16:52.30toizi need advice:
16:53.08toizwhen dhcp responds does it give the client a gateway?
16:53.24toizi know it wont give dns
16:54.19toizmy goal is ofc making my client behind nat booting pxe from INET server
16:56.20toizi have a M$ ris server in inet and a client behind ddwrt but i cant test before 2 days so i wondered i make this time useful and ask if someone has done it already

17:56.33toizanyway if someone is interested in previous "goal" i have skype bcs_taivo
17:56.41toizi also might come back later to this irc channel
18:54.41Nirkusah
18:55.25*** join/##pxe toiz (~a@33.21.190.90.dyn.estpak.ee)
18:56.39Nirkusmh, i guess, he wont read channel logs
18:58.04Nirkusuh, our logs have a 1 day delay
18:58.07Nirkus:)
19:03.08toiz><
19:04.22Nirkustoiz: there you are
19:04.37toizy i came back to check if someone says something
19:04.49Nirkustoiz: if you want to do PXE over routed networks youll need a DHCP relay
19:05.14Nirkuswith RIS im not so sure, what your intentions are.. :)
19:05.25toizy can guess
19:05.29Nirkustoiz -v
19:05.38toizwhat is -v ?
19:05.53Nirkustoiz: be more verbous
19:05.54Nirkus:)
19:05.58toizhehe
19:06.41toizright now i just want to install an xp in any random place where i have ddwrt
19:06.54toizi have 2 plans
19:06.56Nirkusmkay, whats ddwrt?
19:07.07toizdo you know what is wrt54gl?
19:07.29Nirkustoiz: RIS is not PXE, it just loads its own boot loader via PXE and everything from that point on is M$..
19:07.38Nirkusah openwrt
19:07.41Nirkus?
19:07.41toizy
19:07.54toizi dont care if RIS is not pxe:]
19:08.06toizas long as i can boot into RIS behind random ddwrt
19:08.07toizi am WIN
19:08.12Nirkus:)
19:08.26Nirkusopenwrt should have some dhcp relay module
19:08.49toizi have this giude > http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/PXE
19:09.04toizif i just replace ip with outside ip it woint work right?
19:09.04Nirkusbut you should route your DHCP/PXE/RIS traffic through some VPN tunnel like IPsec
19:09.13toizhehe
19:09.30toizthat would be the easy way
19:09.46toizbut i want to install my xp from ANY place behind ddwrt
19:09.55toizddwrt is very common in my land
19:10.15toizfriends, companies etcetc
19:10.29Nirkustoiz: you want to _install_ something via PXE from anywhere or boot something?
19:10.31toizi am starting ddwrt then thinking of next routers
19:10.35toizYES
19:10.48toiz2 have 2 plans
19:10.55toizplanA router congig
19:11.18toizplanB modify PXE to be smater and let ethernet manufacturers apply it to new ethernet devices
19:11.22toizplanA seemed easier
19:12.07Nirkustoiz: PXE was designed so that any "smart" parts would be placed into PXE bootloaders or the apps loaded by PXE boot loaders
19:12.24Nirkustoiz: but, back to your plan :)
19:12.43toizbasicallt u understand my goal now, thats a good start
19:12.59Nirkustoiz: if you want to install something from behind $ddwrt_router under your control
19:13.50Nirkustoiz: you would need to setup a DHCP server on $ddwrt_router answering the PXE boot requests of your $client_pc
19:13.57toizYES
19:14.03toizlike in here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/PXE
19:14.27Nirkustoiz: that $ddwrt_router would need to send some PXE boot loader like the one from M$ RIS or pxelinux or whatever to your $client_pc
19:14.43toizyes i understand that too
19:15.06Nirkustoiz: than, the interesting part... you need to, somehow, get that PXE bootloader to load whatever data you need from your $inet_server
19:15.14toizee
19:15.25toizi was thinking a shortcut
19:15.38toizi was thinking i could boot the PXE bootloader from INET
19:15.40Nirkustoiz: so, what do you intend to do with your $client_pc, exactly?
19:15.46Nirkustoiz: no
19:15.53toizbecause?
19:16.33Nirkustoiz: theoretically, it would be possible..using a DHCP server and giving a gateway and next-server ip..
19:16.39toizyesyes...:D
19:16.43toizthats my plan
19:16.49Nirkustoiz: BUT.. you dont want to use TFTP (UDP) over inet
19:16.52toizif that wont work then your plan goes
19:17.06toizwhy not?
19:17.26toizsimpel protocol and psws not crypted?
19:17.39Nirkustoiz: because its conenctionless and in secure
19:17.58toiz><
19:18.10toizso ok thinking of your plan
19:18.21toizyour plan makes me build a pxe client into ddwrt
19:18.27Nirkusmh, no
19:18.29toizwhich looks kinda complicated
19:18.32toizhmm, no?
19:19.15Nirkusyou need ddwrt to provide a DHCP server pointing pxe booting client pcs to its own tftp server, providing, for example, the pxelinux binary and a configuration for pxelinux
19:19.33Nirkusthe configuration could point to some inet server
19:19.58toizbut you just sayd tftp over inet is bad
19:20.08Nirkustoiz: BUT.. that would use TFTP, still.. so you should have your ddwrt router set up some VPN tunnel to your inet_server
19:20.13Nirkusyes
19:20.15Nirkus:)
19:20.20toizhmm
19:20.52toizlets say that security is not the issue
19:21.17toizit can be so unsecure like my grandmothers hut near da lake
19:21.24Nirkusso, your ddwrt router hase some encrypted VPN tunnel to your inet server to route all the traffic from and to your client pcs behind that ddwrt router through
19:21.26toizthen it would be a plan?
19:21.35toizomgomg
19:21.38Nirkusmh
19:21.46Nirkusof course, you could do that
19:21.54Nirkusbut dont say, i dindt warn ya
19:21.55toizif my ddwrt does vpn stuff it also is complicated
19:22.13toizbut i will think about it
19:22.43toizso plan is ddwrt makes ipsec tunnel, and bootes a pxe bootimage via tftp from inet using the vpn tunnel
19:22.45toizso?
19:23.12Nirkustoiz: you will have (a) insecure communication between your client pcs and (b) your TFTP/ whatever download service need to be accessible to the whole inernet
19:23.39toizee
19:23.43toizfor which plan this goes
19:23.53Nirkustoiz: for the one w/o ipsec tunnel
19:24.02Nirkustoiz: had some lag over here
19:24.08toizokok:)
19:24.19toizwith ipsec is insecure?
19:24.32Nirkustoiz: the machines booting via PXE wont be the ddwrt routers, right?
19:24.39toizno
19:24.48Nirkuswith ipsec in tunnel mode with auth+enc, its secure
19:24.51toizrandom pcs, laptops, wmvare guests, whateveer..
19:24.57Nirkustoiz: ok
19:25.07toiz"so plan is ddwrt makes ipsec tunnel, and bootes a pxe bootimage via tftp from inet using the vpn tunnel" good plan?
19:25.23Nirkustoiz: sounds good
19:25.33toizi am reinstalling my RIS currently, getting some wrtg tomoorow
19:25.36toizmmm
19:25.39Nirkustoiz: you will need to setup a DHCP and TFTP server on that ddwrt routers
19:25.44toizeeeeee
19:25.51toizi need tftp server in router?
19:25.53toizwhy?
19:25.55Nirkusso they can answer to thos clients on their local lan
19:26.14toizi dont understand why ..:d
19:26.20toizi understand dhcp server yes
19:26.21Nirkustoiz: that TFTP server only servers the PXE boot loader and its configuration file (text)
19:26.38toizand what would be in that configuration file?
19:27.07Nirkustoiz: because its easier to setup and the inital conversation between client and PXE stuff wont be affected by internet connection loss and similar errors
19:27.16toizhmm
19:27.24toizris is not tftp?
19:27.27toizy/n ?
19:27.39Nirkustoiz: for pxelinux you can configure a little menu to display and the ip addresses and files to download
19:27.46toizhmm
19:28.00Nirkustoiz: im not sure.. my contact with RIS  was years ago
19:28.03toizbasically you are sayng a linux boots
19:28.08toizpxelinux is linux right
19:28.23Nirkustoiz: pxelinux is just a bootloader, it can boot various stuff
19:28.25toizthen i can make it use whatever protocol i want
19:28.31toizaaa
19:28.46Nirkushttp://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX
19:29.17Nirkustoiz: i think, pxelinux only supports TFTP as its provided by the network cards PXE boot ROM
19:29.47Nirkustoiz: there was some guy in here recently who somehow used HTTP with pxelinux
19:30.11toizhehe
19:30.13toizsee, magic
19:30.15toizthis means
19:30.22toizi can use whatever protocol i want with it
19:30.22Nirkusi think, he loaded some other PXE bootloader first
19:30.29Nirkusetherboot, maybe
19:30.33toizgreat
19:30.43toizas long as all this is small enough to fot a ddwrt
19:30.49toiz2-8 MB
19:30.50toiz><
19:31.04Nirkuspretty sure
19:31.49toizi am thinking now, PXE inside ddwrt, PXE bootloader has biltin IPSEC tunnel module and configuration
19:31.58Nirkusloooool
19:32.08toizwhy is that lol?
19:32.08toiz:D
19:32.19Nirkusi dont think, youll find a PXE _bootloader_ with IPsec support
19:32.26toizi will make it
19:32.32Nirkustoiz: keep the IPsec tunnel in the router
19:32.37toizhmm
19:32.48toizi cant make all ddwrts on estonia hold ipsec tunnels 24h with my server.. ?
19:33.05toizonly way i am thinking is that PXE booting triggers ipec tunnel
19:33.11toizin routr
19:33.18Nirkustoiz: ipsec can detect dead tunnels and set them up again
19:33.32toizehm
19:33.34toizno i mean
19:33.48toizi cant allw that every random booting ddwrt in estonia will connect to my server
19:33.58toizi can only allow that it contacts when it wants to boot
19:34.03Nirkustoiz: your ipsec tunnel can idle and have no more traffic than the 'dead peer detection' pings once in a while
19:34.12toiznono
19:34.15Nirkusmkay
19:34.16toizits a matter of security
19:34.26Nirkussecurity?
19:34.37Nirkusyou mean a matter of network congestion? :>
19:34.41toizrandom companies and homes have a all access tunnel with my server?
19:34.50toizumm i forget that
19:35.08toizso BIG NO ANYWAYS for 24h tunnels
19:35.24Nirkustoiz: you can configure firewall rules on that ddwrt router for the ipsec tunnels
19:35.32Nirkusif ddwrt is capable of that
19:35.37toizcan i make the rules TRGGER?
19:35.44toizi am thinkng now:
19:36.04toizeasier to configure ipsec into PXELINUX than triggeripsec into ddwrtg
19:36.13toizi am not planning to learn ddwrtg, waste of time
19:37.01toizNirkus btw, where you work and sooo on?
19:37.27Nirkustoiz: you cannot 'configure' ipsec into pxelinux
19:37.37toizNirkus: i say i can:D
19:37.44Nirkustoiz: it does not have support for such high level foo
19:37.44toizcause you sayd some guy made http happen
19:37.45Nirkus:)
19:37.56toizhttp happens = ipsec happens
19:38.07Nirkustoiz: he made it happen using another bootloader which wrapped the tftp download calls
19:38.16toizhmm
19:38.21toizok https?
19:38.28Nirkustoiz: i work at Netpioneer GmbH, http://www.netpioneer.de/
19:38.34toizi can do ris over https with a ssl endppint
19:38.36Nirkustoiz: dont think so
19:38.44toizwhat i do in netpioneer?
19:38.51toizyou do*
19:39.06toizis this italy or deuchland?
19:39.13Nirkusi am a system administrator... germany
19:39.17toizhehe:d
19:39.32toizwhat platforms u admin
19:39.39toizor what type of devices
19:39.47Nirkusatm im developing the LDAP user admin interface for them
19:39.48toizserver networks ?
19:40.10toizLDAP is linux derivate for M$ AD?
19:40.47Nirkusmanaged switches (HP), linux servers (debian) hw and virtual (Xen), linux desktops, linux routers, windows desktops and even some windows servers
19:40.53Nirkustoiz: no
19:41.02toiz:o Xen
19:41.08Nirkustoiz: AD is a directory which is accesible 'LDAP like'
19:41.16toizyes><
19:43.12toizhmm i have more thought about this pxe thingie
19:43.17toizyour link made my thought
19:43.31toizthat link > http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX
19:43.46toiznow i am thinking if making a all access buffer server
19:44.22toizclient boots a bootloader from INET RIS
19:44.35toizi can basically make a windows boot into ris
19:44.51toiznow this windows i am booting from there
19:45.05toizit has tools for creating a ipsec tunnel
19:45.21toizhmm ok i kinda failed in this theory sry
19:45.46toizi just understand this buffer windows forst has to plant small windows into my client computer
19:46.12toizcause i cant start a ipsec between a client and target server when ALL commands are made from unsecure buffer server
19:46.38toizhmm hmm..
19:46.53toizk seems i just have to test and then i have some more ideas
19:48.05toizbut thanks for info Nirkus, u made me consider vpn tunnel
19:48.06toiz><
19:52.39Nirkustoiz: np :)
19:53.14Nirkustoiz: ipsec tunnels can be triggered by traffic to be routed through them, too
19:53.29Nirkustoiz: but the tunnel setup may take some time or even fail
19:53.46Nirkuswhich would make the PXE boot process fail on DHCP level
19:54.20Nirkustoiz: therefore haveing the DHCP server and bootloader delivered by your ddwrt box on the LAN would be more fault tolerant
19:54.59toizmhh
19:55.19toizill think about with my businesspartner tomorrow
19:55.35toizhow old are you btw
19:55.38toiz^
19:56.23Nirkusim 27 :)
19:56.46toizi am not :]
19:56.50Nirkushehe
19:57.01toizdo you install everything from pxe ?
19:57.03Nirkustoiz: where are you from and how old?
19:57.13toizi am from estonia and i am 26 ^
19:57.23toizestonia the land of IT developers
19:57.33toizwe eat .bat for breakfast
19:57.42Nirkustoiz: i developed a stateless and diskless linux setup based on PXE for some computer pool of the KIT soem years ago
19:57.54toiz><
19:58.08toizmby u should to develop more some cool stuff using pxe
19:58.40toizlike vmware is this new tecnhology where theys OS boots from some server in lan
19:58.44toizi dont remember the name
19:58.58toizit reminds google crome os
19:59.04toiznot the name but the techonlogy
19:59.05Nirkustoiz: vmware is obsolte :>
19:59.10toizhehehe
19:59.10Nirkusobsolete
19:59.15toizi have esxi
19:59.16toizi dont care
19:59.19toizits easy
19:59.19toiz><
19:59.20Nirkus*g
19:59.36toizu are reccomending something awesome?
19:59.39Nirkusesxi is ok, i guess... at least, its hypervisor based
20:02.00NirkusKVM is too immature to be recommended, and Xen gets to 'old' to :)
20:02.07toizcurrentlyin estonia populars are: OpenSUSE XEN, Citrix XenCenter, ESXi
20:02.15toizesxi being most popular
20:02.52toizsome advanced guys use "QEMU, KVM, libvirt"
20:02.59toizbut i dont even know what this is
20:03.12NirkusESXi is only free w/o the management tools, right?
20:03.44toizy
20:03.48toizit has management
20:03.53toizit is free woihout HA
20:03.57toizand vmotion
20:03.58NirkusQemu is a full virtualization technoligy like the first VMware technoligy
20:04.05toizok
20:04.24toizfree esxi means no HA and no moving working guest OSes between esxi servers
20:04.27NirkusKVM is the hypervisor included in current versions of the Linux kernel
20:04.33toizk
20:05.02Nirkuslibvirt is a generalized management tools infrastructure for things like quemu and KVM AFAIK
20:05.42toizok
20:05.45toizi am thinking of it
20:05.50toizright now vmware is all i need
20:05.53toizesxi then
20:05.55NirkusCitrix XenCenter is the commercial version of Xen
20:06.20Nirkustoiz: xen and kvm are interesting when you are experienced with them
20:06.32Nirkustoiz: because they are completely free of charge
20:07.02toizokidoki
20:07.05Nirkustoiz: and Xen is a very efficient, hypervisor baed virtualization which uses Linux as a management plattform
20:07.16Nirkuss/baed/based/
20:07.17toizbut my business is not virtualisation
20:07.26toizi just use it for hosting my own servers
20:07.34Nirkustoiz: yes, thats ok
20:07.59Nirkustoiz: ESXi will work for you and it performs quite nicely AFAIK
20:09.19toizmy favourite topics currently are: AD, RIS(WDS), WSUS, free monitoring with sql support (like nagiosXI but free), cheap ipsec tunnel endpoints, cheap NAS devices (not eeprom based but minimum atom and stuff)
20:09.33toiz><
20:10.00toizi also can admin most windows server components
20:10.09Nirkusk
20:10.12toizthats what we do here
20:10.18toiza) admin stuff
20:10.28toizb) thinkinf of new cool stuff
20:10.32toizlike RIS over inet
20:10.36toiz><
20:11.04Nirkustoiz: @WSUS: you should take a good look at Secunias CSI: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/
20:11.47toizbeta?
20:11.49toizfree?
20:11.49Nirkustoiz: i dont know if they already finished the beta phase of their WSUS integration
20:12.03toizwsus seems to have this cool problem y
20:12.16toizit needs to be checked after
20:12.24toizlike little child after cleaning his room
20:12.36Nirkustoiz: the private version of CSI (PSI) is free
20:12.45Nirkushehe
20:12.49toizprivate is for one person?
20:12.52toizor what means private
20:13.03toizWSUS is never for one person so .. ?
20:13.08Nirkusbut WSUS is the only package management for windows, AFAIK
20:13.43Nirkusprivate means you are not allowed to use it in a corporate infrastructure but in your home machine
20:13.49toizhehehe
20:13.52toizseems like pointless
20:14.11toizin home i can use this ee what was its name
20:14.13toizbsad or smth
20:14.17Nirkustoiz: helps you keep your software up to date,k not only the microsoft foo
20:14.36toizmbsa
20:14.38toizWO
20:14.48Nirkusmbsa?
20:14.51toizmbsa is same as CSI for one person?
20:15.18toizhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc184923.aspx
20:15.19toiztry it
20:15.25toizon random xp or windows server
20:15.29toizdownload run scan
20:16.04Nirkustoiz: reads like MBSA will only scan for microsoft programs
20:16.19NirkusPSI/CSI scan for almost all programs installed
20:16.52toizkk
20:17.09toizi must think what other products my clients use
20:17.16toizall custom and some autocad i think
20:17.19toiznothing much
20:17.47toizacrobat reader and flash are being deploid by gpo anyways
20:17.51Nirkusand flash, acrobat, firefox, opera, ..
20:18.05toizcause they dont have normal updates
20:18.11toizfor users rights users
20:18.18toizall gpo..:D
20:18.31Nirkus:)
20:19.39toizlike when i used to work in one estonian advanced company
20:19.50toizthey even dplyd M$ office via gpo
20:19.56toizand office spellers and all
20:20.24toizmade some little .vbs that checked via regedit if the office had already been installed or not.. kinky shit:d
20:21.01Nirkushihi
20:21.48NirkusAFAIK, you can do almost anything with GPO foo, but it requires intense study and therefore intense money on docs and courses
20:21.51Nirkus:)
20:22.59toizwhat docs and courses?:D
20:23.07toizwe have much cool practise here
20:23.20Nirkusthose certified my M$? :)
20:23.34toizhire some ex sysadmin like me who has open brain
20:23.59toizpay him cool salary and he will implement cool stuff into gpo just using his brain and/or google
20:24.07toizi am certified m$
20:24.14toizk i have support cert
20:24.19toizbut not any servers
20:24.26Nirkustoiz: or just use linux and pay yourself a cool salary :>
20:24.30toizOH NO
20:24.45toizi have 6 years m$ servers in my back
20:24.52toizumm 7 or 8
20:24.54toizits 2010
20:25.07toizi am not wasting it and starting from beginning with linux
20:25.17Nirkushehe :)
20:25.25toizand in estonia med/small companies use m$
20:25.28toizand reason is:
20:25.44toizthere is 10 m$ guys and 1 linu guy in job market
20:25.47Nirkusalmost all companies use M$
20:25.50toizso..
20:26.11toizthey dont want that awesome risk
20:26.21Nirkusbecause people know windows and office from their home computers
20:26.21toizi myself have helped 5+ companies to come over to m$
20:26.27toizfor THAT reason
20:26.38toizy
20:26.40Nirkushihi
20:26.52toizall those 5+ companies lost theyr linu admin for some reason
20:27.02toizdifferent resons
20:27.19toizand so noone wanted to admin SOMEONE elses linux servers
20:27.32toizcause u dont use standards in there..
20:27.39toiz><
20:27.39toiz:d
20:28.04Nirkuswell, with linux admins its the same as with the windows side.. there are some who do a good job an document it, some who do a good job, but dont ocument enough andmany who just do a crappy jib
20:28.12toizy
20:28.20toizand when win admin dont dokuments its no worries
20:28.24toiznew admin comes
20:28.31Nirkuslol
20:28.36toizhe can understand in 5 minutes
20:28.43toizwhat services are running and for what
20:28.49toizin server
20:28.50toiz><
20:29.20toizits rare thing when some idiot installs some java based server app into M$ server and so on..
20:29.36toizthose kind of examples are so only way u can fuck up
20:29.42Nirkuswell with windows you cannot do as much as with linux w/o buying extra software, so you cannot compare those two worlds just like that
20:29.50toizhehe
20:29.55toizi compare features
20:29.59toizbtw
20:30.05toizi have 3 linu servers
20:30.12toizso i am not all win here:D
20:30.21toizi compare features: what company needs
20:30.59toizcompany needs AD and GPO (cause all clients are xps) they need sharepoint and fileserver, sql, exchange
20:31.04toizu can replace exchange
20:31.12toizwith pretty good derivates
20:31.16toizthat i know
20:31.22toizi like lotus domino for example
20:31.29toizbut u cant replace AD and gpo
20:31.30toiz><
20:31.40Nirkustoiz: well, using AD and GPO for xp clients comes natural
20:31.46toizy
20:31.58toizand that is what people want here in estonia
20:32.02toizwe use linuxes for:
20:32.04toizwebapps
20:32.08toizinestead of iis then
20:32.12Nirkusbecause AD and GPO are the tools provided by M$ to administer their product named windows
20:32.20toizand hardcore clustering/special apps
20:32.33toizbasically all
20:32.41toizfor firewalls noone uses ISA NOR LINUX
20:32.47toizonly hw based firewalls
20:32.56Nirkuslol
20:32.58toizlike cisco>juniper>zywall
20:33.02Nirkus'hw based firewall' :-D
20:33.10toizi dont know correct word
20:33.18toizeng is not my prim lang
20:33.23Nirkusthose are appliances mostly running PC hardware and some frontend for the linux inside
20:33.27toizi know
20:33.34toizi just dont know the word
20:33.39Nirkusor and ther arent hardware based at all
20:33.45Nirkusah
20:33.47Nirkusok
20:33.51toizits some translation error
20:33.59toizwe call them here like boxes or so
20:34.21toizbasically meaning you dont have to put software ion them specially
20:34.37Nirkusif you know TCP/IP and iptables, you dont need any expensive appliance
20:34.40toizwhich leaves less possibilities to fuck up
20:34.44toizhmm
20:34.52toizmed+ company in estonia needs
20:35.01Nirkustoiz: yes, but those are two different approaches
20:35.15toizipsec tunnels, local vlans, blacklists, yadayadayada
20:35.30Nirkusa) you can invest in products, which have an easy interface with less possibilities for human error
20:35.35toizestonians even use layer3 switcher for some magic reason
20:35.42toiza) is good
20:35.44toizwe take that
20:35.47toizkthxbye:D
20:35.59Nirkusb) you can invest in personell that will do more with less money for licenses and hardware
20:36.06toizvery reasoable approach is A
20:36.09Nirkus*g
20:36.10toizwe cant to b
20:36.17toizthats wasting of monay
20:36.33Nirkustoiz: thats you opinion
20:36.36toizpeople ALWAYS cost more than hw
20:36.41toizthats proven on here
20:36.44toiz><
20:36.50Nirkustoiz: thats bullshit :)
20:36.56toizin de its not?:D
20:37.40toizrandom juniper for medsize company is max 2000 eur, using a derivate with os and sysadmin, costs every year afuckin salary++
20:37.47Nirkuspoeple always cost money, but we administer a company of >100 employees with 3 subsidiaries in a team of 2 full-time and 2 part-time admins
20:37.54toiztell me what is your monthly salary?
20:38.21Nirkustoiz: as i am still a student, i dont have a fixed salary
20:38.31toiz100-500 employee companies here usually have 1 admin and 1-2 support prsonnel
20:38.55toizour admins get min 2000 eur every month
20:38.55Nirkustoiz: what is 'support personnel'?

20:39.11toizproccess helpdesk
20:39.13toizetc
20:39.38Nirkuswe dont have that seperation.. we have our 2 + 2 team for everything
20:39.42toiz2000 eur per months means 3500 eur for company
20:39.47toizcause taxes are aswesome
20:39.54toiza ok
20:40.02Nirkusour team leader has something less than 50k a year
20:40.08toizeur?
20:40.13Nirkusyes

20:41.03toizi mean take off 10% of his slary
20:41.08toizand u get 3 junpiers
20:41.11toiz><
20:41.26toizUPS
20:41.31toiz30 UNIPERS

20:41.39toizwry
20:41.41toizsry
20:41.44toizwe have night here
20:41.52Nirkusand who will organize the budget, on which hardware will you run all the developement systems and test databases and who will administer the 2 other subsidiaries and ..
20:41.58toiz6200 euros every month and 3 junipers
20:42.13toiz1 guy admin
20:42.21toiz0,5 guy on budget
20:42.43toiz1-2 guys support personnel with low salary
20:42.46toizhappens in estonia
20:42.47toiz<<
20:42.56Nirkushehe
20:43.06toizwe also buy m$ servers
20:43.07toiz:D
20:43.18Nirkusand you support application servers and web servers and all that stuff, too?
20:43.46toiz14 custom web apps (most iis+mssql, some apache+mysql/postgre)
20:43.57toizthen all typical m$ stuff
20:44.07toizlike ads, backups, antivirs and so on
20:44.12Nirkuswe have 1 guy out of our team for the M$ stuff :)
20:44.21toizhow many m$ servers?
20:44.34toiznot physically counting
20:44.38toizone virtual is 1 server
20:44.56Nirkusum... 1 exchange server, 4 AD servers, 1 WSUS/print/antivir/. server and some hyperV servers hosting windows developement systems
20:45.01Nirkusplus the desktops
20:45.05toizhmm
20:45.09toizhow many desktops?
20:45.16toizad servers are only ad?
20:45.28Nirkussomething > $number_of_employees
20:45.29toizexchange can take time if it is massive
20:45.33toizk
20:45.41toizif he admins desktops too it is pretty even
20:45.47Nirkustoiz: yes, ad servers only do AD
20:45.54toizif not then i can do all those servers for .. lets say...
20:46.04toiz600 EUR per month
20:46.14toizof when u rent me from my company then
20:46.19toiz1200 EUR /months
20:46.22Nirkuswe seperated exchange and WSUS and antivir and foo so the AD boxes are free
20:46.45toizwhy do have free ad servers?
20:46.52toizare u having terminal on them?
20:47.04Nirkustoiz: no, terminal server is a virtual machine
20:47.06toizad takes 0 resource pretty much
20:47.08toizk
20:47.25toizechange takes a lot and yes should be separated
20:47.27toizbut ad..
20:47.28Nirkustoiz: yes, but all the other services on other boxes need ressources and depend on AD
20:47.45Nirkusso when you move them to more potent machines, you get free boxes doing AD
20:47.46Nirkus:>
20:47.48toizare they at least in one virtual?:D
20:47.54toizaaa
20:47.55Nirkushehe
20:47.56toizok:D
20:47.59toizthats normal
20:48.12toizso your servers happen to be in estonia
20:48.15toiz1200 EUR
20:48.18toiz><
20:48.21Nirkusevery subsidiary has 1 virtual AD and the main subsidiary has 1 physical box extra
20:48.24toizonly servers
20:48.32toizmby i do all desktops for another 1200 eur
20:49.08toizmby i should do "piece jobs" for you><
20:49.18Nirkustoiz: so € 2400,- for the job our windows admin does? that are 28.8k/year
20:49.38toizlike one windows 2003 R2 SP2 install with random M$ services will cost u 300 eur
20:49.45Nirkusi think, our windows admin gets something between 35 and 40
20:49.54toiz28,8 year seems fair
20:49.56toizy
20:50.08toizhehe
20:50.08Nirkusits just a guess
