Is this the original Sam that all the clones are derived from?

I did a traineeship (payed internship) in high school. Was working 2 days a week and at school the other 3. Went from hell desk to full sys admin for the firm before moving to my current job, Supreme Network Overlord for an ISP in Australia.

Does this bring back memories of the early days of SW for you Nic?

My title was Network Engineer until I put Supreme Network Overlord on my leave form and the boss signed off on it.

Yea. The colours do need to be improved a little.

@Duffney
It takes the vlan database of the server switch with the highest revision and sends it to every other switch in the VTP domain.

Be careful though, VTP is a double edge sword.

Ugh. What a pain.

Yea, I had a client that we host their public DNS records. it was a pain to add TXT and SPF records to all his files.

You don't have to use A names you can keep to IP addresses. You can use the include argument as a kind of wildcard.

You can use MXtoolbox to check if your SPF record is correct. Just remember that some older DNS servers do not use the SPF type so you will have to use a txt record along with a SPF

Hope this helps mate.

@ IN TXT "v=spf1 mx a:[fqdn of email server eg mail.gmail.com.au] ip4:[IP address mail can be relayed from] ~all"

@ambarishrh cheap storage don't mean good .. there's no SLA's on the site for example ... sounds a bit sketchy to me ..

Exactly. It's pretty easy to offer super cheap storage if you use 4TB WD Red drives in enormous arrays on RAID 6 in software RAID with heavy compression and dedupe and no backups.

But, but RAID is it own form of back up right? XD

Good to see some of the old guard returning!

I hope he still takes the usual bribes
