a meandering email sorry. My questions first and then the babble. (1) anyone here use WASTE? http://waste.sourceforge.net/ (2) direct connect? (3) other similar private network filing sharing applications. enterprise or personal. (4) can anyone recommend a good downloadable VPN client/server? with features: - free, open source prefered - downloadable VPN client (basic preconfiguration - just add uid/pwd) - centralized user authentication and mgmt (worthy of discussion) - I presume LDAP. Used for VPN initially. (5) P2P network - has anyone setup? most interested in setting up a secure P2P network over VPN. (enterprise file sharing)
Eric So I am convinced social networks are going to evolve to become the next killer app. (not that I care about the "killer app" part.) I WANT some of this functionality myself and am trying to piece some stuff together. Has anyone used WASTE or DirectConnect? (note: I think encryption is important.) or similar software for enterprise file sharing? GNUcleus? I want to implement one and/or two approaches for building social networks. (1) WASTE (still learning - but I think it does what I want out of the box- sort of). (2) a more sophisticated VPN solution, featuring (sort of my preference right now). - downloadable VPN client. - centralized user authentication and mgmt (worthy of discussion) - private network (D)DNS services - IM Server(s)/Client(s) - GNUtella? peer to peer network running on VPN. ================= Although a public key and trust based system is worthy of note and probably is also worthwhile. I like the idea of being able to use a single P2P client to access all networks - ie Internet / VPN GNUtella / Trust network. The client would need to be able to change security settings for folders and optionally files based on which network is trying to access the files. Although I would be willing to drop internet p2p in favour of VPN GNUtella and use another client for trust relationships. Are there any good links that detail all of the "bitTorrent" type applications? Missing in the above - relationships. part of the scope of the above of to roll out a peer "club" - which uses this technology as its base environment. VPN to access online environment. LDAP for distributed authentication. Toolkits and APIs for people to build services to a "known" group of peers. There will be two types of membership rollouts. <peer trust> - akin to terrorist cells. peer cells will have common links to other peer groups. ie a hockey team might be one peer cell. each member on the hockey team might start a family cell, and friends cell. etc etc etc. <hierarchical> a formal club hierarchy rather than ad hoc. much more organized. This is a whole can of worms. another day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:147433 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
