emerge vixie-cron
rm /etc/init.d/vcron
depscan.sh
rc-update del vcron
rc-update del vixie-cron
rc-update add vixie-cron default

Seems that we have been getting lots of hits on www.hoopeston.k12.il.us from hotmail and other mail clients asking for 1 specific spongebob related picture. Seeing as that is wasting our bandwidth for someone elses purposes, I followed the lead of others and replaced the picture: 
We’ll see how much mail I get….
RedHat seems to have dropped tripwire from RHEL as of 3. Luckily, the wonderful fedora project is still updating it. The SRPM mentioned in this HOWTO builds clean on RHEL 3, so I’m going to start there.
And, this script looks promising, as the default policy looks a little crufty.
The gentoo policy is based off the policy that comes with the RedHat package, so it’s not much help.

At the security class yesterday, one of the speakers mentioned some nifty free or free for non-commercial use apps that I thought we could use, either at Hoopeston or even Housing. After fighting these damn viruses all last night, I finally got around to googling for a few of the cooler things, and I found a few extra:
And so my blog descends into the depths of glorified link collector.
