for mv in first second third; do echo `date | awk {'print $1'}` $mv; done

Fri first
Fri second
Fri third

Another one for monitoring the size of a file:

while :; do ls -l myfile.txt | nawk '{if ($5 > 70000) print $5 "\a"  }'; sleep 5; done

c:\for /F "delims=?" %i in ('"dir /aD /s /b . | sort /r"') do @rmdir "%i" 

$ find . -type d -empty -delete 

Although I basically agree with the premise, I disagree with the expectation that users will do what they want without asking for IT security help.  OK, that might happen a few times.  However, if there is a policy, and the user bypasses security by ignoring the policy, fire them!  If they have management support, fire them too.

It won’t take long until people realize that the policies are expected to be followed.  On the other hand, if you have a policy and individuals violate the policy with no consequences, then that creates an environment where policy is voluntary. 

So, is the policy voluntary or not?

The meat of the interview was about OpenOtto.  As always, anything good, can be used for bad.  Imagine this:  Suppose a bad guy wants to take care of his wife/girlfriend/enemy, whatever. Suppose their car is setup so that when it goes above 60 MPH, the cruise control engages to a speed of 100 MPH.  At the same time, the disk brakes apply slight pressure on the driver side wheels and locks at that level veering toward ongoing traffic.  Finally the air bags are deployed.

The GUI is very helpful.  The Report menu displays the different reports available with Dumpsec.
Once you are familiar with the different reports, you can then use the command line utility to automate those reports.  Below are a couple of examples for the command line.

dumpsec.exe /rpt=allsharedirs /outfile=c:\myfile.txt /saveas=tsv
dumpsec.exe /computer=\\127.0.0.1 /rpt=users /outfile=c:\myfile.txt /saveas=csv

Notice that the saveas can be tsv or csv depending on your next step.
Also, notice that the second includes a computer using 127.0.0.1.  Obviously this is analyzing itself but it can be used on a remote computer.

Day 1 – This was an easy one.  I included an extra that does the same thing.  It’s been a while since I ran into this problem but if you need to convert a DOS/Win file to a Unix file, this is fairly easy.

tr ‘\r’ ‘\n’ < file.txt > file.txt
sed ‘s/.$//’

tr is great for converting case as well.
tr “[a-z]” “[A-Z]” < file.txt

A good site specifically for sed one liners, http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt

Considering the world is flat (thanks T.L. Friedman), there is a need to expand our knowledge of different cultures. In the context where cultural awareness was discussed, the focus was on business partners.  But we need a more global cultural awareness for life.

I’m reminded of the book from the late 80s, Cultural Literacy. We need Cultural Literacy expanded beyond just an American point of view. I can see several books coming out,
“Cultural Literacy of Pick your country/religion/social group”
