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.

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.

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

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

I have a share with a couple of symlinked files in it. On a Samba server, it looks like this for "addon" directory: # ls -l (...) acrobatreader7 (...) addon -> /home/samba/unattended-write/packages Now, if I mount it on a Linux client using smbmount, symlinks point to non existing directories locally (/home/samba/unattended-write/packages exist only on a Samba server): #

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.

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

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]

I have a strange issue with Brother MFC-5440CN printer. When I print from Linux/CUPS, it prints colours fine. When I print from Windows, using Windows drivers (without Samba), it also prints fine. When I print from Windows through Samba/CUPS (drivers added using cupsaddsmb...), it gives me wrong colours: expected | result -------------------- yellow | blue blue | red red | green

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'm running Samba 3.0.23c on Debian-arm (unstable), kernel 2.6.18. I can copy files from the Samba server just fine, when I do it from a Linux machine. When I want to copy files from the Samba server to a Windows XP SP2 machine (connection made from Windows), it copies a couple of files, and then everything just freezes - Samba doesn't send any more packets, and I have to reconnect

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

I'm trying to cross-compile Samba 3.0.21a to run on mipsel (using uClibc). It fails at some point however, and I can't spot the problem: # ./configure --target=mipsel-linux --host=mipsel-linux --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu && make (...) Compiling lib/sendfile.c Compiling lib/time.c lib/time.c: In function `GetTimeOfDay': lib/time.c:66: error: too few arguments to function

Windows systems have a great "feature" - even administrators can't access files for which they don't have permissions (I'm not talking about files exclusively opened, which is something else). To read files which are normally inaccessible because of insufficient permissions, Windows administrator can use Windows backup API. Unfortunately, rsync Windows port doesn't

I just tried to mount Windows 2003 share. I used the following command to mount it: mount.cifs //10.1.1.1/G$ /mnt/2003/ -o user=admin,domain=MYDOMAIN The mount is fine, I can read the files. However, each and every file is owned by root, which is not true. Moreover, each and every file and folder has the same permissions, which is also not true. I can change the owners and permissions, but
