Winsync require LDAPS for password sync. This domain user needs some privileges in ad - modifying, read, write on the synced subtree. From ds point of view you configure normal user account for needs of sync with ad. This user doesn't need to be in your organization tree. You can place him in cn=config. I usually create account like cn=adsyncuser, cn=config without ocjectclasses providing normal system account attributes.

I would normally tell you to go with FC17 and not upgrade until it hit EOL and goes out of support. However, given the problems reported by a number of users in upgrading from FC17 to FC18, and the generally stable behavior I have seen from FC18, I would suggest going that way and avoid an upgrade and support issues. FC17 will lose support soon, FC18 is quite stable, the new FC19, like any new release, will have rough spots which may be tricky to fix. Lacking a reason to run the latest, run the most stable with some support life.

I personnally run Fedora on my work laptop, but if I were to administer the whole ~150 desktops of the company I wont use Fedora but CentOS. I tend to agree. However, if you're a place that's gotten used to having to regularly wipe and install Windows boxes, as many will do, then it's possible that having to restart with a newer version of Fedora once or twice a year may be just as palatable. But I'd definitely put servers on a long term OS, like CentOS, even if the clients use Fedora and are considered disposable machines. Though it can be easier to manage a system where they all run the same OS, so CentOS on them might be simplest. And with a longer term OS, like CentOS instead of Fedora, you're not going to suddenly face major annoying changes to how you use your computer, like how KDE 4 and Gnome 3 irritated the masses. If you're a place that has previously paid for Windows, then paying for RHEL ought to be similarly palatable. Again, you could use it for one or two machines, the one's your mostly likely to need technical support from Red Hat for, and the other basic client machines using the free CentOS. Though, if considering a paid OS, you have to consider whether the type of service you're going to be able to get is useful to you. Mention was made of having experienced security holes with Windows, so the concept of keeping a system up-to-date ought to be already accepted. Keeping on using *any* out-of-date system is a risk, some are easily demonstratively so, others are harder to show that there is an actual risk rather than just a theoretical one, but there's still a risk. Excellent summation Tim! As I said my problem was not what I wanted but what I could Sell to the Boss. One outstanding suggestion that came up in this discussion was Scientific Linux as the Supported by CERN could be a powerful selling point. That post had me doing the classic head thump D'Oh! I had forgotten about that release! Female involved in the decision chain has great respect and admiration for the work of CERN and their web page shows no hint of their relation to CentOS! That is a stable platform that I am certain I can get accepted. Boss taking a long weekend so I have plenty of time to work up the presentation. They don't have a connection to ContOS, they have a relationship to RHEL. Now there is a good/bad thing there, SL has some install changes which make it easy to maintain your own versions of packages, and not have your packages and the standard step on one another. From a flexibility standpoint that's good, but the install may be slightly different than RHEL. If you don't use the feature you don't care. Being able to say the CERN uses this to run their multi-$B hardware may make an impression. One last thought, I have moved many people to RHEL for desktop, people who want to use it for mail, news, browsing, RSS, IRC. People who want to work with docs and spreadsheets in MSFT formats. They just have no issues with what they use, minimal learning curve, file format compatible, etc. I have suggested using the seamonkey suite to most of them, some like having all their interfaces the same, like reading tweets as RSS feeds like mail, etc. About half have gone that way, they like it better than the Windows tools or figuring out the browser of the day. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Fedora vs CentOS -- php/apache and Drupal 7
Roger wrote: This is a call for understanding because of lack of knowledge. Apologies for the mix of issues in one message but they all relate to the same problem. Firstly, I've been reading the pro's and con's of RHEL and Fedora and am none the wiser. It seems to be around cost of service and lack or availability thereof. The beginning discussion was, I think on stability. It made me start thinking about Fedora vs CentOS because of the problems I'm experiencing with Drupal 7 and php/Apache in Fedora 18 so here goes. You need to make sure the Drupal and php versions are compatible. Actually the php and everything else, as my impression is that 5.4 is not a proper superset of earlier versions, a clear violation of Plauger's Law of Least Astonishment. I believe that the latest Apache updates of some time ago were flawed or do not correctly interact with php or php updates were flawed and have not been corrected. I have nothing to back up this assertion other than the problems now being experienced and a recommendation to remove php 5.4 and revert to an earlier version. Please don't quote me on this, It's what I've noticed, read and considered. What I said, but only the advice without the explanation. An upgrade to whatever is not working to match php would be better, but you do what you must. When I use Ruby on Rails I do not have issues because it uses WEBrick. Answered elsewhere. Discussion to date says that CentOS circa 6.n has the Fedora 14 kernel, is rock solid and gets updates every 6 months approx. Fedora 18 has kernel updates every few days or weeks at most. Frankly I enjoy the update cycle. It's interesting to see what gets improved. I have always run latest Fedora versions and have not experienced the current raft of problems. RHEL/CentOS/SL are not updated to new versions (with rare exceptions) but patched with back ported security fixes. THis gives stbility (they work the same) with security (the bugs stop being an issue). Fedora 18 sudo yum update, updates everything apps, modules, etc that needs security fixes or improvements. CentOS is a server system but can be used for a stable desktop system and has been recommended as an alternative. So what does CentOS 6.n desktop, yum update actually update or does it leave all the apps like cinnamon desktop, skype, gimp, apache, php, libreoffice, python, pulseaudio, gnome, Firefox or chrome as they are first installed, circa Fedora 14ish? One would think that this would leave significant vulnerability. If it runs the latest spate of updates then is it not little different from Fedora 18 but with an old kernel? It stays like Fedora14, old software now working as intended. Further reading implies that the better CentOS installation should be text based as a server only and that I should run all my work on the server not Fedora 18. I am now having significant problems with an already built Drupal 7 site on Fedora 18 after the latest spate of php updates and am perplexed as to what to do to get a quality stable functioning and stay functioning. I've got ubuntu 12.10 but it is now so slow that it's not easy to use. Further, I have 2 gig memory, intel mb, fast dual cpu, 250g hard drives and my desktop fedora 18 uses 55-63 percent memory. I thought this may be affecting php and apache, hence Drupal, but The Dell 1520 laptop has the same internals and memory and uses 25percent of the 2 gig memory, same drupal, same Ruby on Rails. I'm puzzled because after checking ps aux, top, and System Monitor on both they are very similar yet memory usage is markedly different. I do not know what I should be looking at to understand the issues and/or fixes. Depends on what you have run and are running, stuff will be in cache and buffers, that RAM is available rather than free. Read about caching if that isn't enough. Is there an app that I can use to track what happens in the browser, apache, php and Drupal when I start the Drupal site on my machine. Help is greatly appreciated The top program may shed some light, I don't think of anything off-hand which measures disk performance on a per-process basis. thanks in advance Roger Off Topic...Does anyone know of a Rails dev who would be able to help and teach me building a small application?

random reboot finally hits me
I've been seeing other f18 users talk about random reboots, and last night I finally had one as well. I'm not sure this 3.8 kernel should be called stable yet :-). I thought maybe all the scripts I have on cron downloading and transcoding programs from my TiVo overheated the CPU, but all the transcoding finished an hour or so before the system rebooted. Also, the reboot didn't work. When I turned on the TV I use as a monitor, the reboot was stuck at the Starting KDE login manager step (which is normally about the last thing it does), no GUI ever came up. (I wonder if the Intel video driver hung because the TV was off and it couldn't fetch EDID info?). Once I power cycled it, it booted up OK, but the only suspicious things I could find in any log files were chunks of NULL bytes laying around from when I power cycled the machine. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: OT: Linode doubling RAM
Thanks for putting this here. I'm bummed because I didn't know about this until I happened to come across the blog post. I checked with Linode and asked them if there was a way to send e-mail notifications out about such enhancements and they said no, but that one could set up RSS to do this. I went to https://ifttt.com/ and set up a rule that now e-mails me every time Linode has new news posted on their blog.

how to create iso9660 archive.
(fedora-18, all desktops) I would like to burn a single dvd with an ISO9660 - Rock Ridge - Joliet file made from: * /home/user1/project17/ * /home/user2/project17/ * /home/user2/.hidden/ Each of these directories has multiple levels of subdirectories. user1 and user2 each has other directories directly under his $HOME directory. I tried to use Brasero to do this. But the ISO file it created was a mere 71.7 KB, though these three directories contain over 600 MB of files. I get the impression that the tool only looked one level below what I dragged to the right side of the screen. I need it to go all the way down, like a cp -r. On my old Redhat 9 system, X-CD-Roast handled that beautifully. I also tried this with another tool whose name I now cannot now recall or find. It was worse. How do I do this with Fedora-18?

F18 livecd can't play wma files, and no mplayer
I booted Fedora 18 off a LiveCD, and want to play back wma files. So far, all my attempts have been unsuccesful. It's clear no wma playback codecs are included with the files. Plus, MPlayer, which usually plays back 'everything' is NOT included in the official repos, and if I try to install mplayer from ATRPMS, it gets a thousands (I'm exaggerating) dependencies and installation aborts. I tried looking around for a STATIC BUILD of mplayer, but that doesn't seem to exist (someone used to compile mplayer statically, many many years ago, but it seems there's no static builds of recent versions). Please, let me know of ANY -preferably tiny and NOT dependencies encumbered- player I can run on F18 from a LiveCD to play back wma files TIA FC -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto Revolucionario - George Orwell -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Connie is well respected by the Linux community but the fact that she is female means absolutely nothing and I cringed at the reference as it completely doesn't matter. There are some distinctive differences between the philosophies of CentOS and Scientific Linux and you probably should take some time to educate yourself on them as they do matter. CentOS tries to build all packages as closely as possible to RHEL - essentially striving for total binary compatibility which means not fixing bugs that are known to exist in RHEL but they do report the bugs to Red Hat. Scientific does not try to achieve binary compatibility and in fact makes conscious choices of changes - sometimes different compiling options for packages - fixing known bugs with their own developed code, etc. Scientific Linux has shorter support windows than RHEL or CentOS which may be significant too. Scientific Linux has paid staff to build packages whereas CentOS is strictly unpaid/volunteer packagers. They all exist to scratch a different itch. There are differences.

Re: how to make user account partially bi-lingual?
(Fedora-18; all desktops) ... How does root and/or the user set up his account so he always has these abilities? In effect, we want the account to be bi-lingual, with English as the primary language, and simplified Chinese being a secondary language. Thank-you in advance for your help. Bill. Ed Greshko answered: Run im-chooser and then select ibus as the input method. You'll then need to configure the input methods to add whatever method you want for Simplified Chinese. I'm pretty sure this gets you want you want since you seem most in need of inputting in Chinese. Viewing shouldn't be an issue. In addition to what Ed suggested, it was also needed to add simplified Chinese within the System Settings GUI under the user name in the upper right corner of the screen. I also wrestled with preferences in Konsole, Terminal, and XTerm. Things now seem to be fine in LibreOffice. I can create a new simplified Chinese or mixed file with vi(m). But... I imported from a Redhat 9 system many files created by vi and containing a mix of English and simplified Chinese. When I load any of those into vi(m) on the Fedora-18 system, the simplified Chinese is not displayed properly. I notice at the bottom of the Konsole/XTerm/Terminal, there is a message saying converted. I don't know if there's a connection. Both the message and the failure to properly display the simplified Chinese happen regardless of the simplified Chinese encoding that I choose in the terminal's preferences. Any ideas/suggestions anyone? thanks, Bill. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

That is a stable platform that I am certain I can get accepted. Boss taking a long weekend so I have plenty of time to work up the presentation. true, the scientific linux released by cern is a rhel clone, and a good one. please be aware tho, that it is more customized that the scientific linux released by fnal, ie, argon national labs out side of chicago, il. check these links to find out more; https://www.scientificlinux.org/ https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/ http://www.scientificlinux.org/news/ http://fermilinux.fnal.gov/documentation/ http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/docs/ i have been using the fnal release, 1st in list, for about years, just after the release of sl 5.0, and i can say that it has been a very stable and reliable linux. they have regular upgrade releases and security updates that usually follow within 24 hrs of what is released by rhel. i am aware of this because i subscribe to the list from rhsa-annou...@redhat.com, so i can get a full picture of what is happening. also, they recently extended the eol to 10 yrs. if you do decide to go with the fnal release, i would say that you are making a good choice, and much better than using centos. the support list is very good and there are at least 3 fnal maintainers that are regularly following and replying to the list. the rest of the support repliers are also very much familiar with sl. so, you should have very little trouble correcting any problems you might run into. if you should have any. over the past 6 years of using scientific linux, i have recommend it to many friends and clients, guessing to be well over 50. i had some clients that could not convert because of special software they used in their business. the others were able to move their data into similar linux software. of the friends who i have converted, there are only 2 who went back to oos. one because he had special programs that had no equivalent, other was because he was too lazy to learn a little bit about how to administer his system. he did admit to liking linux, but just did not care to learn a new os. this is all my opinion about linux and scientific linux, but it is based on what i have learned. cromix, a clone of bsd, was my first multi system, so i had little problems picking up on the difference of linux. from what i have read in your post, i doubt that you will have much trouble moving to linux and administering it. as for 'selling it', what has your boss got to worry about if she has you and you fully back up your current os before changing? ;-) much luck to you. -- in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc. hago. g . -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
