Demigod hit by massive piracy; review scores take beating - Ars Technica
From site: "Demigod publisher Stardock ran into a very unexpected problem when the game launched: around 100,000 more online players than expected. The number of legit connections? 18,000. Piracy can hurt review scores, as well as consumer confidence, when the stolen copies of the game flood servers, and there's no easy solution to the problem."

Linux System Administration: First Tasks
From site: "You might know how to write code or build applications, but do you know what is required of a good Linux sysadmin?"
-
What kinds of tasks occupy a system administrators day? That depends
on the environment in which he or she works. You may find yourself
managing dozens or even hundreds of Web servers. In contrast, you might
find yourself running a local area network that supports knowledge workers
and/or developers. -
Regardless of your environment, you will find that some tasks are common
to all system administration functions. For example, monitoring system services
and starting and stopping them takes on a role of its own. Your Linux
box might appear to be running smoothly while one or more processes
have stopped. A Linux server might seem happy on the outside, for
example, while the database serving Web pages has failed. - 1 more annotations...
How Can Companies That Rely on Technology Consistently Not Pay for It? | Linux Journal
An article discussing why companies don't spend money in their IT department and what the consequences are of this.
-
The topic – how can companies, that rely on technology to make money, continue to fail to spend the money necessary to keep that technology not only functional, but recoverable.
-
The upshot of the story was that the company would not pay for a more robust solution, despite the fact that there were several single points of failure and certainly considerable risk points.

SMB users and file ownership issues | AFP548
A forum thread with workaround fix to SMB users and file ownership problems (Mac OSX Leopard Server v10.5.x)
-
Hi all,
I'm having a curious issue with my new 10.5 server installation. Here's the whole picture:
-Brand new Quad Core Xserve
-Started as Workgroup configuration, but promoted to Advanced
-Bound to Active Directory
-Is OD Master, and the only OD server I have.
We organize our file storage here a little differently than others do- I have a script that queries the database for our accounting system, and when new jobs are created in that database, a folder hierarchy is made in the format
Client
--Job Number
----Department1
----Department2
----Department3
I have permissions set so that users have full control of content within each DepartmentX folder, but no higher. Under AFP, everything works out exactly as we want it to.
When the same account logs in under SMB (which will only be used by my few Windows clients), I see the following symptoms:
-User could create a folder, but can't name it differently than the default. You could make New Folder and New Folder (2), but make a folder and try to rename it, Windows responds with a cannot rename, access denied error.
-Same applies for right-click: New Text Document. Default names are acceptable, renaming isn't allowed.
-New Folder can be opened, and written to. Files here can be saved and renamed at will.
I've tried setting the DEfault permissions to be both "inherit from parent" and Assigning as Read and Write for everyone, with no luck.
Again, the same user accounts logging in under AFP are fine.
Does anyone have a guess what setting I have wrong here?
Thanks. -
Yeah, I started that thread too.
I found a workaround via the mac-os-x-Server list:

This will tell SMB to disregard ACL's. I'm sure there must be some drawback to that, however. But it does make the server useful for Windows clients, which is better than it is now.
