linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello and thank you in advance... I just noticed that my development servers name have changed to SERVERNAME. That is...the prompt that used to say username@acme:~$ now says username@SERVERNAME:~$. I dont remember changing anything, but then again I may have. I am a newbie, so I am not really sure where this would be set. Again, I am a relative newbie to ubuntu so please be gentle. Thank you, dp (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] SERVERNAME Change

I have a bit of a code that takes an ldap string, a username, and a password, and then attempts to authenticate with the ldap server. The username may or may not contain the domain name, e.g., "DOMAIN\username" or "username" was valid input to this code.

From the ldap string, I will have a clear url, that may look like this LDAP://servername.com/DC=...etc.

I'm not quite clear on the difference between ServerName and ServerAlias.

I'm trying to use conkyKeyring.py to handle my access to my email account that shows how many emails I have.

We are scaling our puppet infrastructure and would like to split off the CA component from the puppet master server to another server. Part of the change involves a servername change for the puppetmaster too.

I'm running into a problem whereby I can't get the ca_server directive to work properly in either the [main] or [agent] section. It's just not taking effect.

I am running 12.10. have a NAS on the network that I can access with Nautilus. I can also access it with gvfs-copy, gvfs-ls, via it's URI: smb://servername

But I don't know how to access it via the filesystem. I understand it should be mounted in a gvfs directory. I looked in ~/.gvfs, but that's empty.

I've met small but annoying bug/feature. For example, I have two hostnames: servername.domain.com and servername.vpn, both are in my ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

Next, I type ssh serv<TAB> and it is completed to ssh servername.. All works fine but the cursor is placed before dot, so I must press right arrow key to continue typing domain.com.

How do I get slapd to quiet down? Every second it's writing the same five lines to the /var/log/messages file.

I'm looking for a likewise-open tool which returns the profile directory of a user as it is set in Active Directory (AD).

I am learning Django and wanted to test hosting it on an Ubuntu computer I have. I decided to serve it with Apache and mod_wsgi. I got most things working, but I have one thing puzzling me.
