Do people actually use HostbasedAuthentication? It needs several steps to enable and generally seems quite arcane by now. I wonder if this is something that could be trimmed away... -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy at mips.inka.de

I''ve been experimenting with Xen 3.1. My requirements are to run lots 32 bit paravirt domains on large memory hosts (8GB or more). Previously I''ve used a 32 bit Xen with PAE hypervisor which works well. However I seen from the announcement that you can use a 64 bit hypervisor and still run 32 bit PAE domains. I''ve tried this and it works as advertised! What

After upgradeding to bareos 15.2, which also has a web ui, thereby making it usable (since the command line tool, bconsole, does not have a paging mechanism, and its sytax for choosing files to restore is, let us say, arcane), I've got another question: is *anyone* using bareos with kerberos? I see that they have in alpha(?) tls support, which isn't a great idea, given the recent vulnerabilities.... If you've figured out how to use kerberos, rather than hard-coding a password in the console configuration,...

This is a feature request for scp. scp has no easy option to copy symlinks, etc. to reproduce a directory tree. The -r option follows symlinks and reads the data out of device files when copying. A few years ago, the -a option was added to normal cp, replacing the cumbersome and arcane (cd wherever1 ; tar cf - whatever) | (cd wherever2 ; tar xpf - ) with cp -a wherever1/whatever wherever2 Adding a -a option to scp would likewise eliminate the need for the even more obscure but frequently-typed ssh wherever1 -l whoever "(cd wherever2 ; tar cf - whatever)" | (cd whe...

...n remain available in security=user and above. The rationale is that we need a very simple way to run a 'trust the network' Samba server, where users mark shares as guest ok. I want to keep these simple configurations working. At the same time, I want to close the door on one of the most arcane areas of Samba authentication. The problem comes from the fact that Samba never implemented security=share properly: instead of having one password per share, we tried to guess the username, and match that to a username/password pair. Not only is this code complex, it begins to fail with moder...

Converting this customer from a MiTel system to asterisk. Discovered that the inbound calls from the T1 are going to extension 366. (This was mapped in the MiTel for some arcane purpose.) The dial plan I am currently using is shown below. When loading the dial plan, I get this warning: WARNING[5004]: pbx_config.c:1561 pbx_load_config: The use of '_.' for an extension is strongly discouraged and can have unexpected behavior. Please use '_X.' inste...

...biased and might not reach actual end users of LLVM. I use the Autotools build system for a number of reasons. If compromises or reasonable workarounds could be found I would be okay with the switch to CMake. - CMake is poorly documented and difficult to use as an end user. There are a number of arcane switches and settings that are hard to find and figure out what they do. Moreover, certain important functionality is just plain lacking. - I already have an Autotools configuration file that sets default settings for the local installation prefix (to "$HOME/root/usr/local") and...

First, I'll just say this is a question principally about the arcane mysteries of Samba to OpenLDAP authentication. I've had Samba to OpenLDAP authentication running for a while now using the samba.schema and the ldapsam module. Now I'd like to understand a bit more about how that works in order to take it a step further and get openLDAP to bind agai...

...the compiler complains, because the ov_callbacks functions take a void * in the place of the FILE *. Since they're otherwise identical, this works - but I can't figure out how to cast the arguments appropriately so as to shut the compiler up. Casting function pointers appears to be a rather arcane sort of thing to do. Anyone with more C clues than I care to speak up?

...ridge from openLDAP to the RH based product? I have read many hundreds of pages, have purchased O'reilly's LDAP System Administration but cannot seem to get my dirsrv based LDAP to function. I do understand that ds uses LDIF files to store and set things up, but seem unable to grasp the arcane entries that need to exist so I can access it with a basic LDAP client to load my users etc. Also I guess there are certain schemas that need to be used to allow basic functions to work. My wish list: linux user authentication and authorization windows user authentication and authorization (via...

I have found that order() fails in a rather arcane circumstance, as in this example: > foo <- I( c('x','\265g') ) > order(foo) Error in if (xi > xj) 1L else -1L : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed > foo <-c('x','\265g') > order(foo) [1] 1 2 > sessionInfo() R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10)...

Greetings, This may be a bit arcane but does anyone know what the contents of a facility message should be for initiating a TBCT on an NI2 ISDN. I've been trying to get it to work on a DMS100 for the last four months to no avail. The message I am currently sending makes it to the switch but is returned with unknown message. Perh...

...to trap floating point badness by setting up a SIGFPE handler. However, I'm not seeing it trigger, even for simple test code that forces division by zero. I'm generating bitcode with llvm-gcc and then executing it with a (modified) version of the jitter, for reference. Is there any arcane magic necessary to turn on SIGFPE generation? Thank you in advance, Sarah

...e highly > motivating (personally). > > -d Yup, but since this is auth code I imagine it would still require quite some maintainer time to integrate a patch, if one were supplied. Plus I'm under the impression that hostbased auth is somewhat of a "discouraged" or at least arcane practice. Cheers, Marian

...s domain member, however. But: the 'LOCALPC/Administrator' is not a domain user and NEITHER in the 'Domain Users' NOR in the 'Domain Administrators' group and is surely NOT entitled to have those superpowers, IMNSHO. How come? Security bug? Or am I'm not aware of some arcane Windows behaviour? Regards, Peter

...DC validation? I could just take the route of 'disabling' any attempt at using winbind for my unix validation attempts as an 'easy way out' to get rid of these messages, but I'd prefer to fix the problem rather than bury it, **IF POSSIBLE**... So, is this a lost cause, or an arcane misconfiguration? If the latter, any idea where to look for the break? I have a feeling it has something to do with local login's having no Domain name attached to them (i.e., because they are 'local', and it not realizing that 'local' = 'Domain'... but that's...

...ll being wrong. I have NO CLUE what hosed the permissions, and I can't be sure that there may not be some other items also wrong (that I can't see because they don't appear on the F19 system). Can anyone suggest an accurate way to have the system fix all the permissions in /dev? some arcane options on rpm, perhaps? thanks!
