Everything is working very nicely now... =) I can login locally authenticating against the LDAP database, so that's very positive. It's a bit of a PITA for account/password maintenance (I had to write a ldap-passwd script for LDAP-based users to change thier passwords.. actually, speaking of which, does anyone know how to read input from stdin into a bash script but not print out the text to stdout? Kinda like passwd when you enter in your new password... that's the only thing missing from the script right now). I do have one other concern, and I hope someone with a little more LDAP experience than I has an idea (thus why I'm also cc'ing this to the expert list). When I do lookups against the LDAP database locally, it's very fast. But when I do them from the PPC machine, they're horrendously slow. I have NSS configured to do passwd/shadow/group/hosts lookups from the LDAP server, and I'm pretty sure the LDAP client (via /etc/ldap.conf) is configured properly as it does eventually work, but it's very very slow. For instance, using "getent hosts" on the PPC machine takes 30s-1m before the hosts info from LDAP is returned, but when I do "getent hosts" on the LDAP server (likewise configured with regards to NSS), the information is returned immediately. I've looked at the slapd manpage and I've looked a the OpenLDAP guide, but I don't see anything in there as to why it's so slow when accessing it from remote. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I think LDAP-based authentication is very very slick, and works real nice (once you get past the PITA to set it up), but this slowdown is ridiculous... doing a simple query like: ldapsearch -LL -H ldap://10.0.5.5 -b"dc=danen,dc=net" -x "(uid=adanen)" takes forever... in fact, I haven't had it return any info once yet. But getent hosts returns info (slow) as does doing a ping to a host that's listed in ou=Hosts. getent passwd works also... but still slow (30s-1m). My ldapsearch just never returns anything, and the logs are, well, pretty cryptic. Any pointers, tips, etc. would be more than welcome... If this thing can be sped up to be near-instant (ie. 1-3s delays), I would be extremely happy.

Surely just select the source string with your mouse, then go to the destination place and click your middle button (if you have a wheel mouse click the wheel, if you only have a two button mouse click both at once).

Re: [expert] Forte for Java on Mandrake 8.1
hi list it just so happen that i am currently researching about threads-max when i saw this thread on my mails. the internet sources say the computation for thread-max is ((RAM * 1024 * 1024) /8192)/2 check out: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=3814 however, on actual experience, i have a web/java server with 2 GB RAM and the default thread-max set is only 32768. if i should use the computation above it would be way more than 32768. it seems that it is assumed (by the kernel developers) that 512 MB RAM is the max RAM which is why even if i have more than 512 MB, my thread-max was set to 32768. or maybe they think that 32768 is the max that is still workable for the linux OS. i really dont have any idea about that. im not sure how its gonna affect the system by setting the max thread to the computed value or at least double the current default. anyway, i am gonna make some tests to see if its gonna make the java apps perform better or if its gonna kill it. hope the info above sheds light on your queries about the computation. cheers, dianne --- damian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > El vie, 15-03-2002 a las 16:52, James escribió: > > On Fri, 15 Mar 2002 09:47:14 -0500 > > Bill Davidson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Now I'm curious.

[expert] Orinoco Wireless Card
Hi, I have a desktop and a laptop both running 8.1 and Orinoco Wavelan Wireless PCMCIA cards. I was able to get the wireless card working on my laptop fairly easily by downloading the driver from the OrinocoWireless.com web site, compiling it and editing the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file. No such luck on the desktop however. It is automatically detected in the 8.1 install (it is not in the 8.2 install incedentally), but even so after inputting all the parameters I needed during install I was not able to connect to the internet with it. So I then followed the steps I followed for the laptop (meaning I followed the steps in the orinoco wirless driver README to the letter). But afterwords, not only could I still not connect to the internet, but it no longer seems to be detected by my system. WHen I open DrakConf, it doesn't even show I have a network device at all (but when I first installed it did show it, I just couldn't bring it up). My log files show a variety of messages regarding this card during bootup. I've included them below. Thank you very much. - Paul Rodriguez WAVELAN init_modeule(): doing device probing (bad !) Specify base adresses while loading module to correct the problem WAVELAN init_module(): no device found later... PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:13.0.

[expert] NETDEV WATCHDOG: ippp0: transmit timed out with sis900 ethernet card, kernel 2.4.18-4mdk!?
Hello together, since of the reported security problems I upgraded to the kernel 2.4.18-4mdk from kernel 2.4.16. Now I have problems with my ethernet card, which is connected to a second pc with windows: if my pc is on over night, the second pc is off and booted another day, then the connection is very slow and a lot of pings hangs with times longer than 6 seconds! Normally about 270 usec! Then you can also see the kernel message NETDEV WATCHDOG: ippp0: transmit timed out, there are no losses of frames shown in ifconfig. shutdown and shutup of eth0 with ifdown/ifup when the second pc is running corrects the configuration, and communication then runs normally. Do you have some similar problems with it? Thanks for your help.

[expert] KDE kamera module supported in kde2.2.2?
Hi all, I've read and I see that KDE's Configuration Panel offers a way to choose among digital cameras. I can choose the model I borrowed from work which is a Canon Powershot Pro70. Pushing the Test button does nothing. Opening Konqueror and begining the URL with kamera: or gphoto: just pops up a msg. saying 'Protocol not supported'. How do you get this thing to work, or has mandrake not build this thing in when compiling? I can use the camera with gtkam and the gphoto2 lib though, so I now the camera connection works. The connection is serial and at 56K so very slow. Often gtkam acts deadslow too. Thanks for your input. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] Where in in the world is the encrypted filesystem support?
I don't even know how many 8.2 beta installs I've done thus far, but I haven't yet found the encrypted filesystem support that's claimed on http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/82beta.php3 I might be assuming it's something that it's not. Is it an option when setting up filesystems? That's where I'd think it'd naturally be, but I haven't seen it there. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! -s __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
