Well, dropped in a couple 2 line batch files and a single table in a database and a tiny little cgi and within a few minutes started getting nice logs on every domain machine login/logout/reboot. It's nice to know that policies go into effect that quick, but I'm starting to think maybe I need to watch the load on the domain controllers for that domain. The good part is this new logging provides a much better way to keep track and analyze the data, and doesn't seem to have any noticable impact on the client machines. Power outages are never fun, especially when switches loose their VLAN info and it takes longer for them to reconfigure than for things to reboot and ask DHCP for IPs. Students having to reregister is annoying, but then when you figure out 12 hours later why people are complaining about the printers not working... SCSI vs IDE can be a big difference. If you set up RH9 for IDE it's easier to switch the destination to IDE rather than convert the image. Yea, it's easy enough to switch, but getting it to boot without assistance apparently requires something else since even an initrd with the right modules works long enough to try and remount rw and then says the disk doesn't exist... After work watched There's Something About Mary. Another one of those if you haven't seen it, don't bother... Rather predictable, and while it has funny parts, it doesn't live up to a good followup to Dumb & Dumber.
