Re: [389-users] REPLICATION ISSUE CONSUMER TO CONSUMER !!!!

2011-01-04 Thread Gerrard Geldenhuis
Hi Amit,
What part of the replication between Server2 and Server3 is not working?

Can you share some logs and how you have set it up, does doing a manual sync 
again between Server2 and server3 work? How about a manual send updates? What 
error messages are you seeing in the logs?

Regards

Hi Friends,

I have below setup :

Server 1 -Active Directory
Server2-Directory Server Consumer to Server1 and replication working fine
Server 3-Dedicated Consumer  to Sever2.Replication agreement from Server2 to 
Server 3. Sync option Always keep directories in sync.

So the issue is :
Automatic replication from Server1 to Server2 working.
On manual consumer initialization replication from Server2 to Server3 successful
Automatic Server2 and Server3 replication not happening


Have anyone else faces the same issue.

Conky troubles

2011-01-04 Thread Suvayu Ali
Hi everyone,

For a few months now I have been unable to run conky with XFCE. Earlier
the following configuration used to work without any problems:

background yes
...
own_window yes
own_window_class Conky
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes

But since a few months back this stopped working. I like to have it
displayed on all desktops overlayed translucently on the wallpaper, so
I tried the options desktop and override. With override I don't get any
display at all, with desktop I get a display but it goes away the
moment I click on the desktop.

I have tried running conky with or without the daemonize/background
option with no avail. Anyone has any ideas about what could be the
problem here?

TIA

That's what I was looking for.  That warning indicates (AFAIK) that your

glibc prevents it from looking up IPv4 records when the DNS servers 
listed in resolv.conf don't support IPv6.

racoon works only in one way

2011-01-04 Thread Luc MAIGNAN
Hi,

I use racoon to establish an IPSEC tunnel between a fedora box and a router.

The tunnel is mounted.

Both my fedora and network behind the router can ping each other

The network behind the router can use the tunnel to ssh my fedora

But my fedora isn't able to ssh the network behind the router.

IPTRAF shows me that packets come correctly from the opposite side, but 
ssh doesn't seem to receive them.


What can happen ?

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

suppose the input data are saved in the file x.
Then this little command line could help:

 perl -e 'while () {/thing|hello/  print}'x

resp. create an executable file thing.pl with 2 lines

#!/usr/bin/perl
while () {/thing|hello/  print}

and call

thing.pl x
or
cat x|./thing.pl

This is you needed?

  Only: So far the connection always fails, and it does not give me

password was wrong, or whether something else was misconfigured. Is
there a way to get any such details from NetworkManager?

Very likely not. As I understand it, he wants a Perl script to filter

It doesn't need a Perl guru to program something like that, but it's
a little bit of an exercize for somebody who wants to start programming

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  while () {
if (m|\[XYZ]| .. m|\[/XYZ]|) {
  next if m|\[/?XYZ]|;

 As for LVM it sits on top of all the physical volumes(that the kernel
 sees, /dev/sdX or in short the whatever you can list with fdisk -l).
 So the decision to use LVM is solely dependent on how flexible you
 want your disk partitioning setup to be.

 This would be to have the ability to resize partitions more easily,
 correct? Is there really any benefit to doing this on a system with a
 fixed number of disks?

Well it all depends on how you intend to use your workstation. For
example if your work involves using multiple distros or OSs then
partitioning flexibility provided by LVM might be very beneficial. Or
maybe if you use lots of virtual machines, then again a flexible disk
management scheme might be helpful.

On the other hand if your use case is more like, install once and work
on one stable platform then you might find the flexibility features
provided by LVM redundant. It is entirely dependent upon how you are
going to use your workstation. It would be unwise to recommend
anything without knowing the details of how you intend to work.

However if you ask my personal opinion in a general scenario, I find
having LVM on drives with lots of data more sensible. You never know
when you might need to alter your partitioning scheme. Without LVM
those situations might be difficult to deal with. In any case I don't
see any performance issues because of LVM. But then, I'm not a power
user either. ;)

  I believe you'll need to fix that like so:

  # semanage fcontext -a -t user_home_t /var/lib/amanda/.*
  # restorecon -r /var/lib/amanda
 No This would probably cause amanda to break then. Does labeling .ssh as
 ssh_home_t solve the problem?

Now that you mention it, no.  (Sorry, I sang your praises a bit too soon

The messages on the client side (before and after the relabeling):

And the full sealert:

*  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests

If you believe that sshd should be allowed search access on the
amanda directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /usr/sbin/sshd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M
mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

So it looks like /var/lib/amanda is the problem, not the .ssh
subdirectory.  /var/lib/amanda's label is:

drwxr-xr-x. amandabackup disk
system_u:object_r:amanda_var_lib_t:s0 /var/lib/amanda/

PEBCAK and frustrated stupidity still exists -- be warned!

2011-01-04 Thread William Case
This note is just to get some frustration off my chest and to remind the
Fedora community that stupidity can reign no matter how smart you might
think you are.

Just did a virgin Fedora 14 reinstall after completely screwing up my
operating system because I thought I had a failing disk drive.  The one
that has all my backups.  Compounding my problems by losing grub and my
WindowsXP partition.

After spending more than a day working on it, and a couple of calls to
my vendor, my solutions got more and more inventive until I managed to
just about blow the whole machine up.

Only then, in my frustration, did I think to take the side panel off my
computer, jiggle the cables to the harddrive, remove the cable and
reattach it.  Fixed everything.  Now I am busy trying to get everything
back to the way I like.

No reply necessary.  Just thought someone else might be in the throws of
some frustrated, non-thinking stupidity and might need a warning to
stop, take a breath, indulge in the sin of your choice and think before
doing any more damage.  Particularly, try to keep screwdrivers out of
your hands at times like these.

I know you might say, I have been there, done that.  Even bought the
T-shirt.  But PEBAK continues exist in the best of families.

the PRE tag forces a fixed pitch font with a wrap at the end of line.
Without the PRE tag, the font defaults to the browser default (probably
serif) and it wraps to fit the browser width.

uses it when it runs when the system is coming up. (i.e. after a shutdown -F
)

I don't know where to set these sorts of environment variables...
/etc/profile.d/* seems to be too late. I tried /etc/sysconfig/init but I
don't think that had the desired effect, or my value of 1 was not meaningful
to fsck the man pages say only that the environment variable affects
fsck, it doesn't say that variable needs a specific value.

Where are env variables set if you want them to affect processes that bring
the system up, such as these FSCK_* variables?

Thanks

[389-users] Can't access auto.master directory entries in console

2011-01-04 Thread Orion Poplawski
In 389-console, my auto.master folder entry does not appear on the left pane 
so I can't edit the entries in it.  It does appear as a folder icon on the 
right.  Any ideas why this would be?  File a bug?

run 389-console -D 9 -f console.log then send console.log (you will

I'm assuming you mean in the directory browser.  First step would be to 
run the console using 389-console -D 9 -f console.log then post the 
console.log (first obscure any sensitive information).  Also check the 
directory server access log to see what searches it is performing.

I think this is due to the fact that I did not push out the correct 
version of 389-adminutil - you should be using 1.1.13 - try doing a
yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing 389-adminutil
this should be available from stable in a couple of days

 Hi

 I am trying to setup a test environment where each database should
 contain multiple suffixes. I have 6 organizations:

 - o=a1,dc=org,dc=net
 - o=a2,dc=org,dc=net
 - o=b1,dc=org,dc=net
 - o=b2,dc=org,dc=net
 - o=c1,dc=org,dc=net
 - o=c2,dc=org,dc=net

 a1 and a2, should belong to userRoot,
It doesn't work that way.  You would have to do something like this:
o=a,dc=org,dc=net - belongs to userRoot
o=a1,o=a,dc=org,dc=net
o=a2,o=a,dc=org,dc=net

If you really want multiple suffixes under dc=org,dc=net that belong to 
multiple databases, you will have to write an entry distribution plugin 
to distribute the entries among your suffixes.
 which is mastered in server1,
 b1 and b2 should belog to database px02, which is mastered in server2,
 and so with c1 and c2. Is this possible to do? I am trying to do it,
 creating a new sub-suffix b1, allowing the console to autocreate
 database px02. Then I create a new sub-suffix b2, without creating any
 database. Then, i try to assing the database px02 previously created,
 but i get an error in the console, and in the logs: ERROR: backend
 px_02 is already pointed to by a mapping tree node.  Only one mapping
 tree node can point to a backend, so I think this is not possible.
 Any ideas?

I am very new to the 389-ds.   I have spent the last few days attempting 
to get samba up an running with 389-ds with ldap in ssl.  or fefora-ds using
ldap not a whole lot of luck there.  In your case try adding -ZZ to your 
command i.e.


ldapsearch -x  -ZZ -b o=netscaperoot -D cn=Directory Manager -w 
password objectclass=nsAdminConfig


You might get more descriptive response.

Im attaching to shell scripts you my or may not find useful.  If you 
cannot get into your with the 389-console you may be able use

the scripts to talk to you server.

These shells were referenced  from a link I found

  There's always WINE but it can be very hit or miss. Another option

  Do you know where the instructions to do this are available?

 There's to many ways to make a complete list here with instructions,
 but I personally use VirtualBox[1]. It's relatively easy to setup and
 the performance is pretty good on modern hardware. They have a yum
 repository to make installation[2] and updates easy.

 The link is for version 3.2 but just replace 3.2 in the install
 instructions with 4.0 to get the latest released version. I haven't
 installed on a clean system for a while so I assume it pulls in
 kernel-headers and kernel-devel when you install. If not you'll need
 to install those packages as well. It needs them to build the kernel
 module.

This is contradictory. If it's OT then it's unrelated to the theme of

 Or, install the control-center package, and find this setting in 
 System→Windows
 
 

That seems to fail if Desktop Effects are enabled:

Cannot start the preferences application for your window manager

Window manager compiz has not registered a configuration tool

So try turning Desktop Effects off, changing the setting, and turning it
back on.

Interesting Evolution Issue

2011-01-04 Thread Frank Tanner
After I upgraded to Fedora 14 from Fedora 13, an issue has cropped up
with my Address Book, I am hoping that someone has seen.

I exported my configuration from the old one and imported it into the
new one.  When I click on two of my three address books that I have I
get the following error message:

Unable to open Address Book
This address book cannot be opened.  This either means that the
incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable.
Detailed error message: Invalid source

The two address books that give this error worked fine in the version of
Evolution that was in Fedora 13.

Can anyone think of what caused this error and/or how to resolve it?

THank you.

I am experiencing this as well, and have not yet been able to resolve
it, although I did track down the files.  I am unwilling to edit them
until I am sure I can recover any missteps.

I had a thread on configuration errors that you can look up if you want
the file locations (I don't have that in front of me now.)

Not if you are using compiz you won't. And you mean:
System-Peferences- Windows 
which gives you an error if you are running the compiz .

 Do you mean control-center-extra? If so, watch this:
 
 $ rpm --query --obsoletes control-center
 control-center-extra  1:2.30.3-3
 $ cat /etc/fedora-release 
 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)
 $
All you have shown is that control-center-extras is obsolete in F14. It
appeared in previous fedora versions as the link above discusses.

I've added information to the bug (which I originally filed).  You can 
add yourself to the CC list if you have an account.  I looked at this 
once before and wasn't able to reach any conclusion.  I'll try again to 
make sense of glibc's code.

Hmmm -- you may have to drop out of compiz into metacity, set this option, 
then switch it back. But it does work in compiz. I don't recall ever having 
to twiddle config changes manually. In CompizConfig I have Gnome 
Compatibility enabled -- that may be the trick to getting compiz to honor 
this config setting.

Re: Partitioning questions

2011-01-04 Thread Alex
Hi,

 raid cannot be partitioned. lvm _is_ partitioning.

 That's somewhat misleading, I think.  As I interpret what I do to create
 software RAIDs with Fedora:

  1. Partitioning is something that you do to a raw disk.

Or a RAID array when setting up LVM on top of it, correct?

  3. Partitions or RAID devices can contain filesystems or LVM
 physical volumes.

Yes, which is what I believe I added above.

So on a system where there will never be any disks added or partitions
resized, is the extra complexity (abstraction) worthwhile?

How about recovering from a disk failure? Does this layer above RAID
complicate the process of rebuilding an array?

Thanks,
Alex

Website in a box?

2011-01-04 Thread Alex
Hi,

I have an FC14 x86_64 install, and would like to find a basic
application for some friends that will provide a simple web presence,
including a simple blogging features and a photo gallery.

Should I just install wordpress and gallery, or is there something
that's better and more integrated, and easy for a novice to use?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

I'm not sure if this matters but evolution switched to using the latest
XDG standards[1] for file locations in 2.32. Your user data is now no
longer in .evolution, rather its in .config/evolution. The new version
should automatically move files to the new location iirc. 

OR:

You can use gconf-editor to see the settings for the address book. iirc,
the source etc. are specified there. I had some trouble after a back up
and restore, making some changes to the gconf files fixed it. Do back up
your gconf settings before you go tweaking (~/.gconf/apps/evolution). 

You should also skim the evolution bug reports to see if this is a known
issue. 

Regards,
Ankur
