openldap fails to authenticate
by Tim Dunphy 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

I am attempting to setup an LDAP server under CentOS 5.4. However I am unable to search my ldap directory even tho I am supplying the proper credentials for the Manager account: [root@ldap openldap]# ldapsearch -x -h ldap -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net' -W -b 'dc=example,dc=net' Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) Anonymous searches do work however: ldapsearch -x -h ldap -b "dc=example,dc=net" -s sub "objectclass=*" [root@ldap openldap]# ldapsearch -x -h ldap -b "dc=example,dc=net" -s sub "objectclass=*" # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=example,dc=net> with scope subtree # filter: objectclass=* # requesting: ALL # # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object I am currently attempting to use the actual word 'secret' to authenticate the Manager account: database bdb suffix "dc=example,dc=net" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net" # Cleartext passwords, especially for the rootdn, should # be avoided. See slappasswd(8) and slapd.conf(5) for details. # Use of strong authentication encouraged. rootpw secret # rootpw {CRYPT}secret And I am getting error 49's in my openldap logs with loglevel set to 296 /var/log/openldap.log Nov 2 15:45:58 ldap slapd[3522]: slapd starting Nov 2 15:46:14 ldap slapd[3522]: conn=0 fd=11 ACCEPT from IP=127.0.0.1:44552 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) Nov 2 15:46:14 ldap slapd[3522]: conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=net" method=128 Nov 2 15:46:14 ldap slapd[3522]: conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=49 text= Nov 2 15:46:14 ldap slapd[3522]: conn=0 fd=11 closed (connection lost) this is how I have configured my ldap.conf BASE dc=example,dc=net HOST localhost URI ldap://ldap.example.net and for some reason slapd is listening on port 3774 even tho I haven't told it to: [root@ldap network-scripts]# netstat -tulnp | grep 389 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3774/slapd [root@ldap network-scripts]# netstat -tulnp | grep slapd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3774/slapd I haven't specified port 3774 _anywhere_ in my ldap config: [root@ldap network-scripts]# grep 3774 /etc/ldap thanks in advance for your help -- Here's my RSA Public key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5A4873A9 Share and enjoy!!

problem sending/recieving mails
by maina＠linuxmail.org 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hi all, I ave setup a CentOS server to act as LAN gateway and also as a transparent proxy server but all client "passing through" that server are enable to send or recieve mails. The mail server is host on the same LAN running mdaemon, both servers are on private IP block(192.168.0.0/24). Am using cisco router to do port forwading for mailserver(25,110,143) ports. If i eliminate CentOS box and direct traffic direct to cisco router everything works. My question is why is it when i use CentOS box as LAN gateway clients are unable to send/receive mails? I ave done nating on that box. Centos 5.5 full updated.

grub irritants
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

It appears that if I do anything to grub.conf, say, take out the rhgb quiet, after every succeding kernel update, I have to manually edit grub.conf, because the kernel update - maybe the post install script? - will set the default to be the previous kernel. Has anyone got a solution to this, so that a kernel update will give the new kernel as the default? mark

Geany plugins out of sync
by Eduardo Grosclaude 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

I'm intending to do some version control, hence looking for some plugins. Geany and geany-plugins packages in Rpmforge seem to be out of sync: Name : geany-plugins Arch : i386 Version : 0.18 Release : 1.el5.rf Name : geany Arch : i386 Version : 0.19.1 Release : 1.el5.rf When both are installed, geany claims that plugins are not "binary-compatible". Frank's own hosted geany RPM (http://www.melvilletheatre.com/articles/el5/geany-0.19.1-1.i386.rpm) is even newer, but no geany-plugins there. Any chance for this to be repackaged? Or, some quick & dirty workaround? Thank you very much in advance! -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina
