    That pretty much sums it up, DSA is an IBM application and that tells you all that you need to know. It's unrelated to system logs and other platform tools. The application that you use is DSA itself.

    I used it a while back when I was hosting some sites on C@C. It didn't support Centos 7 at the time, and a quick glance would indicate that this is still true.

    EMSTP is the email protocol and has nothing to do with your email being rejected. The email was delivered and the recipient's system looked at it and decided that it looked like SPAM.

    The following organization rejected your message: myesmtp., why not rejected by destination email domain ?? ex : The following organization rejected your message: mycustomer.com

    That's the organization name. It's probably the name of their SPAM filter.

    From a perspective of stateless, it is relatively trivial, and often actually trivial, to reproduce or recreate any aspect of an IT infrastructure as long as the storage is still intact. In many modern cloud architectures we can actually rebuild an entire network in a matter of minutes without needing to go to backups or to even take backups. Data storage is unique as the only component of many modern network designs that even has a reason to have backups taken of it!

    Isn't using a SSH key and a password considered two factor authentication?

    It is not generally considered to be this. An SSH Key is just a really, really long password that you probably can't remember. Would you consider having two passwords, both entered from the same place, to be two factor? I would not. It's more like one factor plus. It's an incredibly secure single factor, but the key itself is still a single factor, just a really strong one.

    @scottalanmiller what file on Ubuntu do you look at to get the name of the machine?

    Why get that complicated? Just ask the machine its name.

    uname -n

    or

    hostname

    UNIX people know to do the former rather than the more obvious later as the former command, uname, is an "always safe" command no matter what typo follows it. Hostname is safe when run without anything after it but if you bump a key after typing the command you might accidentally rename your running system which could cause issues if anything depends on the name.

    This model does make sense. The only other option would be to put up pay walls on all websites out there, and you would have to pay them directly to gain access to their content.

    A few places might manage to leave their stuff open, private blogs, etc, but for the most part news and other typical journalism would die a quick death as most people are unwilling to pay for it. Though, in thinking that through, what we'd probably end up with is a what we had 20 years ago, newspapers, a collection of writers, etc that all work under a single corporate umbrella. So you'd subscribe to one of these services and only see their tiny portion of probably slanted views.

    I'm with Scott - why would you want to do this, even for testing? If you want to make sure mail services are working, you can simply telnet into your email host use some hello/ello commands, etc to test the ability to send/pickup email, but configuring a command line client, I'm baffled.

    If you are regularly patching your systems and using an up to date enterprise OS, this should not be of serious concern. Even the biggest issues ever in OpenSSH were patched the same day that they were found and provided to the enterprise OS vendors the same day. If you had, for example, a standard weekly patch cycle on CentOS you would have been patched between zero and six days after the vulnerability was found, with an average of three days, without needing to even be aware of the issue.

    To patch OpenSSL on CentOS, for example, is just this command:

    yum -y update openssl

    And, of course, requires no restart. So even if you needed to manually patch it, you could do that hourly through a script if you had a serious concern or anytime manually.

    I am not anti-Apple and have no bone to pick with them. I am just heavily invested in a Microsoft world both at work and home and just prefer their ecosystem...BUT.........

    Not that Apples announcements were earth shattering but as always, they make it look new and cool. I've been a patient Microsoft fan since the day I finally let go of my Amiga in 1992 as my full time PC. I even embraced Pocket PC through Windows Mobile 6.5, Zune and I actually own a Kin.

    But is it me or does everything they seem to do feel half-baked or abandoned? Serious...what is Microsoft doing in all they do? Why is Outlook (Windows 10 app) so buggy? What is the status of Kinect (some of us actually like it as a gaming device)? Why is Skype still not integrated and still showing LIVE ID's? Where are the tools to convert iOS and Android apps to Windows? Why has HoloLens been pushed way back? Where is our touch version of Windows Movie Maker? Where is a Microsoft equal to iLife? Why is waiting another 1-3 months for a flagship so painful? Where is the COHESION????? Why does everything and every idea seem so half-baked????

    I totally love my XBOX One as a media center...I like Windows 10 despite it having a lot of half-baked features...I actually do use a third party app for my media, PLEX, since Microsoft Dropped Windows Media Center and it works quite well.

    I think I have a legitimate vent here...LOL

    I'ma say they are terribly misguided and could take their OS to new heights w/ a few simple steps, but compared to OS X they offer one distinct, deal-making advantage: Performance. Everything is much much more responsive in Windows than OS X. It's why I can't work on OS X and have been disappointed w/ every mac I've ever owned.

    Hopefully they'll ditch the metroey looks and get an actual designer to redo windowing and icons, but still... Windows is just fast. That's why I use it, and that's why, with one eye closed, I love Microsoft. I don't want to imagine a world where I'd have to get work done w/ OS X or Ubuntu. Shiver. I just don't want to even imagine that.

    P.S. Zunes were awesome!!!!! The Kin software looked sweet but I never played w/ one.

    P.S.S. Image uploads still don't work in Chrome, 3 weeks later.

    Kin Studio was ahead of its time:

    I can agree from experience that working with a Mac for a few months, I was not impressed. At least it wasn't this religious experience that Apple fans make it out to be. I do a lot of video editing and I knew iMovie wasn't a top notch editor but with it being on par with what I use often on Windows (Adobe Premiere Elements), I sure expected better performance...in fact, it crashed a lot!

    I loved my Zune and finally sold it when I saw no future...and I've battled 2-3 years of SLOW, SLOW progress in what is now Groove Music (devolving to XBOX Music and then slowly improving into Groove Music).

    If you are dealing with really high security stuff where you'd rather burn your data than have any risk at all of it being compromised, then I could see this making sense. But nearly everyone needs access more than they need security. This feels like putting yourself at risk of at least issues if not crisis to protect against something less likely to happen.

    Nearly everyone I know has lost a phone at some point (broken to some degree.) Or just had a phone die on them. I know almost no one who has had major systems hacked. Both happen often, but one is, I feel, many times more common.

    Yes, definitely, for a shop of any size imaging AND reimaging together make total sense. Pretty much unbeatable.
