You don’t currently have permission to access this folder.

Problem : Whenever trying to access files or folders which current login account don't have permission but belong to administrator group, the system will prompt : You don’t currently have permission to access this folder. If you click continue button , the system will add the current login account into the ACL which you might want it to happen because this will mess up your ACL. Solution : Run Explorer.exe as administrator. You might see some solution suggest to run explorer.exe as administrator. If you create a shortcut at desktop to launch the explorer.exe and right click select Run As Administrator. But soon or later you will notice the problem still remain. After searching around , I found the trick which a lot of them didn't mention in their answer. The trick : Modify the registry. Changing the registry setting “RunAs” to “_RunAs” in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{CDCBCFCA-3CDC-436f-A4E2-0E02075250C2} . Tested on my machine , this trick is working. Solution found from here : htt

Trick and Tips when bash script dealing date

This is some tricks and tips I found when I searching around google. Getting Yesterdays or Tomorrows day with shell date command. When invoked without arguments, the date command displays the current date and time. Depending on the options specified, date will set the date and time or print it in a user defined way. I’ve seen many people writing a perl script for calculating yesterday or tomorrow. Computer loves numbers but we love relative terms like 2 days ago. Luckily GNU date command is designed to handle relative date calculation. Why use relative date formats? * Ease of use * To write your own scripts * Automate task using cron (example run a job on last day of the month or Nth day of the month or 3rd Friday and so on) First, print today's date: $ date Sun Jun 17 12:17:24 CDT 2007 Now display Yesterday's date: $ date --date="1 days ago" OR try: $ date --date="yesterday" Sat Jun 16 12:17:20 CDT 2007 Now display Tomorrow's date: $ date --

Repair Openldap database

If you come across this problem like me , this might be able to help you. When ever I restart the openldap daemon at my CentOS server , I received this error : Checking configuration files for slapd: bdb_db_open: unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery. bdb_db_open: Recovery skipped in read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are encountered. If you issue command slapcat , you might be able to start the openldap without any error. But after you stop the openldap daemon , you start the openldap daemon again , you will receive the same error again. Then you might think of this command : slapd_db_recover . If you use this command , you might face the same scenario. How I solve the issue about this openldap error is issue the following command in sequence . slapcat slapd_db_recover -h /var/lib/ldap Then try to start your openldap daemon again , you might find it working. ---

Download and install Cisco SDM

This is the link where you can download the SDM without need to register an account at CISCO.

So here is the link , which you can click and download without any question. ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/web/sdm/ If you need a guide on how to install SDM , here is a good guide. http://www.ciscobible.net/archives/754 Hope this two page will help you to setup the Cisco SDM at your desktop. Another tips before I forget , if you connect to the device using ssh tunnel, most of the time you will access localhost , remember to use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 , using ip address will cause the SDM failed to launch. ---

run tiger (mac os x 10.4.1) in vmware or virtualbox

I found this article and found it useful, so write it down before I forget. http://www.aegisryan.com/2005/09/11/simplest-installation-of-mac-osx86-in-vmware/ The guide above is very simple , use p2p to download the vmware image , extract it and launch with vmware , then you will get a running tiger (mac os x 10.4.1). But I try it with vmware player 3.0, the performance is very bad. And also the network card is not working. Then after google around , I found that virtualbox had better support , so I try it with Virtualbox 3.1.4 Open source edition, the performance much more better and consider usable. Without much more modification , I can start browsing. One trick is you have to press F8 during boot menu and enter : platform=x86pc , otherwise the boot process will hang at acpi detection. Now have another problem is wanted to update it from version 10.4.1 to 10.4.11 seem no possible , because tiger support intel chip only start from 10.4.4 , so officially there is no updater which can u

Postfix restricting users to send mails to certain domains or their own domain

Follow the steps suggested in postfix wiki will be able to restrict a list of users for sending emails to limited domains. http://postfix.wiki.xs4all.nl/index.php?title=Client_sender_recipient_restrictions To add on on the wiki , we can replace the ip address with the user email address. For example : Instead of #/etc/postfix/restricted_clients #Add the list of IP addresses which cannot send emails outside 192.168.0.11 local_only 192.168.0.12 local_only change it to #/etc/postfix/restricted_clients user@yourdomain.com local_only user2@yourdomain.com local_only The rest is the same , just try to restrict by user account instead of ip address. Zimbra is using postfix as it smtp daemon , so these two guides might help us to have better understanding : http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Restrict_users_to_certain_domain http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=Restrict_sending_to_certain_domains ---

Checking root LVM partition

If one day you are facing the problem that I am having now , the following information might be very useful. I am using Fedora 12 and I suspect the root partition some how corrupted or facing bad sector issue power failure. Here is my solution: 1. Boot from Fedora 12 installation CD or DVD , select rescue installed system option. 2. Skip the mount volume step. You can't check file system when a volume is mounted. 3. When you are at the shell prompt, issue the following command. It will activate the LVM volume. lvm vgchange --ignorelockingfailure -P -a y 4. If you don't know the volume name , you can use the following command to list all the LVM volume. lvm lvs 5. then you can issue the following command to check for bad sector. I assume you are using ext4 file system for root partition. fsck.ext4 -c /dev/VolGroup/logVol00 Hope this will help. ---

Flash Aztech dsl600ew firmware with Router Tech

I just successfully flash my Aztech DSL600EW router's firmware with Router Tech Firmware. First upgrade firmware to official firmware 66.53.2-002 , if you need to download one , you might be able to find it at modem help web site. Then download the Router Tech firmware - routertech-ar7wrd-adam2-firmware-4ports-20100105.zip , I tested with this version and it is working. Using the web interface to upgrade the gateway reboot and run. The LED configuration might not correct by default , so telnet into the router , issue command : setenv led_conf led.sar600 && /sbin/reboot , the led colour should be back to normal. In case if you flash the firmware wrongly, you can refer to this URL : http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=374&pgno=2 to restore the router back to official firmware. ---

How to convert avi to flv in Linux.

I did a couple of tests and these are the results that I've come up with. Needless to say that I am no expert, they are personal opinions, see them as a starting point. In the examples we will convert ".avi" to ".flv", and simply copy the sound. avi properties: codec: mpeg4 (lavc) DX50 bitrate: I think its VBR (variable bit rate) resolution: 640x480 frames per second: 30fps video size: 5.4MB sound: mp3 sound size: 1MB total SIZE: 6.4MB The tool we will be using is called ffmpeg. It's a command line application, but very simple to use. Probably already installed in your computer We use the cd command to guide the terminal to the folder where the "input.avi" file is. example: cd /home/username/Video A typical command, then, would be: explanation: ffmpeg the program -i input.avi the input file -b 1024k the output bitrate -s 320x240 the output resolution -r 25 the output frames per second -acodec copy the output audio codec movie_1024_320_25_.flv the o
