If you need VPN, how about setting up a pfsense firewall and use it for OpenVPN? There isn't an arbitrary limit on the number of clients, it's just up to your hardware. Surely you have a spare PC with a couple nics hanging around. Give it a reasonably current PC with a reasonable CPU and you ought to be fine. My very modest home network does fine with pfsense even running on an old pc with 2gb of memory and an Athlon 64 3200. Release 2.2 is out, based on FreeBSD 10.1 (current production release).

In fact, I have been using pfsense as my firewall for a year or so now, and I hang my wireless routers behind it - and just use them as access points. Easier to power cycle the wireless boxes when they get flaky, and it doesn't disturb the wired connections. Plus, save the pfsense config, and you can move to a faster box if you find any resource constraints. Or throw in a new pc if the old one croaks, very little down time. Or add a second box as a failover. Or... you get the idea. :-)

For example, I have modified unencrypted messages in programs I used to distribute but which could no longer be compiled from source for various reasons.

I've done the same thing, plus fix some stupid hard coded design/programming choices in a few progs, although I typically use HxD for that purpose. The template thing is an interesting idea, though... I will have to take a look!

Interesting collection. I've only owned 4 of these (Integra, Cherokee, Corolla, Beetle) but I've ridden in another dozen or so. :-)

Wow - awesome!!! Much easier to read!  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Back in the day it was just whip up something by hand... all that newfangled CSS stuff came about after I had quit doing that kind of work. Back when I had a copy of Netscape ready to install, saved on a floppy.  :P

Agent Ransack does not build or maintain an index, it searches on the fly. So it can be accurate (at least when I've used it) but don't expect results fast if you're looking through a lot of stuff. It's most useful if you can narrow down the best place to look.

General Software Discussion / HTML table formatting
« on: January 18, 2015, 01:56 PM »
So I wrote a routine to pull in some basic "who's where" information from our remote desktop boxes, and I've managed to wrap the output in about the most basic table formatting you could find. For the nonce, the info is there and usable, but it's hardly appealing. Would anyone care to take a stab at making it easier on our helpdesk staff's eyes? The border on the cells is nice to differentiate the columns, but it's very busy. The last time I did any HTML, kernel 2.2 was just coming out... things have changed since then!

Here are a few rows from the table:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. <head><b>RemoteApp Sessions for 2015/01/18 12:52</b><br><a href="desk.html">Remote Desktop Sessions page</a><br><br>click column header to sort by that column - updated every 2 minutes
  2. <script src="sorttable.js"></script>
  3. </head>
  4. <body>
  5. <table class="sortable" border="1">
  6. <thead>
  7. <tr><th>FirstSeen</th><th>Server</th><th>Session</th><th>PID</th><th>User</th><th>Application</th><th>Program</th><th>Parameters</th><th>IP Address</th><th>Computer</th><th>Session ID</th></tr>
  8. </thead>
  9. <tbody>
  10. <tr><td>2015/01/18 11:53</td><td>cotsa4</td><td>RDP-Tcp#0</td><td>5668</td><td>aycockb</td><td>"BJS Client"</td><td>"BJSUSER.EXE"</td><td>''</td><td>111.222.222.195</td><td>CODESK3</td><td>3</td></tr>
  11. <tr><td>2015/01/18 11:53</td><td>cotsa5</td><td>RDP-Tcp#0</td><td>5720</td><td>aycockb</td><td>"Paint"</td><td>"mspaint.exe"</td><td>''</td><td>(unknown)</td><td>CODESK7</td><td>2</td></tr>
  12. <tr><td>2015/01/18 11:53</td><td>cotsa5</td><td>RDP-Tcp#0</td><td>5720</td><td>smithr</td><td>"IE"</td><td>"iexplore.exe"</td><td>''</td><td>111.222.111.222</td><td>CODESK7</td><td>2</td></tr>
  13. </tbody>
  14. </table>

Shouldn't there be a link to this in this thread:D

That is this thread. :huh:

Dang clipboard managers!  I really meant this one:-[

It's all just puzzles, putting the pieces you have together somehow to make it do what you want...

I know this is a late addition, but happened to see this comment from Gizmo about NetDrive and thought of this thread:

NetDrive is available at http://www.netdrive.net/download.html and is a 49 MB download.  The program is malware-free according to VirusTotal and Web of Trust.  Prices start at $40 after the 30-day evaluation period ends. However, after the evaluation period, the program will continue to work and will allow you a single connection. So if you only need to create one external drive letter, such as to your web site or your Google Drive, the program still remains very useful indeed.

Looks fine to me - it showed two items in my system (both had display names like "clsid:etc etc"). So it runs on Win 8.1 x64 without issue.

I did the refresh a couple times, but I was scared to click the red X while I had something highlighted. Might have kicked off the self destruct sequence?  :D

Crabby, does that say he has an M.O. from the University of Verbatim, or did he get his B.%. there?  :P

If you purchase a license now, you will NOT have to pay any annual subscription fees, EVER!

I bought a Family Pack which I'll install tomorrow on at least one box. The license email did not mention the lack of future subscription fees, though I guess it's just understood.

Yeah, the stuff like OpenCandy ticks me off too.

However, part of that is because if I don't want to install the crapware, I have to read the dialogs carefully and click and check the appropriate spots, even if they are grayed out like they're unavailable.  I think that honestly, I would be slightly less annoyed if the crap-wrapper defaulted to not installing anything extra at all unless you explicitly opt in during the process.  (I can't remember, did OpenCandy start out that way?)

OK, where's that first one from?? I have two greyhounds who desperately need that hat... ;D

Thanks for the hints folks, I'll start playing around with it this week lwatcdr.

I'd like to branch out from my current language of choice (Rexx, which I've been using for the last 25 years). Coincidentally I have a need for a small routine written in Lua. Should I just hit lua.org and go through the live demo? I know I ought to buy the book and support the project, but I just wanted something fairly basic to play with at the beginning. Does anyone have some suggestions on the various online resources? Some tutorials can be better than others...

I'm always interested so I looked at the Outpost link. Is it not concerning that the free version is three and a half years old so far?

Product Profile
Release date: April 4, 2011
Version: 7.1.1 (3431.520.1248)

Eventually, I'm going to go after the whole tube vs solid state thing, too.  I'm both looking and NOT looking forward to that one.

In the end it ain't what any numbers say, it's what your ears tell you. I had a friend who went through large sums testing every variety of tube, solid state, and discreet amps, tuners, D/A converters, and so many speaker systems it made my head spin. He took his reference material around with him to listen to equipment, and when he built his most recent house had his listening room configured to the most appropriate dimensions. He kept saying you don't need huge watts if you have good clean watts.

I have to say his system sounded very nice. However, my first rock concerts, at an early age, included Strawberry Alarm Clock and Black Sabbath, so I couldn't tell the difference. (Strawberry Alarm Clock was so loud, it rivaled the Saturn 5 static tests I used to hear when we lived in Huntsville, AL, during the Apollo years!) My old Denon system with the Philips speakers has worked plenty fine for me for about 25 years now.  :P

How to Organize Your Fridge - Reviewed.com Refrigerators

No point organising the fridge, cupboard, suitcase, or any form of storage here - as soon as the wife gets into it any form of organisation goes out the window.

You shouldn't let your wife get into the fridge. That's very dangerous.  ;D

One of our larger clients has core CALs for their 1500 or so workstations, and since that includes the necessary pieces, they've mandated using SCCM/SCEP for A/V and patching. In 15 geographically dispersed (including international) locations. With a single SCCM server. And me, in my spare time, to manage it. Regardless of the fact that SCEP is crap. And that they have to use something else to handle the servers.   :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

It's just so ungodly ungainly to do ANYTHING with it. Rube Goldberg would be proud.

And certainly less complex or expensive than going with MS Systems Center.

I'd rather deploy software manually on 5.25" floppies after swimming through leech-infested piranha tanks than use System Center.

Well, almost.  :P

I've used small implementations of hMailServer several times for specific purposes. It ain't Exchange, but it works reliably and has a good bit of flexibility.

I'm pretty sure that doesnt do monitoring

For awhile now the FreeFileSync releases have included RealtimeSync. This appears to watch the source and then kick off a batch process when changes are detected. Presumably that batch process would be a FreeFileSync, but it could be anything - you just supply a command line.
