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.

If you are having problem start up vmware player on Fedora 19 after upgrade kernel to 3.10, here is the solution. Basically it is due to the procfs interface and vmnet not able to compiles. First download the procfs patch from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/446113?start=0&tstart=0 .If you don't have time to read the forum, here is the link of the procfs patch. Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar # cd vmnet-only # wget  http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2239207-108590/procfs.patch # patch -p1 < procfs.patch # cd .. # tar -cvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/ # cp vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ This will patch the procfs interface. Secondly download the vmnet patch from http://mysticalzero.blogspot.com/2013/07/vmblock-patch-for-linux-310-vmware.html . The link of the patch is here . Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmblock.tar

If you run hping command without root permission or without sudo and you receive this error : [open_sockraw] socket(): Operation not permitted [main] can't open raw socket This command might be able to help you. sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/bin/hping3 (or any location of the hping command) setcap command is to set file capabilities. What are filesystem capabilities?    For the purpose of performing permission checks, traditional Unix implementations distinguish two categories of processes: privileged processes (whose effective user ID is 0, referred to as superuser or root), and unprivileged processes (whose effective UID is non-zero). Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks, while unprivileged processes are subject to full permission checking based on the process's credentials (usually: effective UID, effective GID, and supplementary group list).  Starting with kernel 2.2, Linux divides the privileges traditionally associated with super
