RFC 2307 Unix to AD attributes Legend

What Active Directory Attributes did the Unix Attribute tabs expose in the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in prior to Windows Server 2016?

The following Active Directory Attributes were configurable from the Unix Attributes tabs in Active Directory Users and Computers prior to Windows Server 2016. This table is provided as a reference and with Windows Server 2016 all of these attributes can be modified... see here for more details:

unetbootin with ubuntu 17.10

Error message when trying to run unetbootin after install:

The following worked for me to resolve the issue:

The following are the minimum system requirements

• Multicore/MultiCPU Intel/AMD Processor system
• 8 GB RAM. 64 GB or more recommended for data deduplication
• RHEL/Centos 6.x/7.x, SLES 13 SP3 or Debian 7/8 for x86_64/AMD64 architecture
• QLogic 4Gb/s or above HBA(s) for Fiber Channel connectivity
• 1/10 Gb Ethernet ports for iSCSI connectivity

Redhat 7 root password recovery

This is really a note for myself... since it is so terse with no pictures, but may be helpful to someone else. At the boot menu press "e" to edit the boot option find the vmlinuz line and after the root= entry find the ro entry and prior to this enter rw init=sysroot/bin/sh Press Control X and after it boots in single user mode... type chroot /sysroot passwd root passwd mount -o remount / touch /.autorelabel

HPUX NTP setup

/etc/hosts
192.168.1.4. ntp1
192.168.1.5  ntp2

/etc/ntp.conf
server 127.127.1.0  #Local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

server ntp1 prefer
server ntp2

/etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons
export NTPDATE_SERVER=ntp1
export XNTPD=1
export XNTPD_ARGS="-l /var/adm/xntpd.log"

NTP Pool as alternate external NTP if ports are open:  north-america.pool.ntp.org

My recommendation is for NTP entries to be in DNS as cname records and then just reference the cname records in your configuration files... so if you ever need to change the NTP server you do not have to edit hundreds of client NTP client files.  Just update the DNS entries for NTP1 NTP2 etc.

The reason you update /etc/ntp.conf as well as ntpdate in the netdaemons file... is that ntpdate is intended for a single use on boot up... then from that point on... it gets updated from xntpd running from the /etc/ntp.conf configuration.  The reason for this is that xntpd will refuse to start if the local clock is off by more than 1000 seconds off from the NTP server you wish you get time from and if this happens the xntpd won't start and time will be way off until someone notices... manually runs ntpdate and then starts xntpd again.  Be careful not to cause your clock to go backwards or jump ahead after a database or application is running if it is sensitive to time.  Be sure to read about setting the options to SLEW the clock if you have things like a database running when you need to affect a large time change.

Remove Nvidia Proprietary Driver to avoid crashing

Ug... best not to purchase one of these in the first place.  Buy a different card if you can.  Nvidia is the worst.

Symptom:  Running Ubuntu 16.04 and after loading the proprietary Nvidia driver and rebooting login would fail and loop back to the login screen again.

Removed using the following:

Ctrl+Alt+F1 so you can get to a tty prompt

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
echo "nouveau" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
sudo reboot

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean

Mounting 64 GB SDCard on Linux

64 gig cards are likely to use the exfat file system which is not natively supported on Linux.

UPDATED:  Add the Universe repository and then run the following:
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils


OLD Info:

I'm running Ubuntu so I ran the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:relan/exfat
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fuse fuse-exfat exfat-utils

mkdir /media/sdcard

mount -t exfat -o uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1003,gid=1003,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask-0077 /dev/sde1 /media/sdcard


Initial Error Message:
Error mounting /dev/sde1 at /media/sdcard: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1003,gid=1003,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sde1" "/media/sdcard"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'
