OpenLDAP - Configuring a server to authenticate ...
ObjectivesThis screencast continues on with the ldap server we setup in the previous screencast, but this time we will configure another server (client.test.net) to authenticate its users against our LDAP. This is a concept known as centralised user authentication, where by we can store all our users and their credentials on one server. The screencast is basically a walk through of the changes that need to be made to PAM (pluggable authentication modules) which Linux uses to determine how user...

Zenoss - Installation and monitoring a server vi...
In this screencast I show you how to download and install the Zenoss server software, how to configure an Ubuntu Linux server to run SNMP and then how to add that SNMP enabled server to Zenoss for monitoring.Hopefully someone with find this helpful to get them up and running quickly with Zenoss. Just as a precautionary note, I would probably advise against using SNMP (and certainly with my config file) if you’re monitoring servers over the internet, but on a secured LAN it should be fine.Below...
