Today was a difficult day but a very interesting one. My primary goal was to implement the network
design I draw few weeks ago.. My job was :
  
  * change the layer1 (the wire..) [1]
  * change the Cisco 3550 Intervlan routing configuration [2]
  * setup one netbsd as bridge
  * setup another on netbsd as router (with 5 network devices)
  * change the Cisco 3000 series configuration [3]
  * setup dynamic routing (with ospf) in all netbsd/Cisco and few others one router

[1]: I hate all hardware/layer1 (or 8, aka the users) stuff. I prefer stay in my chair
in front of my beautiful debian background (the ayo's one) while I'm setting up
all layer3-7 stuff via telnet or ssh.

[2]: 3550 with EMI IOS are very powerfull. I like such toys :p

[3]: It's the first and last time I buy a fucking VPN concentrator (at least the 3000 series)
There is not a good OS, only a fucking menu based command line tool. I'm not able to tweaking
the tunnel network configuration like the loopbackp interface for tunnels, the MRU/MTU
negociation, etc, etc.. The next time, i'll buy a good router (maybe with the hardware encryption
card) and a real (I)OS.

Tomorrow will be a good day too, I need to setup all firewall rules (on both NetBSD) and
the IDS. Actually, I know a little snort (I ever wrote some rules) but I never used it
in a (real) production envionment.

10hPM: I'm writing this geeklog entry with mozilla which comes as the default web browser
in Solaris 10 (running in my Ultra 60 :). Finally, I thought it will be more slower. Just
take a look in the following screenshot :

Solaris seem very cool. But, even if java desktop system seem very nice, I'm not sure
it's easy to customize the desktop istself. Anyway I need to use it for few days (or even weeks)
before I can say something definitive.
