I wonder if Sony every anticipated that the PSN would be THIS big a honeypot? My PS3 is going in a DMZ, right now.

I know it's not much of a big deal, but I have always been deterred from using Puppet, Chef, CfEngine because: a) You need to setup a central server (I hate adding non-core infrastructure) b) You need Ruby. IMHO a whole new world of depende
