PAM: External radius for password / internal LDAP for the rest
hi, at the moment we importing every day students from a external LDAP server and copy them into our local LDAP tree. So we have a own password database, in LDAP. Now we have access to the main radius for the whole university so we can authenticate most of our users via the radius, but not all. The plan is: 1. Use Radius for the password only 2. Check if the user exists in our LDAP, if not -> no access 3. If the radius password isn't accepted, test the same on LDAP userPassword 4. Use LDAP for $HOME/ $SHELL/ $UIDNumber/ $Gidnumber The third point is for local users only (system accounts icinga/otrs ) and guests, also for the smoothness migration, from our password to the radius. Old users can still use the old password, new users take the radius one. I've installed a local FreeRadius server in proxy mode which works. So, my question is, can I do it with PAM? How does it look like? cu denny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You're barking up the wrong tree here. This isn't your webcam; this is your graphics card. In other words, that's your video-out device, not your video-in device.

Copy 2 partitions to .img file
Hello all, I have a memory card with 16GB of size, but only 4GB are partitioned through 2 partitions (sdb1 and 2). I want to copy the content of both partitions into a .img file, in order to be able to flash it on another 4GB memory card.. I tried with dd command, but I am only able to copy one partition each time or the entire 16 GB. Could you help me copying only the two partitions? Cumprimentos, Hélder Pinheiro

You COULD append the second partition to the first one, but then you have a problem of where does one partition end and the other finish?

A question you should consider when you are taking this decision is: how fast can you replace a failed drive? You must know that in the meanwhile you'd be vulnerable, since an additional failure could lead to data loss. If you can't exchange the drive fast enough, maybe you should use an spare drive or thinking about RAID 6 (I've never used it though). > > i prefer redundandcy against size (i mean, i can sacrifice space). and i > dont want performance degradation for doing raid with an incorrect number > of disks. > Another think you could consider is creating a separate volume for the OS. Particularly, I'd go for a 2 disks RAID 1 for the OS and a 3 disks RAID 5 for the database, since capacity isn't a problem. This configuration ensures that the database I/O traffic does not competes with the OS (when swapping and stuff). But that also depends on your hardware configuration.

In this case, avoid RAID5 and choose RAID1 or RAID10. Use 4 disks on the RAID10 array and the 5th as a spare one, for example. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Copy 2 partitions to .img file
If you just copy the first 4GB, which includes the partition table, and put it on a 4GB drive, you will have a bogus partitions table (I think). Maybe it will just "work" as long as you don't try to make new partitons. Alternately, I don't know what it would take to repair it although I'm sure it can be done. Thus the alternative of dumping each partition may be safer. However, note that if you dump each partition, you will have to deal with putting a correct partition table and MBR on the new drive. If the drive is bootable, this will probably involve re-running the boot loader install process. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It isn't one of the libraries used by that program. $ ldd -d -r /usr/lib/ure/bin/javaldx | grep libstlport_gcc ...nothing... I can only guess that your restore was not completely successful.

Then copy each of the partitions off. Then copy each of the partitions onto the new device. Right? > I tried with dd command, but I am only able to copy one partition each time > or the entire 16 GB. Right. But isn't that what you want? > Could you help me copying only the two partitions? dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=sdb1.img dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=sdb2.img Then partition the new device with two 2G partitions, the same size as the previous partitions. If you need help doing this ask. I would use 'sfdisk -d' to dump the previous and 'sfdisk' again to write the new partitions. This is the only tricky part of things. Then copy the saved data off to the new partitions. dd if=sdb1.img of=/dev/sdb1 dd if=sdb2.img of=/dev/sdb2 If the above just isn't going to work for you then if the file size is only 4G in total then you could simply copy the data off the filesystem and then copy the data back onto the new device. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt rsync -a /mnt/ ./backupdir/sdb1/ umount /mnt mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt rsync -a /mnt/ ./backupdir/sdb2/ umount /mnt Then mount the new device: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt rsync -a ./backupdir/sdb1/ /mnt/ umount /mnt mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt rsync -a ./backupdir/sdb2/ /mnt/ Note the trailing '/' characters on the rsync command args are intentional and important.

partition table not sticky
Hello, I have tried to partition a new HDD. fidsk reports `` Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x3d9b1a92. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) After "w" it reports ` Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks. `` And next time fdisk again suggest "Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel" I have repeatedly do the same but no luck. no luck with cfdisk. Changes are not stored !!! only gparted is successful but it makes my 320 GB HDD to 280 GB. 40GB lost !!!

In the /etc/network/interfaces file do you have the interface listed? Or is it left to NetworkManager? If it is listed is it listed as "allow-hotplug eth0"? Try this. Change that to "auto eth0" instead. that will change the startup from being event driven to being synchronous at boot time. On my Squeeze nis/yp systems I had to change to "auto" in order for the system to boot and bind successfully.

Can you report the disk information from either smartctl or hdparm? # smartctl -i /dev/sda # hdparm -I /dev/sda hdparm output is more detailed and will report more information about the drive.
