Question about cyrus-sasl2: sasldblistusers2 shows check_db unsuccessful

I run "port install" to build cyrus-sasl2 without problems.
saslpasswd2 creates the sasldb2 file, but shows an error message in the auth.log.
error deleting entry from sasldb: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found
Running sasldblistuser2 to list the user created with sasldb2 still not working and shows up "check_db unsuccessful".
What causes the error ?

Hi Xun,
As a Workaround, you can try below:
On the Target system, perform the following steps:
1. Edit $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/context/db/CTXORIG.xml on db & $COMMON_TOP/clone/context/apps/CTXORIG.xml for apps
2. Change the value for s_dbSid,s_contextname,s_dbhost to the correct target system value
3. Rerun "perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier" & "perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier"

  • CBWFQ: Question about the output of "show policy-map interface" command

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about the output of "show policy-map interface" command.
    The following is the output of this command and lower side of the output shows
    (total queued/total drops/no-buffer drops) 0/342/0
    If the packets drop occur due to the situation of no enough buffer,
    "no-buffer drops" counted up. But "no-buffer drops" has not been counted up.
    The "no-buffer drops" is 0 (zero) but "total drops" are counted as 342.
    I guess there are other factors except "no-buffer drops" to add "total drops".
    But I can not find any information about "other factors".
    So I would like to know the "other factors" added to "total drops".

  • TWO Questions about the new TV shows rental with iTunes and Old Apple TV

    Hello all. Been trying to find some FAQs or something but think only got partial answers, so I hope I can get some here, using 'Glee' as an example:
    1. Can the (old) Apple TV rent new TV shows available? E.G. Glee Season 2?
    2. If I use iTunes 10 to rent an episode (of Glee HD), can I play it on my TV via my (old) Apple TV? Like in the form some kind of streaming?
    Thanks and cheers

    You may be right, I'm just thinking there is no movie rental "movie menu" option on the current Apple tv either, but one can still rent movies.
    Unless the tv show downloads are specifically designed to block usage on certain devices or there is something different about them, I would have thought that tv show rentals could be enabled at the itms end by adding a rental option on the specific tv show page, just as movies are done now.
    If I were in the US, I probably wouldn't be holding my breathe for tv show rentals but I'm not convinced I'd rule them out either.

  • New to apple, question about font sizes on show bookmarks pages

    Former windows user, trying to get used to this beautiful new imac! When I am on the safari page, in the show all bookmarks page, the font is so small, and buttons to increase the size are disabled on the page! I know there must be a way to make the print bigger but how?
    Thanks to all.. I think I'm learning more from reading these forums than with all the help pages.

    Very sound advice (as always) Barry.
    I (very briefly) considered offering the Terminal/Defaults route, but thought that Safari Enhancer was the lesser of two evils. Safari Enh does not need to be kept running after changes (like the bookmark font size) are made. & I believe most of it's functions within Safari are made by simply altering the plist file - so getting back a default configuration is very simple.... just reset safari.
    keveliz : Barry's is good advice. I wouldn't put safari enhancer in the " ...here be dragons" or 'addicted to haxies' class myself... because it's just a program that you run & close afterwards - it doesn't carry on, (possibly) brewing trouble in the background.
    I haven't been using Apples even a year now - but pc's & 6502 / 6800 & onwards micros since err, 1980..... & fwiw I personally think safari-enh is much safer than most 3rd party fixers ( which isn't saying much! - so Yep, I'd recommend it based on my usage )- there's good support, a useful discussions forum; although previous versions ( presumably sorted now?) could be annoying due to setting non-std options that you hadn't specifically checked - a problem if you're just starting & you wouldn't know what was a default setting & what wasn't.
    None of which is intended to disagree with Barry's note of caution - be careful out there.

  • Sorry: Basic Question about MPs that arent showing any metrics

    SCOM is up and running , agents are installed and show Healthy -my issue is when I expand a particular management pack like DNS I don't see any of my DNS servers showing up. When I expand the Microsoft Windows Active Directory MP I see my AD Servers listed
    but a green circle saying Not Monitored. Do I need to go into the MPS somewhere and enable? thanks so much
    Andrew

    Hi,
    Make sure that you DNS server has agent installed. And we may flush health service state and cache for DNS server and Domain controllers.
    In addition make sure, DNS discovery rule is enabeld. And we may go through the management pack to configure the management pack.
    Please refer to the below article to clear cache:

  • Question about my log entry showing data file is excluded.

    I am new user of Sophos for Mac.  I have OS 10.10.3 installed. My log says: com.sophos.intercheck: Info: Exclusion: /Volumes/Data/ at 12:48 on 13 June 2015

    com.sophos.intercheck: I understand the time machine exclusion, but not the Volumes/Data. I have excluded nothing in preferences.  In "On-Access," the excluded items pane is blank.  Is the above normal for a log in a situation where no exclusions have been made (although the check network volumes (like time machine?) has not been ticked). Thanks.

    Hi again bobalaska,
    Is /Volumes/Data located on a network? that would be the obvious reason for that exclusion to exist..

    He said - Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox.
    I want to know - Will I still have my bookmarks, history, addons, plugins, etc.? I do not know what plugins and such that I had. What about my pinned tabs and my tabs that where open.
    More information - When I try to start Firefox I keep getting the message that I need to restart my computer in order to complete a previous update attempt. I had Sweetpacks on my PC and I do not know where it came from, it took over my home page in Internet Explorer and Ithink caused the issue with Firefox.
    Should I do the clean install or try starting Firefox now.

  • Question about LIVE slide show

    Hi,
    I use keynote for my live presentation slide to slide...sometimes i need to jump the slide to the other slide immediately by hit the number of slide that i wish to jump to (say from slide 2 i wish to jump to slide 26 for the next slide ,i just hit the number 26 and enter i'll be there on the spot)
    Question,
    when i hit the number of the next slide as the above example, keynote will show a slide bar on the top that will show on the screen that i projected as well...how do i avoid the "slide bar" when i hit the number26?
    Sorry for the complicated description above...cause,i really don't know how to descript the situation that i facing...haaaa...hope you all can understand..and give me some tips to solve it!!!!
    Thanks and appreciate!!!

    Question 1 - Yes, exactly.
    Question 2 - Rehearse Slideshow mode shows you what the Presenter Display will look like when you are in Play Slideshow mode, but for situations when you only have one monitor. A good example use case is when you are on an airplane and you want to rehearse your slideshow (hopefully not out loud) and you obviously only have your laptop monitor to work with. This way you can get used to working with the Presenter Display. When you go to Play Slideshow mode, it will look exactly the same, only your audience will be seeing your finished slideshow without the notes, Slide Browser, etc. from the secondary display output.

  • Questions about using the Voice Memos app

    I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
    -Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
    -When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
    -In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

    You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app.  You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
    Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
    App quality is excellent.

  • Some questions about Muse

    First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
    The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
    It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html).  I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
    Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
    A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
    The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
    (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident,  moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
    The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but  the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
    I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
    The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
    The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts  (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
    YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
    Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
    On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
    This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
    Is it possible to make an option of  scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
    Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
    I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
    In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
    According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
    The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
    Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
    I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.

    Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
    Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.

  • A lot of questions about my MacBook Air

    I am really new to re-using Apple computers.The last time I used an Apple computer was back in 1987 when the school and my family had Apple IIGS computers. I have been using PC's which reqiure Microsoft. I a lot of have questions (10 questions) about my MacBook Air and I hope you good people can and will help me.
    Product: MacBook Air
    Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
    1) I Downloaded MacKeeper because I was fooled. I had a bad feeling just before I Downloaded it and I should have listened to my heart. However, I didn't buy it or fully Install it. It was like a test run and then they wanted me to pay almost $100 for it. Thankfully, I didn't because I read it is Malware. I spoke with an Apple Tech at Apple Care and he helped me get rid of it (or so we think). I don't see it anymore on my computer. I read it can slow down your computer. How can you tell if it's really off of the computer?
    2) When I open "Finder" and I see that there are people Sharing my computer with me. I went into AirDrop and it reads, "Other people can see your Mac as (my name) MacBook Air when their computer is nearby." I bought a HotSpot and while it's turned on and I selected it as my WI-FI connection I thought it would  get rid of these people, protect what I type, me, my items, computer, etc. But it didn't.  
    I didn't know that I have to buy a exteral CD and/or DVD Player in order to connect to the brand new Modem and Router in one by NetGear. I am so used to PCs and the CD/DVD Players being built inside.
    The people at Apple Store told me that there is an internal modem inside, but I don't know how to find it and what to do then.  Should I use a Firewall?, An AntiVirus, AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, etc. Apple Care tech told me I don't need to get an AntiVirus.
    3) Is there a new kind of Wireless Modem and Router that doesn't require a CD-ROM?
    4) When I travel or fly and I am not close to home I was told by Best Buy and Sprint that I had to buy a mobile HotSpot to use the computer (WI-FI) safely. As I typed, I have one. But it's pretty expensive and only gives me 1 hour and 15 minutes per day to Stream. What can I do to use this computer safely Online when I am out of range from a Modem and Router? What do people do when they travel on airplanes?  
    5) This compter won't let me use "Raid." I think you have to have a newer version. I hard about Raid on the radio from Leo (can't recall his last name) who's a Tech expert.
    6) Should I buy a ZipDrive? Apple Store Tech told me that I didn't need a ZipDrive. I just remember the episode of HBO's "Sex and The City" when Carrie looses everything because her copy crashed. Now, of course, I know that's a fictional show, but with PC's and Microsoft I have lost everything when it crashed, frooze up, etc. I know there's iClouds. I heard about Carbonite, but I have read the Pros and Cons about it. Mostly they are Cons about it. I just don't want to do anything wrong and mess up this computer.
    7) Should I buy a new Printer/Copier/Scanner because mine is an HP. It's not new, but it works. I even have a CD-ROM for Macs. What about the new product called, "Neat"?
    8) Is there a special product that I should buy to do Online Banking and/or other important stuff?
    9) I saw and read about iWork in the Apps Store and it sounds cool. I still have alot of friends and colleagues who still use Microsoft. Is iWork good to use? Should I Download it from the Apple Apps Store or can a buy it at Apple? Is there another Word Processing Program that is great and user friendly and will work with Macs and PCs?
    10) Should I Update the OS with OS X Mountian Lion Pro from the Apple Apps Store or buy it at Apple Store?
    In advance, I wish to thank you in this Apple Support Communites for your help.  Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

    1) Here are instructions for removing MacKeeper. Since it mostly consists of manually looking for folders and specific files, if you follow the instructions you either fail to find what you are told to find (because your AppleCare guide gave you complete instructions which you followed) or you'll find some additional files that need to be replaced.
    2 & 3) I assume you are looking at the sidebar of a Finder window and seeing Shared and computers under it. Those are computers that you can potentionally share. To do so you'd need an account on their computer and a password. They are not sharing your computer.
    AirDrop allows you to create an adhoc network for filesharing and it only functions when you have selected the AirDop item in the SideBar. Actually doing that merely announces to computers in the same network node that your computer is available for a file to be sent to. Even then you have to explicitly allow the file to be downloaded to your computer. Similarly you'd be able to see other computers with AirDrop selected and be able to send them a file - which they'd have to accept.
    The only reason your NetGear Router comes with a CD is to install and run their 'easy' step by step configuration program. It can also be done manually with a browser. Read the manual to find the IP address you must enter to access the router's configuration menu. Apple's WiFi routers don't require a CD to install the software because the configuration software is already on your computer.
    I do have my firewall turned on. AntiVirus software isn't a bad idea - I use Sophos having tested it for a review for our local User Group and I found I liked it better than ClamAVx which is what I'd been using before. Both are free.
    4) I think you were scammed by Sprint and BestBuy. I use hotel, coffee shop, and restaurant WiFi spots and have for years. However, because they can be unsecured, I do not shop online or bank when I'm using them. I also use 1Password and don't reuse passwords so even if a sniffer should grab an account and password that's all it would get - one account.
    5) Raid doesn't really make sense with a MacBook Air - a RAID involves 2 or more disks being used as if they were one.
    6) Zip drive? No. External hard drive - yes. It isn't a question of if a computer's hard drive will malfunction, it is when. OWC has a nice selection of external drives and the Mac has a built in backup system called TimeMachine. Due to the way TimeMachine works, I've found that your TimeMachine drive should be at least twice as large - and preferably 3-4 times as large as the data you are backing up.
    7) if your printer works and it has Mountain Lion drivers, why replace it?
    8) Online banking is done with a browser - Use Safari or FireFox
    9) If trading files with Windows users is important Mac: Office is your best bet. If not, iWork, Mac:Office, or LibreOffice are all good possibilities.
    10) you can only buy Mt Lion via the App Store.

  • Questions about Indexing and Using an Indexing POA

    Although I have only about 50 users, at least 15 of them have in excess of 100,000 messages in their accounts and the POA (version 7.0.2) is regularly slowing to a crawl. (I just know that plans for revolution are fomenting!) I have embarked on a campaign to reduce these accounts by archiving everything off to get mail accounts down to 3000 or fewer pieces. I have achieved user buy-in, but have worked on only a few users so far.
    In another closely related thread, it was suggested to me that the PO speed issues relate to broken indexes. And I suspect that given so many messages, the indexes were never getting fully rebuilt with the default QF POA settings. I am trying to fix that situation in addition to reducing mail account sizes. So, I have set up a second POA on another server and dedicated it to the indexing task. The /qfinterval is set for 1 hour, other /qf switches at default. The POA-QF does no mail delivery, but it does do nightly user upkeep.
    The POA-QF seems to be steadily working away and making progress at reducing the number of unindexed messages. However, I have questions about what I am seeing and what more I can do:
    1. Is the progress I am seeing real progress? For example I have a user with over 100,000 messages to be indexed and every time I check the logs, the count drops by about 500 messages per hourly QF cycle. I assume that if I just let it keep running, it will eventually get caught up and fixed. Not only with this user, but with all the others as well. Will my patience (and theirs) be rewarded? Are there any gotchas I need to prepare for?
    2. One user has recently had virtually all of her messages successfully moved to archive. I can see them in the Archive, and do not see them in the online account. However, now over a week later, QF still shows >130,000 items still left to index for that user. The POA-QF is making slow, steady progress reducing that number, but why is this user's QF count still so high? Does it just need more time, or is there something amiss for this user?
    3. I may want to rebuild indexes for single users from scratch. I have seen the TID 3105742 which tells how to do this: Essentially you turn off mail delivery functions, and make some other switch changes to dedicate the POA to indexing for just a single user, and then you let the POA rebuild the indexes. The implication of that scenario is that the POA is now enjoying exclusive access to the user's databases.
    If I want to use my secondary POA-QF to rebuild a user's index from scratch, does the main POA have to be offline and the user out of GWise? That is, Does the QF process require exclusive access in order to rebuild indexes from scratch?
    Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

    Set this switch for this indexing POA - /qflevel=999 - this will index
    everything in one run. It will take a long time, but with no qflevel switch you
    are indeed only indexing 500 messages at a time, and if the user has that much
    mail, it might never really catch up.

    This is odd, because really the index count should drop to nothing, but with the
    above switch this might get resolved as well.

    Not really - the POA is not enjoying exclusive access to the user's database,
    the indexer is just avoiding an attempt to index anything else.

    No - QF never requires exclusive access. That said, you may find that an
    extremely vigorous QF can cause slowdowns for the user.

  • Questions about 3702i and WSM (WSSI)

    I have several questions about the 3702i AP and the WSM that do not seem to be answered in the data sheets/documentation.
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    1. Is the WSM officially supported on the 3702 AP? The documentation seems to conflict on this.
    For example, at the top of the WSM data sheet: "Flexible add-on third radio module for the Cisco Aironet 3600i or Cisco Aironet 3600e Series Access Points". Then later on in the page graphic shows the 3700 series radios too. I have found multiple pages that have similar conflicting information.
    2. Can the WSM be used WITHOUT MSE and Cisco Prime? If so, are there any limitations?
    3. How does the licensing work? Where is the license installed -- WLC, MSE, Prime? Do ANY of the features work without the license?
    3a. How do you order the license? The SKU listed on the data sheet (L-WIPS-MM-1AP) is not a valid part number in CCW.
    4. Is it possible to do sniffing with a WSM? (the idea being not having to dedicate an AP to sniffing, or taking down a client-serving AP to sniff)
    Thank you.

    Ok, so you are talking about off-channel scanning, which is actually a very short duration 50ms, that the AP is actually off-channel to scan.
    http://mrncciew.com/2013/03/16/configuring-rrm/
    Are you thinking of this bullet point?
     Access points with wireless security module: The Cisco Aironet® Access Point Module for Wireless Security aggressively scans all channels without affecting the data-serving radios in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
    To me, that's just saying that the WSM is scanning and not interferring with the AP's normal radios.
    HTH,
