During the iPrint migration, all of the drivers are migrated, the existing printers are renamed adding _NW to the end of the names, and the new iPrint Printers are created. The users assigned to the old printers are assigned to the new printers as well, but there is a caveat. That only allows the users to install the printers from the web page at http://serveraddress/ipp. It does not force install the printers for the users. Here is how you can work around this.

This is a Linux script to replace the functionality of "display slp services" in NetWare.

Have you ever been coding Java and suddenly wanted to do something using loosely-typed variables or worked out an issue with a little less Java-ness? Have you ever wanted to take advantage of the familiarity people have with some languages (ECMAScript/JavaScript) while still using something that is not a web browser as an environment? Have you ever wanted to debug your JavaScript without refreshing a web page and your cache that just won't seem to ever refresh properly for you? This and more will be covered today with practical examples in both the Novell Identity Manager (IDM) and Novell Sentinel applications plus any other Java-based applications that you may have around your own environment.

Do you need to use Perl modules, other than the ones that are easily installed via YaST?

Do you ever find yourself running a command, pressing the up-arrow, then [Enter], then the up-arrow, then [Enter], then the up-arrow.... this is a great exercise that will get your fingers used to typing random odd key sequences without your eyes paying attention, but otherwise it's a complete waste of time. A command I have come to love helps me point my OCD tendencies to other pointless tasks while running commands over and over for me. Introducing 'watch', because Linux Just Does That.

For those cases where converting from Base64 encoded data to a hexadecimal output similar to what you get from other utilities this script may simplify your life. The script takes input and decodes it finally converting it to hex output for use in other applications.
