That's still once too many.

And still one more than I've ever seen of VxFS. I've managed many, many petabytes of VxFS file systems, and never lost so much as a single file to FS corruption.

(even when I had a coworker manage to import the same VxVM disk group on 2 cluster nodes simultaneously and mount the FS in both places...). A little private region editing and I was able to correct the damage.

Seriously, if you have coaxial jacks, get MoCA bridges. They're awesome.

Welcome to 1992. ... What's the codename for Windows 8? Pink?

The revenge of Taligent.

What's next? Microsoft CyberDog?

... and you think dropping a check off in person will help?

My (previous) mortgage company deposited my mortgage check... and I have no idea whose account got credited for it, but it wasn't mine.

The check cleared, I marked it as such in my bank book, and the only clue something was wrong was when I went from 0 bill collector calls (since I pay all my bills on time) to 4 in one day all about my mortgage. Even after I opened a case, and they started investigating, AND finally credited me back, they STILL had the hounds calling me.

I had to tell them the next call was going to my attorney before they stopped.

So, even dropping that check off in person won't necessarily help. Mistakes can (and do) happen.

Cabletron token-ring 16mbps!

Godspeed, Endeavour. It's a real shame to retire these workhorses. Are they expensive? Yes. Are they exactly what was envisioned in the 70's? No. But, so what? They're still incredible machines that do things mankind has NEVER been able to do before.

The ISS? Wouldn't be possible without the Shuttle.
Hubble? Impossible without Shuttle.

They're workhorses, and it's a damned shame that we, as Americans, have gotten ourselves into such a political quagmire that we can't figure out how to keep man in space. Depressing.

Is that you Vaclav? How many hectares to a tank of kerosene?

Why, oh WHY don't I have moderator points today ?????

You realize that the Apple Airport line supports RADIUS authentication, right?

All that said... The way I'd do it - to make support easy AND keep things secure - is a completely open WiFi access point. No encryption, no passwords required.

The trick is, the access points would only have one destination available - the VPN concentrator. Simple. Enable AES-256 on the VPN concentrator, and you're in business.

Sniff all you want - we'll make more. End users would connect to the VPN the same way from home or from the office WiFi. Easy, cheesy, and keeps the distinction between working at the office and remotely that much smaller.
