Re: Fwd: How to get linux to pwn Win Servers viaSMB?

Robert Parkhurst — 2012-05-15T15:49:25

Microsoft is an evil we usually have to deal with while at work..

As far as managing AD/SMB, Windows server has these tools built in and
they're pretty good.  At its base it's an LDAP implementation but I've
never really run straight LDAP queries against it.

Fwd: How to get linux to pwn Win Servers via SMB?

Tristan Mendoza — 2012-05-14T02:30:42

I forgot to send this to ALG Tech-

I was thinking about (complaining!) Microsoft dominance in the workplace
as per job stuff.  I am pretty much dedicated for the moment on LPIC but
I think I will probably have to get an MCSA  due to job postings.
ugh

Have you run across respectable management tools with SMB for
administering AD domain controllers and stuff (from script or cmd line)?
It would be nice to get shell or perl scripts to manage AD LDS and such.

Re: Know anyone who needs a jr. admin?

Magic — 2012-04-25T01:36:36

My $.02: HostGator wasn't a bad experience.

There are some people who you can learn from just by generally conversing
while on break-Michael Collins, I'm looking at you, here-and if you want
to, you can get access to a bash prompt pretty quickly on the shared
servers and start getting inventive. You can even start scripting stuff to
help yourself do your job from day one.

As far as the atmosphere goes, the ATX office was pretty easy to work in.
Phones, tickets, or chats, it's helping people with the internet, and
mostly working in a shared linux environment. Didn't take too long to get
into a better position.

Turnover? It's tech support. It's thankless drudgery on the face of it (to
be kind), and you have to work to make it fun for yourself. Luckily, they
seem to know that, and do some things to facilitate it.

Again, at least it's a (mostly) Linux shop. Do your time until you get your
RHCSA/RHCE and move up or move on, or both.

I have always been weary of HostGator for all the same reasons, Tristan.

Tristan Mendoza — 2012-04-25T00:43:11

I visited HostGator about a year ago and got a little nervous at the 
corporate 'air' about the place in regards to things like job security.  
Plus the fact that they are always hiring tells me they have a high 
turnover.
Oh, and LOL the giant display of Tux on top of a pile of money in the 
lobby was a little bit of a turnoff :)
I might end up settling for going back though- I am not too crazy about 
getting thrown on the phones with quotas

Someone mentioned LPIC 1 and 2, so I am seriously considering switching 
gears and going toward those to see if it significantly make up for 
recent on-the-job work.

Phonon?

Robert Parkhurst — 2012-04-17T22:01:58

Hi everyone,

I'm getting into QT and playing with its audio and video APIs.  I
haven't really worked with Phonon and know that a while back it had a
really bad reputation for not working so I always went with ALSA if
possible.  Has anyone used Phonon more recently?  How is it?


Thanks,

Robert
