Server Names

closed “air gap” none of that bs vlan crap network son.

using gay names for servers fucking sucks.

in case anyone is wondering what i mean by gay server names i would be referring to any of the following:

star wars
battlestar galactica
matrix
babylon 5

wait this will be faster:
tv shows
movies
comics
or anything else similarly gay.

So what do you suggest, oh master-of-server-names?

something useful that actually suggests what it might be, or its location, or its purpose?

h8h8h8h8h8h8 stupid lame server names, i would be totally embarrassed if people here at my work had mapped drives that had descriptions of “admin on vader”

so like this?

porn stars :tup:

i would be totally psyched if my J: drive was “Load on JJameson”
“Load on hnah.adroot” just doesn’t have the same effect.

racial epithets :tup:

If I was a l33t geek i’d use beers.

lol thats a bit over the top, but yes.

I agree on both fronts.

How many servers do you have?

:bsflag: you know you’d name them after final fantasy characters

I set up servers for one of the major banks here in the US. We were told not to come close to doing anything of the above mentioned.

Reason? : :lockd::lockd::lockd:

I think that if you are going to use “fun names” it should be for workstations only. Servers should be named using useful naming conventions.

Wait is it vader that is responsible for oracle? No wait, he sends mail I think. Aaahhhhh fuck it, I’ll just connect to it and figure it out…

That would PISS me off

use matrix names, then oracle can be on the oracle.

i usally use he color of the server + box, whitebox, redbox, silverbox, blackbox

I never said it was true. It is in someways when dealing with less intelligent people. But security through obscurity is a dumb concept. Personally I no longer care what box names are. I just want shit setup right and secured correctly. Which is amazing how much that doesn’t happen at so many places.
