This indicates that the user already exists, or did exist but that all of the data for that user has not been deleted.

I am currently working on setting up multiple environments for a new project (DEV, QA, and PROD) and will be integrating all of the servers to an Active Directory Domain Controller for user management.
Following are notes from when I configured a Fedora Core 18 laptop to integrate with an AD server. It is likely things have changed some from then and I will update this as required for a current version of RHEL7/CentOS 7.
Install the following packages
yum I am working with a development environment whereby I VPN into an environment with an Ubuntu VirtualBox guest and then initiate an x2go client session to a developement workstation server that lives in the development environment.
I had everythining working exactly as I wanted except that the Delete key did not work in the x2go session.
Previously the xev output when pressing the delete key was:
FocusOut event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusIn event, If you have a list of files that you want to operate on in a loop in bash and some of them have spaces in the file name the default IFS (Internal Field Separator) will match with the space and tokenize the file.
The simple approach is to temporarily set the IFS as follows. This can be done in a shell script, but the following example is directly on the command line for ‘one-liner’ usage.
OIFS="$IFS"
IFS=$'\n'
for i in The easiest way that I have seen so far for doing so is to use tail and simply read everything except the first three bytes (start reading at the 4th byte), as follows:

I encountered the following error when trying to set up the unit test to test the mapper implementation through Eclipse:

The newer (I am currently using Mars, 4.5.0) versions of Eclipse provide very good tools for configuring the visibility of whitespace characters in code.
To customize your settings go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors.
On that page there will be checkbox option next to “Show whitespace characters (configure visibility).
Clicking on the ‘configure visibility’ link will allow you to choose what is shown and the opacity of the whitespace characters, which is a really → Continue reading “Configuring Hidden, Invisible, or Whitespace Characters in The Eclipse Text Editor”
I am putting together a chrooted installation of named and ran into a problem whereby attempting to generate an rndc.key with rndc-confgen just hangs, never returning and not generating a key.
After doing some searching I discovered that I needed to run the command as follows:
rndc-confgen -a -r /dev/urandom -t /var/named/chrootWhich outputs the following, generating the key file that I expected.
wrote key file "/etc/rndc.key"
wrote key file "/var/named/chroot/etc/rndc.key"→ Continue reading “[SOLVED] Configuring chrooted bind and rndc-confgen Hangs Not Generating a Key”
Sometime your java applilcation will fail and generate an enormous heap dump. One that may be too large to be able to transfer to your local machine and to analyze for lack of RAM, time or both.
One solution is to install the MAT tool on the remote server and generate an HTML output of the analysis to download and view locally. This saves the headache of attempting to get X Windows installed on the remote machine and get all → Continue reading “Using the Eclipse Memory Analyzer (MAT) Remotely on Large Heap Dumps”
Following is a quick-start for getting a Chef and Test Kitchen environment set up to start writing and testing Chef cookbooks. This is an work in progress, so please if you find something that is incorrect or does not work as expected, send me an e-mail.
Development Environment Set-up:
Unless you are a Ruby developer and already have a complete environmenet set-up the easiest thing to do is to install the Chef Development Kit, https://downloads.chef.io/chef-dk/.
After downloading and → Continue reading “Quick-Start and Minimal Cheat Sheet for Chef and Test Kitchen”
