Comment on Draytek 2710 series and multi WAN IP by Dan

All that functionality hidden away by CSS.

I was bitten by this whole issue. It brassed me off to see on the international site that PPTP dial in VPN was available but that had been cropped for the UK version. Now I see how it was done and I may get some mileage out of the 2710 yet. I was just about to go and buy something else (not Draytek purely because I felt like I had been burnt). So this site has saved me some money! Thanks.

Comment on Setting up a DRAC card using Debian by Gavin Hamill

Just another bump for this solid gold article! I have wondered how to do this for ages – I was fully expecting to have to run rings around Dell’s enormous OMSA blob for RedHat, extract bits, maybe use alien and get compatible library versions just to run ‘racadm’ – never knew that DRAC responded so gracefully to IPMI!

I agree about the Skitch interface. They threw out every UI convention in existence. (That’s not a compliment.) I stick with it because I find the ability to quickly mark up a screenshot really really important. It’s amazing how useful it is to be able to draw a big red arrow sometimes.

I should’ve also mentioned: I tried Skitch, but the huge bulky UI bugged me. I love Scrup because it’s so small, the edit window is unobtrusive and you can switch it off completely if you want.

FYI: Skitch also allows you to share photos using other methods besides skitch.com. https://img.skitch.com/20120329-cjj7xsj58uci8grnqk8abkx4md.png

Comment on Fixing Android 2.2 Sync after Upgrading to Exchange 2010 SP1 by shihab

After long 3 hour efforts, i just managed to connect my galaxy tab 7″ with exchange server 2010 once again. Not sure if i understood right, but i had to delete/rename both email.apk and email.odex files from the /system/app folder. then i copied the latest Email.apk. Even without restarting, my email application connected to Exchange Server 2010.

Wow!! solved the mystery after almost 6 months!!

Comment on Naglite2 finally released by Laurie Denness

Nico, naglite3 is not published by me.

Not sure why it would make a difference between RHEL5 and 6, however I think the default PHP configuration in RHEL doesn’t allow for “lazy” PHP opening tags (e.g. “

I’ve been tasked with migrating an old Naglite2 setup to a new host, and your current version. The git published Naglite3 runs well on RHEL 6, with the status.dat set correctly: I could even RPM bundle that for RPMforge, if you like. But under RHEL 5, it requires Duration.php (which is not built in), inc.inc (which is not built in), and even when I bring those over from someone else’s old setup which they’ve manually created some time ago, I get a screen full of a published index.php contents, not an actual working Naglite.

So, is there any point for me to try to integrate Naglite2 to RHEL 5? Or am I a lot better off simply jumping to RHEL 6 and working with Naglite3?
