Putty and number lock

If you've ever used Putty you've probably run into the problem where you numlock doesnt product the expected results as it does while using it outside of Putty. Seems there are some special characters associated with the number pad and Putty has a driver/handler or something to that affect that basically causes problems for the numpad and *nix connections.

I found the answer to that problem here .

The fix is:

Open Putty

My supporting of support thru PHP

My last post was my first attempts at working on a web front end for a Postfix Server. It will/should allow specific users access to the page and add a device to the approved senders list. Another way to describe it would be to say users can "whitelist" devices so they can send email throughout the organization and else where.

PHP Include function

I'm building a web front end for a postfix server that will allow specific users to add an IP address to the allowed relay list. The problem I ran into is that I'm running the VERY lightweight page on the actual server itself and I wanted to wrap the Intranet site that the company is familiar with around my little contribution to the tech support effort.

Protect yourself, change your DNS.

Most users that I deal with have no clue as to what gets them to a website other than the name they type in. For probably 98% of whom I deal with, it's all that matters. But on the rare occasion where something is broken or they read an article that peaks their interest I'll have to delve into the shallows of what really makes the internet work. Simply, it's DNS, translation of the friendly name into computer readable numbers that takes you to websites.

OK, it's time. Convert to Firefox. Really, it's time.

Hamachi, free VPN client

Probably one of the neatest tools I use. Easy to install, easy to setup and easy to use.

Hamachi is freely distributed by LogMeIn.
