ldapvi is so wonderful. No Java/Python/PHP for browsing LDAP trees and the power of vi for LDAP administration. Nevertheless, today I had difficulty for deleting a facsimileTelephoneNumber attribute:
$ ldapvi
Action? [yYqQvVebB*rsf+?] y
ldap_modify: Inappropriate matching (18)
additional info: modify/delete: facsimileTelephoneNumber: no equality matching rule
Here is the LDIF change tried by ldapvi:
dn: uid=foo,ou=people,dc=evolix,dc=net
changetype: modify
delete: facsimileTelephoneNumber
facsimileTelephoneNumber: 0000
After a little search on the web, I find the reason on
openldap-bugs list archives:
Since the schema definition of facsimileTelephoneNumber has no matching rule
defined, the only modifications you can make are Replace or Delete w/ no
values.
facsimileTelephone attribute actually doesn t have SYNTAX definition. See in core.ldif file:
Number olcAttributeTypes: ( 2.5.4.23 NAME ( 'facsimileTelephoneNumber' 'fax' )
DESC 'RFC2256: Facsimile (Fax) Telephone Number'
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.22 )
By default, ldapvi tries to delete a specific value (even if there is only one value) for an attribute. But according documentation, it s impossible to delete only one of values for facsimileTelephoneNumber attribute!
Note: for deleting all values of facsimileTelephoneNumber attribute, the LDIF change must be:
dn: uid=foo,ou=people,dc=evolix,dc=net
changetype: modify
delete: facsimileTelephoneNumber
So, where was I on this
1978 picture or that
1979 picture?
The answer is: first row and 2nd from right on the 1978 picture and
3rd from right on the 1979 one.
Yes, that sleeping Gong fan who's recovering from his last joint would
actually be me, 18 years old.
(and, yes, I've been, and was at that time, a Gong fan and,
no, I never ever smoke pot....yes, that is possible...)
For this second round, three people found the answer: congrats to
Rhonda, St phane Blondon and
Gregory Colpart.
Another point release for Etch has been done; now it's the time for the CD
team to roll out new images after the next mirror pulse. The official
announcements (prepared by Alexander Reichle-Schmehl, thanks!) will follow
shortly afterwards. FTP master of the day was Joerg Jaspert, who
did his first point release since Woody, as he told us on IRC. We
appreciate your work and you spending your time that shortly before
going to Argentina.
This point release includes the etchnhalf update introducing a new kernel
image (based on 2.6.24) and some driver updates. Additionally the
infamous openssl hole will be fixed for good, even for new installs.
Again I want to present you a list of people who contributed to this
release. It cannot be complete as I got the information out of the
