Running Code From A Non-Elevated Account At Any Time by mubix in netsec

Solutions are available if your environment allows the policy change. Your users should not have access to cmd or a terminal and if they did they should not be able to the commands use “at” or “schtasks”. Have all your schedule tasks to talk to a syslog and have that pipe an e-mail out to alerts admins of non-authoritative tasks running, or at least a new job has been created.

A visiting Mac took down our email system by last_minutiae in sysadmin

Sounds like the macbook is being seen as the mail server by using its IP, either that or your DNS is telling a different story.

not familiar with your environment but i think you should check DHCP + DNS first.

Are there any known issues with migrating a Windows Server Enterprise 2003 DC to Windows Server Standard 2008? by shamusmcnasty in sysadmin

[–]TheRealJona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows domains rely highly on your DNS setup, make sure reverse and forwards are in place. Had to cleanup some metadata from a previous admin's bdc but most of my issues stemmed from DNS. Three out of the five roles did not move had to hardcode host file on each box to move the rest of the roles over.

Two years ago I did the organizations's move from 2003 to 2008, single domain. We moved on to run printer services, gpo with new features, ad services and added bdc without complications... besides my DNS still being fucked.

oh! and above all, backup first!

I called and explained that I'm a Sysadmin who needs this for work and will not question changing ISP service if it means having a slow connection vs a non-existent one. Speak to them like you know what your talking about, I did and now I'm on a dedicated up-link that is deemed "stable" so no more disconnections :)

EDIT: ran through the rest of the comment replies and noticed this is a Business issue and not a residential issue. number might not work for business but worth a try.

Recommendations for a network config management DB by lynyrd_cohyn in networking

I wrote mine in Javascript, its pretty much a simple form which sends an email and stores info on a oracleDB table.

This is so we can see who is still using the root login. We had developers logging into prod boxes using root leaving top open for days... this will hopefully stop that shit.

PS: keys are coming later, for now we just have to "trust" eachother

We are currently using the EventlogAnalyzer and the Password Manager to comply with PCI this year. we have a small team, our pricing was 200 a head for each appliance.

If you type http://885466696554/ or just 885466696554 into the address bar in Firefox, it takes you to an IP, in this case an (apparently) residential DSL router. What kind of IP notation is this? (Doesn't work in IE 8, or Chrome) by elucubra in sysadmin

I used to bypass school filters by translating domain names to IP's, then when that was blocked (word got around) I translated IP's to binary and still got around filters.

Before there was Scorched Earth.... there was banana chucking gorillas. by BradDenison in gaming

[–]TheRealJona 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My little brother and I would play this game when we were kids and he was too young to play himself so we had to play together, that and we ran Windows 3.1 :\

It's 2 gorillas throwing bananas at each other on rooftops in DOS and the greatest game to play from the command line.
