nice! where do you find a list of html, or markup that you can use on the stack exchange? I guess the main thing I've wanted to know is how to make some font smaller

For as little as I use actual pens, their suckage doesn't add up to $175 + ink worth; and the waste is probably similar to what it takes to create that thing. I don't suppose the manufacturer mentions the production carbon footprint per pen...
@KyleBrandt the key is really host+type (and if you make that key unique you're still screwed over because you can have multiple (e.g.) A records...
@hobodave the WAP should be in whatever vlan the clients connecting to it need to wind up in -- so an internal one goes to your internal vlan, a guest one to your guest vlan, a voice one to your voice vlan, etc.
@hobodave workstations makes the most sense -- again it's best if you can apply an ACL to the AP's management interface so people can't prod it and do things, but for an internal network that's not a bad thing since you can theoretically trust your users to a limited extent.
Is there a way to search the entire forward lookup zone in Windows 2008 R2 DNS server?
I would like to search both the NAME and the 'RDATA' of all the resource records for a substring.
I just tried to call Verizon technical support. Get in the AutoAttendant, press the right key combinations.... Call cannot be completed as dialed. For FIOS techsupport. They disconnected the damn number.
@hobodave it depends on if the WAP can support both VLANs -- if it can you can put the management IP on the admin network/vlan, if not you're stuck with an IP on the network you're connected to (or one that isn't and having to manually configure an IP in order to talk to it when you need to make config changes - security through "Who the hell would set it up that way??")
@hobodave so you're pretty much stuck with giving it an IP in its home. This is part of why I always reserve the first 10 IPs of a /24 for infrastructure :)
@wfaulk Nice. I'm a huge fan. I'm partial to their Air Corps Blue-Black. I think it was a limited run, though, cause they don't seem to be selling it any more.
@hobodave What AP? If you're concerned about security and theres no way to segregate the management address you can always see if your AP supports "Disable management from wireless clients." It's not a great solution but at least it slightly hardens it.
@voretaq7 You mean the flat parts on the top and bottom of the grip? I guess they've never bothered me. Hopefully I won't start to notice them now that you've called them out. :)
@ErikA The only product of Nathan's I have issue with is Baystate Blue - it's a damn pain in the ass in every fountain pen I've used it in - probably because I don't write enough to keep it from clogging the nib. Works fine in my dip pens though.
I'm plugged directly into my router now, and I can access it at any of its IPs on all interfaces: 172.22.1.1, 172.22.10.1, 172.22.50.1 and 172.22.200.1
however, if I plug the switch into the router, and I plug into the switch, I can no longer access the router or anything else for that matter
my workstation is supposed to be on the 172.22.10.0/24 (vlan10) network
@hobodave I know I'm coming late to this conversation, but are you sure you have trunking/tagging/un-tagged ports configured correctly on the switch and the router interface?
flagging goes to the moderators, and is the official way to do it. The vote to close room is the un-official room where those of us without moderator access pile on and vote to close poor questions quickly.
and another meta-question (sorry, I'm sure these are covered in the FAQ) - questions that are 'unanswered' (no answers), but the questioner answered it himself in a comment shortly after posting... so it hangs around as unanswered forever
@Aaron, if the user described the solution you could always add an answer with the details. You could add a comment asking the person who posted the question to self-answer.
@Aaron, if you feel bad about it, you could mark your answer as community wiki. Since you didn't actually come up with the answer, this may be a somewhat fair way to post an answer, and also not make people think you are trying to get cheap rep.
But please only do that, when the comment is actually an answer with enough details to potentially help another person in the future. A simple 'I figured it out' is not a good answer.
I'm running Windows 2003. I am an admin on this particular machine. I tried to delete a folder, but something went slightly wrong. When I navigate to its parent I can see it in there.
When I double click the folder, I get the error message: D:\Path\to\folder is not accessible. Access is denied....
@Iain @Aaron "However, note that I completely support stealing answers-as-comments and posting them as your own answer in these cases" meta.serverfault.com/questions/1886/…
@ShaneMadden That was a perfectly legit question, with perfectly legit answers, and it speaks to the community's spirit and undying love for Mister Paddington Bear.
@Iain Eww. Yeah, eyes on it would be good. Controversial questions with a lot of answers have an easier time making it to the "hot questions" list - but there's plenty of good questions and answers that don't light up the list.
@Aaron Someone figured out what company it was. Some audio gear thing.
@Aaron for SO, SU, Webmasters and mSF migrations just drop them in the vote to close room - they'll get dealt with and it helps reduce the load on the mods for all others flag and choose other then explain where and why
@WesleyDavid it just won't happen
having a close route to dba or linux & unix would though be more use than the one to mSF
Steal comments that answer the question and post them as an answer. If it happens enough either the misguided commentators will be annoyed enough at the "lost" rep to give outright answers, or no one will notice / care and you'll help the community and... oh yeah, get some rep.
BTW, I stole this...
I think I asked a question but I'm not really sure I understood the answer - I'm going through a lot of old old questions with no answers and flagging the really bad ones (with an appropriate reason, of course) - should I be putting in the vote to close room instead?
I'll probably make it a yearly thing. There was a larger goal to make a site dedicated to creating and tracking stack exchange challenges, but the guy who was going to do it got swamped and I haven' theard from him.
@Aaron it's up to you but non mods with >3k rep can vote to close for a variety of reasons. Plain off topic and no suitable migration, migration to the sites I listed above, not constructive, not a real question and too localized
@Aaron That reminds me, what happens when a person asks a question, but there is no suitable answer? How do you deal with the low answer percentage that will be by your name? (That's a question for the room in general)
@WesleyDavid, they could always put in a mod flag, and request that it be changed to community wiki. That way it won't count against their answer percentage.
If the answer true cannot be answered, it may need to just be closed though.
If it can be answered, and just doesn't have an answer, leave it open until you get one.
I still haven't gotten a good answer to a couple of my questions...
Once a week I usually go over all the questions I've participated in and drop a comment to the OP to accept an answer if there's an acceptable one. Helps to spur people.
@Zoredache A cotton shot is what a heroin addict does when he's strung out. Takes his saved cotton wads, soaks them, and shoots the liquid that he gets off of it. Then you have to worry about getting cotton fever.
@ChrisS, we have been looking at that. The original question was because I had two policies that were conflicting. I removed the conflict, the problem is fixed. Still, I was hoping someone would have a nice flow-chart somewhere that described exactly when various aspects of a policy are applied.
@Iain Ohhh, that must suck. I've never had it happen. I hate it when I'm about two seconds away from posting a masterful answer, and then see that little blue bar that says someone has posted before me... and it turns out to be the exact same answer.
This question is probably a matter of personal opinion but I wanted to gather your thoughts on how important having SELinux enabled on a web server is.
In your opinion, is the added security a must or just nice to have?
Is the performance hit worth it?
Is it worth the trouble?
Do you recommend a...
