Photos from the Install Fest

Some photos from the Install Fest 2009. It really was fun and we had a number of library patrons drop in to chat and get free software! We also installed Linux on half-a-dozen different systems which were given away at the end of the event.

What pathname should FreeBSD choose for the "internationalization" ports.

Earlier this morning I had an idea to propose an online poll after following a discussion on the freebsd-ports mailing list about what to name the new category for internationalization ports.

Here are the results so far...

check_zone nagios plugin published

I have finally taken some time to polish off my DNS zone checker and upload to Nagios Exchange.

check_zone.pl will query each published nameserver for a domain, reporting any problem it finds. It checks for serial # mismatches, non-authoritative answers, unreachable or other lameness.

Please try it out and rate or review!

Book Review: Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security

Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security by Yanek Korff

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
It was about what I expected. The sections on pf and osiris were the most interesting. It's due for another revision. There was no mention of portaudit or vuxml, which any FreeBSD user should know about. The was also no mention of IPF which surprised me - only ipfw and pf were discussed. There was no mention of monowall or pfSense which are based on FreeBSD.
