@84104 I think we've been using Samba since 2.0.2. Though I have to admit that we didn't even get all our boxes onto 3.0 until 2007. We're still not using 3.5 on our main server.
Is this a sufficient edge case that you 10Ks would kick a question to this effect over to SU?
Surely the authors of the previous (sublime!) answers will throw the "Sure it works in practice, but does it work in theory!?" at me, but this great SE question and its answers still lured me into creating an answer backed up by empirical evidence.

YES! It's certainly possible. At le...
Last time I had that happen (system worked, but massive security issues made it impossible to go live) we convinced management to stop the project and asked for our money back. Lawsuits were involved.
@Joel Sounds like a variation on what I'm dealing with. Dev think their shit lives and operates in a vacuum and doesn't need to inter-operate with anything else.
Best of luck on that one. =/
G'nite gents. Time to drag my sorry carcass home and feed the cat.
@WesleyDavid Naw, I'd have to have come home first anyways to get a picture of balls.
@Joel Also, re: egg-on-face - it's bloody important for everyone (us admins, management, EVERYONE) to be able to say "I made a mistake and we should correct it."
@WesleyDavid Apart from the overall awfulness of the product, it's just not the right product. It's not the right process, or the right line of thought. The basic concept of what we're trying to accomplish is fundamentally flawed because no one had the guts to say "This is a bad idea and you should feel bad."
This April Fool's, find any place you can get internet traffic and put a proxy in front of then, then rewrite replace all fbcdn.com/.jpg requests with a picture of Rick Astley.
Did you ever have anything in your life that you just kind of…ignored until it went away? Or at least, ignored it until you forgot about it or pretended it went away? That’s kind of what I did with multicast. For a long, long time, I would hear people mention multicast, and I would be [...]
Day two of the RAID recovery. The file-copy is just about done. Then I get to see if it'll continue to rebuild, or if we need to migrate-the-hard-way another LUN :P
@AdamBenayoun no, well run sites are endangered as more and more amateurs and devs think they can do the job
@AdamBenayoun if you asked your question at the weekend then the chances are it'll get missed - you could try editing it so it gets to the front page again
Try observium on a remote machine, then setup SNMP for windows on the machine you want to monitor and add it in your observium server. It will give you a lot of information. Another possibility is to setup a nagios server with nagiosgraph and install nagioswin as agent. You can also use nagios in...
the guy here says, "had to vote down your answer because it's non-sensical"...
he's entitled to his point of view, though I do disagree. The only possible comment I could make is that the person asking the question may have been asking for a pushbike and you've given him a mercedes, so to speak.
so...seemed like an intresting time last night on TCR?
@KennyRasschaert I also went to Ikea, like you, to buy two tables for a LackRack. Like you, I also found out the table legs were hollow. I was not impressed.
When you read up on that, you find that people say "oh you need to reinforce the legs so you have a solid structure you can bolt the servers to". Then what's the point of buying the lack?
@LucasKauffman Plus you need the brackets to hold the server up, and brackets to hold the table(s) together - I spent more on the brackets that two tables.
@tombull89 I was thinking of getting one of these sound equipment racks, they were about 100 euro, but if I can make one myself that looks that sexeh ...
@LucasKauffman I don't know - didn't do that :P The legs are hollow - the legs are fairly thin wood (i.e. you can punch through it with enough force -_-)
I am planning a small house (4 rooms, 2 floors, no basement, no attic, 120 sq.meters) and I want to run a lot of LAN cables throughout because of poor WiFi experiences in my apartment.
Because the house will be built according to my wishes (including electrical plans), I can pretty much choose ...

Does anyone use a KVM switch at home with more than 2 ports? I've got a Belkin 2-port one for my ESXi server and File server but I'll be adding two HP Microservers to the party as well - any thoughts?
So with "normal" KVM you have mouse/screen/keyboard. You can get ones with sound, too, but I guess with the IP ones you get things like remote reboot and such?
@LucasKauffman I did wonder about that - if you Colocate a server you get KVM access with it, but I thought whats the point if you have iLO - but there's obviously the security risk if you expose an iLO card to the interweb.
I am wondering if iLO is safe enough to be hung on the WAN, I looked for some articles but could not find any ?
How do you guys secure iLO ? Do you put it behind a firewall ?
Would you use a firewall that can be accessed from the WAN using iLO ?
Is it just us who would just tell the vendor to fix their busted ass crap if we could prove it was a hardware fault of that kind, instead of trying to work around it?
@LucasKauffman But the point still stands, you get someone who's all OMFG I'M A MORAL PRICK HOW DARE YOU they're going to approve a flag that says "darn" just because.
I'm confused about being on call while in the actual office of tech people where they herd the non-techs into the center of the room, and everyone else is in chat rooms and seconds from email or probably just posting to their own subreddit to get attention...
Unless you have a REAL problem that requires replies within ten seconds. I think it's funny that someone not refreshing reddit results in @petergrace waddling into the office with his pants around his ankles and toilet paper streamin' in the breeze behind him to check a router.
