I've been asked to try and generate a report to show all pcs on the network by idle time, and perhaps also by number of logons/ logoffs. This is because SMT want to try and get a picture of which assest are actually being used. I've tried several zenoss and opennms - hoping that would give me cpu useage time in a database which I could then report on via php but no luck. I'm just giving spiceworks a go now but it seems like a no dice as well. the soultion really needs to be zero install on the client side - snmp/wmi is fine Does anyone have any suggestions?

if you haven't already you might like to look at webmin which can make running some of these taksks a lot easier.

I can't say I've tryied this myself (yet) but these instructions look like they might be good: Ridiculously simple NTLM Authentication for Apache (Ubuntu) « kieranbarnes and no compiling needed

I'm running maverick with dual screen and I have had a few problems with the official Nvidia drivers with windows locking up until you click on a menu item and then they come back to life. The offical nvidia drivers can also be a pain when running the ubuntu dev builds as each new kernel often requires the Nvidia drivers to be reinstalled. I've switch to the drivers bundled with ubuntu now and everything seems to be fine - fingers crossed

how about looking at google apps for education?

it's one of those things which is actually really easy once you know what your doing! Below are my notes; Apache Single sign on with Mod_sspi Brief To password protect one or more apache directories. This is to disallow student access to the admin functions within the MTG calculator and Risk Tracker Step 1 Download the sspi mod from: mod_auth_sspi | Download mod_auth_sspi software for free at SourceForge.net Unzip the folder and find the mod_atuh_sspi.so file Copy this in the apache modules directory Step 2 Add the following to httpd.conf to load the module; LoadModule sspi_auth_module modules/mod_auth_sspi.so Step 3 Add the flowing to the vhost file within the virtualhost tags; AuthType SSPI AuthName "Test Login" SSPIAuth On SSPIAuthoritative On SSPIDomain domain.ac.uk SSPIOfferBasic On SSPIOmitDomain Off SSPIBasicPreferred On Require group "domain\GroupName" Change the domain as needed and the location to the folder you want to protect !important – the groups name can’t contain spaces!

looks like I sussed it. Was was adding the site to the 'trusted site' - turns out it needs to be added to 'local intranet' then sign in is seamless. I just to read up on grabbing the user name from the header now so that I can display it on the page and use it as a string for latter.

ok cool i'll give that ago when i'm back in the office on monday

It's Apache installed from the exe with php and mysql. No xamppl or wamp installer this time

It's all sat on windows I'm afraid so no samba. I've actually got part way there with sspi. I can can protect a folder and allow access to it only if the user is a member of a specific group. Unfortunately they get a pop up box and I can't get the single sign on bit running.

I'm trying to get get single on for an application i've built. so far I have enabled authnz-user and mod-ldap and have the following in my vhost; ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot "C:/xampplite/htdocs/test" ServerName test.midkent.ac.uk ServerAlias test.midkent.ac.uk ErrorLog "logs/moodledev.log" CustomLog "logs/moodledev-access.log" combined Order deny,allow Allow from all AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off AuthLDAPURL "ldap://serverip:3268/ou=Staff,ou=Users OU,dc=domain,dc=ac,DC=uk?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)" AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=dattwood,OU=ICT,OU=Support,OU=Staff,OU=Users OU,DC=domain,DC=ac,DC=uk" AuthLDAPBindPassword "mypassword" AuthType Basic AuthName "Protected" require valid-user when I go to my test2 url I get a pop up box as expected but it refuses to take my user anme and password and let me in. I can find anything in the error or access logs that points me in the right direction. Ultimately I want this to be able to do single sign on and a quick and dirty access control method

It's fun to play with but still missing some features such as the date and time pickers. It's also still fairly complicated - it's still a procedural language, just with drag and drop.

I can't give you the answer but we to had a similar problem. I put it down to moving to Windows 7. The problem seems to be much less now

This looks cool. There have been various versions of these floating around but this is the first I've seen running android 2. Do you have the link to where you got it from? also do you have a link to any device support site- ie where do you intend to get a firmware to upgrade it to Froyo? I agree totally with Grumbledooks comment - buy cheap devices and let the network manage them rather then trying to lock down and control the actually device it's self.

I can't see that virtulising one server is really going to give you any benefits - you'll just introduce another point of failure. If you're set on running vmware convertor to do your backups why not just virtulise the physical server every night and then restore it tot he backup server if needed?

what are you using to create the graphs? I've had good success with google charts, have a search around on the web and you'll find a good few helper classes to download to interface it with PHP. I've also used jpgraph which is pretty good

If you've added a second ip address to your NIC then you'll change to the apache config to pick this up. It's normally easier to redirect an external ip to the webserver via a firewall if possible

actually that's not so. The XKCD licensing page mentions that you should mention where the source is 'from' - where 'from' is of course the website. In terms of attribution linking to a web site in worth then just a name as with a search on a name you might get the wrong person or have them give up looking for you. Indeed if you really wanted to be picky about it you should give both the name and the link to cover both the license and the authors stated wish Also see point 4 of: How to Attribute a Creative Commons Licensed Work - wikiHow

I have the album: it's genius in it's horror

it depends what you want to do. Perl is very useful for scripting type jobs, managing servers etc Python is used a lot now-a-days in creating desktop apps esp for Linux. There are apps like quickly and acire to help with this as well

I've just set up a Shiboleth 2 IDP using the Janet Windows quick installer (well I say just - it's taken me ages) I seem to have one final niggle. When I go to the Janet test site and click on my link it forwards me to http://myentityid:80/shibboleth the problem with this being that it's not running with ':80' (if I edit the url it works fine). I've been picking through the config files and I'm blowed if I can find out where I change this. Does anyone have any ideas?

We have some wireless tablets here. They have a usb dongle to connect them to the pc/ laptop. They only cost about £100. They don't have screens but surely they can look at the whiteboard as they draw?

you should always be updating on the box as this will install security updates - which you'll want on a web facing box. As for moving to raid, reinstall onto the new box is certainly an option. I'd take a look at virtualisation options first though and maybe give them a dry run. You could p2v the test box into KVM or virtualbox

the page backgrounds a bit red. if you knocked it back the content pane would 'pop' up a bit more
