I rescued a bebeh lizard from palm destruction last weekend. Cutting old palm suckers caused about 9,000 cockroaches to scurry out and perhaps a dozen lizards. One was tiny and I was able to capture it and put it on the citrus tree.
Also a mouse that I beat with my rawhide glove, but that's another story.

I'm wondering if what I want to do is sane/possible or if I should ask a question I have pfsense acting as a router between LAN1 and WAN, LAN1 has a second router to LAN2 and I want pfsense to route accordingly
so some real IPs: I have pfsense as the local router 10.10.0.2 for a 10.10.0.0/16, with another router as 10.10.0.1 which routes to 192.168.0.0/16, and I want pfsense to forward the traffic
So I want machines on 10.10/16 to have 10.10.0.2 as their gateway so they can access WAN via it, but also access 192.168/16. pfsense can see it via 10.10.0.1 with the static route
If someone from the 10.10/16 network tries to send to the pfSense box (with a destination in the 192.168/16 network) it will send them a ICMP 5.0 message with the corrected route.
Also, -w file prepended to the arguments of any tcpdump command will create a pcap file that Wireshark can open (good for more visual digestion of packets)

Today I’m at the Phoenix VMUG and will be live blogging my experience (provided I can find decent public WiFi). For a full listing of the sessions, check out this agenda page. I’m here with a handful of colleagues, so there’s no telling exactly what will happen, however the sessions that I think I’ll take are: Session #1: EMC – Virtualization of Mission Critica…
Anyone ever see an error "The system cannot find the path specified" when trying to delete a file? The path is %appdata%\temp\OICE_A4533...FF68.0\40E99FB7.
So, I'm completely revamping the printer deployment here to use GPP. I'm considering just making a single GPO, putting all printers in it, making 1 security group per printer and using item-level targetting to determine who gets what printer based on those security groups.
@MDMarra Nothing I've been able to nail down, though, I highly suspect it has to do with the domain's level of fuctup. Only seem to see the problem in old domains where some of the decisions leave me scratching my head and wondering who would do such a thing.
@MDMarra Yeah, randomly not working, and/or disappearing from the client, with no explanation or reason for even a possible cause to be found anywhere.
@MichaelHampton Oh since you're here, and Linuxy, do you know the answer to my Perl-related queries above?
@HopelessN00b The second number in the Perl version is effectively a major version; they introduce backward incompatible changes. Don't bet on it working. As for replacing the system perl, you could, but that also is just asking for trouble.
@MDMarra we have some issues with mad printer requirements as a college that don't normally impact business, but our experience is that GPP printing was unreliable for us and there was an issue with being able to reliably set a specific printer as the default printer - an issue if you want people to print to a local B&W printer and have also have access to a large scale colour printer or a photocopier that can be used as a printer for bulk print runs.
@MichaelHampton Because my boss about creamed his pants when he overheard that I can code in Perl. He had a tech who was pretty guru like in Perl a while back, and now the solution to every problem on a Linux box is somethingsomethingPerl.
@MichaelHampton Several, but this boss is actually pretty decent (this one annoyance aside), and I'm NOT shooting the Avamar, because we'd have to go back to HP DataPortector if I did.
@DJPon3 Kinda. The old tech was actually neighbors with a published author who wrote a book or two on Perl, and is active in the big mailing lists and so on, so I think it's more a case of the Perl code this guy is used to is just such high quality, he thinks it's a function of Perl, rather than a function of having had a Perl guru working for him.
@DJPon3 Yeah, no doubt. But, given the level of fuctup around here, this particular bad ending might not even register above the background noise... so I'm not too bent out of shape yet.
@DJPon3 @MDMarra we also had issues with default printer (setting default to enabled in a GPP resulted in the printer not being mapped). The solution was to run an extra gpupdate against the user target in a HKCU run. Haven't had a complaint in a week..
@DJPon3 That's just so twisted and perverse, all the technology and code that goes into supporting making marks on tree corpses, like it's still a thousand years ago and paper is novel or useful or whatever. :/
Q. Do Remote Desktop connections work to Windows wireless clients that use 802.1X authentication? A. Not at this time. All 802.1X-based wireless connections are affected, including those using EAP-TLS or PEAP-MS-CHAP v2. Connections using a static WEP key or WPA-PSK are not affected. Microsoft has addressed this issue in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
@ChrisS I've got a story about that courtesy of my stepdad. Large company, a major executive puts a ticket in, "I can't install the new app - must be a security issue with the new Windows 7 rollout" -- he was still using XP.
@pauska Oh, thanks. RDP doesn't work over the wireless connection. Works fine if you need to RDP in over a wire and setup or use 802.1X wireless for another purpose though, FYI. (OR works here, at least)
@ChrisS Not always the management's fault. Like here, the users are so... ducking fumb they couldn't make a migration to Windows 7 work, which is why it's still all XP, expect for IT and a handful of other users with vestigial traces of intelligence.
yeah, I'm just debating with my self if I want that enabled
2 - Computer authentication only. When a user logs on, it has no effect on the connection. Only computer authentication is performed. The exception to this behavior is when a user successfully logs on, and then roams between wireless APs. In that case, user authentication is performed. For changes to this setting to take effect, restart the Wireless Zero Configuration service for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
OK, so users with more than emails 10,000 individually saved as .msg files... the best, easiest approach to that is a scoped firearm and a lot of lye, right?
Trade ya... you can deal with 20 GB (>162,000) individually saved emails, and I can do your 802.1X auth for you.
@HopelessN00b I've got a handful of those users too... I just told them to buckle-up and hold on for dear life. They've handled it better than expected.
I am looking for an (ideally free as in speech or beer) backup tool for Unix-like OS which can store deduplicated backups, i.e. only nonredundant content takes up additional space.
I already looked at dirvish (my first candidate) and rsnapshot which use hardlinks to achieve deduplication on a pe...

@ewwhite I do it sometimes on things I know/strongly suspect I'll need to CMA on. Kinda of a simple way to make sure the email actually gets sent out as expected.
1.5 TB would take 30 minutes with http://www.exdupe.com/ :p

this is interesting. OP asks a question and self answers but doesn't ask a good question and the answer isn't great either serverfault.com/questions/437342/…
There was that guy who asked and self answered a question about how to stop the `manage this server` window from popping up at login (tick the box that says `do not show this screen at login`.
@ewwhite Yeah, if the project plan is to believed, we'll be deploying some Solaris boxes for their ZFS capabilities.
Dedupe has been overrated and overhyped since it hit the "scene" a couple years ago... For most people it has few benefits, high costs, and introduces methods of failure that tend to actually fail too often.
@ewwhite Ugh, sadly [much of] what we buy and deploy was decided before they had me as a resource, so we've got some shit I just have to deal with and deploy/configure as best as possible. Like the Websense stuff. No sense in expending effort on something that was decided and can't be changed.
@ChrisS Bah, the rest of the world just needs to get with the program and start doing daily backups of 500 GB filservers over a T1 already, like we do. :)
@voretaq7 The concept isn't bad, no... But the benefits don't really materialize like people think they will; and the potential for problems, while low, is enough that I don't think it's wroth it (in general; fringe cases always apply)
@ChrisS it depends on how much data you have and how well it takes to deduplication I guess - you have to get at least 3:1 returns for it to make sense IMHO
our database would dedupe probably close to that Our database is also tiny, so the huge expense of the SAN would totally eclipse any storage benefits...
Ugh, and check out this ass... downvoting someone for answering their own question. I have a strong temptation to go through and downvote all his questions for the equally specious reason of not answering any of his own questions.
@Jeznet I downvoted because not only is this an incredibly simple task that could be solved by typing your title into google, you also answered your own question as soon as you asked it. Seemed a waste of time. — boburob9 mins ago
@HopelessN00b Try this in your lab sometime. Set up an NFS client, an NFS server, start some data transfer between them, and then unplug the cable for a second. Plug it back in. Watch the fun!
@voretaq7 Right, but the way it's stored in pages with different indexes, etc causes the blocks to differ, even if the data in the rows is identical, making it not a good candidate for dedup
@HopelessN00b NFS is (or was, the last time I used it) highly intolerant to even the briefest of network hiccups. I got to the point where I would use Anything But NFS...
@MDMarra normally true but Pg bytea data is pretty much dumped into a (bunch of) big bucket(s) and accessed by reference. We're definitely a special case in this regard though - you couldn't dedupe all your Jane Smiths in a normal table.
(it just happens that this table is about 30% of our DB size. about 50% is in another table which we can't dedupe (and don't use anymore, but it just sits there, growing...))
@HopelessN00b Listen to the pointy blue critter - NFS sucks. There's a reason it's called Network Failure System when nobody from Sun is within earshot...
@MichaelHampton You mean you think that a filesystem should make an attempt to verify and changes to the files it's hosting? Pfft, you'll never cut it as a Sun employee.
@HopelessN00b NFS over UDP still does synchronous writes; the write verification is just pushed up to the application level instead of the session layer. It makes the protocol notably faster for large transfers (over reliable mediums) as you get one ACK for the trasfer instead of one ACK per packet.
