All of the recent list traffic got me thinking about why people aren't upgrading. Maybe some insight?
I have several name servers. I have inherited them from admins that didn't seem to know what they were doing and I cannot upgrade one of them at all. It would require a total rebuild. I have upgraded the rest to 8.2.3.
Another reason I haven't put more effort into it, is because I am waiting for two brand spanking new servers to arrive. I don't have the time to rebuild a name server I will trash in less than a week. Russian Roulette, I know.
One word: backups Is that word even heard around offices these days? I see far too many computers and far too few tape drives.. Kinda scary.
Is it pretty common to be understaffed and overworked? I can't believe I just asked that. I am always overworked with next to no help, but it seems that recently things are worse. Is that true all around?
Anyone else in similar situations?
Oh no, not at all. Its just you. ;-)
Also, anyone else see a HUGE increase in scans for port 53? I mean out of control scans.
53, 111, and 137 are the most common scans I trap at my firewall. Interesting bit with the scans to port 53 lately is that they're hitting the port 2 and 3 times, not just the usual once to identify and then move on. -Wayne
