Installation of a Red Hat 9.0 server with DNS
This paper seeks to provide an edited account of the work done by the author to create a minimal-install, primary DNS server based on a Linux platform. The document includes some discussion as to why certain decisions were made and the reasons for the method used to build the system. There is a preliminary summary of this document, which outlines the rest of the documents content. Each section, that details the instructions for building the system, has information and discussion about the actions and decisions taken that are relevant to that section. However, the document is also designed to be a set of build instructions that can be followed to create a simple DNS server with security as a focus.

Chatting Up an IM Management Strategy
Enterprises that in remain denial of IM's use are likely to encounter the most trouble: Federal laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA require corporate e-mail and "similar" communications be archived. Unmanaged IM may also lead to intellectual property loss and wasted employee time. IM is also a channel for virus attacks.

Securing Instant Messaging
From its beginnings as a simple buddy-to-buddy chatting service, instant messaging has blossomed to become a staple mode of communication for tens of millions of Internet users. Popular systems such as America Online's Instant Messenger, Microsoft's MSN Messenger, ICQ, and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) have changed the way we communicate with friends, acquaintances, and business colleagues.

FTP Servers Keep Pace With the Times
Once upon a time, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) was the only viable option. These days, files are moved around using a variety of technologies not specifically designed to do so: e-mail, instant messaging, IRC, and even Web servers. Each of these technologies offer the advantage of familiarity with a single interface to people who use them every day for their intended purpose. But despite their convenience, each lacks a certain je ne sais quoi in terms of robustness. For example, e-mail servers often limit attachment sizes, and Web servers are cumbersome for batches and prone to corrupt large downloads.

Solving the Secure FTP vs. NAT Problem
NAT (network address translation) has long been a boon to enterprises attempting to shield their internal network architecture from the outside world, deploy virtual servers and/or conserve public Internet IP addresses. However FTP and NAT have not always been harmonious companions, even before the introduction of encrypted SSL streams.

SFTP - Transferring Files Safely with Secure Shell
Schools, hospitals, government agencies, and enterprises. Today, all of these organizations are tapping the power of the Internet to access and distribute missioncritical information. Readily-available, low-cost connectivity makes it possible to deliver files to customers, business partners, and employees, inexpensively and immediately.

Using VNC with Linux
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a remote display system which allows the user to view the desktop of a remote machine anywhere on the internet. It can be directed through SSH for security. It is a great tool for remote administration and thin clients. It does, however, have its drawbacks. It, unlike Tarentella (TM) or Citrix (TM), is not an application server. It also has the tendency to take more time refreshing over low-bandwidth links.

An Introduction to the Open Source and the GPL
Open Source Software (OSS) is software who's source code is made "Open" for all to freely see, distribute and modify. This means that there could potentially be thousands of programmers from all over the world working together to write a particular program. OSS has traditionally been written by volunteers, however the software industry is becoming increasingly involved in contributing to OSS and releasing their own software into Open Source.

How to evaluate a content management system
Selecting and implementing a content management system (CMS) will be one of the largest IT projects tackled by many organisations. With costs running into the millions of dollars, it is vital that the right CMS package be selected.

CMS interoperability?
While the goal of interoperability between content management systems (CMS) is an important one, it is limited by the lack of standards relating to content management. At present, there are a range of narrowly-focused specifications in the marketplace, but these address only specific aspects of system interoperability.
