 I was wondering if there were any debian tools used for working with Cisco
there is wonderfull perl module for configuring Cisco routers.
besides that you've got all default tools like telnet;),snmp utils like
mrtg etc..

 which are useful unless you have to manage lots of those boxes, 
I wouldn't know.
but isn't that what OpenView is for? and is unbeatable in that field?



Re: Transfer data between two comps without network

 I've used schemes such as piping data across an SSH process to achieve
 this without having to encrypt the files on disk.  In fact, that's how our
That was the original scheme, but bosses hmmm, after some consultations
said that we should transfer data on cd-roms with armed guardian.
so now we've got problems, and deadlines haven't changed
although we had no idea of those security issues to be resolved.

And - if I could connect those two comps by some network daily data
transfer would rapidly go down - 100, 1000times less.
problem is - machine with source data contains security-sensitive

Transfer data between two comps without network

2000-05-17 Thread Dariush Pietrzak
Welcome,
my problem is that I have to transfer large amount of data (20~50 Gigs)
daily.
And it can't be done via network due to  'secret' nature of that data.
I considered IDE disk put in hot-swap bay, but I found that's not the
best way to do that:
i got system on scsi disc, compiled ide-disk support as module
and when I want to remove ide-disc i unmount it, rmmod the module
then swap the discs, modprobe ide-disk, mount it.
That scheme works ... but sometimes it fails.. and when it fails I have
to reboot the system to be able to mount ide disc. that situation
is unacceptable.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
 (data should be moved via some physical way, not using network as that's
 what bossess fear the most, zip drives could be nice, but they
B are too small, streamers seems to be to slow )
