Have you run update and upgrade on your server to get all components up to date? sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
-
Sound like you're having a typical 'my sortta day', Well, you'll need msktutil either way. Try this sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install msktutil If it's not in the repository, see if this works: msktutil_0.5.1-1_amd64.deb Debian Jessie Download and see if you can install it with dpkg. Failing that, you'll have to build it. That's not as bad as it sounds, I did it when I needed it (I used Centos, but the principle is the same). If memory serves you'll need to install 'build essentials' or something similar, but let's burn that bridge when we come to it

Damn. I'm up to 'password7' already. 'password8' here we come. Where will it end?
-
Well, the deb file is there (hopefully) so that's worth a shot. sudo (or su) dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/msktutil_0.4-2_amd64.deb http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/linux/dpkg-cheat-sheet.php I bet you wished you left it alone now.
-
That's it? Well your msktutil has vamoosed. Very strange. the 'locate' command uses a database that might be a day old, so try the find command, but try it as a superuser (with su or sudo, I can't remember which Debian uses) just in case the permissions are bananas on msktutil. As a last resort you could run dpkg to install that .deb file and hope that it re-installs it.
-
Odd! locate msktutil or find / -name msktutil
-
What, msktutil doesn't work? Any error message? I would add the following parameters to the msktutil command. --dont-expire-password --enctypes 28 Delete the account squidproxy-k from AD. Give it time to percolate through if you have multiple DCs. <<< Important!!! Then try the msktutil again.
-
I would delete the Kerberos account for the Debian server from AD and recreate it. How did you create the Kerberos account? msktutil? Scratch that - look at the article in my above post and see if that helps.
-
Ah that's an entirely different kettle of fish. You're running Kerberos, and as it's first in the list you'll hit any Kerberos errors first. Elementary check is that of 'kinit Administrator' and 'klist' as mentioned by @cpjitservices Quite often 'authconfig --update' will fix things. A common error is that of using the same computer account to create your Samba connection and Kerberos connection. You should use two different computer accounts. Also, you can specify that the computer account does not expire. (--dont-expire-password parameter of msktutil) I'd recommend you look at this article as it covers most of the detail you need to know. http://blog.stefan-macke.com/2011/04/19/single-sign-on-with-kerberos-using-debian-and-windows-server-2008-r2/
-
Possibly out on a limb, but I think you can get around that with the 'tinker panic 0' directive in ntp.conf (which allows for massive drift correction).
-
Good point about the clocks being in sync. Well worth checking and using an NTP service (even internally) I presume he's just using NTLM rather than Kerberos (though it's perfectly normal to have both running concurrently, the preference determined by their order in squid.conf) so I suspect the klist and kinit are out of the picture. But that's an assumption.....

This looks interesting, In a nutshell, it's a portable OS (Android) on a bootable USB. I suppose they chose Android (over, say, Knoppix) for the humongous variety of apps. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keepod-unite

I often had weird problems like this after Squid upgrades. Try this first: Assign privileges to the WinBind socket with the command: chmod 750 /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged Check the trust secret between the computer and AD wbinfo -t This should be OK as you're seeing AD users, but check nevertheless. You should see OK or ERR from the ntlm_auth program (immediately). Something wrong there. Look at your squid.conf file (in /etc/squid) and find the line that mentions ntlm_auth - make sure the path is OK. Perhaps your winbind separator isn't '+'. Try it with a '\' so you'd type DOMAIN\\ <- Note you must use two backslashes Add the following line to the ‘Global Settings’ section of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf winbind refresh tickets = yes
-
Try wbinfo -u from the terminal. THis should list AD users If you get a problem, check your squid logs (in /var/log/squid) - look for Unspecified GSS failure - classic sign of Winbind going wrong. Probably a Samba problem - I've seen this a few times. First, simple thing to check - permissions OK? chmod 750 /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged chmod 600 /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab chown squid:squid /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab If all these pass muster, check your NTLM authenticator with this command (note, you might have a different auth program - check your squid.conf) /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic Type in the following - replacing DOMAIN, username, and PASSWORD with the relevant details: DOMAIN+username PASSWORD (hit return) It should either come back with an OK or ERR message, along with some other diagnostic info?

Do we have any mountain bikers/trail riders on EduGeek?
jinnantonnixx replied to L3OUGH's topic in General Chat
Here's my mud-magnet, a nice Kona. It's a bit long in the tooth, but a nice ride. I had a Cannondale Chase jump bike which was fun, but I sold that. -
I was listening to a random podcast about health and I remembered they mention the 'Dash Diet' as best overall on a variety of factors. Best Diets for Healthy Eating | Data | US News Best Diets I had a look and it seems pretty good. It's primarily concerned with improving cardio health, but apparently it's effective with weigh loss too. Anyway, here it is. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/new_dash.pdf

Much as a I dislike this sort of thing, I actually think they have a point. They're trying to patent their 'secret sauce' for their style of product-shot lighting, rather than the concepts - which let's face it, are not novel. I've got quite a few studio lights myself and a fair idea of what I'm doing. Amazon have worked out the lighting profiles, ratios and angles - quite precise - which they use as a standard for their product shots and they've described them in a patent. However, I've found a loophole in case you wanted to emulate exactly the Amazon shooting style. The patent describes the workflow. If you switch on the FRONT lights before the REAR lights, you've worked around the patent. Ta-da!! I thank you.

Spurious Correlations Intriguing stuff. Especially the divorce rate in Maine vs the per-capita consumption of margarine (US). I think we're on to something.

My auntie runs her own creche (in Wandsworth, if that makes any difference). I can ask her what's involved, if you like. I will tell you this, though - as the owner and principal, the hours are looooooooonnnnnng and holidays are virtually never. Bear this in mind.

Viewing Computers in AD - Operating systems
jinnantonnixx replied to Tesla's topic in Windows Server 2008 R2
Much as I hate Powershell, it has its uses. Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Format-Table Name,OperatingSystem -auto There are a lot more properties whcih will give you finer detail, and you can sort by whatever field(s) you want. -
I've got the CD by Smile (Brian May, Tim Staffell, Eddie Howells, Roger Taylor in the late '60s). The had an unmistakable Queen sound even before Freddy joined. "April Lady" is well worth a listen.

The Riffmeister. When I was learning the guitar back in the '80s, I got into Sabbath as you could play most tunes with a movable fifth chord. Symptom of the Universe is a stonking opening track. By chance, I (re)listened to Ozzy's 'Tribute' album with the late, great Randy Rhodes on guitar. Possibly the finest, most musical guitarist of the genre. A supreme talent. Oddly, I find Eddie Van Halen the most unmusical guitarist. Talented - no question, but his solos are more like carpentry than music.

The zeitgeist changes of course, and I've included two tracks by the same artists, but there you go. 1. Exodus Damage - John Vanderslice. 2. Continuation - John Vanderslice. Based on Lars Von Trier's film Element of Crime an intriguing track about two detectives tracking each other, while the body count still increases even 'now that the killer's dead'. A fabulous track. In fact the whole album Pixel Revolt is a masterpiece. It's a difficult album to get into, but full of strong songs; breaking free from mundane life through the allegory of a lost rabbit ("Angela"), depression ("Dead Slate Pacific"), a soldier's first (and possibly last) tour of duty ("Plymouth Rock"), self-medication ("CRC7173, Affectionately"). A stunning album. 3. Dancing with St. Peter - Sign of Four. A classic rock track. 4. Lion's Teeth - The Mountain Goats - john Darnielle's semi biographical account of being on the receiving end of drunken physical abuse. Saw him in Bristol just before Christmas at St. George's. Brilliant. 5. Dog on Wheels - Belle & Sebastian. Again, not a huge B&S fan, but like this track for no real reason. 6. New Year's Kiss - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. Lo-fi account of the morning after the night before. Superb songwriting. 7. Imitosis - Andrew Bird. Love this track. 8. Lines in the Suit - Spoon. Good simple rock song.

[sims] SIMS gradually getting slower and slower...
jinnantonnixx replied to Olliesaurus's topic in MIS Systems
When I was investigating the slow queries, I dug deep into the queries using execution plans. These showed that SIMS uses an awful lot of full table scans, and there were missing statistics for many of these. Moreover, some of the queries were inefficiency constructed. e.g. When you chose all classes, Profiler showed that rather than a SELECT *, the app constructed a WHERE IN (class1, class2, etc) even when all classes were chosen. Safer coding, but.... well.... Anyway, I found this fantastic free PDF book kindly published by RedGate. It's deep, but you'll really understand how SQL ticks. Red Gate book store - SQL Server Execution Plans Second Edition Good write-up, @michael2k6 I'd suggest that the log files are sized correctly at the start, though, and instead of setting a percentage increase for auto-grow, set the auto-grow value to a couple of hundred meg.(10% of not much is still not much, and every auto-grow causes a throttle-back on SQL) You don't want auto-grows following auto-grows in quick succession. -
