14:45.26silentrobnevyn: But with samba, you lose things like permissions... which you get with NFS
14:45.32iapxasg what outburst
14:45.40SupaplexAdrianLP there is a way to split home directories into /home/a/apt/ and /home/d/dpkg and /home/s/supaplex.  then, if neccessary, you could use multiple machines for hosting home directories

15:09.38PerfDaveIf I have a self-signed CA certificate which I trust, how do I get SSL-aware applications (like Mozilla and Psi) to recognise it?
15:09.41OUTsiderRawplayer : btw, are you at work ?
15:09.44Lorvijaok, thx asg
15:09.45Rawplayeryup
15:10.09jpsPerfDave: you import it into mozilla's certificate manager
15:10.16PerfDaveI tried popping it in /etc/ssl/certs/ but that didn't seem to work
15:10.21OUTsiderRawplayer : tell the boss that I've sent the papers and that they need to be at there destination before the 6th
15:10.28PerfDavejps: How about for other SSL-aware applications?
15:10.36OUTsiderRawplayer : including a copy of the last loan
15:10.51jpsPerfDave: it depends on the application, java has a keystore manager, etc
