With the latest version of Windows Server 2003 R2 it is no longer needed to install Windows Services for UNIX, since this is now a part of Windows Server 2003, though not enabled by default.
I rarely shut down my laptop, but I use suspend all the time. Right now I have like 14 days of “uptime” which would have been a lot more if it wasn’t because I just installed Edgy :) I have VMware Server installed on it which I use for my work. I have all the machines on a host only network which works just great. But every time I suspend my laptop the virtually device vmnet1 seems to “go down” and I have to make a:
I am looking into authenticating users on Solaris 9 via Active Directory (AD) as an LDAP server. To chop the problem into smaller problems I started to try and connect to the LDAP interface of the AD from a platform which I know. I’m no Solaris expert :)
Trough the last year I have been really wanting to do something to my home infrastructure :) I got wires running all over, and my little trusty server makes to much noice. I would like to hook up all my clients (2 workstations and a laptop) to a wireless network, maybe even my server, to get rid of all the wires cluttering my floor. I have been playing around with the thought of of trashing my current server totally, and find a new one wich is more home friendly (less power and noise). Even though webalizer tells me I have 1.5G traffic to emcken.dk each month, its not like I need a 2.0GHz processor and 1GB ram for it.
For those who found my post about encryption of USB devices interesting yesterday… you might wanna keep an eye on this one which I stumbled upon it today. A feature request for the next Ubuntu release, Feisty Fawn:
Today I went to the Linuxforum BOF day where I attended a session about encrypting your personal files. This made me remember a post read some time ago (check out the screen cast).

Well I couldn’t make my Atheros (ath0) work as a bridged network with VMware… but I made a workaround which I want to share with you guys. Anyways I’ll have it documented if I cant remember what I did later on. I have installed VMware on my Ubuntu laptop and a edgy-alternative (server) as a guest OS within VMware. The way I did this was making my laptop into a router between the “VMware host only” net and my wireless net.
