kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed
The latest version of Opera claims to be faster by taking advantage of shared X memory if I set the sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed. I don't like to change sysctls from their default settings unless I understand the consequences. I've been unable to find a manpage that describes this setting. The description Enable/Disable attachment to attached segments marked for removal sounds a bit frightening to me. Would anyone care to comment on the effects and risks of changing this setting on a private desktop machine? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The drop is more likely coincidence than anything else, although you may have blocked things to the point where they don't get logged anymore. These breakin attempts are bots. While I don't know for sure, I seriously doubt that botnet gathering crooks discuss with each other which machines they've already broken and thus don't attempt to break them a second time. I don't expect the drop off is related. Personally, I just had 3 such attempts last night, compared to none over the course of several days. It's just a matter of how busy the botnet people are on any given day. You should install/run samhain or something similar to monitor activity so you know if something unauthorized has changed.

I find Ubuntu to be a great distro if your goal is to get a great open-source desktop system up and running quickly, that is easy to update (albeit not with the latest available applications) and relatively bug-free. If you yourself are not able to spend hands-on time maintaining the system (i.e. for aging parents, in-laws, non-techie friends) it is a good choice. Their use of Debian's apt technology is brilliant. Their user/developer community is wonderful. If, however, heart-stopping speed appeals to you, you want intelligently planned technology with the latest stable applications, you are operating web servers, or you just plain want to get expertise in real Unix then there is nothing like FreeBSD. Merely by living with FreeBSD for a year or two on your desktop or laptop, you will really deepen your understanding of unix-derived systems in a way which is not possible with Linux.

I'd check auth-log and the output of last(1) if that says something, but you can never be sure. So I'd say just be happy, that they stopped trying, but don't give up the regular maintainence so that your system be as secure as it can be. :) Oh, and you can try port-knocking as well to secure the sshd port.

If you are hacked, then something might or might not be going on your system (check for unusual stuff, like rise in number of processes, or disk usage, or network traffic, and think about it). You know how your system behave on day to day, do you? Nevertheless generally speaking, 99.99% of these brute attempts to get ssh access is coming from various zombies, blindly trying out port 22, that's why the port change is usual advice. There are easier ways on how to get inside than just bruteforcing via login credentials wild guessing. For example take unsecured web server with some full-of-bugs content management system.

gimp: install conflicts
FreeBSD-6.2 I have a question regarding gimp-devel, the meta-port for Gimp. This port installs both: graphics/gimp-app which has this in its Makefile: CONFLICTS= gimp-1.* gimpshop-[0-9]* gimp-app-devel-[0-9]* And graphics/gimp-app-devel Whose Makefile contains this notation: CONFLICTS= gimp-1.* gimp-app-[0-9]* Using portmanager to install gimp-devel results in the following files being installed: === gimp-app-2.3.15,1 /graphics/gimp-app-devel MISSING dependency of gimp-devel-2.3,2 /graphics/gimp-devel gutenprint-base-5.1.0_1 /print/gutenprint-base MISSING dependency of gimp-gutenprint-5.1.0 /print/gimp-gutenprint gimp-app-2.2.13_2,1 /graphics/gimp-app MISSING dependency of gimp-gutenprint-5.1.0 /print/gimp-gutenprint gutenprint-ijs-5.1.0/print/gutenprint-ijs MISSING dependency of gutenprint-5.1_1 /print/gutenprint gutenprint-5.1_1/print/gutenprint MISSING dependency of gimp-gutenprint-5.1.0 /print/gimp-gutenprint gimp-gutenprint-5.1.0 /print/gimp-gutenprint MISSING dependency of gimp-devel-2.3,2 /graphics/gimp-devel gimp-devel-2.3,2/graphics/gimp-devel MISSING gimp-devel-2.3,2 /graphics/gimp-devel The problem is that there appears to be a conflict between the two versions of gimp-app being installed. Is this correct, or am I reading this incorrectly? If I try to update these files, portmanager will complain about the conflict, although it does not do so on the initial installation. I can supply a copy of the build log if anyone wants it. -- White Hat [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Samba and mountd spin
I recently removed a lot (!!!) of packages from my 6.2-STABLE system as I no longer wanted to use it for a desktop, but still wanted it to be my home server. When I rebooted it yesterday for nonrelated reasons, it hung on the Samba startup. Further testing shows that whenever I try to run it's rc.d script, smbd and mountd fight for 100% of the CPU. Honestly, I don't have any idea where to even start looking for this problem. I'm currently running portupgrade -Rf samba just in case I inadvertently removed some critical library, but is there anything else I might look for?Î Kirk Strauser ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can read the text of the CDDL at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php Section 3.1 of the CDDL is the portion which is essentially equivalent to the GPL. It basically states that you have to provide the source code for the stuff that already is under CDDL license if you distribute binaries and you have to keep the CDDL license for all the code that is already under CDDL license. I'm no lawyer but I don't see where this is as viral as GPL. The viral part is limited to the already CDDL licensed source. Example: You create a binary from two source files. 1. one BSD one CDDL. If you distribute this binary, you have to provide the CDDL part (and all modifications to it) as source under CDDL license. You are not required to provide the source of the BSD part. 2. one BSD one GPL. If you distribute the binary, you have to provide the source of both files (and I think you even have to do that under GPL). That is because GPL requires that all work descended from it falls under GPL too and all binaries that include GPL code require the distribution of the source. Thats why it is called viral. So CDDL does not require to license add-ons under CDDL, GPL does. In this terms, FreeBSD is basically an add-on to the ZFS module ;-). greetings, philipp ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some steps may help you: 1. load linux.ko -- kernel part of linuxulator. 2. install linux base port (don't remember which one was with 4.6.x, but try linux_base-8 then linux_base) -- user land part of linuxulator; 3. brand the binary file (not a library or else!). Here is the background problem, bullet point style: - I unfortunately had a hosted jailed virtual server running FreeBSD 4.6.2 get broken into via a user account with a weak password. The intruder installed at least two binaries: /tmp/ /miro (almost certainly a rootkit/backdoor) and /home/$hackeduser/ /psybnc/psybnc (an IRC proxy). (Yes, this is a creaky old OS; I've been letting it sit dormant/mostly-unused and this is the price I pay for my lax sysadminning.) - The hosts were kind enough to provide me with a dump of the jailed server; I've now got a fairly minimal install of 4.6.2-RELEASE running under QEMU and, inside that, a jail for the image from the hosting providers. - The 'psybnc' binary definitely ran on the hosted virtual server; it creates a log file and its timestamp contents were recent. I don't know if the 'miro' rootkit was successful or not. I'm crossing my fingers that it wasn't, and trying to investigate a bit what it does. kldstat on the hosted server didn't show any compatibility files up. (In particular, no ' linux.ko'; I have loaded that module on the qemu version to see if I could get further.) - In my qemu freeBSD, under the jail, neither program runs either as root or as the hacked user: - $HOME/ /psybnc/psybnc 'ELF binary type 0 not known.' (note: this is with 'linux.ko' loaded) That means that this (linux?) file is not branded. You may test it with 'brandelf the_file'. The (binary!) file should be branded as 'Linux' to let the FreeBSD system run the file with linuxulator: # brandelf -t Linux the_file - /tmp/ /miro--- ELF interpreter /compat/linux/lib/ld- linux.so.2 not found That means that userland (linux base port from ports is not installed). - /tmp/ /miro, If I unload linux.ko : 'ELF binary type 0 not known. - Oddly, both have the exact same (except for offsets) elf headers: - readelf -h /tmp/ /miro - ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF32 Data: 2's complement, little endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI:UNIX - System V Should be 'UNIX - Linux' so that FreeBSD recognises it and run with the linuxulator.

They all share at least one of three things in common: 1) Not patched up to date 2) Incorrectly (or not at all) configured 3) Weak or default passwords Those three things are the cause of almost every breakin I've seen. The first is by far the greatest reason for breakins. The second and third are less frequently but still often the case. It is not at all uncommon to find a box running unpatched and unconfigured services that its owner had no idea were running. If you have any of the above conditions, then you have something to be concerned about. If you don't, then the reduction in attacks is most likely pure coincidence. If you don't want your computer broken into: 1) Keep it patched and up to date at *all* times. Eternal vigilance is the watchword. 2) Disable *and* remove all services you do not intend to run. Don't install a program if you aren't going to be using it. 3) If you want to play around with something, configure it to respond to localhost *only* or restrict access to known IP addresses. 4) *Always* change default passwords and *never* use weak passwords.

I find Ubuntu to be a great distro if your goal is to get a great open-source desktop system up and running quickly, that is easy to update (albeit not with the latest available applications) and relatively bug-free. If you yourself are not able to spend hands-on time maintaining the system (i.e. for aging parents, in-laws, non-techie friends) it is a good choice. Their use of Debian's apt technology is brilliant. Their user/developer community is wonderful. If, however, heart-stopping speed appeals to you, you want intelligently planned technology with the latest stable applications, you are operating web servers, or you just plain want to get expertise in real Unix then there is nothing like FreeBSD. Merely by living with FreeBSD for a year or two on your desktop or laptop, you will really deepen your understanding of unix-derived systems in a way which is not possible with Linux. This may be very helpful if you either have or contemplate a career in IT. Paul Butler My personal take on Ubuntu is that it was a wise decision by some to market the Linux distro to disenchanted Windows users -- by having KDE be the default DE it makes people feel more at home than having to choose something like, say, Enlightenment, Fluxbox, FVWM2, or good old TWM. The problem is that it's aimed primarily at people trying to test out Linux and transition from Windows, and in many cases tends to choose the best option for you, in terms of partitioning your disk, running certain apps, etc from what I've heard and read from others, which is bad for power users. Also, it's Linux-based so documentation in terms of manpages are most likely non-existent, like with Gentoo Linux. Just as a followup to the subject line: I like FreeBSD because of its solid nature and good system architecture.

I find Ubuntu to be a great distro if your goal is to get a great open-source desktop system up and running quickly, that is easy to update (albeit not with the latest available applications) and relatively bug-free. If you yourself are not able to spend hands-on time maintaining the system (i.e. for aging parents, in-laws, non-techie friends) it is a good choice. Their use of Debian's apt technology is brilliant. Their user/developer community is wonderful. If, however, heart-stopping speed appeals to you, you want intelligently planned technology with the latest stable applications, you are operating web servers, or you just plain want to get expertise in real Unix then there is nothing like FreeBSD. Merely by living with FreeBSD for a year or two on your desktop or laptop, you will really deepen your understanding of unix-derived systems in a way which is not possible with Linux. This may be very helpful if you either have or contemplate a career in IT. Paul Butler My personal take on Ubuntu is that it was a wise decision by some to market the Linux distro to disenchanted Windows users -- by having KDE be the default DE it makes people feel more at home than having to choose something like, say, Enlightenment, Fluxbox, FVWM2, or good old TWM. The problem is that it's aimed primarily at people trying to test out Linux and transition from Windows, and in many cases tends to choose the best option for you, in terms of partitioning your disk, running certain apps, etc from what I've heard and read from others, which is bad for power users. Also, it's Linux-based so documentation in terms of manpages are most likely non-existent, like with Gentoo Linux. Just as a followup to the subject line: I like FreeBSD because of its solid nature and good system architecture. Cheers, -Garrett Actually - Ubuntu's default isn't KDE, it's Gnome. Kubuntu is what you want if you prefer the K environment - however, that's not to say that if you install Ubuntu, you can't install KDE (or XFCE4 - that happens to be Xubuntu). -- Best regards, Chris BOFH excuse #158: Defunct processes ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Server Load
Hi all, Last week I enabled DEFLATE in apache. I have since disabled it, due to it (I think), sotting the serever load sky high. Since disableing it, the server load has not decreased by much, but I have narrowed it down to Apache (2.2) or mysqld that is shooting the load up. The high server loads started last Monday morning, and continued all week.(up and down through the days and nights). I was wondering if anyone knows of a way (or a utility) that can monitor apache and mysql at the domain level to help troublshoot where the root problem lies.

People also complain that there aren't enough offerings in terms of packages, but that's a resources issue from what I understand. As for enough packages . . . if you mean software in general, in the ports tree, I'd find it pretty difficult to complain. There's only one Linux distribution with more software in its archives than in the FreeBSD ports tree (Debian, of course), and it's only about a fifteen percent increase in available software last I checked. Considering FreeBSD offers something more like a 500% increase over Fedora (again, last I checked), I don't have a lot of problems of software availability with FreeBSD. Is there a significant difference in available software between ports and packages? Is that the problem? True. That's the one reason why I had no problem completely leaving Redhat 2 years back :). As for the complaints about packages, it's probably just the compile times and the fact that many users like the fact that they could install and setup a complete system in the approximately same amount of time as a Redhat based system (15mins ~ 1.5 hours, depending on the options and computing resources available -- assuming you have a decent internet connection :)..). In fact, despite the greater number of packages in Debian's archives, I find that in practice I find what I actually want/need more often in FreeBSD's ports tree. That is, of course, highly subjective. Well, yes and that's subjective, like you've said. Overall though, I do like FreeBSD's ports system better than I do debian's apt-get system :). Having to shuffle through all of those menus and pages package listings to install stuff was a pain. One thing I prefer about APT over FreeBSD's ports tree is the greater ease and flexibility of searching for what I need. The apt-cache search command is great. I'm also a little confused by the failure of whereis to return expected results when I'm looking for a specific port. These are things I can work around, however -- unlike some of the things that have blown up in my face when using APT. Most likely because you're still using (t)csh and (t)csh needs to run rehash in order to see newly installed ports / applications. There's always (a)sh in the base system, and bash available in ports (shells/bash). I personally prefer bash to tcsh, but that's my deal. -Garrett ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To me, this is where Ubuntu (I can't speak for other Linux distros) is the clear winner over FreeBSD on the desktop. Ubuntu is near out-of-the-box when it comes to media (audio/video/etc) of any sort. Sure, there are a few steps to get it all to gel - but once you enter a few lines (or if you prefer point-n-click) - you never have to worry about media working again (trust me, I used to keep a Windows box just to do the things I mentioned). Again - I'm talking about a desktop use. I have used Ubuntu server (both i386 and sparc) and FreeBSD is still my fav. however, Ubuntu (for installing LAMP) is nearly even w/FreeBSD. To me, apt-get is certainly cleaner and superior to portupgrade/portmanager. Perhaps someday either or will be as reliable as apt-get.

If, however, heart-stopping speed appeals to you, you want intelligently planned technology with the latest stable applications, you are operating web servers, or you just plain want to get expertise in real Unix then there is nothing like FreeBSD. Merely by living with FreeBSD for a year or two on your desktop or laptop, you will really deepen your understanding of unix-derived systems in a way which is not possible with Linux. This may be very helpful if you either have or contemplate a career in IT. I note that Paul mentioned IT not a Unix System Administration. So consider the following as my rant. There seems to be no entity which offers *entry level* Unix System Administration position to those not already living in immediate surrounding area (even if one is willing to relocate (at one's own expense)). And Junior positions require near 3 years of Unix or Linux *paid* experience. In my experience, the Unix knowledge experience gained by using FreeBSD (despite the number of years using it) on a machine connected to Internet -- but not actively taking part in LAN-y things like internal DNS, file- and backup/restore server, heterogeneous computing environment, etc. -- can help only for non-system administration positions. If by help you mean help you get hired, I agree -- unfortunately. Speaking in terms of skills, on the other hand, I have to disagree. For instance, my first year of using Debian as my primary desktop OS made me a far better MS Windows admin than I ever had been before, despite my certifications, education, and experience with MS Windows networks prior to that point. I suppose that learning more OSes can make one a far better admin in the OSes one already knew, in a manner similar to the way learning Haskell, Lisp, or Smalltalk can make one a better C, Java, or Perl programmer. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Ben Franklin: As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It is my understanding that the device.hints will wire down the device (i.e. /dev/sa# or in my case /dev/da#).

I then plugged in a USD card reader and rebooted. This forced the optical drives to 4-0-0 and 4-1-0. I thought about this for awhile and looked at dmesg again.

Perhaps I have been leading you on a wild goose chase. I have re-read all of your posts and I now understand that you want to wire down bus, target and unit. It is my understanding that the device.hints will wire down the device (i.e. /dev/sa# or in my case /dev/da#). I played around with my system with the external firewire drive and as long as I have the lines in device.hints the 0-0-0 is reserved for the drive whether it is plugged in or not. The optical drives remained at 2-0-0 and 2-1-0. I then plugged in a USB thumb drive and rebooted. This forced the optical drives from 2-0-0 and 2-1-0 to 3-0-0 3-1-0 respectively. I then plugged in a USD card reader and rebooted. This forced the optical drives to 4-0-0 and 4-1-0. I thought about this for awhile and looked at dmesg again. I then edited /boot/device.hints as follows ### Wire down external hd to da0### hint.scbus.0.at=sbp0 hint.da.0.at=scbus0 hint.da.0.target=0 hint.da.0.unit=0 hint.scbus.1.at=ata1 #optical drives on the second ata cable. hint.cd.0.at=scbus1 hint.cd.0.target=0 hint.cd.0.unit=0 hint.cd.1.at=scbus1 hint.cd.1.target=1 hint.cd.1.unit=0 this forced the optical drives back to 1-0-0 and 1-1-0 no matter what other devices are plugged in.

Sure, and no this doesn't require an additional variable.
If my sed'ing is correct (I usually do regular expressions with Perl),
the expression should be:
sed -e 'm/^\s+.+createTimeStamp:.+\s+createTimeStamp: (.+)/\s{number of
preceding required spaces}createTimeStamp: \1/g';
I'd be sure to test out the expression though first before replacing any
files.
My reference for the text replace was:

comma in number replace reference).

can't print to disk from Firefox
I got an error when trying to print *to disk* from Firefox/1.5.0.6: Printer Error There was a problem printing because the paper size you specified is not supported by your printer. This message makes no sense at all when printing to disk, since there's no way for it to know what kind of printer I'll eventually send the file to. I am using the only available printer selection, PostScript/default, and the first paper selection in the list, letterSize (8.5x11 inch); and that size is certainly available on the printer I intend to use (which is elsewhere, hence the need to print to disk). There is no default paper size selection. I really don't care what paper size it formats the page for -- that can be fixed later if necessary. It is the content, not the formatting, that is important. It eventually fixed itself after much fumbling and several retries, but I have no idea what fixed it and I suppose it will probably unfix itself at some inconvenient time in the future.

Recompiling the vim port for gui capability
Hi, I recently updated some of my ports (due to the fact that I now have a high speed connection to the Internet at home). One of the ports I updated was vim. I used portupgrade -r vim_port_name and let it do its thing. All went well, but now gvim no longer exists. When I was try to execute it, I get, E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time. I've built vim at work simply from the source code from vim.org and I know how to build for GUI support. However, I'm not very familiar with the BSD make or the ports making process and couldn't find a clean way of defining, or in this case preventing the definition of, .if defined(NO_GUI) WITHOUT_X11=yes .endif I took this from /usr/ports/editors/vim/Makefile. How do I manipulate the ports build process to recompile vim with GUI support? I would rather use vim/gvim than any other editor and without GUI support, it's quite lame. By the way, after reading the response to my post about how to get portupgrade back, I went to look through the /usr/ports/UPGRADING file for vim notes. However, the only thing I found concerning vim was something to with vim-part, or something similar to that, with respect to the KDE distribution. There was nothing about the actual VIM port.

One of the most important reasons why I like FreeBSD is the quality of the documentation. I find it rather appaling that running man mv on Debian shows a warning in the SEE ALSO section: % SEE ALSO % The full documentation for mv is maintained as a Texinfo % manual. If the info and mv programs are properly installed % at your site, the command % % info mv % % should give you access to the complete manual. What is amusing is that exactly the same warning is displayed when one runs 'info mv' :P The full documentation of mv(1) *is* available as an Info page, but it is not where the manpage points the user. By lurking at the FreeBSD cvs-commit lists, while I was a BSD newbie, I noticed source changes being rolled back because their documentation was not ready yet. I saw BSD people demanding than manpages are updated after a source commit, and dozens of merges from HEAD to one of the STABLE branches which treated manpages as first class citizens of the source tree, and not some entertaining but always out-of-date pariah. - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The KDE CD burner is also easier to use. But the Gnome Terminal is much more intuitive than the KDE write of xterm. (blah, [bar] :) (I find that I have tons of KDE games, and I'm not rreally a gamer. No, I haven't a clue where the games came from.) gary Im the same way - I have a mix of Gnome/KDE items. Ubuntu by default is Gnome - that's not to say you can't install KDE and or other WM. Kbuntu is your KDE install whereas Xubuntu is the XFCE4 install - again, you are free to install any part of any WM you want to use by enabling Universe and Multiverse and by using Synamptic Package Manager. The file you need to edit for Multiverse and Universe is /etc/apt/sources.list - Uncomment then run the above app and you'll be able to pick and choose. Also keep in mind, you DON't need to install all of KDE to run a few apps. Under FBSD, I run XFCE4 - and I seem to recall that you needed to ensure a fair amount of KDE needed to be installed before the fact. If you're serious about Ubuntu etc, I'll gladly lend you what I have learned off list. -- Best regards, Chris Available while quantities last. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's by no means universal among Linux distributions. Debian actually provides better manpage coverage than FreeBSD, for instance.

I like the comment in there about Stallman liking infopages but Debian-ites having to create a manpage :). I personally hate infopages, but that's me. You're not the only one who destest those bleeping info-type writeups. Forward and BAckwards make sense; but then what is Up/Down? And a yup on the outdated docs too. There is a seriously K00L music app (Gnome), but the documentation was way out of date in '06. ((But then, I'd much rather code 1,000 lines that write just a few ages of docs, so, I understand the problem. Code you can *read* and figure out. Different with even good docs.

Re: [OT] can sed handle this situation? (might require variable)
Darn, forgot to copy to the dear list; so here it is (sent to OP
previously) ...

Dear list. I could not find a mailing list about 'sed' (there is
an very inactive Yahoo Group though) so I wish to try some luck
here.
Try, comp.unix.misc newsgroup.
I've got a situation that looks like require using variable and
not possible to process with sed. But I am not sure. Can someone
suggest me if this task is out of scope of sed?
Try some variation of what Garret suggested if sed is the
requirement and skip rest of the message.
The input document is sections of data separated by an empty new
line
...
dn: uid=ABB,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: ABB
ahkCreateTimeStamp: 1996032800Z
creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
createTimestamp: 20060425094550Z
dn: uid=paulblome,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: paulblome
sn: Blome
createTimestamp: 20060417071950Z
modifiersName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
modifyTimestamp: 20060630094026Z
The above sample showed two sections in input data. It's required to
process the data in following rule:
if a data section has ahkCreateTimeStamp: abc, replace it
with createTimestamp: abc and remove the original
createTimestamp: def line;
That is, the result data of above sample should be:
dn: uid=ABB,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: ABB
createTimestamp: 1996032800Z
creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=ahk,dc=de
dn: uid=paulblome,ou=contacts,ou=china,dc=ahk,dc=de
uid: paulblome
