Fat of the LAN

Fat of the LAN is your portal to useful open source information. This site is the culmination of my many hours of frustrating research while trying to implement open source solutions. I've gathered many of the useful tools and guides that I have found here to help others who are searching for the same information. I've also created a discussion forum so that information can be widely disseminated on a variety of topics that frankly, I feel is lacking elsewhere. But I need your help. If you have a question, please post it. No one will reply if you don't post, and if no one replys, no information is transfered, thus killing the spirit of open source software. I would also like any contributions that you feel would make a nice addition to the site. So go ahead and look around, and I hope that you find what you've been searching for.

Some of the highlights of Fat of the LAN:

Support without having to pay fees or banner adds.
The ability to discuss problems or ideas with others.
Pass along some vital information to people who need it.
Extensive documentation to allow for easy implementaion of your projects.

I hope you will enjoy using Fat of the LAN.

The Fat of the LAN team.

Article Update.

I've just finished updating my article in the Technical section on installing Postfix MTA with Amavis, ClamAv, and Spamassassin, now for Debian Etch!. Although it is specificly written for Debian Linux users, many of the concepts are the same on other Linux distros. It also covers setting up SMPT AUTH via TLS to authenticate users for mail relay.

See it here:
How To Install Postfix, Dovecot, Amavis, ClamAV, and Spamassassin (Etch)

And remember, all articles are up for discussion in the forums.

Setting Up 802.1x Authentication with Debian Linux and FreeRadius - Part1 -

I just added a new how-to on setting Up 802.1x Authentication with Debian Linux and FreeRadius

It's a complete walk though on installing from source and configuring FreeRADIUS for use with PEAP. You'll be up surfing the net securely on your laptop in no time!
