Physical Changes
One thing that I haven’t blogged about is that my SimpleTech NAS mysteriously stopped responding to Samba print requests. I didn’t really try too hard to fix it. I decided it was easier to make the computer the print server and just installed CUPS on the server.

Note the two blockers between mktemp and coreutils. The key here is that coreutils now includes a mktemp binary. It is sys-apps/mktemp that should be unmerged.

Physical Changes
Removed the Ethernet tap and will set it aside for now. There proved to be no foreign IP addresses crossing the cable modem visible to the router. Since the Cable Internet network is supposed to be shared with your local neighborhood I assume the cable modem is doing some simple address filtering. I saw plenty of arp/broadcast traffic but nothing more interesting than that. I’m considering buying a second wireless router and setting up a honeynet. However, I think it wouldn’t be so smart attracting people sitting outside my house.
