@JaredBusch Honestly Jared what the f[moderated] do you care what I do with my personal time?

Mind your own business.

Because bad IT at home leads to bad IT at work.

I don't consider the exercise of learning how to restore a larger partition to a smaller device, assuming data is smaller than the new smaller drive.

you're so awesome!

Aww thanks for noticing

@syko24 client likes to throw around big numbers. they are slow payers though.. so we will see.

So I decided to try hooking up a new install of openfire to my domain controller (Zentyal). Turns out you need a more recent version of prototype.js to make it work correctly.

cd /opt/openfire/plugins/admin/webapp/js; mv prototype.js prototype.js.old; wget https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.1.0/prototype.js systemctl restart openfire

At that point clear your browser cache if you had started the setup configuration via web browser already, and you should be able to complete the setup using your Active Directory information.

I know, I know, way beyond the article scope, but I figured it would save some of us a little headache.

Something that every user needs to know: "When everything is high priority, nothing is high priority."

I just had a user do this same thing, something that literally cannot be completed until tomorrow, was High Priorority (1-2 hours) today...

I skyped and ask if someone was crying wolf...

@scottalanmiller I almost never use them. A few service accounts and that's about it.

If you have a second DC, the secondary DNS should point there rather than to the gateway.

If you don't have a second DC, then it should be blank.

Making heads and tails of text files...

By default, the head and tail commands each give an output of ten lines. That's not bad, and for many things it is all that we need. But there are times that it would be nice to get more or less from these commands.

To get head to give us a different number of lines, just add the number of lines that you wish to be returned following a hyphen, as it if were a normal flag. Here is an example to return the top five lines of a file.

# head -5 /var/log/messages

Strangely, and I have no explanation for this, tail works similarly but not exactly the same. The tail command needs a "-n" flag followed by the number of lines that we wish to extract. So if we wanted to see the final eighteen lines of a text file we would do it like so:

# tail -n 18 /var/log/messages

@JaredBusch That's true, lots of categories now.

@scottalanmiller We had an issue where jquery was calling to the web, and we addressed that a couple of weeks ago. I do not think there are any other calls to the outside web.

Could be calls going through the DC's DNS but need to resolve externally for some reason, too.

@scottalanmiller Thanks, I did have them assigned as dedicated resources/DCs.

It was definitely a bug in the Pertino client (build 520):
So after dealing with Pertino support, they recommended I try the previous build (510) and that seems to have corrected the issue. They mentioned there were some other problems that led them to pull down the 520 build from the site and replace it with the 510. Support said that a new build (526) should be released soon.

Just got a confirmation from Vitelity, they do use UDP.

Really useless. They use UDP for what? SIP (not normal) or RTP (normal) or both?

only if you are trying to monitor everything on a network connection - and that it requires the use of port mirroring on the switch to be of any use.

If you ARP spoof you don't need that.

Is this a practical troubleshooting process? Spoofing MACs?

Oh no, not practical for troubleshooting. I was just pointing out it can be done without needing access to the switch. I wasn't trying to correct you, just pointing it out for anyone else reading through.

I'm probably going to go for state jobs. I'm paid in bread and water currently so it's a big step up for me and a pretty secure job from what I'm told. I also miss working on a team.

My take on that is, as a general thing...

The more secure a "job" is, the less secure the "career" is.
