Maybe, but then this isn't what is causing the error, no? Also, memberOf is one way of implementing groups. That is a one-to-many record within the user record. If you don't have memberOf implemented within your LDAP, then you can have a group record that contains a list of userIDs. Wes On

Agreed. One sysadmin managing a score of mission-critical servers and a half dozen projects does not allow much time for one-offs and special cases. Over my 25 years of sysadmin experience, I've learned that the most efficient thing I can do as a sysadmin is to allow the package management

[rt-users] Why I am recommending 3.6 over 3.8 to my boss

2010-11-04 Thread Wes Modes
Dear Boss: I strongly recommend going with the 3.6 version of RT. The install takes a few minutes, and it otherwise meets all the requirements of our project. Migration of old queues is simple. There is cost savings in the near and long-term. There is no rpm of RT3.8 that works for RHEL

manager's fault if a software manufacturer such as Best Practical and its user community fail to create a package for the latest software. Compare that to software whose RPMs are kept relatively up-to-date. Wes On 11/2/2010 3:49 PM, Paul wrote: On 11/02/2010 02:19 PM, Wes Modes wrote: Hello, I

Hello, I have been struggling with attempts to install RT3.8 via RPMs. I know it is perfectly possible to install RT3.8 using the BP install scripts and docs, but I'd prefer to do it through yum for system sustainability, ease of updates and upgrades, etc. These instructions show how to set up
