build NATIVE apps for all major smartphone operating systems (iPhone, Windows Mobile, RIM, Symbian and Android). These are true native device applications (NOT mobile web apps) which work with synchronized local data and take advantage of device capabilities such as GPS, PIM contacts and camera.<br />
