I'm in the process of setting up gnarwl with our 389 (fedora directory server) and needed to import the vacation attributes and objectclass into 389. I only added the attributes I needed for vacation from the included ISP schema file.

Here is the ldif for putting into /etc/dirsrv/[instance]/schema:

dn: cn=schema
attributeTypes: (
  1.3.6.1.4.1.11048.1.1.1.1

This is just a case of RTFM but I thought I'd share...

While playing around with getting host entries to work with ldap, I found that my previous code for using gethostbyname was not running clean on puias6. Here is an updated version

#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
 
 
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	int i;

We store our host information in ldap. Previously using ldap for host lookups was done by adding the appropriate entries to /etc/ldap.conf and changing nsswitch.conf.

With 6, nss_ldap has been replaced by nslcd, so I needed to change our setup a little.
I put the following into nslcd.conf

uid nslcd
gid ldap
uri ldap://ldap2.example.com

A friend of mine was talking about his design for a shell that would allow you to programatically reuse arguments. I started looking and found that bash can do this but not programatically (at least as far as I know).

alias fl='(for file in `find .??* * -maxdepth 0 -type d`; do du -hs $file 2>/dev/null; done) |sort -h -k 1'
