Oracle related rants (and lots of off-topic stuff)…
I was recently nominated and approved as a member of the OakTable Network .
Do you ever get that feeling that one day people are going to realize you don’t have a clue what you are talking about? I think that day just got a little closer. 🙂

I’ve been using Kickstart and network installations for a while now. I think the last time I wrote about it was in RHEL3 days (here).
Well I finally got round to having a look at PXE Network Installations, which just tags an extra bit onto the start to save you running round with boot CDs.
With the amount of installations I’ve been doing recently it’s really handy.

Continuing my OCP 11g upgrade campaign, I’ve been looking at Fine-Grained Access to Network Services in Oracle Database 11g Release 1.
This represents a pretty major security improvement for Oracle 11g. In previous versions the all-or-nothing security associated with database callouts was a little ham-fisted to say the least.
On the down side, I think it will confuse a few people when they are upgrading existing databases, but it’s a small price to pay for the peace of mind.
