May 23	comment	Hard drive space managed like virtual memory? You may wish to specify the OS you're targeting here.
May 17	comment	Can Puppet reverse-engineer a manifest from SmartMachines? oh, and this is huge. not sure how i've never heard of this before.... ZFS diff!
Apr 22	comment	How to use linode as a download proxy? You might try `ssh linode "wget -c http://dlfkjldkj.com/files/software.zip -O -" >> ./software.zip`
Apr 14	comment	Does a high run queue length average result in poor performance for a web server? The runq-sz and plist-sz fields are snapshots in time. They are not 10min averages. It's possible to have 19 items in your runqueue and have a loadavg(1) < 1.00, because a fork-heavy process could exit quickly at the moment that you poll with sa. I would shift the sa collector with a sub-60 second sleep step to see if you're just getting ballooned stats from other quick cron jobs that run at the same time.
Apr 13	comment	How do I make a privileged port non-privileged in Redhat 5? Could you just run the software as a xinetd service?
Apr 13	suggested	suggested edit on Discovered an authorized key on the server that I did not put there
Apr 12	comment	How do I make a privileged port non-privileged in Redhat 5? It's that forwarding the TCP connection is a bandaid. In a better solution you would run the app itself as a xinetd service on that port. xinetd unprivileged port question

Mar 27	answered	Why is the port listed only in the specific format of netstat?
Mar 24	comment	Can Puppet reverse-engineer a manifest from SmartMachines? I also found that the Solaris tool `bart` output may be useful. `bart` functions in the same vein as AIDE on Linux. They say not to run `bart` against a non-global zone's filesystem, but I bet you could run it inside the zone OK. learningsolaris.com/lab-the-bart
Mar 10	comment	Redirect to port based on requested (sub)domain (1 IP, non-HTTP request) This is only possible with an application proxy.

Mar 8	comment	How can we share large files with people outside of our firewall? IPSwitch offers a hosted MOVEit DMZ product. Their products supposedly pass PCI-DSS compliance checks. There are other similar products from BISCOM and Accelion. Some products are available as a service, and some you could set up on a colocated server.
Mar 7	comment	How can I query CPU usage for a process in Linux at a specific moment in time? Do you need CPU time or CPU usage as a percentage of a core (or the whole system)?
Mar 7	comment	How to create monit monitor to alert when a line of text is NOT seen in a log file over a period of time Combine John's suggestion with the nagios check_logs script and you should be golden. There are multiple nrpe log plugins that you could utilize.
Aug 16	comment	How can I determine what is taking up so much space? Newer versions of GNU find also support M (Megabytes) as a modifier. ie `find /path -size +1024M`

Jul 22	comment	SSH disconnection issue - TCP RST packets I found that keepalives actually exacerbated disconnects on poor quality connections. The connection would drop because the keepalive failed. Without it, the period of congestion would go unnoticed as the link was not transmitting. In other situations where the firewall state table would eventually purge, keepalives helped the SSH connection remain in the state table.
Jul 21	comment	How to make a minutely cronjob on debian? Cron works well down to one minute resolutions, but it fuzzes a bit around that mark. If it's important that it runs at the top of the minute very precisely, you may need to daemonize the PHP app in question.
