hello folks,



i am trying to migrate from NIS setup to a ldap setup
to achieve the following.



  1.   LDAP server holds multiple NIS domain user
information, nfs automount information associated with
the nis domains.
  
  2.   the user authentication via ssh is done against a
kerberos server to provide one-time login support.=20
  
  3.   the ldap server also checks with  Microsoft AD
directory to see if the user account has a
corresponding account in AD. if it doesn't then it
fails.




I am kind of stuck has to how to achieve b & c. I have
read about padl migration tools for nis to ldap but
beyond that i am lost.=20



I kind of figure that referral option ldap could
probably be used to query AD. I am not sure. Would
appreciate pointers to guides, hints, writeups of
successful implementations .



thank you.


regards


John

Ah, so @LOCAL is loopback only ... TFM doesn't mention that.

For what purpose?  I'm on dialup and use Debian no problem.

If you have the stable DVD, and update DVD, what more do you want untill
Lenny becomes stable?  There aren't that many security updates that take
more than a few minutes to download.

I want to xforward mplayer, but when I run it from my remote ssh
session, it runs in its console mode.

Is there any way to force it to run as a GUI application so it will
appear in my local X session?  I don't see this in the MPlayer docs.

Not knowing what all you did, or exactly what type of scripts you're 
using, it's impossible to tell.  I just know if you don't enable the 
correct modules for what you're doing no matter what's in your 
httpd.conf or your virtual server settings it just won't work.  The 
correct combination of enabled modules and configuration settings is 
what works. 

You can tell which modules have been loaded, both dynamically and 
statically, by running, as root, "apache2 -D DUMP_MODULES".

Thanks.  I tried this, but got the following errors:

ggpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
Release signature does not verify.
Errors:
 Release signature does not verify.
Failed to download some Release or Release.gpg files!
WARNING: releasing 1 pending lock...pg: Can't check signature: public
key not found Release signature does not verify.
Errors:
 Release signature does not verify.
Failed to download some Release or Release.gpg files!
WARNING: releasing 1 pending lock...

[later] Okay, I added --ignore-release-gpg to the command, and it's
working now.  Once I get the files, and burn 'em to CD, will there be an
issue with keys or ID when I try to add the CD to my sources.list via
apt-cdrom add?

Have you tried an explicit -display option? Note that you may have trouble 
with (a) audio on the remote machine; and (b) some of the rendering 
engines will probably not work right through a remote X server.

Setting the DISPLAY option didn't do hit, but I did see the answer:
mplayer has startup options in the man page not shown in the console
'mplayer --help' where I looked.  

-gui forces startup in GUI mode.

While aptitude's original diagnose that evolution is broken may be a bit
odd, the proposal to keep these packages seems reasonable.

What happens if you type "y" at the last prompt?  Or "n" and let
aptitude suggest other solutions?

Yes, the evolution-webcal is for a new version of evolution that is not
yet available in testing yet. Accept the option offered by aptitude (to
keep evolution) and wait for the upgraded evolution to become available
for testing.

Hi,

I had a similiar issue recently using obexftp and a Motorola V535. The
problem turned out to be that I needed a passkey manager running
during the authentication phase.

The very ugly solution I contrived consisted into compiling the source
of the passkey-agent included in /usr/share/doc/bluez-utils/examples,
then running it like:
passkey-agent 1234 <bluetooth phone address>

the phone should accept in this case the bluetooth passkey, then test
it with:
obexftp -b <bluetooth phone address> -l

Documentation is very scarce and the various guides/tutorial I checked
are rather inconsistent, so I think there is a better solution, maybe
someone can enlighten us about the use of the passkey-agent (and where
to find an already compiled version).

HTH, regards.

Hello.

I have an USB printer connected to my Debian Etch and can print via
CUPS.
Now I would like Apple Bonjour (rendezvous) to automatically discover
the printer.
How can I do that?

Thanks,
Jacob

Hi.
After some update I've spotted that users ceased to appear in my GDM list.

First I thought it was due to error in theme (yes, I use the one which
supports displaying of users in list). So I tried another one. But it
didn't help.

Then I tried to change settings in GDM. As default there is checked to
use /etc/passwd as source of users to be displayed in list, so Instead
I chose them manually. It still didn't help.

Then I tried to switch to KDM. Same results either with enabled theme
or disabled (in /etc/default/kdm.d/.... option to use theme set to
false).

Logging in works well. I just have to write login instead of just
selecting it with mouse click.

I'm not the only one using my PC, so making it as simple as possible s viable.

Please CC me on replies, I am not subscribed to the list

Thank you very much for any help

apt-file update

tried to download some huge Contents.gz files, so I purged apt-file. If 
diffs were produced of Contents.gz files so that subsequent "apt-file 
update" runs were relatively brief, it would be ok, but downloading huge 
Contents.gz files every time one runs "apt-file update" seems 
inefficient and is more than what my internet connection can stand.

To find file names in standard Debian packages, one can do a search on 
packages.debian.org.

What I'd like to be able to do is specify some non-standard repositories 
(eg www.debian-multimedia.org), and have apt-file download the 
Contents.gz files for those, and use packages.debian.org to search for 
files in standard Debian packages (main/contrib/non-free).

Filed as bug #456894.

Arthur.
