There is a reason most NMS systems used SNMP in the past and REST apis past 7+ years. They don't use CLIs except toy Expect type scripts.. Not just security but better error handling and more.

Al like any open-source or free sofware you need to put the leg work into what you want it to be. My company is actually creating something using TINC and we believe in it. If successful we'll be giving back to TINC monetarily in a big way to make TINC even better so if TINC isn't for you keep an eye on further developments in the future.

Just search online why in general that is insecure via CLI vs programmatic for first class automation.. there is a reason why snmp, rest, ... exist.

Programmatic management with first class APIs is preferred for larger deployments..

Hello ! If anybody want`s to implement the psexec unix port or samba equivalent, maybe taking a look at xCmd from Zoltan Csizmadia at http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/network/remoteinvocation/article.php/c5433/ may help a LOT and is a very good example. (This one seems to work similar like psexec - but it is available with sourcecode!) I don`t know if the author is still reachable via this

SNMP is mainly used for monitoring, not _server_ automation. Also, it's inherently insecure for anything else - only SNMPv3 offers any kind of encryption, and it's DES - 56 bit only, and you can easily brute-force it on an average computer. If you could provide some serious articles about why is CLI insecure, I'd be interested to read. Tomasz Chmielewski https://lxadm.com On

automation refers to day to day vpn management from non-IT layman... not a geek running shell/ansible scrpits.

Does LightDM support multiseat setups? For example, I have a PC with multiple graphics cards, monitors, keyboards - used by multiple users concurrently. Will LightDM let me use one PC by many users concurrently (i.e. login screen on every monitor, allowing to start different sessions for different users). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

For some reason, I'm unable to transfer *sometimes*, *some* files from a Windows server running rsyncd. 1. First, a try that succeeds - I want to copy "backup" directory, which is in "share": $ rsync --partial --dry-run -a -v --progress rsync://user@server/share/backup /tmp Password: receiving file list ... 30 files to consider backup/ backup/acls-c.bat.txt

I have the following "screens" defined in isolinux.cfg: DISPLAY about.txt F1 about.txt F2 more.txt Here is about.txt: ##### This is a sample help message. Press F1 to see about. Press F2 to see more help. ##### How can I edit these text files so that they show i.e. text in colour? Say, this is about.txt I'd like to display: ###### [clear screen character, ctrl+l equivalent]

What is the default value for --compress-level=? 6? 9? The fine manual only mentions: --compress-level=NUM Explicitly set the compression level to use (see --compress) instead of letting it default. If NUM is non-zero, the --compress option is implied. Also, what are allowed values? 1-9? 0-9? Something else? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

I just gave nouveau a try and was surprised that it just works out of the box on Mandriva. Great work! However, I'm not sure how to set up a different resolution properly. With the closed nvidia driver, I usually just click on krandrtray in KDE and pick a different resolution. With nouveau driver, though, it works as well, but only partially. I can see the resolution is theoretically

I have a server with a hosting company, Hetzner. The servers at this hosting company have a public IP, let's say, A.B.C.D/255.255.255.x. Additionally, one can order extra IPs like below: 1) additional subnet (let's say X.Y.Z.0 / 28) 2) single IP (let's say, E.F.G.H) With additional subnet, assigning the IP to libvirt guest is simple: - assign X.Y.Z.1 on the host - assign X.Y.Z.2

You've mentioned security issues in your previous email, but now you're hopping to management issues. Have you tried Ansible, Chef or Puppet for automation? It works well for hundreds of servers, different services and not just one kind of VPN.

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k
