I have only recently been in a position of enough authority to request, approve, and decline quotes for services. Since I've never actually done this before, then, I'm in a bit of a pickle. It's easy to accept a quote, but how do I go about declining one, especially when I need to continue...

In case anyone doesn't know, Stretch over at PacketLife has finished migrating to his new site and has made his CCNP notes available. These are a great resource for anyone studying to pass that exam. http://packetlife.net/library/notes/

I have two SonicWall Pro 3060s that I'm trying to create a site-to-site VPN tunnel between. One (192.168.b.1) is running SonicOS Enhanced and the other (192.168.c.1) is running standard. The VPN is up and passing traffic and it seems to be very stable, but the logs are filling up with the...

I've read the Microsoft guides on best practice and I know how to do it, but those are for an ideal circumstance. Has anyone here actually done this across an entire network, and if so, are you willing to share your story so I can go in with my eyes a bit more open? Thanks in advance.

I've looked around, but I can't seem to find a reputable place to get a .dll of the gpgme extension for PHP on Windows. I don't have the tools or knowledge to build it myself. Anyone have a suggestion on how to enable these functions on Windows?

As part of my job training, I'm writing an SMTP client. I'm running into a problem with socket_read(). From the manual: Return Values socket_read() returns the data as a string on success, or FALSE on error (including if the remote host has closed the connection). The error code can be...

I have OSSEC 2.0 installed on a CentOS 5.3 server, but I can't get any of my Windows agents to connect to it. I've checked the application firewall on Windows (it's not enabled), but the OSSEC agent log just says that it can't connect to the server. Does anyone have a suggestion about what to...

Has anyone put a host-based intrusion detection system in place recently? I know that that ISC recommends OSSEC, but I'm curious what else you have used and what you thought of it. Thanks in advance.

I need to decommission an old Server 2000 PDC. I've already put the new box in place and transferred all the FSMO roles (I think), but I wonder if anyone knows of a step-by-step guide that would make sure I don't miss a step while in the process of removing the old machine. Any suggestions are...

I recently purchased and installed a new package for web-based testing so that our Operations group can make sure everyone's skills are sharp, but after installing it on my intranet server, I had a huge jump in the number of 304's in my IIS logs. I just ran some queries on them and turned up...

I have a VPN established between my headquarters and our remote processing facility. At the remote facility, I have a WAN aggregator that I want to grab SNMP data from, but I don't want to have a second SNMP service running at the remote site. Is there a way to go through the VPN to the remote...

I wrote a site for our internal users to upload files from clients over an SSL connection (as opposed to using FTP or e-mail to move these files). However, as always seems to happen, management now wants to allow clients to use the site as well. So, to that end, I need to shore up it's...

I ran in to a problem where the VPN between two of my offices went down due to a hardware failure and when we got it back up, the mapped drives between the two domains didn't re-establish. I checked the trusts and relationships, but they all looked good. After trying everything else, I went...

I have an external server running IMAP over SSL that my clients connect to for e-mail. Unfortunately, since we switched the server over to using SSL it has shown up as a false positive in my error logs. Is there a configuration change that I can make on the SonicWall or the mail server that...

I have the following code that is part of a CLI script. As you can see from the comment, I don't know what to change so that when the user types in the database password the screen either doesn't display anything or masks the input with another character. // Check if database password flag was...

I'm trying to create a script that would run as a service on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have seen the PEAR class to create deamons on a Linux box, but I didn't see anything to do with Windows. Is this even possible, or do I need to look at doing it in a different language?

...the problem is that we don't have an Exchange server. This is a new user, just started today. When I tried to set up Outlook, it opened up and attempted to connect to an Exchange server. When I try to cancel that (or if I let it time out) it won't let me tell it to use IMAP instead...

We just set up a VPN between two Pro3060s between our HQ and a remote office. Both sites are behind a Powerlink WAN aggregator which is recognized as a NAT/NAPT device by both devices (noted in the log). When we first set it up, everything worked fine but about 30 minutes later we couldn't...

I keep getting alerts in my log about a TCP FIN scan from my external mail server's IP address on port 143 (IMAP). I can't get the mail system admin to make changes to the mail server, so is there a way to tell the sonic wall that it's not really a FIN scan and keep these alerts from filling up...

Saw this on the ISC today. A team of researchers at Princeton has discovered that the secret keys used to encrypt and decrypt data by most whole-disk encryption products stores the key in the system's memory (no surprise there) and that those bits of memory hold their data for up to a few...
