[NF] LogMeIn security alerts
by mbsoftwaresolutions＠mbsoftwaresolutions.com 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

I dumped LMI last year but the account is still there. I've received about 4 notices over the past month from LMI about attempting access from various parts of the globe. Here's the latest: There was a failed login attempt to your LogMeIn account. LogMeIn ID: xxx(a)xxx.xxx Time of Event: 1/18/2017 6:24 AM From IP Address: 77.153.153.19 From location: Fontenay-sous-Bois, France I've removed my computers from my LMI account since I don't plan to use LMI anymore. Strange though how this is occurring now and hadn't happened for years (or at least the reporting feature wasn't working maybe?!?!). Should I contact the LMI folks to disable and remove my account entirely? Seems like the next logical move.

[NF] It's PYthon not Py-THAWN.
by Alan Bourke 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Anyway, thinking of having a look at this ever popular language again in my spare time. A question for the Python mavens on the list - better to start with 2.7 or 3.6 at this point? -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Restrict access to multi clients
by Andrew Stirling 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

I'm trying to get an online system working that allows: Users to log in to an Owner organisation ie firm of accountants. Owner to display list of clients to work on. So I have that working with User: Id owner_id Owner Id Clients Id owner_id User has owner relationship and owner has client relationship. Thus User can choose from a list of clients to work on. HOWEVER what I want is to be able to restrict the clients that the User can see. How do I go about that? -- Kind regards Andrew Stirling 01250 870397 07910467915 support(a)calcpay.co.uk http://www.calcpay.co.uk --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hello Everyone, I'm currently evaluating List & Label for a replacement of the old Crystal Reports we have. I'm curious if anyone has implemented it, and the designer in to a VFP project. Thank you, Tracy

[NF] Hardware vs Software Router/Firewall Recommendations
by Ken Dibble 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hi folks, Looks like our "ancient" (2008) CISCO router has died. I would appreciate the benefit of your experience regarding hardware vs software routers/firewalls to help me evaluate replacement options. Our current network uses 1 GB switches and has about 150 machines, and there can be at least that many people simultaneously using the network and our 25 mbps synchronous internet connection (including people hooking into our internet from smart phones and tablets). Most servers, including the domain controller, are virtualized and we are using a SAN for storage (two identical Synology Linux NAS devices). We have a 10 GB switch for virtual server/storage connectivity. We do not host external (internet) email or websites on our network. We've had slow growth in the number of machines and users (+/- 5% per year) over the past decade. We've always used the NAT functionality of the CISCO to provide a firewall and we only rarely allow anything to punch through it. The main exception would be our RDP server, which is in frequent use by between 5 and 10 simultaneous connections. My understanding is that a software router/firewall running on an ordinary PC is likely to be slower than a dedicated hardware device. However, is the difference so significant for a network like mine as to rule out a cheaper software solution? Do you have preferences for specific devices or software packages? What do you all think? Many thanks. Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org
