I’m sure someone will complain about the non-patched status of this server and tell me I’m a loosy admin.

I had to certify a new device category on a customer NMS, naming a Cisco 2911. To check whether Cisco did a good job with their MIB, I had to cool it down, which was easy, as we have winter right now.
Success, zone-IntakeLeft went down to 10°. I had to close the windows to avoid getting sick, but it would be interesting to try -5° to check the MIB behaviour.

This little script automates the dump of your DAViCal database :
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH
backup_location=/data/backups/davical
now=`date “+%Y.%m.%d_%H.%M.%S”`
backup_file=$backup_location/davical_$now.pgdump
su – postgres -c “pg_dump -Fc davical > $backup_file”
gzip $backup_file
# remove old backups
find $backup_location -type f -name “davical_*.pgdump.gz” -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
exit 0
Install it as /etc/cron.daily/davical_backup on your Linux box.
To restore your database after a disaster, use this :
createdb –owner davical_dba –encoding UTF8 –template template0 davical
pg_restore -Fc -d davical davical.pgdump

DAViCal is an implementation of the CALDAV standard. It’s open source, developed by Andrew McMillan, and quite simple to install if you know a few bits of Apache configuration. I got it working with two iCal instances and 2 iPhones (wife and me), with a few shared calendars for family and kids stuff.
In version 0.9.8, Andrew has re-implemented a new user and role system making administration simpler. If you look for a way to delete a calendar, don’t search in the web GUI, it’s not there yet. But curl does the job well : Continue Reading »

If you have a Cisco device with an extremely long interface description, NMS platforms and tools (like snmpget and snmpwalk) only shows the first 64 bytes of the ifAlias field.
To lift this limitation, use this command :
snmp ifmib ifalias long
The limit is then rised to the MIB maximum for DisplayString (255 bytes). The command is supported from IOS 12.2(2)T / 12.2(28)SB.
