Connect to Openfiler SAN using CHAP authentication (MS iSCSI Initiator)
Assuming that you’ve made yourself familiar with the procedure on how to allow/deny access to a specific lun based upon IP addresses, then you might have wondered if you can secure access to a LUN even more. After all, spoofing an IP address is not that hard to do, and if IP based ACL is […]
Bind network interfaces on Linux for redundancy, load balancing and performance
If you have multiple network interfaces in your linux machine (and ideally they have the same speed & duplex), you may want to ‘bind’ the adapters together to increase bandwidth and create some redundancy. Before going into the details on how to set this up under Fedora/Openfiler/other… linux flavors, I’d like to give some info […]
Running Snort with Dynamic IP on Fedora
One of my Linux boxes has a direct cable connection to the internet. I’ve been using Snort in corporate environments for a long time now, but I never had to configure snort to look at interfaces that have a DHCP assigned IP address and actually use that IP address as its HOME_NET. There’s an easy […]
How to mount an Openfiler snapshot in Windows

In this post, I’ll show how to connect to the SAN from Windows First, make sure you have the Microsoft iSCSI initiatior software loaded onto your system. The […]
Create a free SAN on Fedora Core 6
While setting up the basic infrastructure for my VMWare environment, I wondered if it would be possible to emulate a SAN on a Linux box, for free. And as a matter of fact, it is possible. I stumbled across the iSCSI Target project on sourceforge which was built to do exactly that. In this post, […]
Restoring 2003 AD Objects using Windows 2008 Server
Anyone managing an Active Directory knows about the administrative troubles and work that can be caused when an object (such as a user) gets deleted.

Set up Anonymous Access to Sharepoint sites
The default behaviour for public internet facing websites should allow for anonymous access, but in reality, SharePoint does not accept anonymous access by default.
