Openldap broke my PDC+Mail Server

klabacita — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:46:42 GMT

Hi my friends.

I was running world +revdep-rebuild, this process reinstall and install some packages, one of them was openldap(2.4.19)

dev-perl/perl-ldap-0.39 (0)
[I--] [ ] dev-python/python-ldap-2.3.9 (0)
[I--] [ ] net-nds/openldap-2.4.19 (0)
[I--] [ ] net-nds/smbldap-tools-0.9.4-r1 (0)
[I--] [ ] sys-auth/nss_ldap-258 (0)
[I--] [ ] sys-auth/pam_ldap-183 (0)

After this my PDC with samba start doing nasty things, I lost Users ID maps, example, this is the home folder:

drwx------ 4 1001 users 4096 Apr 27 2007 X
drwx------ 4 522 users 4096 Apr 27 2007 Y
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 2007 Z

The folders rights now appear as numbers not the username as before.

If I try to add a user to my domain:

smbldap-useradd -m -a W
Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd line 204, line 466.

This is the line:

$userGroupSID = $group_entry->get_value('sambaSID');

I still have some libraries pointing to 2.3, looks like is because for compatibility.

If I try to change a user folder:

chown X:"Domain Users" again, the system just put the UID numbers.

I can get user data from ldap:

getent passwd | grep X
pmoreno:x:603:100:XX:/home/X:/bin/bash
root:x:0:0:root,,,X,:/home/root:/bin/false

Nos lets see what happen in a centos client:

smbclient //DFD-server/pro -U W
Password:
Domain=[DOM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
[root#sdsdds ~]# smbclient //DFD-server/pro -U W

and in the same machine:

getent passwd | grep W
W:x:10026:513:W W:/home/W:/bin/bash

The issue we have with the mail server for example, with some users it say that the folder doesn't have the right UID/GID as u read before, the folder does only show me the UID/GUI in numbers, in this case the home folder of that users have his UID/GID number.

Is very strange this, someone could point me where could be the issue and how to fixit? Do I have to switch back to 2.3?

Thanks !!

Lan card

guferr — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:20:50 GMT

Hi all, i need i a little help:
I have an old computer that don`t have usb ports and don`t support LAN cards with RJ5 connector, only support old cards and its not compatible with my modem, so i have a idea: i`ll create a script that communicate with the card driver and with the modem to make the same processes the card make, so the card driver will communicate with a script that communicate with the modem.
But i have 2 problems:
first one is that i can`t find any datasheet of any card anywhere, i searched on google and in datasheets sites, but i didn`t found it, so, if anyone know about one datasheet of one Lan card please say me, and, the another problem is how to control the serial port using C, i mean, how to know wich port is wich pin on the serial port.
Tanks

Gentoo RAID 10 Performance

Aquarius2009 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:52:42 GMT

Hello Everyone,

Here is my result and my best score so far :) so feel free to share yours achievements ;).

Funny part is that this is seen via Putty:
localhost ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 2384 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1192.11 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 750 MB in 3.00 seconds = 249.67 MB/sec

and this is seen via terminal console:
localhost ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 2398 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1198.53 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 748 MB in 3.00 seconds = 249.14 MB/sec

same PC same drive :)

Kind regards

emerge gentoo-sources stalling i686 machine at applying 4400

frank56 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:13:00 GMT

emerge gentoo-sources stalling again at

"Applying 4400_alpha-sysct1-uac.patch (-po+ ) ...". how long should I let this run? I let it run for about 4 hours last night, then forced shutdown ( forgot there was a proper way of doing this). Might this take two days or more..I have an athlon 1.2 gig and and Dsl connection. Frank

TOP reporting rm command at the top.

cpu usage varying form 20 % to 70%, memory total 514552k used 508330k
swap ok on all columns with 405824k cached.

Tasks 62 total, 2 running none stopped. dont know if that helps troubleshooting.

How do you terminate a program in gentoo?

frank56 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:11:08 GMT

Sometimes, my installation from minimal install cd stalls at a particular step. Is there a way i can kill or shutdown that program or step and going back to a previous step?
I know I can run TOP and see what programs are running. But dont know how to kill or end one program without shutting down computer. Frank

How can you save your install progess in gentoo?

frank56 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:24:40 GMT

Is there a way of saving your progress in a Gentoo install, I hate to have to start all over with each restart. Frank

Question on Pappy Seed

frank56 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:49:49 GMT

While I am waiting for a response from Gentoo. I will be using sysresd to build a Pappy seed. I have the lspci -n and cpinfo printed for my machine. What I dont know is how to get through next step.. cd /usr/src-2.6.30-gentoo-r8. I untarred both stage3 and portage in this machine but its hanging up when it loading drivers. So I assume the kernel source must be there somewhere. I am opened to othe suggestions that will get gentoo up and running. Frank

not able to install libflashplayer.so into my browser

hemi_426 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:10:25 GMT

hi everybody

my problem is i cant get youtube or whatever flash videos to run inside my
browser ( Opera ).

im on freeBSD, and i've installed flashplayer4.x.x from the ports collection but they
didn't work either.

i went into adobe flash website to download the current package wich is flashplayer
10 in a tar.gz file. and whenever i try to decompress the file i get a broken
"libflashplayer.so" file. without the install-sh file they talk about in the other threads
i red.

i downloaded a good "libflashplayer.so" of flashplayer_v6 and tried to make "opera"
the browser to take it from the preferences but "NO" it seems like the file is not
ready yet to be recognized by the "opera".

they've also mentioned "nswrapper" but i couldnt get it from the ports.
AND I"VE HAD IT.

please help, thank you
