    Before I start with this article I'd like to start by saying that abusing the .htaccess file will hurt the performance of your website. The .htaccess file should only be used if you have no other way to achieve certain things.<br />

  • Keeping an eye on TSM volumes – […] I wrote a quick script which tells me when volumes in TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) have access and/or media issues and shoots me off an email. The script does two things:<br />
    1) Checks for volumes which are NOT in the states READWRITE or OFFSITE.<br />
    2) Checks for volumes which have a read/write error count >0.<br />
    I’m sure that most people running TSM in their environment have some sort of daily reporting that gets sent out. If that’s the case, you can simply extract the SQL from the script and use it in your own reporting tools.<br />

  • LasCon Storage – TSM Administration – Tivoli is part of IBM, and they provide a suite of management products for distributed systems. TSM used to be called ADSM and works on the 'incremental backup forever' principle, which takes a bit of getting used to, compared to the more traditional 'weekly full backup and daily incremental' system. With TSM, you backup all your clients to one central data backup server. This makes administration a lot easier, but means you have to limit the amount of data you send over the network. That's why TSM needs to be incremental. A central database records all backup information, and can be used to recreate a whole server if necessary. TSM always keeps at least one backup of every on-line file.

  • Create AIX NIM master – NIM is better in that you can install a new OS from a mksysb in as little as 5 minutes versus installing from CD which can take 40 minutes or longer. You can also keep your builds consistent if you have one mksysb image to build an AIX server. This also makes server builds easier at remote locations, no more swapping CD’s[…]
  • AixErrorLogCustomization < AIS < TWiki – AIX has a very flexible error logging daemon to log hardware and software errors. The log is typically accessed with the errpt command.
    Unfortunately, checking the log is a manual process. Using some custom ODM entries, we can cause AIX to run commands in response to errors, which can then be used for notification.
    Below I document a simple configuration which uses the ODM to log each error entry to syslog, and forward the complete entry via email.
  • c99madshell Security Review – Derek Fountain – A friend of mine got hacked recently. Some charming person managed to upload a rogue file to his server and replaced some of the software executables he produces with versions containing trojans and viruses.

    It seems there's not a lot of information available that describes just what is possible from an uploaded file vulnerability. So I grabbed a copy of 'c99madshell', which is one of the more popular scripts used by script kiddies, and had a look at what it can do. Here's what I found…
