Does anyone know how to get the autofs to use NIS maps to create mount points for NFS mounts? I see no reason to create a local /etc/auto.home just to add the line +auto.home. I am using CentOS 5.5.
What's really irking me is that I have 2 machines that work and others (freshly built) that don't and I haven't found the difference (yet)!
I need to setup a Linux Environment win NIS. The difference is that I want users homedirectory to be local to their machines and if users want / try to login on some other machine, his home directory should be mounted there. ie; different from what the conventional NIS setup where all users home directory will be physically located at NIS Master server (client-server model), I need it to be on each user's machine (peer2peer).

The CD has the files listed as .CAB files, and I have used "cabextract" to extract those files to a directory in Linux. When I use the "file" command, I get that the extracted files are "Microsoft WinCE install header, architecture independent, 10 files, 1 registry file". Do not need TTN5 running on the PC, just want it on the IPAQ. The maps will be on an SD card as is the TTN5 exe. Still get "no maps found" error from TT5 on IPAQ with all the files extracted from one region map put onto the SD card.

My question is between those commonly used three maps above, what are the difference between them and how do I know when to use one over the other? Can someone clearly explain them to me? Here's what I have in my 'main.cf' but honestly I couldn't tell you if they're correct or now:

I've been a Debian convert for several years now, and generally use the Iceweasel browser (currently 31.7.0) supplied in the Debian repo. I've noticed that since Google Maps added 3-D effects to its Street View interface, and changed things up a bit, that it siezes Iceweasel. You can't "drive" the streets without the screen hanging. I'm running Debian 8 AMD64, and the free Noveau drivers for a Radeon 7570 video chipset. And I duplicated the problem on another PC with an onboard Intel video chipset.
Here's what I attempting in debugging things:
1. Installed the latest Adobe flash (not sure this was necessary).
2. Tried using the non-free ATI drivers, but ran into issues and removed those.
3. Tried tinkering with about:config webgl settings -- but there's a number of those, and I didn't know the minimal number to tweak, so I reverted back to defaults.
4. And unless I'm simply missing something, the "Lite View" option for Google Maps seems to have recently disappeared.
So Google Maps Street View still wasn't working. Then I stumbled across some references to using "force=webgl" as an URL parm in Google Maps: [URL] ....
Out of curiosity then, thinking the issue is not at my end at all, I downloaded the User Agent Switcher for Iceweasel and changed my agent's response to the latest Firefox on Windows 8.1. Reloaded the Google Maps Street View, and bingo -- it works great. Google doesn't like Iceweasel because of that name in the user agent?
This is a klunky method of using Street View, and I have filed an issue with Google (but I give that about as much odds as writing one's congresscritter). Or is there some easier way to use Iceweasel with Google Maps Street View by making more about:config webgl tweaks?
how do i load/install Alien Arena maps??i downloaded the deathbox.zip from this site URL....
View 1 Replies View RelatedCentos 5.4 64bit fully updated. What I am doing is vsftpd is setup and nfs shares are mounted to a NAS server which is running openfiler 2.3 fully updated. openfiler is winbind to AD and pulling users and groups over.
I have it confirmed working when a ftp users connects the username/password is authenticated against AD which works. User can login and is directed to the users folder on the nfs share.
Openfiler shows me UID and GID numbers for users and groups, centos also shows me UID and GID but they are different which is causing permissions/quota's to not work right.
Both servers are setup with krb and winbind, openfiler has a more recent version of winbind.
Here is an example...
AD Users are
user UID of 160010 as an example
user1 UID 160011
When user logs into the vsftp server it works and chrooted into the directory for that user. When user uploads files I can upload but the UID in the ftp client shows 1600011 which is user1 UID
logging into windows to that share shows in the security tab that user1 uploaded the files.
Centos is mapping user as 160011
openfiler is mapping user as 160010
windows is showing the user1 in the security tab.
So it appears that centos is not mapping the right numbers to the right users and groups.
If you need details please ask for it and I will provide.
Both configs are nearly a match and I have made small changes to the config files smb.conf but it failed resolve these issues to work so I reverted back. kinit works with authentication, getent works, wbinfo -a and -u works. wbinfo -u user shows different results on both servers, but authentication works user/password and I tried a different password to test.
Is this a known bug or a silly misconfiguration? I had authentication GUI tool configure the winbind stuff so its all fairly standard on the centos machine and the openfiler gui configure winbind configs.
what i'm trying to do is create some distance between sets of child nodes in my freemind maps. See the attached png file to see what im getting at. Is there a way to do this, other than using clouds?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've setup postfix using mysql tables and all works except for sending to an alias. The mysql logs show that postfix is only looking at the mailbox table for where to deliver the mail for the alias. However it is not looking in the virtual alias maps table. There are no complaints from postfix on startup to indicate that there is anything wrong, and if I send to a virtual domain listed as a relay on the server it does look up the virtual alias table... even though the domain is not hosted on the server....
So the question I have is where to look next? The mysql log shows the expected lookups from postfix EXCEPT for the virtual alias map queries.... why would it not be checking the table? Since it is not looking up the virtual alias it bounces the addresses back to sender complaining that the user doesn't exist... It does deliver to a virtal mailbox, however again it never checks the vitual alias table.... so it only delivers since there's a mailbox for it rather than needing an alias...

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu system is occasionally becoming very sluggish. I'm running many things simultaneously and it's very difficult to tell which program is the culprit.
I suspect that the sluggishness is due to disk activity since the CPU usage is consistently under 50% on each of the 4 cores of the CPU, and over 30% of the 6GB of RAM are free.
Is there a tool that can show me in real time the number of disk IO operations per second and the amount of data read/written per second? Can all this info be broken down and displayed per process?

I'm using my Linux (SLES 10) server as a File Server at this point. I need to set File Permissions to nested folders differently to different groups. For example:
homesharedengineering* should be read only for groupA
homesharedengineeringadmin should be read & write for groupB Plus read only for groupA
homesharedengineeringautocad should be read & write for groupC Plus read only for groupA
I've been using Webmin and Putty to set permissions but Putty only allows me the Default Group, it won't allow me to set several groups on the same directory. Webmin seems to allow me to add multiple groups (Webmin --> Others --> File Manager --> Info & ACL tab will provide extended abilities) but when I add multiple groups, they don't seem to take effect? I'm wondering if my setup at the 'Share' level or at the hierarchy of my folder structure (unix based) needs to be set specifically?

View 1 Replies View RelatedII'm a front-end web developer, I've always developed on Windows with technologies like XHTML, CSS, Javascript and Flash, I've dabbled with PHP and MySQL. I am well used to Windows workflows and tools, from Photoshop to Notepad++, Filezilla and WAMP server stacks to After Effects, and a swathe more - but always on Windows.I'm at a point where I think I need to start seriously developing on a Linux box, specifically at the moment to create web apps based on Node.js, but compiling tools and programs has become a task I'm more frequently required to do.
My question? I need to get my hands on a user-friendly install of Linux, but which one? I need common interface developer tools (lists welcome) to replace... well as many tools I have on Windows as possible.I need to be readily connected to the internet, I need OS updates to not destroy my workflow by crashing the OS, as I've seen Ubuntu do to various friends. I want efficiency, I need to be able to customise what I need to in order to perform development tasks.I guess this could be a long list, but - I don't have practical working knowledge of the Linux OS, nor how it "compares" to Windows (excuse my faux pas). I'm obviously willing to learn, but I'm far, far more keen to just... continue interface development, just on Linux instead of Windows.
A friend of mine helped me set up a server which includes Squirrel Mail.It?s CentOS 5.3.I have a person who would like to access Squirrel Mail at remote sites.My questions is, I can create an account on the server which has KDE and the usual general applications and he would have the remote access Squirrel Mail but he doesn?t need nor does he want to access KDE or anything else on my server. He just want an account so he can use Squirrel Mail.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the impression that not that many people understand the scope and limitations of GNU General Public License. This is somehow my basic understanding of it. If I take a program covered under the GNU license, first of all I have the right to get the source code. Second, I can modify it at will. Third, I can redistribute it as will too but the new code will necessarily will have the same GNU license. This made me wonder how people actually can charge for software derived from Linux, for instance, Red Hat. Well, my impression is that they really make profit only out of services. In this thread [URL] I think I found a lot of confusion, even from a moderator (not intended to offend). Red Hat is based on Linux and it is necessarily covered under GNU. Somebody probably bought the program from RHE and can make it available at no cost.
Nevertheless, the moderator decided to warn the user. In this article [URL] it says the following:"Our training is not designed to promote vendor lock-in. Though these courses are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the source code for [RHEL] is available to the community via the GPL [GNU General Public License]," said Red Hat spokewoman Leigh Day. This thread [URL] shows yet more confused people. Is there is a glitch in this type of license that prevents programs like RHEL to be redistributed for free? Why their license page doesn't mention GNU license? Or the problem is just that people get overwhelmed by this license and are afraid to be penalized and get paralyzed? By the way, RHEL is just the example. The key question is about the license!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is the general opinion of the Mandriva and Debian distros? Mainly asking what kind of user you consider the distro to be for (beginners, advanced, total newb, whatever), and whether you think they offer as much to an extremely experienced user as they would to a newb.Those are my two favorite distros, and I really like Mandriva a lot. I'm trying to pick one to stick with throughout, but I'm not really sure if Mandriva is too automated and Windows-user oriented like Ubuntu (I haven't really delved into the deeper aspects of Linux so I have zero experience in this area now). This might sound a little elitist but I don't want to be using Mandriva and just be automatically dismissed as a newb on first impression just because I'm using Mandriva (although admittedly I am a bit of a newb at the moment, I don't plan on staying one).
