    Open LDAP GUI

    If you are using Redhat, look into using their Identity Management software. It's based on FreeIPA, which has a really nice GUI and integrates LDAP, kerberos, and tons of other things into one place. I was looking for something very similar to you, and FreeIPA's GUI was the best that I found.

    why does ntpd never work, always have to use ntpdate in cron job

    The refid field is the reference that the NTP server on that line is getting its time from, not the IP address of the "borg.loc" server.

    Transitioning from Windows ReFS to FreeNAS ZFS

    If you have a backup of the data, you could restore it from the last backup. If not, a 4th disk is probably your best bet.

    Hp c7000 and hp/cisco 3020 virtual connect

    The 3020 is not a virtual connect module, it is a Cisco switch. It is a totally different function than virtual connect and has a different management page.

    Organisations that don't use NAT

    Even without NAT, there is presumably a firewall in place to restrict traffic in/out to the internet. Think about how IPv6 works. There is no NAT with IPv6, so every client will get a publicly routable internet IP. You can still restrict what IPs can talk between each other with a firewall or...

    Your Home Server Fantasies and a cheap "replacement" for WHS v.1 and 2011

    I migrated my WHS v1 system to Ubuntu running ZFSonLinux a little under a year ago and it has been awesome. While I have a smaller system of 3 1TB drives, if I needed to store more data, I would have no issues making a bigger array with ZFS on Linux. It was a breeze to set up and is crazy...

    Newegg.com - No SSL?

    Looks like their main page does not have SSL, but once you go to login, it redirects to a HTTPS connection.

    configuring httpd.conf for ip filtering

    Do you have access to the software firewall(iptables) on the server? The application can block it fine, but it may be better to block it at a lower level before the traffic even gets to the application.

    Mounting Drives onESXi 5.5 Server - can they be mounted outside of ESXi?

    A raw device map might work too. Not sure if it works with local storage or not, but a RDM bypasses VMFS and presents the raw disk to the OS so you can put whatever formatting you want on it.

    Postfix configuration

    The error you got when trying to telnet says that the client was unable to resolve mailserver.ormondkwikstop.com. First, try to telnet with the IP address instead of the name and see if that works. Also, the DNS server for ormondkwikstop.com needs to have an A record for...

    SFF Build Log

    Looks really good so far. I would try some superglue or epoxy to put that clip back together, probably too much of a hassle trying to get a new clip. Chances are its going to be in a spot where nobody can really see it so I wouldn't worry about it too much. What OS do you plan on putting on...

    Calling hardware nerds to help with a test

    So you are only using 2 cores of a 6 core CPU? I'm guessing this is a VM or something? If plex is multithreaded, why not give it another core or two and see if that helps?

    Router/Firewall as a VM.

    That looks like a pretty sweet setup. There's nothing really wrong with running a router in a VM, but like you said, there are some convenience factors that make it easier to have a separate device.

    is 1920x1080 highest resolution Windows 7/8 supports - planned support for 4k movies?

    Your hardware and drivers have a lot more to do with it than the OS would. Since your monitor supports a maximum of 1920x1080, that is probably the max resolution available in the display settings. Check your video card to make sure it supports the higher resolution and make sure you have the...

    Looking for displays

    Why not just buy a new case? They make plenty of cases that are small like the one that PC is in now. Chances are, the power supply that is in your emachines now has really small cables on it that wont be long enough to reach the connectors on the new board. It also may not be powerful enough...

    LTE modems

    I have an LTE modem in my laptop right now. HP, Dell, IBM, etc. offer them. They are built-in mini-PCIe cards. Of course, like everyone said, you are usually locked down to one carrier and the mifi/usb modem gives more flexibility, but what you want is offered currently in the US. I'm sure...

    Faster data transfer

    Chances are your bottle neck with that gigabit connection is going to be the hard drives in one or both of the PCs and not the network itself. Rather than copying tons of data all the time, you can use some type of incremental backup so it only sends or syncs changes in the data rather than...

    Need server with LOTS of drive bays....

    Why not grab a MSA60 or MSA70 on ebay? They can be had for around $100-125ish. Grab an HP P800 or any SAS RAID card with external SAS ports, and a cheap 1U server and off you go.

    I can connect to the internet but can’t connect to the router’s website

    If you type in an IP address in your web browser, it does not use DNS. Unless you are using a proxy server, adding it to a proxy exclusion list isn't going to fix the issue.

    Setting up Routing and Remote Access Server (MS Server 2012 R2)

    Did you power cycle the cable modem when you moved it from the router to the PC? If the cable modem really is just a cable modem(and not some sort of router/modem combo), it should assign you a public IP, not a 192.168.x.x address. Most cable modems can only recognize one MAC address at a...

    Is port forwarding still necessary in 2013?

    UPnP just does the port forwarding for you (or at least it's supposed to). Port forwarding is still necessary in some situations. If you are connecting from your PC to someone else's game server, then you don't need to forward the ports. If someone else is connecting to a game server that you...

    Off-site backup server

    You don't have to use their cloud backup destination if you don't want to. If you aren't planning on it, then just buy the 10GB Crashplan+ license that is $32.xx/yr. That features the higher encryption and you can back it up to the destination of your choice.

    Off-site backup server

    Another vote for Crashplan. It's really simple to set up and does exactly what you want. The files and communication are encrypted for you and keeps track of the versions.
