Bonus Utilities
Even in slow economic times we're giving you something to look forward to. This month's shipment includes six new and updated bonus utilities to help you get the most out of your Novell products. Here's a small taste of what you can expect:
-
Defending Against Spam Hosts: This script will create an iptable called "Spamhaus," which will house all malicious IP addresses.
-
NCPSync.nlm NCP File/Directory Synchronizer: NCPSync is a NetWare utility that allows you to synchronize a given directory tree to other servers (and other directories) through NCP. Source and destination servers may belong to different NDS trees.
-
PTM Editor: This is the first release of PTM Editor. This tool offers an editing environment for portable translation memories (.PTM).
Technical White Papers
If you've ever wanted in-depth information on Novell products and technologies, then you've come to the right place. In March's shipment you'll get access to four new technical white papers, including:
-
Getting Started with JeOS—Are you considering downloading the bare minimum SUSE Linux Enterprise JeOS through the VMware ESXi environment? Are you wondering what exactly it is, what you get and what you can do with it? In this white paper, we'll explain all of this and more so you can build your own custom virtual appliance using the JeOS configuration of SUSE Linux Enterprise.
-
Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management: Total Control from a Single Console—Many different motives can drive a hacker to attack networked systems. It may be nothing more than the same gratification that drives vandals to destroy property. It may be a professional criminal’s scheme to undermine a competing business, steal identities or even extort money. It may be a cyber-terrorist’s plot to disrupt communications and cause social and economic harm to a perceived enemy. It may be simply “because I can” or any of countless other reasons. Find out how you can foil those attempts and keep your networks safe in this new white paper.
