Re: [389-users] 389 = AD group sync
I'm testing group sync between 389ds and Microsoft AD. It works otherwise, but incremental updates are not working. Any changes to groups on 389 side do not get synced to AD unless I do a full manual update triggered via console. Syncing users works normally. Would someone have an idea why? Can you be more specific? Can you provide your winsync config and an example of what you are trying to do? Ah sorry, here is an example of a group I'm trying to sync: dn: cn=wingrouptemp,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com ntUniqueId: 9da16bd7236fb04285c419aefb9cb2a5 ntGroupCreateNewGroup: on objectClass: top objectClass: groupofuniquenames objectClass: ntgroup uniqueMember: uid=test1,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com uniqueMember: uid=test2,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com ntUserDomainId: wingrouptemp cn: wingrouptemp Sync agreement is set for ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com and has New Windows User Sync and New Windows Group Sync. -Matti -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users

Basically it just drops the longest substring that matches the given
pattern (match anything followed by two newlines). This does
potentially miss some edge cases if you can have strings containing
only a single leading or possibly trailing blank line. But you can
remove leading and trailing blank lines if necessary or come up with
something more clever. See the Parameter Expansion section of the
bash man page for the details of this and other frequently useful ways
to expand/modify variables.

freenx-server with xfce
I haven't setup nx in some time but with rhel it was trivial. With the default key or custom keys, I can't get it to accept a connection.

However, I would prefer to use what I have since it is installed and updated, if it can be made to work. Well First of all /nfs4exports doesn't take up any space. They are bind mounts which is analogous to symbolic links. I'll illustrate using my nfs server.

None of that space is reflected on the / partition which has only 16GB allocated and 11GB used. If you combine that with /opt only 17GB is being used by the OS. On the other hand, you have allocated 50GB to / and have used 49GB while /home is way under-utilized. I suspect you have non-OS data on the / partition which can be moved to /home. I would first start out by identifying what directory structure on / is using so much space. For example, you may have a /data directory that you've added which could be moved to /home. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Fedora evolves faster than printing schedules. any suggestions on how can stay educated? this list is the best I've found ... and depending on how much you want to drown there are other lists regarding beta, project direction, etc. my sense is all OS are evolving faster than print and once you gotten a handle on the OS from general books and test driving, the changes you need to know about will appear online in the various sites that are staying on top of that OS I stand to be corrected by anyone else if they see a problem with this sense -- 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 Have a question?

gary in that type of a situation you may want to consider backing up
your data and do a os reload installing only kde and not gnome. although
they both can go exsist with no issues but if you only want kde thats
what id suggest

Re: how to download F18 with rsync

Hovering mouse over rsync link doesn't show full path to iso. rsync -Pv rsync://mirror---/Fedora-18-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso . Depending on what file(s) you're using to start with (recent rpms? F17 Final? F18 Alpha?) rsync may not give a significant reduction in bandwidth, but the delta ISOs in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/deltaisos/Gold_releases/18-Beta/ will, if you're starting with either the F17 Final or F18 Alpha DVD ISO (of the same arch). Although it does require significant time to rebuild the ISO due to the use of delta RPMs (similar to yum-presto). -- 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 Have a question?
