Re: [389-users] ns-slapd processes not dying

2010-09-08 Thread Angel Bosch Mora
- Missatge original -
 Hi,
 
 We had similar problem before, but I am not sure if it is related to
 your case.
 
 The file descriptors that were opened by the ns-slapd process was all
 in a CLOSE_WAIT state. You can try execute netstat -anput | grep
 CLOSE_WAIT and see if there's a lot of dangling CLOSE_WAIT socket
 opened by ns-slapd.


seems that is not the case.

i can see lot of ESTABLISHED connections, but not a single CLOSE_WAIT. ex:


tcp0  0 :::172.26.67.79:389 :::192.168.224.16:53143 
ESTABLISHED 315/ns-slapd


the quick and dirty workaround is restarting the instance every night.


regards,

abosch

Re: [389-users] Segfault Core Dumps

2010-09-08 Thread Dael Maselli


It worked!

I wrote fs.suid_dumpable=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, `sysctl -p` and 
restarted dirsrv. Now it dumps.


Thank you!

I will report here the backtrace when it occurs.

Regards,
Dael Maselli.

The directory server dumps core in the log file directory, which by
default is /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE

Yes, it is the same as working directory:
# ls -l /proc/`pidof ns-slapd`/cwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 7 17:12 /proc/18721/cwd -
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-ds1



Is the crash easily reproducible?

No, it isn't. It seems random, but I can simulate a crash with kill
-QUIT.

I tried killing a simple `sleep 10`:

# ulimit -c unlimited

# sleep 10
[1] 19726

# kill -QUIT 19726
[1]+ Quit (core dumped) sleep 10

# ls -l core.*
-rw--- 1 root root 290816 Aug 31 08:52 core.1008

But if I kill -QUIT ns-slapd no file is created.

ns-slapd typically runs as setuid to a non-root user. Check what
fs.suid_dumpable or kernel.suid_dumpable are set to.

Thanks,
Dael Maselli.

[389-users] SSL Cert Issue

2010-09-08 Thread John Mancuso
Two questions:

1. I have generated self-signed ssl/ca certs trying both the
certutil method from the redhat doc and also the standard openssl
x509 req -new method. After installing the certs and enabling secure
ldaps replication both result in

slapi_ldap_bind - Error: could not send bind request for id
[cn=replication manager,cn=config] mech [SIMPLE]: error 81 (Can't
contact LDAP server) -8172 (Peer's certificate issuer has been marked
as not trusted by the user.) 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable)

Is there a known issue with self-signed certs?

2. If there is an issue with the above, we may end up purchasing a
wildcard cert for replicating across subdomains. I know in the HTML
world some web browsers complain about ssl wildcard certs across
subdomains. Any possible issues with this approach?

You need to create your own CA Cert, sign your cert with that CA Cert, 
and import the CA cert into the certutil store.

You also want to put the CA public cert into /etc/openldap/certs so the 
openldap tools will use it.

There are a few guides on the internet for creating your own CA.  I know 
Fedora 13 comes with its own CA tool.  I personally use tinyca.

I followed the exact procedure below numerous times with the same
frustrating error:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Managing_SSL-Using_certutil.html#certutil-procedure

!481 $ openssl verify cacert_core.asc

!474 $ certutil -V -u V -d . -n Core CA certificate
certutil: certificate is valid

!476 $ certutil -V -u V -d . -n Core Server-Cert
certutil: certificate is valid

I also imported the consumers CA cert into the supplier ... this is
correct? I tried only importing the suppliers CA cert before with the
same issue (trying everything here!)

This looks strange though (why the duplicate cert):

!478 $ certutil -d . -L

 No, they work fine. Did you add the CA certificate that signed the server
 certificate as well?

 You can verify that the certificate is ok on the server with:

 certutil -V -u V -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-YOUR_INSTANCE

 You are probably just missing the CA certificate. If you have it in PEM
 format you can add it via the command-line with:

 certutil -A -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-YOUR_INSTANCE -n 'Your CA' -t CT,, -a 
 /path/to/ca.pem

 The 'Your CA' here is the nickname of the CA certificate. It is how it will
 appear in the DS console and using certutil -L. Pick something meaningful to
 you.

 2. If there is an issue with the above, we may end up purchasing a
 wildcard cert for replicating across subdomains. I know in the HTML

 A wildcard cert will work but its probably overkill to buy one just for this
 purpose. self-signed certificates will work fine.

How to pass two routers

2010-09-08 Thread roland
I have a client with a network at city A en one at city B
A:192.168.9.0/24
B:192.168.0.0/24

Site A is connected to site B via a special Internet connection using a  
router-B,to which I don't have access.
 From the internet we enter site A through a router-A, and from there I can  
connect to site B via ssh, using the second gateway, router-B

Is there a way to tell the server at site A to pass all traffic  
192.168.0.0/24 to site  B?
I mean, router-A redirects all traffic from port  to server of site A,  
which pass all this traffic to site B, using gateway router-B

 Run the Plot_Digitizer, open your image file, then follow the tabs to

[F-13] Printing regression ?

2010-09-08 Thread Denis Leroy
Hi list,

Woke up this morning to find my printer no longer working. Looks like a 
recent F-13 testing update broke my setup, even though printing has been 
very very stable for me as a rule these past couple of years.

I'm seeing

/var/log/messages:Sep  8 08:26:54 jupiler hpcups[2108]: 
prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 493: cupsRasterOpen failed, fd = 0


after trying to reconfigure the printer (an HP Photosmart C7280). 
Downgrading the recent ghostscript testing package didn't fix it. I'm 
still looking into it, but has anyone ran into similar problems ?

Hi,
it would be inappropriate for me to give you specific rules on how to activate
iptable forwarding on your live system (it is not a place to experiment if you
are not familiar with iptables).

I can tell you that once you become familiar with iptables, it will be easy.
Please get familiar with it, it is an important application in area of firewall
and routing.

This is netfilter/iptables main site:
http://www.netfilter.org/
Find Documentation section:
FAQ, HOWTOs, Tutorials

Search Google for:
iptables forwarding
iptables forward example

This is more technical summary:
$ man iptables
$ man ip6tables

Do it, it will pay off for the long run for you.
Experiment on your non-production desktop/laptop with Fedora, CentOS, RedHat.

The package that is installed (per dafault) is:
$ yum list iptables

It can be operated via:
- command line
- GUI (example of GNOME menu) 
  System-Administration-Firewall

When you import a csv into oocalc you have the option to select your
column data type. You just select text for the second column and that's
all.

  Hi,

 Can you give me an example. I'm not familiar with iptables. Would not  
 like
 to do the wrong thing.

 Thanks

 Hi,
 it would be inappropriate for me to give you specific rules on how to  
 activate
 iptable forwarding on your live system (it is not a place to experiment  
 if you
 are not familiar with iptables).

 I can tell you that once you become familiar with iptables, it will be  
 easy.
 Please get familiar with it, it is an important application in area of  
 firewall
 and routing.

 This is netfilter/iptables main site:
 http://www.netfilter.org/
 Find Documentation section:
 FAQ, HOWTOs, Tutorials

 Search Google for:
 iptables forwarding
 iptables forward example

 This is more technical summary:
 $ man iptables
 $ man ip6tables

 Do it, it will pay off for the long run for you.
 Experiment on your non-production desktop/laptop with Fedora, CentOS,  
 RedHat.

 The package that is installed (per dafault) is:
 $ yum list iptables

 It can be operated via:
 - command line
 - GUI (example of GNOME menu)
   System-Administration-Firewall

 JB

Thank you very much.
By the way:
The system is not a live system, it is in a test faze.

The only thing I was expecting from you was to give a solution for this  
fictive situation:
suppose you are in a situation:
site A: 192.168.0.0/24 server 192.168.0.1
gateway 192.168.0.99 for incoming Internet connections through port XX
gateway 192.168.0.98 for outgoing connections to site B
site B: 192.168.1.0/24 server to contact 192.168.1.1

What do I have to configure, on the server on site A, to pass everything,  
that comes in on port XX, to server 192.168.1.1 through gateway  
192.168.0.98

This situation is fictitious and the server is not live.

Could you give an answer to this question?
Thank you very much.

Roland

  Deactivating Automatic Changes

By default, OpenOffice.org automatically corrects many common typing
errors and applies formatting while you type. You can immediately undo
any automatic changes with Ctrl+Z.

The following shows you how to deactivate and reactivate the automatic
changes in OpenOffice.org Calc:


Automatic text or number completion

When making an entry in a cell, OpenOffice.org Calc automatically
suggests matching input found in the same column. This function is known
as *AutoInput*.

   1.

  To turn the AutoInput on and off, set or remove the check mark in
  front of *Tools - Cell Contents - AutoInput*
  
vnd.sun.star.help://scalc/text/scalc/01/0613.xhp?Language=en-USSystem=UNIXUseDB=noDbPAR=scalc.


Automatic conversion to date format

OpenOffice.org Calc automatically converts certain entries to dates. For
example, the entry *1.1* may be interpreted as January 1 of the current
year, according to the locale settings of your operating system, and
then displayed according to the date format applied to the cell.

To ensure that an entry is interpreted as text, add an apostrophe at the
beginning of the entry. The apostrophe is not displayed in the cell.


Quotation marks replaced by custom quotes

Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect Options*. Go to the *Custom Quotes* tab and
unmark *Replace*.


Cell content always begins with uppercase

Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect* *Options*. Go to the *Options* tab. Unmark
*Capitalize first letter of every sentence*.


Replace word with another word

Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect* *Options*. Go to the *Replace* tab. Select
the word pair and click *Delete*.

Running xrandr for kdm and after login

2010-09-08 Thread Jonathan Gardner
I've been playing around with a dual-monitor setup on my F13 install.
I can run a command like the following to get them to display
properly:

/usr/bin/xrandr --output DFP2 --auto --rotate left --output CRT1
--auto --pos 1080x420

I added the above line to /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup. When I start the
computer or log out, the kdm does start with both screens properly
aligned, but the login box is too high on the CRT1 side so it is cut
in half.

I don't know how to fix where the login box shows up. Ideally, I'd
like it to appear in the middle of the DFP2 screen. If someone has
some tips, I'd appreciate it.

I thought maybe it's getting confused with such a wide virtual space,
so perhaps turning off CRT1 will get it to center it on DFP2 properly.
I changed the line in /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup to the following:

/usr/bin/xrandr --output DFP2 --auto --rotate left --output CRT1 --off

Now CRT1 is turned off, but the login box is nowhere to be seen on DFP2.

Once I log in, it obviously preserves my xrandr configuration. I'd
like to have it switch to dual-monitor mode, so I tried adding the
following line to /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession, but that doesn't seem to
run at all.

As I've mucked with the files, I might have broken something. Now
knetworkmanager isn't starting, although that may be a different
problem.

Print multiple emails to one file

2010-09-08 Thread Alex
Hi,

Does anyone know of a program that can manipulate mbox files? I'd like
to print about 50 emails to a single file so I can email them as a PDF
to someone.

Thunderbird will let you highlight and print multiple emails, but they
all either overwrite each other or save to an individual file with all
the headers, not just the ones that are suitable for display.

Thanks for any ideas.

I don't know how to get them out of Thunderbird any better, but if you
can get them dumped into individual PDFs and named appropriately to
control the order they will be combined in then I would try pdftk[1].
It's available in the standard fedora repo (yum install pdftk).

Hi,
Is it possible that what you need is a proxy server on your primary site A
network ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server

In particular, perhaps an Intercepting Proxy Server (transparent proxy) that 
combines a proxy server with a gateway or router (commonly with NAT 
capabilities) ?

Btw, NAT stands for Network Address Translation, and is the process of
modifying network address information in datagram (IP) packet headers while in 
transit across a traffic routing device for the purpose of remapping one IP 
address space into another.

You really should install the module in the correct kernel module

/lib/modules/kernelversion/kernel/drivers/media/video directory and
doing a depmod -a afterwards.

I do not know of an automatic way to print them to one file,
let alone print them without the full headers.

How about printing each one to a separate file, and then
catenate the files into a single file, which you can then
convert to pdf.

If the recipient has an easier way to deal with this, you could bounce the
messages to them. At least some mail clients allow you to tag a bunch of
different messages and then bounce them on to the same email address in
one command.

Yes, I realize I can do that, but there's at least 50 of them that
have to be printed. It's part of a presentation, so I can't really
bounce them back, either.

I remember doing it many years ago, but can't remember how. It was
right around Linux v1.0, actually. I believe the program was called
pretty print or something. Oh well, better get started.

 the headers, not just the ones that are suitable for display.


i am not aware of such a program, other that a 'digester', see below.

to get all of emails in one file, create a new 'folder file', copy emails
you want to new folder.

outside of thunderbird, open 'folder file' with a text editor and look at
headers.

you will note that all headers begin From -  followed with a date. rest
of header, lines start with a capital character and end with :. body of
email starts with a line space.

exceptions to this are some headers that are longer than 80 characters.
these headers *usually* wrap and continue with a tab, 11 spaces, or a
single space.

problems that you will have is removing of:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=
which are delimited with --===

Content-Type: delimiters also begin line with 14 - dash characters.

Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
 protocol=application/pgp-signature;

'pgp-signatures' are delimited with --enig and are enclosed
with -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- and -END PGP SIGNATURE-.

3 more problems that you will run into:

Content-Type: text/html
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

you can use 'grep' to remove most of this, and then hand edit. but, to
remove all of this, you will need to use an 'awk'/'gawk' script or a
'digester', see below.

you may be aware of this, maybe not. main of presenting this is that
possibly someone who has a good grasp of 'awk' and 'gawk' can post
some pointers to help you work up a script to clean up thunderbird email
to a file for converting to a pdf file.

what would be best, is someone who is aware of how tech support sites
strip emails for sending as a 'digest'.

Yes, I thought about using perl to strip out the Received: lines,
X-headers, and attachments, but really thought there would be a
program that existed for this purpose.

I ended up using an old version of hypermail that I had installed on
another system, and configured it so it just prints the message with
the simple headers. I can now convert them from html to
postscript/PDF, I think.

 I can now convert them from html to postscript/PDF, I think.

 Hi,

 Does anyone know of a program that can manipulate mbox files? I'd like

 Thunderbird will let you highlight and print multiple emails, but they
 all either overwrite each other or save to an individual file with all
 the headers, not just the ones that are suitable for display.

 i am not aware of such a program, other that a 'digester', see below.

 to get all of emails in one file, create a new 'folder file', copy emails
 you want to new folder.

 outside of thunderbird, open 'folder file' with a text editor and look at
 headers.

 you will note that all headers begin From -  followed with a date. rest
 of header, lines start with a capital character and end with :. body of
 email starts with a line space.

 exceptions to this are some headers that are longer than 80 characters.
 these headers *usually* wrap and continue with a tab, 11 spaces, or a
 single space.

 problems that you will have is removing of:

 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=
 which are delimited with --===

 Content-Type: delimiters also begin line with 14 - dash characters.

 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
   protocol=application/pgp-signature;

 'pgp-signatures' are delimited with --enig and are enclosed
 with -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- and -END PGP SIGNATURE-.

 3 more problems that you will run into:

 Content-Type: text/html
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

 you can use 'grep' to remove most of this, and then hand edit. but, to
 remove all of this, you will need to use an 'awk'/'gawk' script or a
 'digester', see below.

 you may be aware of this, maybe not. main of presenting this is that
 possibly someone who has a good grasp of 'awk' and 'gawk' can post
 some pointers to help you work up a script to clean up thunderbird email
 to a file for converting to a pdf file.

 what would be best, is someone who is aware of how tech support sites
 strip emails for sending as a 'digest'.


 hth.

I had forgotten about base64 encoding of non textual content.
All images and non-text attachments will be encoded base64.
So, if Alex wanted the Images to be part of the pdf file he
wants to create, then this will not give him what he wants.
So, it would seem that Thunderbird is not the right tool either.

For plain text, I found

I have not used dict for a number of years, since kde-3.5, basically. There is

If I recall correctly, the stardict web site on sourceforge (?) has/has links

Re: Problems installing with multiple drives

2010-09-08 Thread Sam Varshavchik

Emmett Culley writes:


For me this problem has been there since Fedora 12, with no problems before 
that.


Actually, that would be about the time the problems stopped for me. This is 
one of these things that are devilishly hard to get right, for everyone.



In my case device.map is always the same and contains sda and sdb in
order.  Yet sometimes upon reboot after installation no sda or sdb is
known by the kernel.  If I boot to rescue from the DVD it seems like some
of the time all of the drives are there and in the proper order because
chroot to /mnt/sysimage works.

Some of what you described above sounds similar to what I am seeing in Fedora 
13.  I'll report a bug, but is it a kernel bug or an anaconda bug?  I'll keep 
looking.


This would be an Anaconda issue, however I'm not very optimistic that there 
is an easy solution. No harm from filing a bug, I suppose, but for the best 
chances of someone being able to figure this out, be sure to include every 
hardware detail you can think of; from the output of lspci, to dmesg after a 
regular kernel boot.


I wonder if smolt can be leveraged to survey the install base and log which 
systems with which kind of hardware see which disks in which order. I think 
what's needed here is a very large scale hardware survey.

  Deactivating Automatic Changes

 By default, OpenOffice.org automatically corrects many common typing
 errors and applies formatting while you type. You can immediately undo
 any automatic changes with Ctrl+Z.

 The following shows you how to deactivate and reactivate the automatic
 changes in OpenOffice.org Calc:


    Automatic text or number completion

 When making an entry in a cell, OpenOffice.org Calc automatically
 suggests matching input found in the same column. This function is known
 as *AutoInput*.

   1.

      To turn the AutoInput on and off, set or remove the check mark in
      front of *Tools - Cell Contents - AutoInput*
      
 vnd.sun.star.help://scalc/text/scalc/01/0613.xhp?Language=en-USSystem=UNIXUseDB=noDbPAR=scalc.


    Automatic conversion to date format

 OpenOffice.org Calc automatically converts certain entries to dates. For
 example, the entry *1.1* may be interpreted as January 1 of the current
 year, according to the locale settings of your operating system, and
 then displayed according to the date format applied to the cell.

 To ensure that an entry is interpreted as text, add an apostrophe at the
 beginning of the entry. The apostrophe is not displayed in the cell.


    Quotation marks replaced by custom quotes

 Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect Options*. Go to the *Custom Quotes* tab and
 unmark *Replace*.


    Cell content always begins with uppercase

 Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect* *Options*. Go to the *Options* tab. Unmark
 *Capitalize first letter of every sentence*.


    Replace word with another word

 Choose *Tools - AutoCorrect* *Options*. Go to the *Replace* tab. Select
 the word pair and click *Delete*.


thanks a lot, that answered some of my other questions too.

how to change default at import. It hurts a lot unless I do check
column every import.

If I switch pam back to using mkhomedir instead of oddjob_mkhomedir,
then GDM works correctly. So I guess for some reason GDM doesn't play

 You drop the leading '#' from the baseurl=... line and replace
 download.fedoraproject.org  with download.fedora.redhat.com  OR the

 something's wrong with your networking.

as stated in email Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:44:46 +, correcting
'baseurl=' solved 1 part of problem.

restoring 'mirrorlist' to original address solved another.

biggest problem causing failures was 'dns' resolving.

by subbing 'download.fedoraproject.org' with '209.132.183.67', yum was
able to to get releases and updates, but mirrors still failed.

to get to mirrors, after checking network configs several times, i worked
out why DNS was failing.

1st time checking, i found that during install, '192.168.0.254' was set as
'Primary DNS:' and 'DNS search path:' was set to 'gateway.2wire.net'.

1st attempt was to change '192.168.0.254' to '192.168.1.254', but still
had problems.

as it turned out, 'gateway.2wire.net' was not getting resolved. changing
this to '192.168.1.254' allowed all url addresses to be resolved.

i do not know how installation got things wrong, but that was primary of
problems.


i thank you very much for your help and setting me in right direction.

 Unfortunately, I read you cannot issue nomodeset to the kernel at boot
 in F13.

I am running F13 and I do have nomodeset in grub.conf.
Could yout at least try it?

Re: GNOME Terminal alternatives?

 Some time ago I posted the message below, and still haven't been able
 to find the answers to the Terminal configuration questions that I
 have, and hoped someone might have some ideas. Is there an alternative
 that might be better suited for what I want to do, without requiring
 creating an .xtermrc from the command-line?

I don't believe gnome-terminal uses xtermrc.

 - How can I disable the automatic conversion of email address and URLs
 to hyperlinks?

I don't believe you can.

 - How can I make the mouse scroll wheel be used for scrolling back
 through the terminal buffer, rather than acting as an up arrow?

That's what it does in the default configuration.

 - How can I change the terminal bell sound?

I don't believe you can.  You can turn it off if it bothers you.

 - How can I configure the terminal so copy is performed by simply
 highlighting the text with the mouse, and paste is done through
 shift-insert?

That's what it does in the default configuration.

  I understand the default is to press the mouse scroll
 wheel, but I would prefer the method I've described, and the scroll
 wheel on my mouse apparently doesn't always properly work -- sometimes
 it simply does not paste, and I have to do it a few times. I don't
 understand why, because it's a brand new mouse (MS Wireless 5000).

The wheel is probably too sensitive.  If it sends scroll up or scroll 
down, you won't get a mouse-button-down event.

 - I found a link to copy and paste between a terminal and Windows
 running in a VM, but isn't there a better way than installing and
 running a separate program on both Windows and Linux for this purpose?
 http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/copy-and-paste-between-vm-and-host

No.  There's currently no direct way to do that.  The easiest way is 
probably to enable RDP on your Windows guest and use rdesktop to access 
it rather than the VNC console provided by kvm.

Re: How to pass two routers

2010-09-08 Thread Gordon Messmer
There's no need to use NAT, proxy servers, or oddball iptables rules to 
accomplish what roland described.

As Dario pointed out, you have two options:

1) Set up a static route on each server in LAN A so that they use 
192.168.0.99 as their default gateway and 192.168.0.98 as the gateway 
for the network in LAN B.  You can configure the route using Fedora's 
network configuration tools.

2) Set up a static route on the router at 192.168.0.99 using 
192.168.0.98 as the gateway for the network in LAN B.  This will 
simplify the configuration of all of the servers in LAN A, since they 
don't need a route of their own.

Kernel 2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 breaks my BCM3412 WiFi card!

2010-09-08 Thread Silent-Hunter

  wl0 is gone when I use the new kernel! Does anyone else have this 
problem? Does anyone know what to do to fix this?

SOLVED. JD you are awesome!

DRBL automatically puts the kernel boot parameter nomodeset by
*default* for client systems. Not good. I removed it, and it works
now. JD, you saved me a lot of work.
Thank You  :-)

I will report to DRBL project their bug.
