Server :: Uppercase Usernames In / Etc / Sudoers Triggers Warnings

Jan 6, 2010

We're syncing users from Active Directory over to our linux LDAP server (Red Hat Directory Server). The user names on the AD side are all written in uppcase letters, which is the company policy.The uppername usernames causes problems when setting up /etc/sudoers, since uppercase words are interpreted as aliases. For example, if I add user KENNETH to a User_Alias (i.e. something like "User_Alias ADMINS = KENNETH"), I will get a warning from visudo which expects KENNETH to be an alias and thus not a username. Despite the warning, sudo does seem to work correctly. But is there a way to tell visudo or sudo that usernames are uppercase, and should not trigger a warning? Or are there other ways to go about this sort of thing?

CentOS 5 Server :: Vsftp Server With Usernames?

May 18, 2009

I need to setup a way for our Web Developer to login to this particular server to manage the webpages that are hosted. He prefers to use his ftp client/fireftp since he connects to all other servers that way. I can connect via local network but can not seem to connect from my home computer. We have a firebox firewall and we opened port 21. Do we need to open any other ports or just port 21?

Ubuntu :: Shift+Alt Triggers Scroll Lock

Aug 4, 2010

I`ve recently bought a Genius Slim Star 220 USB keyboard. The problem is that when I switch between keyboard layouts with shift+alt this also triggers scroll lock. I`m running Ubuntu 10.04 x64 kernel 2.6.32-24 EDIT As I`ve just found out it`s not shift+alt that trigger scroll lock, but the fact of changing the keyboard layout. I`ve tried several other hotkey combinations as well as changing layout with the taskbar applet. All the same.

Debian Installation :: Disk Partitioning Consistently Triggers Computer Restart

Jan 3, 2016

I'm trying to perform a clean installation of 8.0.0-i386 from a CD. Seven consecutive attempts all result in the same issue: Almost immediately after commiting the disk partitioning settings (i.e., to begin formatting), the computer does a hard restart. I have tried doing the partitioning as early as possible in the installation process, just in case the system is running out of memory; I have also tried using the lowmem option. I suspect the problem may be related to my very old hardware...

Micronics serverboard 440BX chipset*
Dual Pentium II 450MHz CPUs*
1GB ECC RAM*
Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI adapter
IBM Ultrastar 36GB UW-SCSI HDD
ATAPI CD-ROM
Matrox G100 AGP video card*
*starred items are all original parts from an Intergraph server with validation/verification stickers attesting to their intercompatibility

No POST errors, the HDD passed verification using the Adaptec ROM utility, all unnecessary hardware removed

Could it be that I need an older release or some custom-compiled kernel? The only thing I could come up with on the web was that a lot of people have a similar failure with modern distros on non-PAE CPUs, but the P-II should not be susceptible to this problem.

Fedora :: Change Certain Letters In Filenames To Uppercase?

May 22, 2010

I'm working on changing some badly named files, lots of them. I have a little script I use to change uppercase to lowercase:

Bear in mind all these files have appropriate numbers in the front of each filename. I need help to change ONLY the first letter after each underscore to an uppercase letter. I'm sure this can be done but I've done so much searching in forums and with Google/linux until I'm scrambled.

Programming :: Perl - Test If String Is Uppercase

Jan 6, 2010

In my perl script I'd like to test if a string is written in uppercase letters or not. How can I do that? This type of test don't seem to work, so there must be other ways of doing this:

Code:

...return true.

I can create a subroutine that compares each character aginst a list of uppercase letters, but I'm hoping there's allready a build in routine in perl that does this...

for i in *; do new=`echo "$i" | sed -e 's/^./U&/'`; mv "$i" "$new";done
I understand the 'for' kinda... but not the 'echo' or '`' and especially the sed command.

General :: Convert All File Extensions For Files In Many Sub-directories From Uppercase To Lowercase?

Sep 21, 2010

I'm trying to convert all file extensions for files in many sub-directories from uppercase to lowercase. I have two problems, how to list the absolute path to the files recursively over many sub-directories for which I so far have this:-

Code:
find ~/Photos -print which would be fine, except it gives the directories on their own when it finds them rather than just the files with absolute paths. I couldn't find a switch for the "ls" command to do this, so I had to improvise with "find". and once I get grab each absolute file name, to just change the file extension rather than the entire file, which is what I have at the moment.

General :: How To Handle Warnings

Oct 15, 2010

I've been trying to understand issues that occur during a uClinux distribution build (so I can include such issues in a module I'm writing for students). My process has been to work through errors that occur due to missing packages, then remove the distribution and build it again to uncover what happens.One thing I notice is different sets of warnings within each iteration of making a new build. From the document here (URl...it states, "A typical warning involves a variable being used before its value has been set."

So my question: is there a way to verify that the issue throwing the warning has been resolved by the end of the make build?And, is running make build again an option or could this cause problems within the build directories or image?
