[389-users] inactivating some users after few days

2010-03-18 Thread ankush grover
Hi Friends,

I have installed and configured 1.26a2 on Centos 5 and now want to
implement  a new role/policy for inactivating of some user accounts
after few days like 30/45 days. The passwords of these users should
remain same rather their account get should get locked or disabled
something like 'usermode -e 2010-05-20 username' on a linux machine.
Is there any way I can do the same on 389?


Regards

Ankush

[389-users] Documentation for pam pass

2010-03-18 Thread Techie
Hello,

Does anyone know if there is more pam pass through documentation out
there. I see the FDS how to but it does not explain how to connect to
the other server.
I am trying to use my 389 server for authorization but OpenLDAP for
authentication.

Thank you

 Hi all
 I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4), but have a problem which 
 the Red Hat company does not support.  Since RHEL is a closely related 
 with Fedora, I would like to ask your favor.
 I need to install yum on my RHEL4 workstation.
 I installed yum2.0.7, which appears to be succeeding in.
 Then I conducted “yum check-update” but got error messages as follows;

 I understand that the URL may be wrong in the setting.  Even if so, I do 
 not know what is proper URL.
 Please tell me proper setting.

Exactly what are you trying to update via yum?  You can't update the
base packages of RHELv4 via yum since RH does not support yum at that
release level.  You need to use their up2date.  Additionally, RH
requires a subscription to update.  In RHELv5 yum is used instead of
up2date.  But, again, you need a subscription to update.

If you need the stability of RHEL, but don't/can't want to pay for a
subscription there is always the well known clone CentOS.

Re: Tell me proper URL for yum checking

2010-03-18 Thread Chris Kloiber
Yes, and what he told you is that there is no legal URL for a Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 4 yum repository. A Red Hat Network subscription (which 
uses up2date) is required. Now if you happen to have an RHN 
subscription, up2date can be coerced into using a third party yum 
repository. See /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources


If you don't have an RHN subscription, you can convert your RHEL4 to 
CentOS4 by replacing the redhat-release with centos-release (IIRC) then 
use the CentOS4 yum repositories.

No, I routinely use up2date to keep my RHEL4 machine up to date.

I know that.
However, I need to install another software,which require yum.
So, I have to install yum before the installation of the software.

What I need is the URL to solve the IOError:urlopen error.

I found the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.
I will try according the information.
 If you don't have an RHN subscription, 
I have an RHN subscription for RHEL4.

What I would do is

1.  Satisfy whatever prerequisites you can using up2date, since you
said you do have a rhn subscription.  Packages like httpd and subversion
are already available in RHELv4.

2.  If not all needed packages are available on RHN, I would then head
to
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4/i386/repoview/epel-release.html
download and install epel-release-4-9.noarch.rpm

3.  Use yum to install the remaining prerequisites.

KDE Plasmoid regressions?

2010-03-18 Thread Marko Vojinovic
Hi folks! :-)

I didn't ask about this since KDE 4.4.0 because I thought it was just
a temporary glitch or something, but now in 4.4.1 I see the same
thing, so it makes sense to ask:

(1) How do I switch the Digital Clock plasmoid from am/pm mode to 24hr
mode? How do I make Monday to be the first day of the week in the
calendar?

(2) How do I switch the System Monitor - Temperature plasmoid from the
Fahrenheit to Celsius mode?

(3) How do I adjust the colors of graphs in CPU and Network system
monitor plasmoids?

In KDE 4.3 I sort of remember I had all this set up right, but since
4.4.0 it reverted automatically to these weird defaults, while
appropriate options in plasmoids settings have been removed?! This is
happening on both F11 and F12.

Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks, :-)

Re: What is IP Address ::1 ?

2010-03-18 Thread Rick Stevens
On 3/17/10 7:03 PM, Jonathan Ryshpan wrote:
 Fetchmail produced a number of errors like:
  connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Connection

 These appeared to be caused by this /etc/hosts file:
  127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 
 localhost4.localdomain4
  ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 
 localhost6.localdomain6
 which has two possible resolutions for localhost, one of which, namely ::1,
 isn't recognized.  I attempted to fix things by eliminating the ::1
 line, to produce the hosts file:
  127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 
 localhost4.localdomain4
 But using this file causes mounts on /media to fail (in my case a
 detachable hard drive and a camera).
 Both problems are cured with this hosts file:
  127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 
 localhost4.localdomain4
  ::1 localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

 All this seems related to IPV6 configuration, but how isn't clear to me.
 Can anyone elucidate?  Should I file a bug against the
 original /etc/hosts ?

In explanation, ::1 is the IPV6 equivalent of the IPV4 127.0.0.1.  There is 
nothing
inherently wrong with having two IPs for a given host name (often done in DNS 
for DNS
round robin load balancing), although it's not often done mixing IPV4 and IPV6.

As to why stuff on /mount would fail, that should have nothing to do with 
networking,
unless the mounts are NFS or Samba mounts.

Hi,

check you standy/suspend options with xset -q after that

try system settings - Advanced - Power Management:

In general settings :
check Let PowerDevil manage screen powersaving
select Perfomance in the option when AC adaptor is plugged in

In edit profiles:
select Performance after that select screen tab
there activate Enable display power management
and change standby and/or suspend time options

Routing choice under user control per application instance?

2010-03-18 Thread S P Arif Sahari Wibowo
Hi!

I am wondering whether it is possible to choose TCP/IP routing 
for a specific instance of an application - chosen on user-level 
when the application is started?

More specifically I have a workstation with 2 Internet 
connections (different devices), and I would like to have some 
applications connecting to Internet using one connection while 
other applications connecting to Internet using the other 
connection, where I choose which application instance use which 
connection.

I control the whole workstation (root, hardware) so I can do 
whatever on the machine, but not the router / connection.

Any idea?

Thank you _ever_ so much for posting that.  I've been trying to figure out
why on earth my Comcast broadband connection kept getting stuck with 576
for the MTU.  The Comcast DHCP server must have been recalling that from
an old lease, because my FC-12 laptop would get an MTU of 1500 but my
FC-12 desktop kept getting 576 (connecting each directly to the modem).

Happy at MTU=1500 now.

From the jobulator FAQ (under What operating systems will Jobulator run
on?): Jobulator will also not run on Linux.

Jobulator needs Yahoo! Widgets installed in order to run. Yahoo! Widgets
is only available for Windows and MacOS.

Your only options are to either experiment with installation of Yahoo!
Widgets and jobulator under wine or just install VirtualBox and run a
virtual machine with windows. The latter option kind of defeats the
purpose of a widget.

I have not done what you are requesting.

I did an Internet search and came to the following conclusions:
1) You can mark packets using iptables.
   The marking can be based on type of traffic, ex: html, smtp, etc.

2) You then use ip routing to do what is called policy routing.
   You have multiple routing tables.
   The routing table to be used will be selected based on the marking.

I will suggest you look at the following URL and see if it helps you.

This URL is not for the faint of heart:
http://linux-ip.net/html/adv-multi-internet.html

The key overview to understand this URL is the summary near the top:
Quoting from the URL,
...Before beginning let's outline the process we are going to follow. 

  * Copy the main routing table to another routing table and set the
alternate default route [38]. 

  * Use iptables/ipchains to mark traffic with fwmark. 

  * Add a rule to the routing policy database. 

  * Test!

I have not personally done this.
I can't do much more than give you the URL reference.
You will need to determine if this as a possible solution for you.

Shared home directory and NIS

2010-03-18 Thread Wendell Nichols
I have access to several linux machines at work and they're all on a 
single nis domain.  My home dir is on an nfs mount and is the same for 
all machines.   I have xrdp installed on all of them but because the 
home dir is shared I find that the second session behaves badly.  
firefox wont start and any desktop that has log files fights with its 
counterpart on the other desktop.
Is there a way to overcome this?
I cannot change the nis and shared home dir setup...

This is a shortcoming of NFS in general.  If the NFS server supports
NLM locking, then the clients should be set up to mount your home
directory using NLM locks (in Linux parlance, adding lock to the
mount options).

This may or may not work, depending on whether the applications involved
use fcntl() or flock() to do locking (most Linux systems use fcntl()).
It can also be dangerous if the exported filesystem has mandatory
locking enabled.

You said you can't change shared home dir setup, so you may be SOL.
Sorry.

That site is for old kernels. Some stuff might still apply, but be careful.
