Replace Your NT4 Domain Controller with Samba 3

  • Enterprise Networking Planet; By Carla Schroder (Posted by tuxchick on Nov 1, 2005 9:33 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Tutorial
It's official: as of December 31, 2004, Windows NT4 is no longer supported by Microsoft... For all of you hardworking sysadmins of NT4 domain controllers who are now wondering what to do, here are some of your options:

1. Change nothing. So you lose vendor support — so what? Was it so hot in the first place?
2. Upgrade to Windows XP or 2003. This costs much money in licenses, and you may need to upgrade your hardware as well. Plus you'll have a whole new set of bugs and security holes to get acquainted with. However, this also gives you Active Directory, which may be something you want to move up to.
3. Replace your NT4 box with a Samba 3 domain controller.

This series is about option 3...

AIM worm plays nasty new trick

A worm found spreading via America Online's Instant Messenger is carrying a nastier punch than usual, a security company has warned...In addition to the "lockx.exe" rootkit file, the new worm delivers a version of the Sdbot Trojan horse, said FaceTime, which sells products to protect instant-messaging traffic. Sdbot opens a backdoor on the infected PC. The worm also places several spyware and adware applications, including 180Solutions, Zango, the Freepod Toolbar, MaxSearch, Media Gateway and SearchMiracle, the company added.

[Ed.- Gee, if only there were an operating system that did not roll out the red carpet to this sort of thing. Oh wait, there is- in fact, there are several. Funny little old world, isn't it. - tuxchick]

What if we had integrated Douglas Engelbart's insights into the modern Net?

  • O'Reilly Sys Admin; By Andy Oram (Posted by tadelste on Nov 1, 2005 6:15 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: News Story
Douglas Engelbart, pioneer of the GUI and of computer-supported cooperative work, has received a couple awards of late. About 35 years late, in fact. But he hasn't let neglect (and perhaps worse, empty lip service to his accomplishments) curb his spontaneous love of exploration. Spending a few minutes with him--at a ceremony celebrating an award given last Saturday by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility--convinced me that he remains an American original with a vast scope of interests, a bit like Edison or Feynman. I wonder what the modern net of sensors and cameras and GPS devices and wireless networks would be like if we had integrated his 1960s-era insights from the start.
