Sloppy DNS system administration

Come on guys, an old and fuzzy techie like me shouldn't be finding these kind of things. One of Kenyaweb's IP address blocks still has the old company information (Form-Net) and the information MD (who left the company in 1998) and Technical Manager (who left in 1996) Very sloppy people - hope someone addresses this.... This is probably why the Indonesian hacker found it so easy to get into the server - and by the way, ict.go.ke site has been inaccessibly slow for past hour, and I understand Gov is paying Kenyaweb about Kshs 36m a year for this kind of hosting? inetnum: 194.201.253.0 - 194.201.253.255 <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/inetnum/194.201.253.0-194.201.25…> netname: FORMNET descr: Form-Net Africa, Kenya country: KE admin-c: YN5-RIPE <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/person-role/YN5-RIPE.html;jsessi…> tech-c: AG105-RIPE <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/person-role/AG105-RIPE.html;jses…> status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: AS1849-MNT <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/mntner/AS1849-MNT.html;jsessioni…> source: RIPE #Filtered irt: IRT-MCI-GB <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/irt/IRT-MCI-GB.html;jsessionid=3…> address: ISG/IP Network Security address: MCI address: Reading International Business Park address: Basingstoke Road address: Reading address: Berkshire address: RG2 6DA address: GB phone: +44 118 905 6094 fax-no: +44 118 905 5038 abuse-mailbox: abuse(a)uk.verizonbusiness.com org: ORG-UA24-RIPE <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/organisation/ORG-UA24-RIPE.html;…> admin-c: WERT1-RIPE <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/person-role/WERT1-RIPE.html;jses…> tech-c: WERT1-RIPE <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/person-role/WERT1-RIPE.html;jses…> auth: MD5-PW $1$aEyFevLd$QGJ6onxfBWDr/ezQePDYF/ auth: PGPKEY-5960220D <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/key-cert/PGPKEY-5960220D.html;js…> auth: PGPKEY-5E478DDC <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/key-cert/PGPKEY-5E478DDC.html;js…> auth: PGPKEY-92479A5D <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/key-cert/PGPKEY-92479A5D.html;js…> auth: PGPKEY-B4826395 <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/key-cert/PGPKEY-B4826395.html;js…> irt-nfy: ip-net-sec(a)de.mci.com irt-nfy: registrar(a)eu.uu.net mnt-by: MCI-EMEA-M-MNT <https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/mntner/MCI-EMEA-M-MNT.html;jsess…> source: RIPE #Filtered person: Yazim Nanji address: Form-Net Africa address: P.O.

All googling just leads to dead ends and I need to pass this on to someone like yesterday - anyone out there had such an issue, and how did u resolve it? ./Ok3ch _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke

Mobile Phone for Kids - Opinion
by Odhiambo Washington 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hello Skunks, I'd like to seek your opinion here, and lo! I am already mentally prepared for what might come my way:) My daughter, 7 years old, wants a mobile phone. I am thinking I should accept her request and provide one. Which phone it is is my current dilemma, but besides that I'd like to know from you if this is a good idea at all. And why it is not. My justification: 1. I am tired of fighting with her over my phones. These kids find their way into games on any phone. Not sure how they find them when I, the owner, have never gone for them. 2. She already knows how to call people - has their numbers in her hear (well, she has mine, her mums, her grandma's and grandpa's, not sure who else) 3. She says she wants to play games and to be able to call her parents whenever they are not near... I have her already running Qimo 4 Kids Linux on a small NoteBook, which has enough *games* and learning material, which I do believe is good enough computer for her. While I am at that point of "what the hell does she still want a phone for", I am still thinking it's right to just get her one. Does anyone have a compelling reason for or against me getting her a phone? If I have to get her a phone, which phone do you guys recommend for such a kid? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. Please consider the environment before printing this email.
