  • Permanently Change a Static IP Address in SCO

    May 10, 2010 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    If you need to temporarily add an IP address in SCO, you can use ifconfig ifconfig net0 inet 172.16.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 But really, that just creates an alias that will disappear once the server has been rebooted. In order to permanently change an IP address on a SCO OpenServer Release 5, I used SCO's menu …

  • Setting Up a Site-to-Site VPN using a Linksys RV082 and OpenWrt/Openswan on a WRT54GS

    Jan 14, 2010 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    After a week of trying out several different types of VPNs (PPTP, SSTP, IPSEC) at my new office, I finally figured out a solution to setup a WAN between my Linksys WRT54GSv3 and a Linksys RV082 business router. The solution was initially presented by Joe Kelly at NerdBoys.com but I couldn't get it to actually work …

  • Securing Apache using mod_ssl, OpenSSL and Microsoft Certificate Authority (CA)

    Oct 5, 2009 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Recently, I used my Windows-based domain's Enterprise Root Certification Authority to secure my subversion repository that is hosted on an Apache-based server. The process was rather straight-forward and relatively fast -- especially because I skipped over all of the file transfers and just used vi/notepad to …

  • Windows 7: Disable Unnecessary Services on a Domain Workstation

    Oct 5, 2009 · 27 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I finally took the plunge and installed Windows 7 on my Dell Netbook (Inspiron mini iM10-008B). I originally bought the Dell to make it into a Hackbook but after I realized how time-intensive the initial setup may be, I looked to installing Win 7 for instant newness gratification. Initially, I was going to install the …

  • Securing Subversion with Windows 2008 Kerberos-Based SSO and Linux-Based Apache

    Oct 3, 2009 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Some things just belong on Linux. Like Subversion and Apache, for instance. I've seen the ghetto workarounds for Windows-based Apache installs and no thanks -- I'd much rather waste my time on ghetto SharePoint workarounds. But I sure do like the way Windows-based web servers such as IIS seamlessly and securely …

  • FIX: 'Cannot Write Pam Settings' when Joining a Windows Domain in SuSE 10.3

    Jan 19, 2008 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Today I attacked my 2008 technical to do list and setup a subversion server for backups/source control. It was actually pretty darn easy in SUSE 10.3. After I got it going, I wondered if I could have it automatically authenticate against my HOME domain. So, using SuSE's menu driven interface YaST, I easily added my …
