I''m sure people have encountered this before, but I''ve been unsuccessful at finding anything about it. Basically, I got a rails app that uses postgres and tsearch2 for some full text indexing and I''d like to be performing unit tests. Now, there''s the whole deal of how to get the test database to load all the tsearch2 information properly. I tried to come up

I''m using a "CHARSET=utf8" option in my migrations, but this isn''t dumped to schema.rb - a file that test:db:clone uses to create the test database. The end result is some of my specs fail because they''re expecting the db table to be using utf8. to get round this, I switched to using db:test:clone_structure which DOES preserve the charset option, but when the

I experienced the following problem with an apparent permissions Catch-22 where there's no "root" user to bootstrap from with Samba-LDAP, and found several other people experienced it too. I eventually figured out why a few people are plagued by this problem while most have never seen it, and I solved it. For everyone else who experiences a similar problem, the explanation and

Hello all, this patch allows master process to drop more root priveleges under Solaris. My limited testing shows that code works, but I'm not sure that defined privilege set is permissive enough for dovecot. Unfortunately I have no root access to our Solaris servers to really test it. So if someone is ready to test this patch please do it :) Best regards. -------------- next part

We are running rsync (v3.0.7) as superuser (root), with following options ? /opt/rsync-v3.0.7/bin/rsync --checksum -e rsh --archive --rsync-path=/opt/rsync-v3.0.7/bin/rsync --hard-links --timeout=5184000 --exclude=.snapshot --exclude=../latest --exclude=../previous --delete --compress --stats distuser\@myserver:/source/dir/ /dest/dir Few files are owned by a user ?jim? with following

Should sudoers call customer service number instead of sysadmin when something breaks? sudo is a tool for expressing and enforcing a site?s policies

I''m reposting this here from my original post on Superuser[1], to hopefully get more relevant feedback from more experienced RoR users. I need to get a RoR environment up and running, because I have a client that needs some RoR work done on her website. Although I''m new to RoR, I''m a quick learner and was expecting installing and setting up the environment was easy, so

Hi All! Is anyone working with Oracle on Rails? What about testing? I will be very happy if you can help me: 1) When I run rake test:unit it removes all my sequences in test enviroment.

Hi, I have a daemon process which is changings things in the system only the superuser should be allowed to change. Lets call it "riskyd". Users use a frontend on the same machine (lets call it "risky"). risky is a SUID program which talks to riskyd by binding to a privileged port, then connecting to riskyd on localhost. riskyd cheks that the connection is coming from

I recently submitted a pull-request (https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/10939) to address a bug in PostgreSQLAdapter#disable_referential_integrity related to how the existing code behaves in a transaction when the PostgreSQL user account lacks superuser privileges on the PostgreSQL instance. While this permits the code to function without crashing, it doesn''t actually make

First, I''m trying to do the legwork with utilizing all 4 together because many people say it''s a good combination to use. I already have apache setup (was using it with the PHP version of my site formerly). I''ve installed all gems and dependencies that I need on my slice (using slicehost). I have a fully pushed git repository (master) on github (private git) with one

Greetings On centos 5, if I ssh in as a regular non-superuser account and go to the sbin dir to issue a reboot command, it wont do it as says you must be superuser If you are on the console logged in as a non-superuser account and do the same thing, it will reboot.

I''ve read: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145676 but that ultimately doesn''t answer any question. So with no further ado:

Hello there, I have a machine on campus which used to only have Vista. The admins set up (in Vista) an account for me on the domain and given me administrator rights (on the local machine). Linux/BSD alternatives are a no-no here so I did the maverick thing and installed Fedora. But I would like to have access to domain resources from my GNU/Linux partition if I can (printing is especially
