A friend has a retail location which uses Filemaker Pro on 2 computers - I'll refer to them as Main and Satellite.  Filemaker will have a primary instance running on the Main computer and the Satellite will connect to it.  It turns out that Filemaker has it's own network "stack" known as the Filemaker Network (aka fmn://) Firewall: You need to ensure that the Windows Firewall allows communication for Filemaker Pro. Click Start and type "firewall" in the search box.  Then click Allow A Program Through Windows Firewall.  Find the Filemaker pro in the list and make sure the check box is selected for the type of network your interface was designated as.  In his case: public. Allow Sharing (Filemaker): On the Main Computer, open Filemaker and click on : File   Sharing     Filemaker Network (this page will show you the IP)       Network Sharing (click "On") Connect to Remote Filemaker Share: On the Satellite Computer, c...

Why are we here... This is not likely something I would have pursued under normal circumstances.  I happen to be working for a customer/client who is not afforded a lot of flexibility to accomplish their goals.  In this case, the rigor is justified.  They have to sometimes be fairly creative with how they solve problems. In this case they would like to utilize an existing snmp implementation to execute a command (or shell script) on a remote system.  They came to me with the idea of using Net-SNMP extend. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sect-System_Monitoring_Tools-Net-SNMP-Extending.html NOTE:  This is NOT a good implementation strategy in the "real world"  it will simply allow you to test the functionality.  There are a TON of security implications which would need to be taken in to consideration. Implementation Steps: [root@rh7tst01 ~]# yum -y install net-snmp net-snmp-utils ...

A recent comment on a rather old post made me realize that I had not updated this thread. The biggest news - iTunes seriously screws up the way they store attributes about songs now.  From what I can gather, if you chose to give Adele - Rolling in the Deep 4-stars... it, for whatever stupid reason, will then give the entire album an "album rating" of 4 stars.  Which means that the perl script and python script I had found to convert my playlist would have ALL the Adele songs in that album in my favorites in Rhythmbox. There is, however, a work-around Doug Scripts http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts06.php?page=1 I cannot seem to find the exact AppleScript of his that I used to remove the Album Rating from all my albums. First thing though... open iTunes and run DougScripts Album Rating script. #!/bin/bash # You have to use sudo on the AFS drive MYDATE=`date +%F-%H-%M-%S` rsync -urpolvv --delete --size-only --delete --exclude="Mobile Applications...

Where to begin with this travesty... had to switch from AT&T to Verizon so that I could use tethering at the office I work at.. and "so it begins..." I have a Samsung SCS-SU01 which Verizon provided because I have essentially no service in my home.  When I attempted to configure/enable the device it was responding rather strange.  Specifically the GPS indicator would not change to "blue" - indicating it could not get GPS?  Anyhow, that was NOT the case, the transponder was outside via the extender cable with a clear line of sight to the sky. I loaded my ASDM to see if I could tell what was going on and noticed # Deny inbound UDP from x.x.x.x/highport to x.x.x.x/53 due to DNS Query which seemed very odd since my DNS server is on the same subnet as my VZW device. Applied the following rule and the DNS issue went away. same-security-traffic permit  intra-interface Now... I need to allow IPsec-passthru (I think?) Cisco ASA ...

I have recently been having issues with my Moto X receiving incoming calls.  Even though the same person that would call me could text me at the same time frame.  Fortunately I have a Nexus 6... unfortunately I travel weekly for work and can't deal my phone's bullshit right now.  So, I wipe my Nexus, re-image it with shamu, install all my apps, Google Authenticator, etc.. configure all logins and authentication.  Then I realize why I had been using my Moto X instead of my Nexus 6.  Advantages that the Moto X have: size, nuance functionality (karate chop flashlight, auto-silence off-hours, etc...).  Motorola does some cool stuff. Anyhow.. .one not cool thing about Motorola is the guarded approach to distributing their Images.  (which, there may be a legitimate reason for that.... so, I will remain somewhat neutral about the subject). I managed to find an image to use and made a few huge assumptions: that an invalid image will not load that a non...
