OP Small Business SysAdmin job
by Billy Crook 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

I'm looking to hire a fellow sysadmin with 2+ years experience. You will work with me to help look after a couple dozen servers and as many desktops and users. Two colo racks and one employee office, all in Johnson County. The Office is at 13220 Metcalf, in South OP. No out of town travel required. We're a cyber security consultancy, small company with a casual workplace environment. Scripting is especially important to keep up with growing workloads. Fluency isn't required in any language, but familiarity is expected in any. Must be willing to manage multiple projects concurrently. For me this means queuing in screen sessions, tabs, email labels. There will occasionally be after-hours work. Particularly, time-sensitive maintenance. Incident response can happen any time 24x7 as well, but is quite rare. Most production applications are Java or PHP on MySQL. Other staff do development work, we facilitate deploys and keep it running smoothly once it's out. Since we are a managed security firm, any recent, non-trivial security work would be a plus. The successful candidate must enjoy hands-on learning and have a successful track record of technical problem solving and individual accomplishment. I'm particularly looking for an OSX and Apple hardware savant. That's the most common desktop in use at the office, and it'd be nice if we had someone on staff who could run circles around AppleCare any day. I'm also particularly interested in someone who wants to eventually work early hours e.g. 0200 to 1000 to increase clock coverage during which an admin is ready to handle incidents. I realize that is a long shot however. Some buzzwords: OSX, Mandriva, Enterprise Linux, JAVA, Tomcat, Apache, VMWare, MySQL, PHP, BASH, Expect, Cisco, Nagios, Cacti, Git, Atlassian Confluence, Jira, Hudson, Screen, LDAP, Radius, SAN, Backups, Failover, Asterisk, BIND, Google Apps, Documentation. Let me know if I've left anything out. We haven't posted the position yet, but we're looking for candidates. Please reply for more details if you are looking for a job like this. Pay is good, but I shouldn't put a number in public yet. I wan't to see who's out there.

Geeky schwag offered in exchange for DNS usage reports
by David Nicol 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

who works at ISPs any more? DNS resolving seems awfully centralized these days, what with the high-bandwidth backbones and overengineered central servers. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bert hubert <bert.hubert(a)netherlabs.nl> Date: Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 2:05 PM Subject: [Pdns-users] Want to help PowerDNS? Want a free PowerDNS mug? Please send in (anonymized) PCAPs! To: pdns-users(a)mailman.powerdns.com, pdns-announce(a)mailman.powerdns.com Hi everybody, Over the years, DNS access patterns change. New versions of popular operating systems, whole new operating systems, DNSSEC, larger IPv6 deployments, the shift to mobile etc mean that the strategies for best DNS performance are changing. A few years ago we asked you to help us optimize the PowerDNS Recursor by sending us (anonymized) dumps of resolver traffic, and that was tremendously helpful for us in improving the performance of the recursor. We are now asking you to help us again, since we've observed that our few years old traffic is no longer representative of all the new devices on the internet these days. And to help you along, we'll lovingly ship you some PowerDNS mugs and pens to thank you for your PCAPS! We will of course not share your PCAP files with anybody, and we also provide the 'dnswasher' tool to remove your customer's IP addresses from the dumps. What we are looking for is traffic from/to PowerDNS Recursors. To record, try: # tcpdump -i eth0 -w for-powerdns-from-x -C 1000 -s 1600 port 53 (or -i any) And leave this running for as long as you want. It will generate 1G large PCAP files which will help us tremendously. To test yourself, feed the file generated to 'dnsreplay' for example, or 'dnsscope' and get statistics on how well you are doing. To submit the files to us, optionally feed them through 'dnswasher' to remove customer IP addresses, and then upload to ftp://training.powerdns.com/anon This anon directory is world writable, but not readable. Filenames have to be unique however. If you want, we can provide feedback on what your PCAPs have taught us, please send email to powerdns.support(a)powerdns.com. This is also the place to send your address for the free PowerDNS mugs & pens! To learn more about dnsreplay, dnsscope, and dnswasher, see http://doc.powerdns.com/html/analysis.html . To download, head to: https://autotest.powerdns.com/job/auth-git-semistatic-deb-amd64/ https://autotest.powerdns.com/job/auth-git-semistatic-rpm-amd64/ https://autotest.powerdns.com/job/auth-git-semistatic-deb-i386/ https://autotest.powerdns.com/job/auth-git-semistatic-rpm-i386/ But, to clarify, any pcap is good for us, if it is washed, analyzed or not.

Setting Gnome resolution from the command line
by Charles Steinkuehler 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Speaking of Gnome, does anyone know how to change the Gnome resolution from the command line? I don't mean using xrandr or fbset (I've tried and those don't work...this is a BeagleBone with Angstrom). When the HDMI interface is working, I can run the display settings GUI and pick from a few resolutions auto-detected via EDID. What I need is a way to ask Gnome from the command line what display options are available and select one when the system pics a resolution the HDMI monitor doesn't like (so there's no visible GUI). I can't pull up anything on setting Gnome desktop settings via the command line on Google, but maybe I'm not asking the right way. Anyone know Gnome well enough to point me towards where to start looking? -- Charles Steinkuehler charles(a)steinkuehler.net

SAMBA4 share confusion
by Michael Haworth 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Admittedly, I should be past this point, but I'm not... Trying to share a directory via SAMBA4 so that a Windows machine can write to it (transferring 700+ GB of email data). I have created the share and marked it as Writable. I've gotten the share to show up when browsing, and I have assigned allowed users via the Webmin SAMBA interface. When I browse to the share it requests my credentials (local UNIX) and then shows me the available shares, but it won't let me browse the shares. After a bit of man'ing and googling, I have gotten even more confused as there seem to be about 500 different solutions... Any pointers/advice/help? -- Mike
