It seems pam_ldap in 11.2 is not case insensitive anymore when it comes to checking usernames with uid from ldap.It is working fine on 11.1 though (both systems with latest updates up to now)(I didn't try 11.3 yet)On our ldap server (which is out of my control), the usernames are not unified, some are all in lowercase and some are capitalized, but on our Linux servers we have all usernames in lowercase.
Since our upgrade to 11.2, the users that their uid on ldap server does not match exactly to the username on Linux servers can not login anymore. Is there any option to change this behavior and force pam_ldap to be case-insensitive or convert uid/usernames to lowercase? or all of a sudden pam_ldap decided to become case sensitive!?
I do 'mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt'. Only an example. When I mount image, ls outputs john_smi.txt. So it has shorten to 8.3 and translated ' ' into '_'. This is in accordance with the manual, although it doesn't say the conversion will be done.

-iso-level level ......................... With all iso9660 levels from 1..3, all filenames are restricted to upper case letters, numbers and the underscore (_). ...........................
However, as it did not reject the file name, it should have converted it to all upper case, it seems to me. And -iso-level 2|3 does the same thing.
Code:
root@darkstar:~# mkisofs -iso-level 1 -o image John Smith.txt Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 0
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 When my cursor hovers over an icon for not more than a second, if that, the folder opens; it's the same with links. I barely have to touch Firefox, and it comes up. I'd like to be able to click on a folder rather than just pass over it. Surely there must be a setting that can be change
Running Lucid, has been a bit glitch here and there, but generally ok. I use Audacity a lot, so need "drag" with the mouse. Also "drag" on the desktop has gone totally now it just opens the file or folder. Any mouse control app that works? Using a ps2 led mouse, it works fine under wine/crossover apps.
I tried to add my wife , and when I put in a password for her, this error comes up."Please set a valid user name consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers." I did all that and I still can't set a password for her.
I am experimenting with attaching a second monitor to my Ubuntu Natty laptop, and I have noticed an annoying "feature" that makes any multi-monitor setup so unusable that I actually prefer my single-monitor laptop setup. It appears that the system automatically "scales" the X- and Y-axis sensitivity of the touchpad to match the dimensions of the "virtual" screen that spans across multiple monitors. This is best illustrated with an example. If I set up two monitors side-by-side, the touchpad's X-axis speed is doubled, so that moving my finger the same distance on the touchpad causes the mouse on the screen to move twice as far in the X direction as it did when I had only a single monitor. Yet the Y-axis sensitivity remains unchanged, so all diagonal mouse movements end up at the wrong angle. This makes the touchpad almost completely useless, since the mouse on the screen does not move in the same direction as my hand on the pad.
Is there anything I can do about this? I just want the X- and Y-axis speeds to be identical, and I definitely don't want my mouse sensitivity changing because I added a screen. The touchpad is a Synaptics touchpad, by the way. The laptop is a Dell M1330 with an nVidia graphics card.
The sort utility in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) always sort by case-insensitive, just like if you specify --ignore-case to it. The two sort just give the same result:
[Code]....
But sometimes I want to sort by case-sensitive, so the upper-case letters come first, then lower-case letter.
i am trying to set up a couple of pages in some special directories URL...but i need it that if they type URL... for them also to go to the site and not to a 404
I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
When my internet is slow & i try to open a web page then I get message in my firefox 3.6.3 that 'can't find server at www.website.com'. It isn't that URL is wrong but maybe connection to DNS server is slow or something similiar. I remember that wget tries 20 times by default to get the file (browsing is downloading+ decoding+ displaying).Does any web browser or addon tries repeatedly till it is successful in contacting website server? It can tell me 'trying nth attempt at www.website.com'
while learning to write bash scripts, i decided to write some script that, given an integer as input, will tell you the square root of that integer (provided the integer in question is a perfect square). i have already done on using primarily if statements and a while loop. i decided that using a case statement would be a lot simpler and i would be able to make the script more functional. here is what i have so far
[Code]....
i have tried all posible combos of using -ge or >= but i get pretty much the same thing. the idea is, for now, if the input is greater than or equal to 0 that it will echo test. can you do this sort of thing with case statements? or will it only work if i give it specific values like [1-9] (if this is the case then i dont think the case statement will work for what i want to do)
I am facing problem with the following script. Could you please look into this.echo 'Enter Staging number' case $STGNUM in
1) for i in {'stg1-greg','stg1-marsha','stg1-peter','stg1-jan','stg2-greg','stg2-marsha','stg2-peter','stg2-jan'};do echo $i; ssh $i sudo -u dev /opt/usr/apps/workflow/stopwf.sh;done;
How do I set case insensibility in searches running vim? I thought I could find this in the manual or the in browsing help within the program itself, but it was not long before I realized I was mistaken.
I'm rsync'ing a bunch of files between a Windows and a Linux system. Since not all Windows care about case, some of the files on the Windows system no longer have the same casing as they had on the Linux system. But rsync now treats these files as different and uploads a new copy.
Is there any inbuilt functionality in Unix shell script so that i can able to convert lower case string input to an upper case? I dont want to use high level languages like java,python or perl for doing the job.
What I want to achieve is, if I have following in my file: x y X z I should be able to find the pair, x Y and replace it with x a. So, basically I want to search for case sensitive 'x' but search and replace case insensitive 'y'. How should I do it? Can this be achieved with 'sed' command?
Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0 bash 3.1. I have several times tried to log into my linux box and have seen the password prompt written in upper case chars. Can this be caused by something located on the other side of my connexion? Or by malignous software resident in my hard disk?
