the bad news:
my license is now suspended because of that ticket i got ~3 months ago... 2 weeks ago I was asked by the court to write a handwritten letter regarding the incident, in order to get my court date... so I did.. havn't heard from them until today, and bam, out of nowhere, license suspended.. makes no sense, so now I contacted a ticket lawyer, we'll see what he says tomorrow.
annoying.
the good news:
got my server today.. been setting it up all night.. it's very fast, working great.. put tons of tools/admin stuff on it so far, including request tracker.. every action I make on the box (adding users, installing software, troubleshooting problems), tickets will be created in order to document every move i make.. pretty cool, already resolved like 4 tickets, got 1 open, lulz..
unfortunately I might need to buy one more computer.. one dedicated entirely to virtualization.. the server I bought works great for a shell + chat + web + project server, but running 30 vm's on it isn't going to happen... it has 6 gig ram, and max capacity of 8.. i need a system with 32-64gig ram for this virtualization server.
i'll probably hook up some vm's in the meantime, i mean, i already have them working -> virtualbox is installed etc..
ok so, in order to give people shells on here, i need to write a little PAM module which will authenticate users based on their SMF user/pass.... i've never written a PAM module, so no idea how that's going to work, i'll probably make alot of progress tomorrow... ideally i'd have this module working by thursday, then everyone can login.
man I have some really sick projects planned.. for anyone into comp-security on here, if you get involved, we'll have some fun... i'll put details about that on the actual box once we get that rolling..
i'm thinking about making the PAM module authenticate only if a user has 50 posts... lul.. pretty cool.. which obviously everyone on here who is interested in having some shells already has.. but it'll be a nice requirement for new people signing up.
very happy about this server though, it's fun as f*K and fast as f*q.
also, once we get this thing poppin all nice n beastin, if anyone wants to VPN a server(s) they got, we can extend the lab, i'm all for it.
i probably have one box right now i am going to VPN in... i plan to extend this project over the yearsm if all goes as planned, we'll have a ridiculous lab in a few years.
no workout today, pretty wrecked.. tomorrow i'll probably do a 'carry/holds' workout.. gotta start mixing it up a bit.
peace!!
