Configure Roaming Profiles

When you sit at a computer and change its attributes, such as the wallpaper, when someone else logs on they still have the environment that they last had when they logged on, and this is achieved using a profile for the user which is stored locally in the %systemroot%/profiles/, e.g. d:\winnt\profiles\savillj.

If the user then sat at a different computer they would not have their setup, to achieve a profile that follows the user to different NT machines (a roaming profile) you need to store the users profile on a network share, that can be downloaded each time the user logs on. When the user logs off the network profile is updated, and a copy of the profile is saved locally. To configure roaming profiles perform the following

1. Start User Manager for Domains (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - User Manager for Domains)
2. Double click on the user
3. Click the Profiles button
4. In the User Profile Path enter the network share location where the profile should go, \\\\ , e.g. \\bugsbunny\profiles\savillj.
5. Click OK to finish

To make the profile mandatory, i.e. the user cannot change it, rename the file ntuser.dat to ntuser.man which is located at the base of the profile location.

As mentioned earlier, profiles are cached locally to machines, however this can be disabled by performing the following

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
2. Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
3. Create a value called DeleteRoamingCache of type DWORD (Edit - New - Dword)
4. Set the value to 1

3 Sexual Foreplay Techniques to Use On a Woman

One of the most interesting things about giving women the kind of mind blowing orgasms that are guaranteed to have her wanting you more or more is in the fact that the real secret to giving her those kinds of experiences is in sexual foreplay.

What you may not know that sexual foreplay when done correctly starts way before she might even be beginning to think about sex.

In this article, you will learn 3 sexual foreplay techniques to use on a woman that will help you give her the most amazing mind blowing orgasms that she has ever experienced.

Sexual Foreplay Technique #1 - Turning her on when out in Public

Turning a woman on in public is both easy and effective for the same reasons which are it is unexpected and highly romantic.

It also lets the woman that you are with know that you find her attractive and the kind of woman that you want to be seen with.

Some things that you might want to consider doing with her in public are kissing or touching her in a provocative way.

Once you realize and remember that sexual foreplay starts long before sex you will find a variety of different ways in which you can turn her on.

Another great one to do in public is playing footsies underneath the table with her.

Sexual Foreplay Technique #2 - Creating the Right Kind of Mood or Ambience

Once the two of you are at your place you want to make sure that the environment that you will have her in will allow her to relax and at the same time become highly aroused.

Turning down the lights, lighting some candles and playing some soft and soothing music in the background is one of the best ways of creating the kind of atmosphere that will allow her to physically and mentally be ready for the sexual experience.

Sexual Foreplay Technique #3 Sensual Massage

Hands down giving a woman a sensual massage is the most effective foreplay technique that you can use especially if you are planning on ending the night by giving her the most intense and mind blowing orgasm that you can think of.

In terms of preparing a woman for sex, nothing is as good as giving her a sensual massage. One tip that you are going to want to consider when giving a woman a sensual massage is using a massage oil that has pleasant fragrance to it and at the same time warms her skin her as well.

Since the two of you are still in the sexual foreplay phase and not at the sexual intercourse one yet, start off by rubbing her shoulders and necks then moving your way down to her back and legs.

From this point you are going to want her to roll over and if you truly do have the magic touch she is going to be wet in anticipation of what is going to come next.

However, while she might be ready for more your goal during sexual foreplay is to get her as highly aroused as possible which means continue to give her a massage and then at the end move to her more sexual parts such as her breast, vagina, and clitoris.

Once, you find yourself at the point where you are ready to stimulate her clitoris and move on to more sexual intercourse type activities apply G Female Stimulating Gel underneath the hood of her clitoris and gently massage it in.

At this point, if you did the 3 sexual foreplay techniques above correctly and effectively it will be only a matter of moments that the woman that you are with has the kind of mind blowing orgasms that make all that time you spent on sexual foreplay worthwhile.

Configure Radius Authentication for SSH login Centos 5.2 Linux

Using the plug-in modular nature of PAM we can get a linux server to use RADIUS to authenticate users connecting via SSH. This guide tells you how to setup a Centos 5.2 server as your Radius "client" and Juniper Steel-Belted as your radius server authentication "server". We are going to use the pam_radius_module from free radius to provide the mechanism of authenticating ssh logins against a radius box.

For this example my environment consists of

A centos 5.2 radius client called "cyclone"
A Steel-Belted Radius server is called "turbo"
A username of dave

Of course you will change these silly names to the hostnames or ip addresses that suit your own setup.

Preparation

We have to to build a radius client module for our centos linux server so some preperation is required on this box to enable us to do that. It isn't as complex as it sounds.

1. Install the correct development tools

Since the pam_radius_auth security module is not available in mighty yum repository we have to make this ourselves using the source files. To do this we need the correct C compiler this can be installed via yum using the following command

yum install gcc-c++

After a little while the C compiler will be installed an ready for use. The next requirement is the pam development module. This is also installed via yum with this command:

yum install pam-devel

2. Download the pam Radius source files.

You need to download the radius pam module here ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/

Choose the file pam_radius-1.3.17.tar.gz

This is done easily via the wget command. So from the centos machine run

wget ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/pam_radius-1.3.17.tar.gz

download this to a temporary folder where you can build the software from

I chose a directory called pam under my root users home directory

/root/pam

Once the file is downloaded unzip the file with gunzip

using the command

gunzip /root/pam/pam_radius-1.3.17.tar.gz

untar the file using the command

tar -xvf /root/pam/pam_radius-1.3.17.tar

this should then upack the contents into a directory structure like this

/root/pam/pam_radius-1.3.17

change to this directory and type

make

the system should then compile with something like the following output:

cc -Wall -fPIC -c pam_radius_auth.c -o pam_radius_auth.o
pam_radius_auth.c: In function âtalk_radiusâ:
pam_radius_auth.c:886: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 6 of ârecvfromâ differ in signedness
pam_radius_auth.c: In function âpam_sm_authenticateâ:
pam_radius_auth.c:1102: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
cc -Wall -fPIC -c -o md5.o md5.c
ld -Bshareable pam_radius_auth.o md5.o -lpam -o pam_radius_auth.so

this should create a file called

pam_radius_auth.so

copy this to the /lib/security/ folder.

Configure the Centos Server to use radius Authentication

1. Create a user you wish to login as on the centos system I am creating one called "dave" fo this example.
useradd -d /home/dave/ dave

NOTE: There is no reason to set a password to this unix user as you will be using your radius account to provide the password.

2. Create the client configuration file folder structure.
Create a directory under the /etc folder called raddb.
So you have a directory path which looks like /etc/raddb
This is done like so
mkdir /etc/raddb

3. Copy the sample client configuration file pam_radius_auth.conf to /etc/raddb/server
This sample file is found in the unarchived folder you downloaded earlier - in my example so I would run.
cp /root/pam/pam_radius-1.3.17/pam_radius_auth.conf /etc/raddb/server

3. Edit the /etc/raddb/server to match the radius server "turbo".

open the /etc/raddb/server in an editor such as vi
Under the section that looks like

# server[:port] shared_secret timeout (s)
127.0.0.1 secret 1
other-server other-secret 3

Add a line that represents your radius server. You will need to enter your servers hostname or IP address and a sharesecret that you will need to assign in this file and on your radius server. So make a note of this password.

I am going to add my radius server "turbo" and specify a shared secret of "s3cret" after editing my file looks like this

# server[:port] shared_secret timeout (s)
127.0.0.1 secret 1
turbo s3cret 3

Now edit the /etc/pam.d/sshd file. This file controls the authentication method for sshd service which facilitates SSH logins. We need to tell it to use the /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so file we created compiled earlier.

Before the top line

auth include system-auth

add this line

auth required pam_radius_auth.so

so the first two lines will look like this

auth sufficient pam_radius_auth.so
auth include system-auth

This will tell the SSH service / daemon to use the radius protocol and server for authentication. By leaving the line

With this configuration the SSHD will also check local system sccount passwords as a fall back. This means you can log in as root or other unix local accounts should your radius server be off line.

NOTE! You are changing the authentication method for logging in to your centos box via SSH. Make sure you can get into it via console (monitor mouse and keyboard) in case this goes wrong and you get locked out of SSH

Configure your Steel Belted Radius Server

1. Setup Cyclone as a radius client

Right "Click Radius Clients"
Click ADD
In the Add RADIUS client window add the IPaddress or hostname of the centos cyclone box and add the shared secret we decided on earlier in this example "s3cret"

2. Add a username on the radius box "turbo"

Right "Click users"
Click Add

Add a native user and set a password.

Test a Logon to the Centos SSH service

Fire up your SSH client

Connect to the box and login as the user and password you set on radius server earlier. In my case "dave"

If it lets you voila job done you have used the radius server to provide SSH authentication. If it doesn't then you might start by looking in the /var/log/secure/file for clues. Also the centos forum is pretty good I often find some helpful people on there - if you are really desperate you can leave a comment here! :)
