by wesley kirinya 17 Mar '11

When a data bundle runs out, Safcom automatically start deducting airtime without u're knowledge, at the normal data rate. They used to send an SMS that the data is about to get finished but that doesn't seem to happen nowadays, at least the last 2-3 months for me! Pliz Safcom dudes, that's just annoying! 8~(

Data Protection - service providers
by Patrick Kariuki 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

When looking for a VPS Company (VM services, for say a month) or a Cloud company (VM services, for say an hour or on capacity-on-demand basis), located out of Kenya - do we take into consideration that we are subject to the laws governing data protection in the host country(country where servers are located)? Should this be weighed on the pros or cons for local developers? Is one local service provider taking this seriously - http://www.kdn.co.ke/content/private_policy.html or did the mouse just sleep on the banana?

Double SNMP comm Strings Possible??
by kihu kibe 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi, Would anyone know if the following is possible; I have one SNMP Reciever = "Server" group A = set of servers (linux) - comm string public YYY group B = second set of servers. (linux) - comm string private XXX Is it possible that the "Server" contain both public and private comm strings under conf file, such that it receives traps from both sets of servers. *FILTER* 1. Yes , public is unsafe, No not using snmp v3 , Yes preference is config file to be changed on the Server to accommodate the group B (private XXX) set of servers but without affecting the group A (public) set of servers - Assume latter already configured. Thanks. :-) regds
