SADMS 0.7.4. A tool that integrates Linux hosts into an Active Directory Domain. [freshmeat.net] Just getting going, but looks viable.  Requires Samba 3 on Linux and uses Kerberos or LDAP for authentication.  I don't access to AD, so I can't try it out.  Maybe a soultion for those places harnassed with AD for user authentication.  9:17:14 AM    comment []  trackback []

Yahoo! News - LexisNexis Selling Database to Prisons Yahoo! News - LexisNexis Selling Database to Prisons "LexisNexis, based in this southwest Ohio city, has installed computer kiosks resistant to damage in four prisons and jails in Hawaii and five in California. The kiosk consists of a touch-screen computer monitor covered in shatterproof glass inside a steel box bolted to a wall. " Always a new market.  The selling point to prisons: access to legal materials required by law, but no books.  Books are apparently fragile in a prison environment, so electronic access is more reliable. 9:00:10 AM    comment []  trackback []
