It was asked recently how to generate a random HEX key for something like WEP. A bash one liner can do this for you using the following:
string=0123456789ABCDEF && for i in $(seq 1 32); do pos=$(($RANDOM%15)) && key=${key}${string:$pos:1}; done && echo $key

I find my self in a small predicament. I have a network share on my server via NFS. This is where I store all my media such as anime and music so I can get to it from any of my computers. The slight catch is the kid uses Windows XP (games, go figure) so SFU (Services For Unix) are required to access NFS. This turns out to be a bit slow and clunky and can hang from time to time. The solution will be using Samba to share the same directory via CIFS.
I wanted to give all those out there with less of a $clue a quick and dirty. I am not going to get into the details of the config, just touch on getting Samba up and running fast and open the window for easy config.

Well I got a bit motivated and finally wrote the code to run the files section of the site. As usual it is nothing massive or complex and uses a simple concept. Not much up there now but I hope to get more on there soon.
As usual enjoy!

I passed along that I had gotten a new 1u rack mount server to replace what I was using for my home server. It is an IBM xSeries 330 model which is a bit older but I got it very cheap so it suites me fine. The order of the day when I got it was to install Slackware 12.1 on it and set up services. That was not as easy as I thought it would be.
