[brlug-general] Contact Info for Brian Harris Auto
Is there a network-type admin on this list for Brian Harris Auto Group who could contact me off-list, or does someone know a contact they can send to me off-list? We share a common facility and I’d like to discuss some ISP issues/questions. Thanks. --- Keith Stokes ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net

Re: [brlug-general] Cox Residential and IPv6
I’ve done the low power stuff, but more for no-moving-parts/fans than for lack-of-utility-power. By this point for the businesses it’s not a lot of point in having Internet connectivity if the rest of the place can’t run. The places I have to deal with either close or have a generator. At home, an iPhone takes care of enough emergency connectivity or I’ll go somewhere with power and connectivity if I need it on the rare occasions when I’m out of power. There’s also no guaranty that either Cox or AT U-Verse has enough local power to wait out more than a couple of hours in their local gear during a local utility failure. That was one of the reasons for a long time I stuck with DSL pre-VDSL2. > On Jan 25, 2016, at 9:15 AM, Edmund Cramp <e...@motion-labs.com> wrote: > > After Katrina I got very interested in building a system that would stay up > as long as possible - my current setup probably pulls about 12W including > built-in Wi-Fi. > > From: General [mailto:general-boun...@brlug.net] On Behalf Of Keith Stokes > Sent: Monday, January 25, 2016 9:03 AM > To: general@brlug.net > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Cox Residential and IPv6 > > $500 pays a lot of electricity when you can probably find a free P3 or P4 > with power stepping for free.

Color me embarrassed. All these open browser windows for
configuring/testing IPv6 have been open for months and I hadn't done
anything in awhile.
Google-Foo served up this link from back in November when I tried
again: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102339.0
Follow directions, add an outbound IPv6 LAN-->WAN outbound rule and here
I am:
*Good news!*Your current configuration will continue to work as web
sites enable IPv6.
Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have IPv6
Internet access.
Your readiness score
10/10 for your IPv6 stability and readiness, when publishers are forced
to go IPv6 only

That was for the WAN connection. Google around for the wide dhcp

For the internal network, I chose to support auto config so that all

Re: [brlug-general] Crashed laptop hard drive: Data recovery options?
Try freezing it either by putting in the freezer for a few hours or freeze spray. -- Keith Stokes On Aug 12, 2014, at 5:26 PM, Philip Amadeo Saeli psa...@zorodyne.com wrote: I've had the unfortunate experience of having a laptop hard drive (100 GB PATA Seagate) [apparently] crash during a brief power outage (no UPS, no battery). After power was restored, the drive would not spin up at all. I tried a few simple tricks to get it to spin up without success (do not want to further damage the drive!). Though the most important data was on backups, there is quite a bit of data that was to be copied to a new system later that day (!), and so now needs to be recovered. What I'd like is essentially a bit-copy of the entire good portion of the drive, if possible (such as I have done on drives with bad sectors using ddrescue). Since the system was running Linux and was essentially idle during the power outage, I'm hoping that any media damage is either in the Linux /var or swap partitions, and that the other partitions are still good. The drive has 10 partitions, including ext[23], Linux swap, VFAT, and NTFS. There is one Linux installation and 2 Windows installations on the drive in a multiboot setup. I am not interested in file recovery, esp since there are quite a variety of different types of files and filesystems on the drive. I'd most like a bit-copy of the drive as much as is possible. Anyone have any ideas where I can get such service from a trusted (and not excessively expensive) provider? BTW, I'm in the NOLA Northshore area. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: [brlug-general] Cox internet service slow in evenings?
slower speed and reliability in the evenings? I've been running smokeping for a few weeks and every evening, about 7-11 speed and latency is very sporadic. I'm not 100% how long this has been a problem but back in april/may I started a new project where I have been working from home more and need to use a VPN to connect to another network. Actually, two different VPNs on two different networks. One, is Dell Sonicwall and the other is a Cisco. The Cisco, is surprisingly very stable and even though the network is flakey the Cisco stays connected. But the Sonicwall is very sensitive to the network outages. Any time the network glitches the Sonicwall disconnects and all my SSH connections drop. Now I RDP to a server on the network and run the SSH sessions from there. So I don't lose everything. But, this brings me back to Cox's evening service. A tech came out about a month ago and checked my signals which were all in the good range, he even replaced the cable modem on good faith. Even though the one I had was only a few months old.I replaced a much older linksys docsis2, with the Cisco docsis3 modem. So, the tech replaced my modem with mostly the same model modem, but still the signals are good. Normally, running a speed test on speedtest.net, i get around 30Mbps down, 15Mbps up. Just now, i got .75Mbps down, and 4Mbps up. My smokeping is hitting 3 Cox DNS servers and one of their web servers and a handful of other high profile servers. As well as two of my own personal, which have no traffic and should be no lag what so ever. Yet smokeping shows dropped packets and higher latency. I've called a few more times to try to explain the problem again. Monday i called and the guy said they will send someone to check from the house out. Last night I called and the person wanted to schedule a tech to come to the house again. I asked for level 2 support and was put on hold for an hour. I eventually hung up. If I were just web surfing, i would probably have never noticed and probably wouldn't care, but now that i'm using the VPN a lot it would be nice to have stable service in the evenings. has anyone else run into this and have any suggestions about how I can get to the bottom of it with cox? I don't want to move to another ISP, but if it comes down to it, i will. thoughts? suggestions? bullshit remarks from jarred? -- Have Mercy Say Yeah ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- Have Mercy Say Yeah ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- Have Mercy Say Yeah ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- Have Mercy Say Yeah ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- Have Mercy Say Yeah ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net --- Keith Stokes ___ General mailing list General@brlug.net http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net

Re: [brlug-general] Nagios issues
I've been using Nagios for 5+ years and as such, have a massive config
from the old 1.x version. I use NSClient+ on the Windows side.
All of my commands for disk space require defining Critical and
Warning levels.
i.e.
define command{
command_namecheck_nt_disk_d
command_line/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l d -w 95% -c 98%
}

Hi all, looking for my Nagios gurus out there.
I'm trying to monitor some Windows systems using Nagios through
OSSIM. OSSIM is just an SIEM platform that rolls a bunch of open
source security stuff like snort, nagios, ntop, openvas, etc. into
one nice package with a great web interface. It ships with Nagios3,
and it sort of has its own idea of where/how nagios configs should
be placed.
Regardless, I am trying to use the check_nt command to poll
various information on my Windows servers. So far, a lot of the
checks are working properly, but some are not and I can't figure out
why. The cfg file for the server has the following service check for
disk usage:
# Create a service for monitoring D:\ disk usage
# Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above
define service{
use generic-service
host_name SERVERNAME
service_description D:\ Drive Space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l d
}
Within the actual OSSIM web site where you can see statistics/info
on your monitored systems, it shows an OKAY for many of the
checks, but for this USEDDISKSPACE check, it says: missing -l
parameters
That references check_nt, I am fairly certain means nt.cfg which
is located at /etc/nagios-plugins/config and has the following
content:
# 'check_nt' command definition
define command {
command_namecheck_nt
command_line/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H
'$HOSTADDRESS$' -p 12489 -v '$ARG1$' '$ARG2$' '$ARG3$'
}
I hardcoded the port into that command as none of the checks were
working at all without it. Now the checks for memory, CPU, etc. work
- but this one still doesn't. Moving on.
The file located at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt seems to be a
binary file of some sort. I am assuming that because catting it just
spits out a bunch of garbage.
The -l d argument above tells it to check the disk space on drive
letter D. I know that check_nt is working properly because if I
manually run it from the command line, it's successful:
hostname:/etc/nagios-plugins/config# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
check_nt -H 10.0.10.10 -p 12489 -v USEDDISKSPACE -l d
d:\ - total: 2.00 Gb - used: 0.01 Gb (1%) - free 1.99 Gb (99%) | 'd:
\ Used Space'=0.01Gb;0.00;0.00;0.00;2.00
So, that works. Where is the disconnect between what I'm doing on
the command line and what's in the config script? I'm at a loss. Any
feedback or assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!

Re: [brlug-general] Offsite DNS hosting for Active Directory
If your only goal is to provide DNS, how about running BIND on a Linux box? I haven't explicitly done it, but Win DNS does support BIND secondaries. There's only 1 drawback with that plan that has bit me in the behind recently. I had a similar site from which my backup DC was removed from the budget. I wasn't happy but figured it would be okay with the cached logins. Last week the DC went down and all of my Terminal Sessions couldn't log in. We have repeatedly tested and it's consistent. Research by one of the guys in my group showed that while you can log onto the console of a server (and a workstation is in fact the console) RDC and all other network sessions are not supported with cached credentials. In other words, you can log onto your workstation, but forget about getting to a network resource. Is that going to work for you? As far as hardware costs go, you can use one of my solutions: I run a virtual DC on a workstation as a backup. This PC happens to be at my house and runs over a VPN, but obviously it would work better on the LAN. I did it at home so that I'd have an offsite AD backup. Of course you still have the server license with which to contend. Now that I'm thinking...has anyone used Samba recently for DC backup? As I remember, version 3 and before only supported NT4 auth, but would that be enough to get to the network resources? Now I'm going to have to try that. Samba 4 is supposed to be fully AD-integrated whenever it comes out.

Re: [brlug-general] Apple
I think the concept is that Ubuntu is dumbed-down and minimalistic to the degree that a normal computer user might be able to actually install and use it. It's got amazing hardware drivers too.

Re: [brlug-general] PfSense
I have all of the above... my home router is a Sokris box running embedded PfSense. I haven't updated in way too long and it just runs. I have an IPSEC VPN tunnel that's up full-time to a PIX and it's rock-solid. I also use PPTP VPN for myself to get in from the outside world. For this particular project we have a backup site with between 100-1000MB bandwidth, depending upon who's looking. Drop a baby PIX on it and look up the specs: throughput is around 60 Mbs but drop an 3DES VPN on the box and it drops to 3 Mbs. We built up a few boxes with more horsepower and are running about 300-400 Mbs. Question is how much do we suffer with an IPSEC VPN since we don't have any hardware acceleration. Not yet deployed so I was wondering if anyone else had any experience. On Jan 5, 2010, at 6:20 PM, Dustin Puryear wrote: Ah, IPSEC tunnels.

Re: [brlug-general] The market has rejected Linux desktops. Getover it.
We have around 120 servers in our data center. It's probably half-and- half for me. If it can be run on Linux, it is. The front end of the application runs on Windows and is served via TS. Almost everything else, databases, management, etc, is run on Linux. Corp office might be a little heavier toward Linux and a few Unix. Windows is used only for stuff that ties directly to Windows desktops (not fighting that battle) like file/print/authentication services.
