What Zenoss can tell you

by Terry Hancock

Zenoss is extremely configurable, so it can probably be set up to tell you just about anything you want to know about the computers you are monitoring. I’m just going to go through some of the things I personally was most interested in for my LAN computers, and then for my web server.

Securing NFS

Write a full post in response to this!

NFS is a network protocol with which many UNIX-administrators have a love/hate relationship. On the one hand, it’s the ideal protocol if you need to export a filesystem from a UNIX-like system. On the other, it has a bit of a reputation of being insecure. Since a rogue system can just tell an NFS server that “hey, I’m representing a user with UID 1000, please remove all the files in my home directory”, this reputation may not be totally undeserved.

Or is it?
