Which groups are still necessary?

Hello guys,
from the beginning of my arch usage I'd put myself into the groups the beginners guide recommended. But which of them are today still useful and which of them simply unneeded?
Here's my list of groups I'm in:
[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ groups
network video audio optical storage users abs
To concretise my question: would my network still work when I'm not in network or would my intel graphic setup with kms display everything correctly when I'm not in video? Would I have sound without audio group? [...]
Best regards

Hmm...  never really thought about it.   It is the default bahaviour in Fedora/Ret Hat.

users
Does anyone actually find the users group useful?  Especially if everyone is a member....    Giving everyone permission for something can be handled with standard file permssions.

  • How to find which devices are still using affected domain controller

    Hi Everyone,
    We have a 5 Domain controller's in a Site. And we are going to decommisson one of our affected DC in a site.
    Can you please let me know how to find  the log files to see which devices are still using this domain controller.
    Regards,

    Neel,
    From strictly an Active Directory perspective, there is nothing special you need to do to decommission a domain controller in a site.  There are many processes that automatically balance out and recreate connections as needed without any user intervention. 
    The DC Locator process will automatically direct clients to active domain controllers, there is nothing you need to do here. 
    What you need to be concerned with are things like the following:
    DNS - Are you running AD integrated DNS and is the DC you are decommissioning hosting that roll - if so, is it the ONLY DC in the
    site that is running DNS?  You'll need at least one in the site.
    DHCP server - Is the DC you are demoting a DHCP server?  You'll need to account for that.
    Global Catalog - Is the DC you are demoting a Global Catalog server?  You'll need at least one in the site.
    File Shares - Is the DC hosting any files shares?  You'll need to move those and make sure you redirect your clients.
    Was this DC a set as a Preferred Bridgehead Server?  You'll need to undo that first.
    Those are the big ones that come to mind.  Decommissioning a DC is easy if you have prepared properly.  The others that have replied have offered some great advice which you should follow.  Do your homework and you should be fine.
    Hope that helps

  • Which Groups are used?

    Hi everybody!
    I have the issue that a colleague of mine synchronized a whole bunch of ldap-groups into vibe. The Problem is that I want to clean the system up now, but I don't know which groups are in use and which are not. Is there a way to see a list of used groups or something like that?
    greetings lJack

    not directly. you can look in the access rights of a folder which group is connected to it. otherwise you have to build a sql script on database with the id of groups relating to the binder_id of a workspace. depending how large your installation is.

  • Google Contacts API 2.0: Add option to select which groups are synced

    This has been a requested issue for quite some time now:
    *1) Add an option to control what Google Contact groups are synced in ITunes*
    Currently, if you sync to Google Contacts, iTunes will pull in EVERY contact from your Google Contact list. That includes those contacts filed under "Suggested Contacts", which lists contacts you email on a frequent basis. The workaround for this is to delete your Suggested contacts every time you sync your iPhone, or risk the issue of having hundreds of new junk contacts in your iPhone.
    I understand that there was an issue in the Google API before, the issue being that there was no way to distinguish between which group the contacts were coming from. That issue is now gone, it was corrected in the update of the Google API to 2.0 on December 12th. Now, when syncing, the ability to distinguish which groups the contacts exist in is there. Below is the documentation of those changes:
    http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/2.0/developers_guide.html
    With Google's update, the iTunes implementation of syncing Google Contacts can allow the selection of only specific groups to sync.
    As said before, this is basic functionality that has been requested by many for a long time (search Google if you don't believe me), and I hope and pray that the wonderful iTunes/iPhone gods will bestow upon us the ability to select Google Contact groups in the near future. Are there any plans to add this functionality? If so, when might we expect an update?

    Hello Blindbug.
    I do apologize. But this is a user to user community. And no one here knows when or if certain features or products will be released unless there has already been a public announcement by that company released for everyone to view and read.
    If I can be so kind as to refer you to iPhone feedback below. And you may wish to also spend some time going to google's site and submitting feedback as well.

  • Where do I go to find which JVMs are still supported?

    We're using some pretty old JVMs at my company. I fear they are so old they are unsupported by Sun. To get modernized, I need to let someone know this.
    If someone could direct me to a resource where I could determine this I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks. From your reply I was able to find this:

    Does anyone have an estimate on when 1.4.2 will EOL? That's our production JVM.

  • How do I identify the songs in my Library that are still in .wav format?

    Probably about 1/4 of the songs that I have loaded into my iPod are still in .wav format, and I need to convert them to .acc to free up some space. Is there an easy way to identify what songs are in .wav so that I can convert them all at once, or do I have to go song by song with "Get Info" to find out which ones are still .wav?

    Goto the main library in itunes.
    Now goto edit>view options and select "Kind"
    You should now see this header in the main library. Hit the header once to have the list organized by kind. Roll down to the first sone that is WAV and highlight it. Now roll down to the last listing of WAV hold the shift key and select/highlight it. THis should highlight all the WAV files. Let go of any keys, rightclick and select "Convert to AAC".
    This will make COPIES of all songs in AAC format. Go back and repeat the steps of highlighting the WAV files and hit the Del key on the keyboard, this should remove the listing from iTUnes AND offer you the option to move these files to the recycle bin

  • Which keyframes are necessary for moving items and text?

    When moving text, do you need a center keyframe, a scale keyframe? Which ones are necessary? I usually add both not knowing for sure if they are needed.
    Thanks.

    What if you want to add keyframes at various places during a video segment or a still image and have it scale up and down at these different keyframes.
    Can this all be done on the same clip? Example: I place a keyframe at the beginning of the clip and 5 seconds into the clip I scale it up and then I want to scale it back to normal at 10 seconds, and then do a pan from left to right at 15 second, etc.
    Is the right way to do this to simply add keyframes on the same clip for each motion property I want to apply? Or should this be done somehow with copies of the same clip on different layers? How would you do this?
    Thanks.

  • Any way to see which contacts are NOT in a group?

    Hi. In Contacts in Yosemite, is there any way to see a list of contacts who are not in a particular Group?
    I've been using Macs for years, and I still can't believe that this is not a fundamental feature.  Sure, it's good to know which contacts are in a Group.  But it's maybe even more important to know which contacts are not in that Group.  (Scanning a list of non-members for people who should be members is a simple task.  Scanning All Contacts for people who should be in a Group, then checking each and every one to see whether they are in that Group, is a crazy way to spend time.  Sure you can dump it out to Excel or something, but...really?)  Not having that feature in a contacts-management app is almost unthinkable, and yet...I've been poking around for years to find it in Contacts.  So I'm hoping that Yosemite now has it, but I haven't been able to find it.
    Sorry to rant. Thanks!

  • ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

    After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
    iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
    is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

    Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
    If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock.  You will then be given a "Choose Library" option.  Choose it and point to your library.

  • Updated to LR 5.4, images now importing extremely slow. After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast.

    After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast. Canon,Nikon, Leica and Fuji files all rendering slow. iMac 2.9 ghz 16gb RAM OSX 10.8.5. Catalogs and images are kept on external drives. Drives running fine. Really need a fix on this since I'm norally imported and processing at least 4,000 images per LR Catalog. Is there way to revert back to 5.3? I can't use 5.4 is its current state. Thanks.

    Download LR 5.3 and install it
    By the way, lots of people have this complaint about LR 5.4, and the advice I give is to use LR 5.3 unless you need one of the new camera models supported by LR 5.4

  • Ldap schema extension to control which users / group are imported

    Hello,
    would like to have your opinion:
    would it be a good idea to implement ldap schema extensions to control
    which users / group are imported and controlled from ldap in a ldap
    mastered installation?
    e.g. we could implement the following schema extension for users:
    attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.<iana-org-id>.1.1 NAME ( 'BogusisBeehiveUser' )
         DESC ''
    EQUALITY booleanMatch
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7
    SINGLE-VALUE )
    # BogusinetOrgPerson
    # The BogusinetOrgPerson is derived from inetOrgPerson
    objectclass     ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.<iana-org-id>.1
    NAME 'BogusinetOrgPerson'
         DESC 'RFC2798: Internet Organizational Person, plus Bogus Extensions'
    SUP inetOrgPerson
    STRUCTURAL
         MAY (
              BogusisBeehiveUser )
    Then we could control the inclusion in beehive by simply switching
    BogusisBeehiveUser on or off.

    sure; that's pretty much what is talked about in the Install Guide for LDAP Integration under the "inclusion and exclusion" section, about here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14897_01/bh.100/e14830/ldap.htm#CHDEFFJF
    that doesn't go into the specifics of how you might want to design your objectClass schemas, though, as beehive is agnostic to that.
    If you don't want to provision all users that match a certain existing rule (like everyone under dn=foo, or everyone where userType=employee), then adding a new attribute and building the profile inclusion rule around it is a valid thing to do.

  • I set in prefferances plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

    I set in preferences plug-ins. Show all filter gallery groups and names, but they are still light gray and not selectable

    They are being shown.  When Photoshop gray out items it means in the documents current state  that item is not supported,  Get the document into a state that the grayed out filters can be used.  Some filters mat not support some modes like CMYK. 32bit color, Lab etc. They seem to be listed but nor currently applicable. Note whem no document is open all are grayed out the when a simple clipboard image is open all are available.
