It may be necessary to lock down the root account so that it can only be
accessed over certain protocols. This is a common requirement of any security
audit including SOX and SAS70, and is extremely good practice.

As I touched upon in the previous lesson, UNIX is made up entirely of flat files. We learned how to move throughout the filesystem and list the files held therein.
Every single part of the unix machine is a simple, editable text file. This makes it extremely vital for us to understand how to view, edit, copy, and delete these files.
Now in this lesson, we’ll learn how to work with these files.

The following is the first in a series of documents that I am drafting as an Introduction to UNIX for my coworkers. I will frequently post short lessons that build upon each other, until this becomes a giant collection and a complete unix tutorial.

My mythtv server has one infrared receiver because it comes with the pvr-150 card.
My mythfrontend is a different machine that has no infrared receiver.
This is how I pass the infrared signals over the network to control both boxes with one receiver and one remote.

For the last 5 years or so, I've done all my scratch recordings with an old school PCI M-Audio Delta 4/4, and to be honest, that worked just fine. But since my box doesn't have much in the way of available PCI slots, I decided to give the PreSonus Firepod a try.
This is how I've configured my firepod to work with Ardour.

This is an older tutorial that I had written when I was syncing evolution with scheduleworld and my Samsung phone with bitpim. Hopefully this will be of use to someone.

Being a linux user can sometimes (often) be a pain in the ass. Since there's no native ActiveSync support for linux, we have to get "creative".
