Today was interesting. Spent time working with GSS/Kerberos/spnego and integration with apache, active directory, and IE. No luck with the unix side, but with a few tweaks to IE security settings through domain policies I got it working with a windows server. Due to the fact we don't want to use a windows server unless I figure out the apache side this may not actually get implemented. It is sorta cool to be able to go to a windows machine, log in, and visit secure web sites without having to log in again. Lunch was a run to Famous Dave's which was good since I haven't been there in quite a while. After work went for some R2 with Dave, JoeBuck and Meghan. Always gotta love when you can go to a place and the waiter can tell you what you're ordering. After that went over to Meghan's to remove linux from her computer. She's going to the guards for a few months so her computer is going to her brother, who dooesn't have the same appreciation for linux. The whole task was interesting as it started out without having a knoppix CD so had to download it, and then there's the little fact that grub doesn't work well without a linux partition of some sort, and hp included the recovery as a partition on the hard drive rather than cds, so I had to pull a hack with a w2k cd's recovery console (sometimes the big security bugs can be handy). Gotta say the people making ntfsresize are awesome - that's worked twice on that system and both times it was perfect. Especially given what a cobbled-together hack NTFS is in the first place (I've had way to many filesystems corrupt themselves under heavy load), it's a very good piece of software. Now if only someone would make an equivalent to microsoft's fixmbr which would run under linux...
