Yes. How do you configure clients to be more selective when doing searches against a ldap directory. It depends entirely on the software doing the query. Here's an example from one of my Apache HTTPd configs : AuthLDAPURL ldap://server/ou=People,dc=franceix,dc=net?uid??(|(gidNumber=1)(gidNumber=11000)) Thanks, I have addded the following filters for PAM in /etc/ldap.conf nss_base_passwd ou=people,dc=mycompany?sub nss_base_group ou=Groups,dc=mycompany?sub nss_base_group ou=PrivateGroups,dc=mycompany?sub nss_base_group ou=SystemGroups,dc=mycompany?sub It works kind of but what I don't understand is that when a client authenticates against the directory server I see a ldapsearch request in wireshark for every single user. I am not sure if this a misconfiguration on my side or if PAM_LDAP is being greedy/lazy/buggy or where else the problem lies. I see a succesfull result for every ldap search request in LDAP so I am not sure why every user would need to be queried if only one user needs to authenticate. We use a seperate user to speak to the Directory specified in /etc/ldap.conf. I am not sure if that would make a difference. binddn uid=SysAuth,ou=Service Accounts,dc=mycompany Any thoughts would be appreciated and suggestions for a nice tool to analyze LDAP conversations would be much appreciated.

Thanks! I little bit more searching have revealed the following settings which I would like to try: 3.1.1.85. nsslapd-outbound-ldap-io-timeout This attribute limits the I/O wait time for all outbound LDAP connections. The default is 30 milliseconds (5 minutes). A value of 0 means that the server does not impose a limit on I/O wait time. 4.5.2.8. nsConnectionLife This attribute specifies connection lifetime. Connections between the database link and the remote server can be kept open for an unspecified time or closed after a specific period of time. It is faster to keep the connections open, but it uses more resources. When the value is 0 and a list of failover servers is provided in the nsFarmServerURL attribute, the main server is never contacted after failover to the alternate server. 4.5.2.9. nsOperationConnectionsLimit This attribute shows the maximum number of LDAP connections the database link establishes with the remote server. What is not perfectly clear to me though is does this apply to all connections other masters, consumers and clients?

Re: su or sudo su?
I have to disagree with sudo su - is stupid. If it serves a purpose (as it does for me and others I work with) then I don't see it as being stupid. Can I use su -, sure I can but then I have to remember roots password (do I know it yes, am I allowed to work as root, yes) but I almost always start working as my regular user and it's far easier and quicker for me to do sudo su - (and enter my password) then it is to use su - ( and try to hunt down the root password, we probably have hundreds of different root passwords depending on which system it is and who admins it ). I regularly change my password and that password makes sense to me. With multiple admins all choosing their own root passwords and frequently changing them (to things that make sense to them but not necessarily me) I find it more useful to use sudo su -. This also helps when the admin recently changes roots password and forgets it or had caps lock on or some other goofy thing (I know, this never happens to admins ;-)). If sudo su - (using a user password was not allowed) then you'd have to undoubtedly bring the system down and reset the root password. It also helps when for instance you have to do something like fdisk where sudo fdisk will normally get sudo: fdisk: command not found and you have to use sudo /sbin/fdisk. I suppose if sudo su - asks for roots password (Defaults targetpw in sudoers for instance ) like opensuse seems to do, I might consider that stupid but it probably is there for a reason and someone finds it useful.

Is there any solution for manage multi domain zone file ?
For example (original):

};
zone 123.com {
type master;
file 123.com.db;
};
zone 1.com {
type master;
file 1.com.db;
};
Now, can it to be :
/etc/named.conf :
include /home/dnaadmin/*.conf
/home/dnaadmin/abc_com.conf :
zone abc.com {
type master;
file abc.com.db;
};
/home/dnaadmin/123_com.conf :
zone 123.com {
type master;
file 123.com.db;
};
/home/dnaadmin/1_com.conf :
zone 1.com {
type master;
file 1.com.db;
};
Thanks !

Come to think of it, at least lilo had a good reason to make you run extra commands, grub2 only has idiotic design decisions as a reason. I don't think that once grub2 is production-ready in Fedora that extra commands'll have to be run when a kernel is installed or uninstalled. Also, in grub1, grubby edits /boot/grub/grub.conf when a new kernel is installed so grub1's behavior isn't that different from grub2's. But it is: /boot/grub/grub.conf is the one and only place where grub config is stored so if you edit it by hand, unless you do something that horribly confuses grubby, you will not have your changes destroyed by grubby. Until /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the one and only place where config information is stored in grub2, it will be inferior to grub (no matter how many millions of loadable modules it comes with :-). /etc/default/grub is meant to be the only grub2 file to edit. Unfortunately, there aren't enough options available (as we've both listed earlier in this thread). Before I gave up on getting everything to be as I wanted, I used to edit /etc/default/grub, most of the scripts in /etc/grub.d, and /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig...

Initially, it actually ran quite well on my 2.5-year old system. The only glitch seemed to be that the audio would cut out if the system got too bogged down. (I would also get errors in /var/log/messages about pulseaudio's ratelimit kicking in.) I could go to the Sound options and change the sound output device to another in the list and that would magically restore the sound for awhile. Still, that got annoying, so I tried to fix it. Somehow, I made it much worse; now, everything is going much more slowly. I had to turn all the performance options to low, and I still only get a few frames per second. And I have no sound. Now that's really annoying! I'm not sure what I did, aside from a tip I found to get pulseaudio to run with higher priority by adding my account to some groups. I had installed tuned, but that seemed to kill performance, so I uninstalled it. I think that at least partially the problem is still rooted in pulseaudio. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? Aside from wine, I haven't had any problems with audio (like playing music) in a long time.

If it does, there are settings you have in your dot files that are causing the lackluster performance. Since I do not know all the dot files of starcraft, pulseaudio and wine, I guess you have to do some searching. -- 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

Re: Installing Openshot video editor

Cross-repository dependencies are a big no-no. No package in Fedora depends on packages in a third party repository. P.S. kdenlive also uses mlt. Oh well... I installed it remotely from work so I'll try it out tonight. I looked at kdenlive's website and it looks like a good program but probably more powerful than I need for basic editing of family videos.

Re: config multi zone problem
On Tue, 2010-10-19 at 23:28 +0800, Edward S.P. Leong wrote:
Is there any solution for manage multi domain zone file ?
Your example isn't clear what's multi-domain about a zone file. You
don't appear to be using one zone file for multiple domains, more like
multiple configuration files, one for each domain (which does look
perfectly feasible, to me).
What are you actually trying to do? (Rather than how are you trying to
do it.)
For example (original):
/etc/named.conf :
zone abc.com {
type master;
file abc.com.db;
};
...[snip]... The usual fare, a conf file listing several different
files for the records for different domains. One domain per file.
Looks fine.
Now, can it to be :
/etc/named.conf :
include /home/dnaadmin/*.conf
/home/dnaadmin/abc_com.conf :
zone abc.com {
type master;
file abc.com.db;
};
...[snip]... More of the above, with each record having separate .conf
files, as well. Also looks do-able, but...
I see problems, here. You're, most likely, going to have SELinux issues
for trying to put things in /home. There are various sub-directories
inside /var/named for putting multiple files. The right (expected) ones
should be used.
However, once you've sorted out where to put all these files, or killed
off SELinux (which I advise against). The file parameter of the
record points to the full file path of where the record will be (from
the DNS server's point of view of where / begins - it's chrooted,
usually). Without a path, they're expected in the DNS server's root, as
the direction option in named.conf specifies; and with a path, in a
sub-directory.
Traditionally, you had:
/etc/named.conf
/var/named/ (zone record files went in here)
The chrooted BIND puts them all inside:
/var/named/chroot/ (the / for BIND)
So, its:
/etc/named.conf is in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
/var/named/zonefiles are in /var/named/chroot/zonefiles
And you have some data and slaves sub-directories inside named/ that
can hold records, too (zone files).
For what it's worth, chrooting isn't necessary with a personal computer,
where nobody else is going to be able to get in and change things, but
is a good idea when others have access. Whether you chroot will depend
on whether you're playing or doing...

I've got a linear editing suite with tape decks and a Pinnacle Aladdin for DVE (once in a blue moon, we still fire it up); in 1999, we acquired a DPS Velocity NLE - it was ~$20 with the computer, the boardset, the dual CRT's and the big Sony NTSC reference monitor; I never looked back. I now also have Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere workstations - the latter don't compare to the SD Velocity, but they can handle all the new formats including HD, which our aging Velocity can't. The Velocity could mix two tracks of video with DVE transitions, plus two tracks of graphics, be they pics or titles or whatever, including moving video, all in real, real time, with full raster display on a big NTSC monitor. The HD workstations didn't come close to this performance till just recently. Now, they are getting very close...

X can't run at full monitor res, but plymouth/rhgb can?
This one is very interesting. I relocated my LCD monitor whose native resolution is 1920x1080. The video card is NV GTX 285, that outputs through a DVI port. The monitor has both a DVI and a D-SUB VGA plugs. With either the standard DVI cable, or a standard VGA cable hooked up through a DVI-VGA adapter, everything works fine. After I relocated the monitor, and attached a 35' long VGA cable via the DVI-VGA adapter, the X desktop, and only the X desktop, now comes up with an ugly maximum resolution of 1024x768. system-config-display gives me that as the max available resolution. But here's the WTF: At system boot, plymouth comes up without any issues at 1920x1080, spinning the solar theme over the VGA cable. But as soon as plymouth finishes its thing, and X takes over, X refuses to go beyond 1024x768. However, if I flip to an alternative ALT-VTx, the alternative system console display runs at 1920x1080. Only X is having a cow here.

Re: flush kernel thread pops up every 10 seconds or so on FC13 and video decoding grinds to a halt for 1/2 a second
More data: this happens about every 5-20 seconds. It's a hexacore machine. We tried Fedora 14 beta but still seeing the glitch in the decoding when flush runs every 5-20 seconds. Any suggestions?

A friend of mine was doing real-time video decoding on Fedora Core 13 and he had a performance glitch (1/2 a second freeze) every 5-10 seconds. top showed flush-253:0 process at the moment of the freeze. Major device number 253 corresponds to device-mapper. I advised my friend to re-install his FC13 without LVM, to see if the glitch is related to LVM. After re-installing FC13 without LVM, he is seeing the glitch every 10 seconds, and it shows flush-8:16 where before it said flush-253:0. 8 is scsi disk driver. So it's not an LVM thing... maybe a kernel thing? I suggested he try Fedora 14 beta, as it has a newer kernel. Maybe this kernel thing is fixed in the newer kernel. BTW, he also tried CentOS 5.5, and saw a pdflush process popping up with the same frequency, and resulting in a similar glitch. Any other suggestions?

Kmess massive Faliure
Attention!! Kmess 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 are having massive faliures all around the world, at least in this week I've noticed other 4 faliure cases beside mine here at México in different distributions, different architechtures and different desktop enviroments. For the moment I'm using emesene, but this kind of faliure seems very strange.

Re: Wine, pulseaudio, Starcraft problems
To follow up, I did manage to get wine to use alsa (it's important to install the i686 packages as well as x86_64), but it's still running very slowly for me. So I have sound in the game but still just a few ( 5) frames per second. I'm pretty sure pulseaudio is out of the equation now, so I'm not sure what else could be wrong. Even with alsa, the audio is a little choppy. At least it's playable and the sound never cuts out. (It's the same with a different account, by the way.) Thanks for the ideas.

I have to always kill pulseaudio so I can get some response back. Actually not answering your question, but just wanted to confirm this problem on my system (2.6.32.21-168.fc12.i686). I often have to do the same! In my opinion 'flash' is an ugly thing. And, to be honest, I'm the one among those whom to blame for its wide usage. I was working nearly for 5 years as a part-time teacher at school, teaching schoolboys to use flash in web-projects. Now I do not know how to atone for my sins :-) Looking forward for html5 video support in FireFox. Hope it became video-standard some day... But pulseaudio is not part of the flash plugin from Adobe. It is a separate Fedora released package. Flash, which has finished playing and the Firefox tab in whichit played is killed, does not explain why pulseaudio continue to eat 40% of cpu, probably in tight do nothing loop. Try strace -p pid-of-pulseaudio, maybe it will show something.
