If you have a group of administrators who need root access to your Linux servers or desktops, consider assigning rights through SUDO rather than giving them the root password.

Check out this GWCheck.com exclusive TIP by Tay Kratzer on converting users to resources!

Tay: "For a couple of years now it has pained me to see the NGW List discussions of converting users to resources, and to know I had a procedure, but didn't have it well documented".

Tay finally got adequate time to fully document in written and video form a procedure "Converting a GroupWise User (or External Entity) to a GroupWise Resource".

Well, I've got to say, the number of people using ZLMLoad has caught me by surprise. Due to the feedback and requests I've received, I finally rewrote ZLMLoad from the patchwork of hacked in features that it once was.

Over the past couple of months, I have been involved with migrating remote NetWare servers to Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES2) Linux. During this time, there are some lessons that have been learned that hopefully this article will be able to help you, the reader, perform your own migrations more smoothly and avoid some of the pitfalls we encountered.

Once in a while an issue comes up where application A gives some odd errors in eDirectory but those errors seem to be cosmetic as application A is still fine and works (unless you count the messages in ndstrace). What does this mean when you see a -714 from eDirectory while tracing LDAP that is talking about some "iterator"? What does an LDAP error 51 mean when everything still seems to return properly? Today I am going to try to share some information on Virtual List Views (VLV) by explaining what they are, how you can use them, and a few cases where they do not work with eDirectory.

For a while now I have wanted to see how many controls eDirectory really could handle, even if they were not supported. It should be mentioned loudly and clearly that as of eDirectory 8.8.5 some of these controls work but THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTED so if they do not work properly submit a bug or an enhancement but don't expect a quick response. Also for some of these there are definite limitations with how they work. I'll try to cover those as I go.
