I’ve been offline for a while, but I’ve just seen this:

The Associated Press: New Antivirus Software for Playstation 3
The company bills the software as the first of its kind for a home gaming system. It was released earlier this month as part of a PS3 upgrade and will be free until April.

This is a really positive thing to see; by the fact that there is a market there shows that “Joe gamet” is thinking about security , it’s a shame that sony aren’t giving this away for free but I guess that business .

I know that day light savings is new to the US, but in the UK it has always been, anyway something weird happened this year, the clocks changing clashed with a password change; now this may not have been the fault but since then I’ve not been able to get my gnome evolution email client to connect to our corp’ Microsoft exchange server (via exchange-connector).

After a bit of fruitless googling for authentication issues, I decided to try and flush my evolution settings by deleting (well moving actually) my ~/.evolution directory, but this didn’t help, neither did deleting the account within the client (you know via mail setup)… fortunatley I found the following FAQ :

I wanted to write a document on how to import RADIUS VSA’s (vendor specific attributes) into cisco’s ACS SE (Solution Engine) appliance, the reason being that I couldn’t find any good examples on the net and cisco’s documentation just wasn’t clear enough.

My purpose was to use RADIUS authentication between a Nokia IPSO appliance such that users who access voyager or ssh get authenticated centrally; for RADIUS authentication to work your authentication server (in this case ACS) needs to supply the AAA client (in this can the ipso box) with a “return list attribute”. By default ACS doesn’t have the nokia attributes; to import attributes you need to get your hands on a dictionary file, for nokia ipso it’s /etc/nokia.dictionary – I’ve a copy here.

testing flock!
