http://www.floridavets.org/saa/LiCert.htm

Veterans who must take a test for certification to work in any regulated 
field, in Florida, are entitled to up to $2,000.00 refund by the VA, for each 
required certification,  so, it appears that all who are Veterans, and who 
are working in any field that requires some certification to hold your 
position, should apply.  

http://www.floridavets.org/saa/LiCert.htm

Because it is a 'per certification' refund with a cap of $2000.00 per, you 
should probably submit each seperate test on an individual letter.

OT: WMF Exploit MSI

If anyone needs a copy of the WMF exploit MSI as posted by isc.sans.org 
for Active Directory Deployment let me know, I'll post it.
There appears to be an issue with the MSI thinking it has applied and 
not really being applied in all cases. As I consider some protection 
better than none
when dealing with several hundred workstations, I was thinking others 
might be wanting it.

Backup and copy partition to a CD

After 30+ hours of trying to do an Internet update ending in a locked 
machine, I tried several different options.  Each failed, but I found 
that I may have a bad HD (the one with the partitions for /var and for 
/tmp).  [At least, when I used fsck.reiserfs it reported that it is 
likely that there is a hardware problem for that drive!]

So, what I would like to do is backup my /home partition to a CD (it 
will easily fit on a single CD).  But, the options for mkisofs and for 
cdrecord are many; and most options I don't understand.

I found (by typing: cdrecord --scanbus --dev ATAPI:) that the cd 
recorder, which I want to use, is identified:
"scsibus0: 0,1,0 1) SONY CDRW CRX320E NYK1 Removable CD-ROM."  [The 
device indicated as "scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) SONY DVD RW DW-U18A UYS1 
Removable CD-ROM" came with a message: "Warning: controller returns 
wrong size for CD capabilities page."]

What's the easiest way to backup /home?

Raymond

Re: Backup and copy partition to a CD

Why not use a thumb drive instead of a CD?

Re: Backup and copy partition to a CD

Hi,

I'd probably do:
mkisofs -J -R -V "Home Jan 2005" -o image.iso /home

where image.iso is the image name, /home is what is backed up, and "Home
Jan 2005" is the name.

then burn with:
cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 speed=32 -v image.iso

And while a thumb drive might be easier, if you use a CD, you'll have a
long term backup. :)

Happy New Years,
Glen

That's a good idea.  Except for my ignorance!

I've had to use a "rescue" disk which provides CLI (command line 
interface) only and very little is automatic.  The only way I know to 
identify the thumb drive is type: "cdrecord --scanbus."  The thumb drive 
shows up as "scsibus3: 3,0,0 300) Generic STORAGE DEVICE 0125 Removable 
Disk."  How do I identify it for mounting?

Thanks,
Raymond

Raymond,

For my thumb I usually do:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb0
Depending on what other stuff is mounted, it could be /dev/sdb1 or some
other device name (I'll confess to using the hit-and-miss technique
until I find the right device -- usually no more than one or two
attempts;). 

/media/usb0 is the folder (that you have to create) where the volume
will be mounted.

after that it should be a simple matter of using your favorite copy
command  (e.g. cp -- Seems I've heard there are other, better, commands,
but it's always worked for me) to copy /home to /media/usb0.

HTH,
Howard

then you

There are several ways, but you could just do "fdisk /dev/sdx" replacing
the "x" with {abcd etc...} until fdisk loads the drive info. I usually
just try to mount /dev/sdc etc... Or you could use Dmesg to see the
drive if inserted on boot.
