GID and UID for news

I have built packages for INN, a news server capable of being a private server with only a few groups, to a massive server running thousands fo groups, which seem to have a bit of a problem with what UID and GID the news user and group has.
The only news server that is an official package is sn which uses a UID of 9 and a GID of 13.
Is there an official place to lookup sub 500 UID's and GID's, and or register them for news or indeed any other user?

Hi Mohan,
On linux systems you cannot bind to ports lower than 1025 unless you are a privileged user (AKA root). On the other hand, you don't want to run a lon-running process like weblogic as a root user.
So the solution is to start up weblogic as privileged user, bind to low port numbers (usually 80 for HTTP, 161 for SNMP and such) and then weblogic itself changes the user that runs it's process to a low-privilege user such as "nobody" or a dedicated user you create.
Anywhere in this post "user" can be substituted for "group".
Hope I explained well,
Eli

How to setup MM costing and drive for new parts before ECM release key is triggered?

Hi,
I am on the engineering side of SAP ERP where I create new materials, BOMs, etc. We do this with a change master without release key today. We are switching to a more controlled/managed process for engineering changes where we will use change masters with a release key and approval workflows for these tasks (ECM). The problem we are seeing is that the supply chain side of the business is not able to perform their tasks of costing materials and driving for new parts until the ECM workflows are complete, release key is active, and the changes are valid for production. There must be a way for supply chain to perform these tasks beforehand, so that when the release key becomes active, material costing is complete, new materials are already on hand (or at least been ordered), so that the process of procurement/production orders are not delayed. Can you point me to documentation that provides an overview, or summarizes what the best practices are for our supply chain when we start working with ECM release keys?
Thanks,
Joseph

the release key allows you to release the change for specific business functions. Please look at the options available in release key configuration. You will need multiple release keys to bring the changes in a more controlled manner.

Cairo-compmgr-git and shadows for new windows

Hi, I'm using stand-alone Openbox and installed cairo-compmgr-git from AUR. Everything seems to work fine except for one thing, shadows don't get drawn for new windows, just for the ones I have already open when I run "cairo-compmgr -n". This doesn't happen with cairo-compmgr from the community repository, but with this version, conky windows have shadows. Xcompmgr-dana works fine also, but the entire screen flickers when dragging things around. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I got the same problem today after a normal update, now the cairo-compmgr from the community repo is having the same issue. I deleted the config file from ~/.config/cairo-compmgr and nothing.
Some help will be appreaciated

IPhone 16 GB white - Issues - Can I pay to restock and exchange for new?

Hi,
My wife and I bought new iPhones on monday to replace our originals.
I have had nothing but troubles.
The first unit, the hold button broke and retreated into the shell - the exchanged it.
The second unit, the screen is way too yellow, ever after the update. Also, I have not been receiving calls. I went to genius and talked to AT&T, they say everything is working fine. Let us know if I keep having issues, etc. I think the phone is a lemon, my wife's 3G phone is perfect.
If i go back to the Apple store, and pay the restocking fee, can I just exchange for a brand new phone?

Apple will not accept a return for an iPhone purchased at Consumer Cellular. You cannot
add additional memory to an iPhone. If you wish one with more memory, sell
the one you have and use the funds received towards the purchase of the model
you desire.
You can return your current iPhone to your wireless provide, purchase one with
more memory at Apple and take that iPhone to Consumer Cellular to have them
activate it on their network. Before doing so, be use that Consumer Cellular will
accept iPhones not purchased directly from them and if they do, which models
they support.

How to reset UID for new created accounts?

Hi everyone,
OS X uses the UID 501 for the first admin account and subsequently counts up for the coming accounts (502, 503, etc.). I sometimes need to create an additional account which will get deleted after a while. The next time I create such an account the UID counter goes still up so that I currently am somewhere around 510.
What I’d like to know is, how does one reset the UID counter so that it will give out 502 again for my next created account? Does this involve dsctl? Any help is appreciated!
Björn

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I was away for a week. I know about the advanced options, but was reluctant to try it this way. Just tested this in a VM and it works! You simply change the UID via System Prefs/Accounts/Advanced to say 502 and the subsequent accounts will follow. The only thing to keep in mind is to close System Preferences after deleting accounts in order to reset the counter. If you continue to create new users without quitting it first, it will continue at 511 or whereever you were.
The reason I want to do this, is simply to not lose my overview about which account uses which UID.
Thanks!
Björn

Simulair report for FBL5N and FBL1N for new general ledger on segment level

We are working with segments in new G/L ledger. We want to run a open item report where we can combine customers and vendors by segment. The vendors and customers are linked in the master data. In the "old" reports FBL5N and FBL1N you can do this but not by segment.I found the following report on segment level:
- S_PCO_36000218 - Receivables: Segment
- S_PCO_36000219 - Payables: Segment
What I'm missing is to run 1 report for Customers and vendors. What I'm missing to is that there are only some fields available on line item level. (I like to have invoice number, documentype,.......)
Is there a standard report for this in new genaral leger?
Is it possible to ad additional field to th list viewer.

About using categories and perspectives for new user

We are just beginning a conversion and upgrade project to convert our Web site to Oracle Portal. I'm trying to get a good handle on some different things we need to resolve as part of the project. One of the first decisions is using Categories and Perspectives.
I'd like to ask users about how they have used categories and perspectives and some real-world examples of how these work and improve the site and user experience.
About us
We're a big nonprofit river authority and wholesale electric provider in Austin, Texas. Currently, we offer very limited online transaction capabilities. However, we are diverse organization and users come to us looking for every specific information, so these elements may be very helpful. I'm evaluating how we can use these and other elements to make recommendations. Some real-world examples and best practices would help a lot.
Thank you, Charles Boisseau
Web editor

Continuing the thread...
Perspectives and categories may be leveraged in custom search portlets, so that you can enter the content one time, in one place, and have selected content display in multiple places.
Re: our "news" concept: our central communications group posts news stories tagged with one or more perspectives, such as which school is related to the story. This allows us to keep all of our news stories in one page group, but reuse the content elsewhere. For example, for the School of Nursing intranet, we can use a custom search portlet that automatically displays only that school's stories.
You'll want to do some up-front planning regarding your classification scheme. One significant limitation of both categories and perspectives is the inability to change the hierarchy. Oracle Portal product team, if you're reading this, this is a serious pain! I might also recommend leaving your classification scheme relatively flat. Tagging content with perspectives becomes more difficult if the content contributor has to visually traverse a deep hierarchy of perspectives.
Categories work similarly, but we mainly use them to visually sort items on a page using the "Group By" feature of a region.
Hope this gets some gears turning.

I understand there may be a new Apple TV coming out in 2014. Hopefully this could be a game changer in our lives and not just a product upgrade. I also understand that Apple does not except unsolicited ideas and suggestions for new products.

This is totally reasonable. That being said, understanding this is neither a "suggestion" nor an "idea", I was wondering how great it would be if the new Apple TV would have built in Radio Frequency control capability for all HT products. Comcast has RF control with it's new x1 box but it does not work with other components like a DVR, AV Receiver or other HT devices. Logitech offers remotes that one has to program with all the codes per individual manufacturer but this still requires an RF base station and external blasters.
                If the Apple had a relationship with the different audio/video manufacturers so that one could simply use an Apple TV remote ( or optionally use ipad, iPhone, MAC ) to control everything HT, then this simplicity would capture a huge audience in a big way!! Of course..........this is not a suggestion or an idea :-).
                Faithful Apple Fan, BPACK

You can submit feature requests to Apple customer service.
I was wondering how great it would be if the new Apple TV would have built in Radio Frequency control capability for all HT products.
No idea what you mean by HT devices, but it is unlikely Apple would release a product to support 3rd party devices. On top of which changing the ATV remote to be RF instead of IR would break all the existing remotes that are able to work with ATV. And would be MUCH more expensitve.
Comcast has RF control with it's new x1
Only becasue they HAVE to because they only provide one actual cable box, with other dumb box termtinals.   So remotes have to be able to work in other rooms since they all have to connect to the real cable box.
but it does not work with other components like a DVR, AV Receiver or other HT devices.
Right, since once you switch to RF you break compatablity with all the other IR devices out there which is pretty much 99% of them.
                If the Apple had a relationship with the different audio/video manufacturers so
Apples whole business model is locking out other manufatures.

We are trying to install ADF runtime lib, from jdeveloper it is asking server home which is on UNIX (/opt/oracle/product/10gas) and it is not taking... our connection is sucess.. Alternate option it is saying is install from zip.. Do you think we are making any mistake..
If you are deploying to Oracle Application Server Release 2 (10.1.2), you have to perform some additional steps before you can run your ADF applications:
2. You need to install the ADF runtime libraries on the application server. This is because the ADF runtime libraries that were shipped with Release 2 (10.1.2) need to be updated. To install the ADF runtime libraries, see Section 34.12.1, "Installing the ADF Runtime Libraries from JDeveloper". "
Can someone please help? thanks lalitha

System authentication wifi - gid and uid settings

I have a long standing problem with System Authentication on WEP Enterprise wifi.
Authentication worked yesterday but not today (see screenshots). I see in Directory Utility that I can make uid and gid static but not sure what that means. Is there any one who understands how System Authentication in 802.1x works along with OS X's integration of active directory?

You can setup "locations" in network preferences. I have a Macbook and I have setup a "home wifi" setting and a "cafe" setting.
My "home" setting allows me to use a user set IP address with pre-set dns servers and my "cafe" setting allows dhcp IP settings given by the router.
Good Luck

Full true Administrator Privileges and rights for New User?

I am wondering how to grant full administrator privileges to a newly created user?
Here is the environment:
Windows 2012 Server 64bit
Not part of a domain <WORKGROUP>
Here is the problem:
I created a new user we will call them "SecondaryAdmin", and made them part of "Administrators" group as well as the "Remote Desktop Users" group.
I login through an RDP session as "SecondaryAdmin", I go to a command prompt, and I run IISRESET and it tells me:
"Access denied, you must be an administrator of the remote computer to use this command. Either have your account added to the administrator local group of the remote computer or to the domain administrator global group."
Additionally, I have IE Enhanced Security turned off, but if I open Internet Explorer while logged in as "SecondaryAdmin" it still displays the IE Enhanced Security warnings.
Also, if I try to copy a file to the root "C:\", it gives me "Access denied error" forcing me to continue with elevated administrator privileges.
If I run the command prompt as "administrator" I can do an IISRESET without error.
If I run Internet Explorer as "administrator" I do not get the warnings.
If I run windows explorer as "administrator" I do not get the access denied.
However, I WOULD NOT trust this "SecondaryAdmin" account to install ANYTHING. Even if you ran the install executable as "admin", often times these install files will fire off secondary scripts that wont be fired off as "admin",
which may lead to incomplete or corrupt installs.
This changed from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012.... If I do the same exact thing in Windows 2008, I am able to do all the above things without prompt or error.
So how can I give a new user true, full, elevated, admin privileges without having to run everything as administrator? Some obscure setting in GPO? Some registry setting (already tried LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy)?
What I have tried:
UAC is OFF
Firewall is OFF
IE Enhanced Security is OFF
Remote Management/Desktop Enabled
User part of Administrators Group and Remote Desktop Group
Used "netplwiz" to verify user is Administrator
Please help!

Hi Chris,
I appreciate your answers, however, this is not what I am looking for.
I want the "SecondaryAdmin" user, who is part of the Local Admininstrator group, to have full Admin access.
I DO NOT want them to have to do anything special, or have any user intervention.
NO yes/no dialog boxes
NO clicking "Run As Admininstrator"
NO changing shortcuts or executable file properties to always "Run as Admin"
I simply want the "SecondaryAdmin" account, which is part of the "Administrators" group, to have the same access and run the same seamless way it did in 2008 R2, with no user intervention required.
This is what I am looking for.
Kind Regards,
James

Upgraded Battery and Sleeve for new X61s?

Hey Experts,
I just received my new X61s. Do you guys have any suggestions as to a better battery or a protective sleeve that I should purchase? I'd like to carry the laptop back and forth to class in my messenger bag with my books, and I'd prefer not to have to carry an additional laptop bag.
I'm not sure which battery came with the computer. I can only seem to find two numbers that may help the savvy identify it:
FRU P/N 42T5247
ASM P/N 92P1164
Thanks so much for any advice!

Thanks! Yep, I guess that's my inclination.
The old charger works fine btw (just that it has a small section of exposed wire).
I'll give it one more try with the SMC reset and if that doesn't work I'll probably send them back.

Even though my email accounts seem to be set up when i press the email icon it just lists icloud, EOL etc and asks for new account to be set up

Even though my email accounts seem to be set up when i press the email icon it comes up with Icloud, EOL etc like it is not set up. When you press on icloud and put in details it says the account is already set up.
Email had been set up and receiving and sending email but seems that no longer working. Have i bumped something and how do i fix it.

This is for Ipad rather iphone that am having this problem

I reset my apple ID and password for new iPhone 5. Now my iPad is stuck with old ID and I can't remember the old password in order to change apple account on iPad.....

I would like to enable my new Apple ID onto my iPad but in order to do that I have to delete my previous Apple ID with password. I have tried to retrieve my password several times with no success. Does anyone know how to bypass this step? I can't even reset it to factory settings without the old password.
Thanks for any help.

There is no way to bypass this step. It's Activation Locked. You can read more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You will need to resolve the password issue for your old Apple Id to move forward.
To reset your password follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
If you are still having issues, contact Apple via phone so they can help you reset your password: http://support.apple.com/kb/he57
