Re: [SLUG] Debugging Linux ACL's
Then there may not be a user in your user database (/etc/passwd, LDAP, etc) that has a UID (uidNumber) equal to 300. That's OK, it just means there is no name associated with that UID number. So 'ls -l' will show the owner of the file as '300', a process listing 'ps auxf' will show processes run by '300' and not a username, etc. On 1 September 2014 15:53, David Lyon david.lyon.preissh...@gmail.com wrote: That returns nothing.

On 1 September 2014 16:07, Jake Anderson ya...@vapourforge.com wrote: Is this perhaps linked to a domain or anything like that? Yes good point. Since this seems to be something to do with samba shares, the user '300' is probably the uidNumber of a user in a windows domain. Linux can use AD as an LDAP server if you want to set it up. I think you also need 'services for Unix' or something setup in your AD as well. With that setup, the getent command will see the username/UID mappings. You can also find out the username associated with UIDnumber 300 by doing an LDAP query on AD. ldapsearch -x -h ad-server uidNumber=300 But, that just the simplest query. A lot more needs to setup like default DN info. Also you will probably have to bind the the AD server as a user [-D binddn] [-w password] switches for the query to work. And this all assumes you have the 'services for Unix' installed on your AD server. There may be a simple samba like way to do things that I don't know. -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngayw...@une.edu.auPhone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~normFax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or Power Point attachments.

Correct on both accounts, but this is why I insist on using -0 whenever
possible, especially when processing input to sensitive commands like rm,
and bother adding the weird echo -e.
But why are we we trying to pipe output to xargs. We are only dealing
with one name.
Whats wrong with just:
rm -rf $(readlink link)
Should that not deal with special characters? Seems to work for spaces
and in my tests.
Another nul generator could be
perl -e 'print \0'
instead of echo -e \\0
or
readlink -fe link | awk '{ print $0 \0 }' | xargs -0r rm -rf
and possibly other ways to achieve the same goal.

[SLUG] PCMCIA modem cards for linux
Can anyone recommend a PCMCIA modem card that works with linux?
I've used Xircom dual ethernet/modem cards in the past without problems
on RH{7.*,8.*,9} but this time I need just a modem card.
I got a D-Link DM-560 because they sell them at everythinglinux.com.au,
even though there is the suspicious text WinCONNECT on the front of
them.
The DM-560 does not do very well for me on RH{8,9}. Minicom can get
it going but it connects with 7bit data + parity at 1200 BAUD. The RH
PPP setup connects at the same speed/data configuration as well and
hence fails.
So I suspect that the WinCONNECT means some secret windows
business is required to make the DM-560 work.
Or maybe the DM-560 requires a special initialization string?
Any recommendations for a PCMCIA modem card?
