Re: [CentOS] Problems with deleting a reference in 389DS

I now need to delete this but I am having trouble. Firstly I can't find this object in either the directory manager or ldapadmin. I can see the object using db2ldif: but I can't delete with ldapdelete: [root@logger ~]# ldapdelete -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w mypassword -p 389 -h localhost -x dn=cn=bloggsco,dc=mycompany,dc=com ldap_delete: No such object (32) matched DN: dc=mycompany,dc=com any ideas? Just a thought, I don't think ldapdelete wants the DN in the form "dn=cn=...". Try to remove the "dn=" prefix from the DN. -- Jay Leafey - jay.lea...@mindless.com Memphis, TN ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You haven't told us much about the kind of work they do or the software they use to do it. LibreOffice, Firefox, and Thunderbird with the Lightening extension will probably meet the productivity needs of most of your fellow office workers. If they adopt the FLOSS applications then you have a much greater chance of getting them to convert to any flavor of Linux. If they use any type of specialized software then your chances of finding support for those applications on Linux will be much slimmer. For example, there is no direct replacement for Microsoft Access on Linux. LibreOffice has Base but it's not Access compatible. You would need to totally redesign and rebuild pretty much from scratch and still not achieve duplicate functionality to the Access application you had before. Same situation for Photoshop. Linux has The Gimp but it's not a drop in replacement. CATIA and CADDS do not run on Linux and have no real drop in replacement. AutoCad does not run on Linux but there are 2D design tools that *might* be capable enough to support your functions. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
