| 10:06.34 | bilarh | morning folks |
| 10:08.50 | morsing | bilarh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 10:09.50 | wethrin | heyho |
| 10:22.21 | bilarh | im snowed in |
| 10:23.55 | bilarh | has anyone used the NFS services in windows 2008r2? |
| 10:31.10 | bilarh | someone at work is really keen to use nfs server in 2008r2 to share out a cfs filesystem |
| 10:31.24 | bilarh | i'm just wondering what will happen to failover |
| 10:32.35 | Leeds | my immediate hunch is: 'it will fail' |
| 10:33.44 | bilarh | mine too, but i guess we'll see what happens |
| 10:33.50 | bilarh | i've got it working in the test domain ok |
| 10:33.58 | bilarh | but'that's not cfs |
| 10:34.12 | bilarh | my main worry is that windows wont have the same fsid on both nfs shares |
| 10:35.03 | bilarh | the windows nfs <-> ntfs mapping causes some interesting issues with regards to permissions |
| 10:35.27 | bilarh | but as long as you keep the nfs shared directory "clean" and do not copy files in to it in windows it seems to work ok |
| 10:35.38 | bilarh | however having a unified home directory across both platforms is a no go |
| 10:37.12 | bilarh | we're using ldap authentication also, against AD |
| 10:37.17 | bilarh | which surprisingly works really well |
| 11:11.47 | *** join/#gllug Leeds (~richardc@n219079197107.netvigator.com) |
| 11:52.04 | ChoHag | They didn't screw up ldap as much as some people like to claim. |
| 11:52.11 | ChoHag | They did screw it up, just not that much. |
| 11:56.46 | bilarh | certainly beats using NIS with all the head ache that entails |
| 11:59.08 | wethrin | We use NIS here |
| 12:00.40 | ChoHag | wethrin: There's always one. |
| 12:04.54 | bilarh | yes i used to use nis too |
| 12:04.59 | bilarh | i mean in a way nis is nice |
| 12:05.01 | bilarh | because it's simple |
| 12:05.10 | bilarh | but it also means you need to maintain accounts in two places |
| 12:05.17 | bilarh | assuming you've got a windows domain too |
| 12:05.37 | bilarh | with AD with the unix attributes enabled, there's only one place |
| 12:05.53 | bilarh | i've even played with radius authentication for linux lately |
| 12:06.17 | bilarh | but it sucks a bit, because you still end up having to have an ldap for account information, or end up having local accounts with the authentication done over radius |
| 12:06.20 | bilarh | which is kind of pointless |
| 12:06.49 | bilarh | on a separate note, it's so damn nice to have a new job where i get to play with stuff :D |
| 12:19.34 | hali | stuff is the shit |
| 12:19.50 | hali | and netapp is the simple solution for cifs+nfs on the same box |
| 12:45.19 | wethrin | oh, we have special scripts that pull accounts of a database, then populate AD and NIS |
| 12:49.22 | bilarh | hali: i haven't got a netapp :) |
| 12:49.36 | bilarh | wethrin: ah ok |
| 12:49.45 | wethrin | get a netapp |
| 12:49.54 | bilarh | wethrin: no you don't understand |
| 12:50.00 | bilarh | wethirn: i have no money for a netapp :) |
| 12:51.13 | wethrin | Get a cheap netapp |
| 12:52.21 | ChoHag | Interview went well. Shame it's for a cheap-arse newspaper. |
| 12:52.27 | ChoHag | At least it's not Murdoch thouh. |
| 12:53.46 | wethrin | ChoHag: Yet another job for a crappy employer? |
| 12:53.53 | ChoHag | Yah probably. |
| 12:54.07 | ChoHag | Maybe the BBC one will come through. |
| 12:54.08 | bilarh | when will you learn? |
| 12:54.17 | bilarh | stop taking random jobs all the time :) |
| 12:54.18 | ChoHag | When they stop paying me? |
| 12:54.21 | hali | financial services companies are the nuts to work for right now, there is so much opportunity to do cool stuff |
| 12:54.29 | ChoHag | Meh. I'm an Evil Contractor. It's what I do. |
| 12:56.43 | hali | so i need a new home router, should i lug an old cisco 3825 home or should i spend 50 quid on something sensible |
| 12:57.20 | bilarh | is the 3825 the one without the fan? :) |
| 12:58.29 | hali | nah, is 3U and fairly noisy |
| 12:58.51 | hali | i could try to get my boss to allow me to expense a smaller fan-less cisco |
| 13:00.45 | bilarh | my five (?) year old netgear 834dg is still going strong |
| 13:02.04 | bilarh | i still think it's ridicilous that there are no trains |
| 13:04.00 | morsing | bilarh: But there were some snow on a field |
| 13:05.31 | bilarh | my colleague put it as "snow flake on the wheel" |
| 13:46.36 | hali | yawn |
| 13:46.56 | hali | taking auditors around the datacenter, "do you have firewalls?" |
| 13:50.22 | morsing | hali: Did you point to the tape robot to see if they were clued up? |
| 13:52.09 | hali | they probably wouldn't even have looked up from their notes, just ticked the box |
| 13:55.47 | ChoHag | "do you have firewalls?" <point to xscreensaver fire hack> |

| 14:48.28 | stu_ | I often hear announcements about the "wrong sort of leaves" on the line |
| 14:48.44 | stu_ | which apparently can't be removed by their leaf remover |
| 14:48.53 | stu_ | because they are just "wrong" |
| 14:48.57 | Armand | You mean, the guy with a broom ? |
| 14:49.15 | stu_ | it could well be a broom/leaf compatibility issue |
| 14:50.02 | Armand | Ahhh.. yes.. the broom is not backwards compatible.. they should upgrade to a Windows '98 edition. |
| 14:52.19 | stu_ | i do enjoy the occasional BSOD on my commutes |
| 14:52.35 | stu_ | but they are no where near as funny as the announcements |
