Nevertheless, the transformation of the county fair into a supermarket is taking longer than originally anticipated. Use of the Internet for economic exchange clashes with the culture of freely available information, absence of a central authority, and the legitimate concerns regarding the security of information on the network. Security on the Internet is an afterthought; […]

The automation and dematerialization of monetary exchanges are not objectives per se, but are solely means to improve the productivity of financial institutions. In this regard, an overabundance of standards, and sometimes their competition, may constitute a barrier to the establishment of electronic commerce. Even if some manufacturers think they can profit from this situation, […]
The modern monetary system freed itself of material support by replacing it with a generalized system of trust based on continuous growth. In the past, monetary creation was absolutely limited by the scarcity of materials to be exchanged or of precious metals for minting coins. Now, however, money liberated from a material basis, in particular […]

How Legal Wire tapping Works
CALEA requires that communications providers allow law enforcement officials to be able to listen in on phone conversations and get information about those phone calls, but only when the law enforcement agency has gotten approval for the tap.
The law enforcement agency goes before a judge and presents reasons a wiretap is […]
Throughout the history of the United States, one of the greatest political tensions has been that which balances personal privacy against the need for law enforcement to protect individuals and the country as a whole.
That tension has been with us from the very earliest days of the Republic. The Founding Fathers were extremely cognizant of […]
Although the Internet protocol is the second component of the TCP/IP acronym, it is perhaps the more important of the two. IP is the basic protocol in the suite that provides the information used for getting packets from one place to another. IP provides a connectionless, unacknowledged network service, and also provides the addressing mechanism […]
IP addresses are divided into three major classes (A, B, and C) and two less familiar ones (D and E). Each class uses a different portion of the IP address bits to identify the network. There is a need for classifying networks because there is a need to be able to create networks of different […]
Partitioning the Active Directory into Domains
When you install Windows Server and create a new domain, you are given several choices that decide how the domain will fit into an Active Directory tree. You can create a new forest or become part of an existing forest and create a new tree, making this new domain the […]
The Active Directory gives you one single enterprise-wide namespace. This namespace is used for accounts, resource objects, application configuration information, and so on. What you decide to store in the directory, beyond the default objects set up by the installation process, is up to you. namespace can be global, provided you organize your domains into […]

Next the wizard asks you where the database files for the Active Directory should be stored. It is suggested that you put these files on a disk other than the one that holds the operating system. This increases performance, because both the operating system and the Active Directory, in a larger network, will probably be […]
Okay, it’s time to illustrate how the AD installation process works under Windows Server 2003. The example here is based on the Enterprise edition, but the process is similar for all other Windows Server 2003 variants (except for the web edition). To install the Active Directory on Windows Server 2003, follow these steps:
The first window […]
Master Maps
The automount daemon uses the master map to obtain a list of maps. The master map also contains mount options for those maps. The master map file is usually named /et c/ auto .master. The syntax for the entries in this file is as follows:
mount-point map [mount-options]
mount-point is the pathname of the local directory […]
Many of the TCP/IP utilities that are used for troubleshooting can be employed when trying to diagnose and fix problems having to do with NFS. For example, if a remote file system suddenly becomes unavailable, it only makes sense to first determine whether the remote server is still functioning. You can do this quickly by […]
