Monitoring with Cacti on FreeBSD 9.1

Sorry this is not a kick-off for an extensive step-by-step manual for getting Cacti working on FreeBSD. The good news is someone already made a good guide :-).

When I got it running I added the LM-sensors template for temperature monitoring as described here (I used the 0.8.7 steps).

Happy monitoring !

Hello Mac OS X, Linux stay for a while

A week ago my new Mac Mini arrived and since then my main desktop has become Mac OS X. It's my second Mac, the first one being a PPC 6100 which was later upgraded to a 6100AV


This doesn't mean I won't be using Linux or any other form of UNIX-like OS's besides Mac OS X. My Worklaptop is still Linux-based and a VM with Linux Mint has already been installed.
I'm busy with my prepartions for CCNP Route and GNS 3 isn't ready for Mountain Lion (yet) I end up with a Linux machine anyway :-)

Cisco updates its Associate-level Certifcation

If you want CCNA-oldstyle better be quick because a new version of the certification is coming!

Android Facebook app 2.0 and IPV6

Currently I have a 6to4 tunnel via SixXS. My ISP doesn't support IPV6 yet and this is a great way to experiment with IPV6 but.... There are some Android apps which do not like IPV6. Ever since Facebook updated their app to version 2.0, the app was completely useless. No or real slow updates, but even apps like Friendcaster of Hootsuite were failing in speed. After fiddling with MTU size, Firewall settings, etc. I switched my tablet over to my Guest WLAN which has no IPV6 configuration and voila there was the apps were back on track speedwise. So if you have problems with the Facebook app, disable IPV6 or create another IPV4-nly segment.
