hello,

I am working on a migration of LDAP server from an old

*389-Directory/1.2.6.1* (B2010.272.2313, OS : CentOS 5.5).
There is a migration script - migrate-ds-admin.pl (or just migrate-ds.pl 
if you don't care about console, admin server, etc.)


My actual architecture use Multi Master Replication protocol (2 nodes) 
for data and configuration, Windows synchronization (with 1 Active 
Directory) and some password policies.
For my data, i have 1 database (userRoot) with one suffix 
(dc=myOrg,dc=myTLD).


List of possible strategies :
- choice 1 (server level) : applying patches until geting the last 
version (i think it is not a good idea and my obsolete OS cannot be 
upgraded for external reasons, i will start from scratch on latest 
CentOS) ?
- choice 2 (database level) : backuping up previous databases userRoot 
and netscapeRoot and restoring them into new installed architecture 
(but i think perhaps config database schema has changed between 1.1.3 
and 1.2.6.1 server versions) ?
- choice 3 (data level) : exporting data in LDIF file (without 
configuration and no assurance into operationals attributes export) 
and importing it in new installed architecture after configuring it ?


my favorit LDAP tool (Apache Directory Studio) help me to export data 
with operationals attributes, this request :

The only update so far was pushed a long time ago at

If that is indeed the problem, you can look up the older version in
http://koji.fedoraproject.org.Download that and run rpm --Uvh package
--oldpackage would help downgrade it to the previous version which should
fix the issue but since I nor anyone else I am aware of is running into this

Jatin,

That depends upon your definition of soon. After an RHEL major release
it usually takes the CentOS folks about two months (give or take) to
generate their corresponding major release. They have to replace all of
the uniquely Red Hat artwork and any other copyrighted non-free
intellectual property with their own, rebuild all of the affected
packages, test the installation processes for *their* versions, and
create all new distribution media.

If I recall correctly, the release of CentOS 5 was held up while they
worked through some unexpected last minute problems involving the x86_64
build and the sizes of the disc images.

If I had to guess when CentOS 6 might be released, I'd say mid- to
late-January 2011. Watch their web site at http://www.centos.org/.

Jatin, in addition to following what Doc said in that last paragraph, if you 
want to see the status of the CentOS development follow the CentOS mailing 
lists and IRC channels, as that's where most of the planning and discussion is 
happening.

An alternative is the Scientific Linux distribution, which is intended for a 
different audience than CentOS, but built from the same upstream source RPMS.

Disc size and integration look to once again be opportunities.

yum and groupinstall

2010-12-02 Thread Tom Murray
I have setup a local repository containing several .rpm files. I created a
comps.xml file outlining the category and groups for the local repository.
However, when I issue the yum grouplist command, I get the following error:

*Failed to add groups file for repository: localRepo - comps file is
empty/damaged*

However, if I try to install one of the the packages in the repository, it
works just fine.

Here are the steps I took to create the repodata:

The comps.xml and repository are stored in the directory:
/var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64

cd /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
createrepo -g comps.xml .

This created a /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64/repodata directory which contains
the comps.xml and comps.xml.gz file.



Here is my comps.xml file:

Re: Fedora 14, wireless keyboards and encryption

Am 02.12.2010 00:15, schrieb Chris Northwood:

 Thanks for the advice, but after manually recreating the initrd then
 the same still occurs. My wired keyboard is also USB, so I don't think
 it's that. I dug into it some more and checked dmesg - my
 keyboard/mouse aren't getting recognised until after LUKS. Apparently
 the module I'm interested in is hid_sunplus. I tried manually adding
 that to the initrd with Dracut using:

 dracut --force --add-drivers hid_sunplus  initramfs-`uname -r`.img  `uname -r`

 Which works! Now, I believe I have an issue where the next time
 there's a kernel update, this will be lost. So I guess the question
 is, how do I make sure this is included in future initramfs
 generations (or is this a bug in initramfs generation?)

 Thanks,

/etc/dracut.conf or /etc/dracut.conf.d/myconf.conf:

add_drivers+= hid_sunplus 

I also fixed it upstream, thanks!

Problems with USB drive in init 3 -- do I need autofs?

2010-12-02 Thread Robert Moskowitz
System is Fedora 12 in init 3 (non-gui) boot.

I have a 1.5Tb USB drive.  When I reboot, typically I have had to unplug 
and replug the drive or even power cycle the drive to get it found.

Well with this morning's new kernel update, i rebooted and though the 
drive is showing in /media, none of its content is showing.

ls /media/d4ae05a3-c60f-489d-8159-e16c9a271f0b/

Shows nothing.  What to do?

So I was HOPING that perhaps adding autofs would get this properly 
mounted so I can access all the data I have on the drive.

pure number allowed as username in the useradd command?

sudo useradd 123456789

As is known, this leads to big problems if referring to such a user and

Is comps.xml(.gz) in the proper location? you seem to suggest that it is

As you said using a pure number for userid can be diasterous But you
question needs to be answered by the creator of useradd.

I once created a useradd program with added functionality and I know
from first hand experience that are many pitfalls to get it to work
properly. Consider what happens if you have a userid that is the same
number as a userid.

From  man curl  this is the error condition you are experiencing.

6  Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.

I found one reference to someone solving this by the following, though
it might have nothing to do with your problem.
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=threadtopic_id=27667forum=41post_id=113747

Found it... believe it or not but Fedora requires the FQDN
(hostname.domain) in my .repo config file for this to work. CentOS does
not. Go figure.

Do you by any means mean this one :

You said that it installs nicely , well am currently downloading the rpm

how did
it performed , i mean apart from a nice install when u actually tried to
install a guest operating system how was it ? Any special remarks that

looking for arping or equivalent tool

2010-12-02 Thread Claude Jones
Arping was a useful tool that was discontinued during the RHEL5 
lifecycle and I have not been able to find an installable 
equivalent for Fedora 14 due to glibc dependencies. 

Does anyone know of a tool that can broadcast an ARP announcement 
saying this IP should resolve to this MAC” and let you specify 
both

Fedora 14 includes arping.

Package iputils-20100418-3.fc14.i686 provides /sbin/arping and creates
/usr/sbin/arping as a symlink to it.

 Agreed - without knowing what the problems are it is hard to say that
useradd (or anything else) should disallow numerical id's ..

capi4linux service

2010-12-02 Thread Antonio Olivares
Dear fellow fedora users,

I have several machines running Fedora 14 and I get the message:

Starting capi4linux: udev-work[46X]: kernel-provided name 'capi' and NAME= 
'api20' disagree, please use SYMLINK+= or change the kernel to provide the 
proper name

Does this service do anything special or important on the computer that is is 
really needed?

I am deliberating whether to 
# service capi4linux stop
# chkconfig capi4linux off

and not see it again?

I see machine freezing randomly too, Don't know what to blame, nouveau, 
capi4linux, or other thing?  Machine froze several times since Fedora 10, but 
then had not froze, but now it does and screen just changes color.  Is there 
something I can do, 

NO I won't check the memory, been there and done that. Memory tests report fine 
:)

Thanks for advice/suggestions/ and other answers are greatly appreciated.

Regards,


Antonio 

P.S. will give smoltProfile if needed to determine if that could be what is 
wrong?

F14: how do I remove IcedTea plugin from FIreFox?

2010-12-02 Thread Tony Camuso
I have an applet that will not work with IcedTea. This applet is a remote
console applet spawned by the HP iLO web interface and is critical for my
work.

With F13, I was able to successfully install the Oracle jre and soft link
the correct plugin. 

Recently, I upgraded to F14. Of course, the Open jre with IcedTea came with 
F14, so I yum erase the jre and rpm -ivh the Oracle jre, just as I did
in F13, an soft linked to the correct plugin thus:

# ln -sf /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

... which is what I did in F13. 

However, I have actually removed everything from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
and from my /home/user/.mozilla/plugins directories, and I am still seeing
plugins in FireFox, most annoyingly, this one. 

File: IcedTeaPlugin.so
Version: 
The IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.8 
(fedora-41.b18.fc13-i386)) executes Java applets.

Appreciate any and all help ...

This is for ISDN.  If you don't have isdn you don't need it.

yum remove isdn4k-utils

Also, check to see if you have callweaver-capi installed and remove that
as well.

 Just open a terminal, type

 Btw, I don't think your system is open for Windows viruses just by installing
 wine. Typically wine has trouble running even legitimate programs made for
 Windows (since it still doesn't translate *all* features of Windows OS into
 Linux environment), let alone viruses which deliberately have dirty code and
 use quirks, bugs and holes of the Windows OS. Typically wine cannot emulate
 those bugs and holes so effectively as the original Windows :-) , so AFAIK
 viruses would typically fail to run under wine. Of course, YMMV. Also, you
 would need to be stupid enough to type wine my-favorite-virus.exe in the
 terminal to actually run the thing, I doubt it would run as automatically as
 in Windows... ;-) Then again, I might be wrong, I'm no expert on wine, just an
 occasional user.
Google Wine Virus and see what you get back.  Remember, Wine is designed 
to be run as a normal user and what you can reach, it can too.

However, work is ongoing to continuously improve Wine.

 From  man curl  this is the error condition you are experiencing.

 6  Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.

 I found one reference to someone solving this by the following, though
 it might have nothing to do with your problem.
 https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=threadtopic_id=27667forum=41post_id=113747

 Found it... believe it or not but Fedora requires the FQDN
 (hostname.domain) in my .repo config file for this to work. CentOS does
 not. Go figure.


Thanks for the reply. Looks like there was a problem with the mirror 
server. Update this morning went OK.

John

X server crashed in FC14

2010-12-02 Thread Abu Attar Musharih
Dear List,

I unistalled the Firefox-3.6.12 on FC14 and keep only the Opera. I
also unistalled the evolution which I never run it. Just after that
process, the X server crashed. The screen suddenly became dark.

Pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 was able to show the console which I could
re-login. Now I can not run X server anymore. If I reboot the box, it
does not show login window. it stops somewhere just before run level
3.  Only after pressing  CTRL+ALT+F2 can bring the console up. I
noticed that some commands of the gnome was missing from the /usr/bin,
also some gnome modules missing from the /usr/lib/.  I tried to copy
those from another FC14 box but this did not fix the problem.

Of course I can re-install FC14 again but I am sure that is not the
only way of fixing it.
Any kind of suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
AA

See chown: allows username and userid as new owner. So if a numerical
userid is the same as a username (having another userid), which user is
meant? The user with this username, or the user with this userid?

 
 So I guess 12345 should be a valid username as any other, and useradd 
 correctly allows for creation of such usernames. No bug there.

 
  Agreed - without knowing what the problems are it is hard to say that
 useradd (or anything else) should disallow numerical id's ..

 That happened to me with the F14-gnome Live CD, until I cleaned the CD
 with a little alcohol. The CD had previosly worked.

 This is a brand new burned CD. I guess it wouldn't hurt to check the 
 sha256 hash...

Turned out it WAS a bad burn after all. Hash didn't match - burned a 
new one - works just fine
Thanks!

 sudo useradd 123456789

 is not rejected!

 As is known, this leads to big problems if referring to such a user and
 the username differs from the userid: should such a username be
 interpreted as username or userid?

In Solaris, there are restrictions on the username. It has to start
with a letter, cannot start with a hyphen, and cannot contain a colon.
(There may be more restrictions; these are the ones that I remember.)

I've always assumed that Linux had the same restrictions but man 5
passwd on my F14 box yields nothing so I've just googled and the only
restriction that
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man5/passwd.5.html
sets is It should not contain capital letters.

 Appreciate any and all help ...

 How about Firefox-Tools-Add-ons-Plugins-IcedTea- Disable ?


If you have indeed removed the files from your system that is very
odd. It should not be there. Have you tried locateIcedTeaPlugin.so ?
Maybe its picking it up from some other non-standard path. Also a dumb
question, did you restart firefox after you made these changes?
