Recreating Certificates on OES, migrating to a new server, and checking status (in a nutshell)

Shawn Iverson responded to our OES Open Call with this nice piece about migration. His meditative approach underscores the importance of personal tranquility when approaching delicate IT procedures. Put down that Red Bull, clear your mind, and let Shawn guide you to migration nirvana. [Which Wikipedia defines as "the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished." Please let us know when you get there.]

Why People Love Novell

We recently asked Cool Solutions readers to tell us what they love about Novell, and how they've managed to keep Novell in their organization over the years, despite fierce competition and changes in fashion.

The results revealed a unique loyalty to the classic Novell product lines, and a highly pragmatic line of reasoning: if it works, why replace it?

Here is a nice sampling of responses, from people who have come to rely on Novell's technologies to make life easier for end users and IT alike.

Resolving DDNS Updates Failure After DHCP Migration from NetWare to OES

After migrating DHCP from NetWare to Open Enterprise Server (OES) Linux, Dynamic DNS (DDNS) fails to update forward (A) and reverse (PTR) records. This is due to some of the default differences between Novell DNS/DHCP on NetWare and the open source implementation of DNS/DHCP on OES Linux.
