WAN Acceleration Magic Quadrant
WAN Acceleration has been a hot topic for some time. But over the past couple of years the cost of acceleration technology has dropped drastically due to its emergence as a full-blown market. Riverbed has jumped to the top of the leaders circle for a number of reasons, with Juniper, Blue Coat, Cisco, Packeteer, etc in its wake. For the most part, all WAN accelerators are going to have a few things in common. There are a pair of appliances, each with a disk that can cache files going between two points. To some degree, the purchase of accelerator appliances should be driven by the protocols to be used. For example, if you’re a…

Mac OS X Server 10.5: Introduction To Wiki
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal Leopard Server and wiki. It’s cool and it works. But when you’re first looking into it, it might seem a little confusing. So let’s do a simple walkthrough. Here we’re going to enable a wiki in advanced mode for a group called testgroup and we’re going to give a user called testadmin access to edit the wikis and create new ones. To get access to the wiki we’re going to assume a hostname of server.318.com. First, let’s go into Workgroup Manager and create a new group called testgroup. To do this, open Workgroup Manager, authenticate to Open Directory and click on the New Group…

Mac OS X: Flushing the DNS Cache Resolver
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal So you need to empty your cache resolver, but you fire up your handylookupd but you’re getting a command not found error. What to do… Try dscacheutil, which let’s you do so very much more than lookupd. For example, using the -cachedump allows you to dump an overview of the cache contents. -cachedump has a slew of flags to get pretty granular with the output such as -entries and -buckets. -configurationallows you to access detailed information about your search policy. -statistics allows you to view detailed information on statistics of calls. Examples of using these commands: Emtpy the DNS Cache Resolver: dscacheutil -flushcache Dump cache with user entries: dscacheutil -cachedump -entries user Lookup all the users on a…

Mac OS X Server 10.5: Customizing the iChat Server Welcome Message
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal Customizing the welcome message to new users of your iChat server is a fairly simple task. For this, we’ll look into the jabber configuration because jabber is the Open Source package that iChat Server is built on. When you first setup jabber the /etc/jabber directory will be created. Inside this folder will be a file called jabber.xml. If you open the jabber xml file and look for the “welcome†tag then anything between the "welcome" and"/welcome" will be the information that is shown in a welcome screen when a new user signs onto the iChat server. Before you edit the /etc/jaber/jabber.xml file make sure to back it…
