SUSE Manager/InterServerSync
- 1 New Features in SUSE Manager 1.7
- 2 Installation Instructions
- 3 Inter Server Sync
- 4 CVE Audit
- 5 CSV Separator
New Features in SUSE Manager 1.7
This betatest comes with the latest upcoming features for SUSE Manager 1.7, which includes support for:
- Inter Server Sync - connect a SUSE Manager Server to another SUSE Manager Server instead of NCC for content distribution
- CVE Audit - find out which systems need to be patched for a given CVE identifier
- CSV Separator - for downloadable CSV files, choose a separator for better compatibility with the used spreadsheet software
Installation Instructions
Stop spacewalk services
$> spacewalk-service stop
Update already installed packages
$> zypper ar -f http://beta.suse.com/private/SUSE-Manager-beta/features/inter-server-sync manager-beta $> zypper dup --from manager-beta
Schema upgrade
$> spacewalk-schema-upgrade
Start spacewalk services
$> spacewalk-service start
Inter Server Sync
Configure the Master Server to Accept Connections From Slaves
A SUSE Manager Server does by default not allow any other SUSE Manager Server to connect, this needs to be allowed explicitly.
In order to do that, modify /etc/rhn/rhn.conf and add the hostnames of allowed slaves to allowed_iss_slaves options:
# Use this option if this server is intended to be a master # Comma separated list of allowed iss slaves, like: allowed_iss_slaves=slave1.example.com,slave2.example.com
Additionally take care, that the option disable_iss is set to '0'.
After changing the config, please restart the SUSE Manager Server:
$> spacewalk-service restart
Now you need to refresh the NCC Sync data with:
$> mgr-ncc-sync --refresh
Configure the SUSE Manager Slave Server
A SUSE Manager Slave Server connect only to its master server. A Connection to NCC is not needed.
During Initial Setup
We have enhanced the yast module which setup a SUSE Manager Server to be able to setup a Slave server. To test this, please install a new SUSE Manager Server from the appliance ISO and update all the packages before you start the yast module:
Update already installed packages:
$> zypper ar -f http://beta.suse.com/private/SUSE-Manager-beta/features/inter-server-sync manager-beta $> zypper dup --from manager-beta
Setup SUSE Manager Server:
$> yast2 susemanager_setup
You will see that the screen with the NCC credentials has changed. You can select between
- Connect to NCC
- Connect to SUSE Manager for inter-server sync
Choose Connect to SUSE Manager for inter-server sync. The additional field Parent Server Name will be enabled. Enter the FQDN of the master server there.
The NCC Mirror Credential Username and Password needs to be the same as the first credential on the master Server.
Use the Test button to test if the credentials are working.
Manual Setup
If you have an already setup SUSE Manager Server you want to connect as a slave, you need to configure it manually.
Update the Server using the same steps as described above in Installation Instruction (Server).
Modify /etc/rhn/rhn.conf and set iss_parent to the FQDN of the master server.
Check, if /etc/ssl/certs/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.pem already exists. If yes, you need to rename it:
$> mv /etc/ssl/certs/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.pem /etc/ssl/certs/OWN-SUSE-MANAGER-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.pem $> c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs/
Download the SSL CA Certificate:
$> curl -o /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT "http://FQDN.ISS.PARENT/pub/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT"
Trust this certificate:
$> ln -s /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT /etc/ssl/certs/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.pem $> c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs/
Restart the SUSE Manager Server
$> spacewalk-service restart
Initialize the SUSE Manager Server
$> mgr-ncc-sync --refresh
Use Inter Server Sync
On a SUSE Manager Slave the functions of mgr-ncc-sync are limited. The tool you should use to sync channels is now mgr-inter-sync. (This is a symlink to satellite-sync)
List available channels:
$> mgr-inter-sync --list-channels
Sync a channel:
$> mgr-inter-sync --channel <channel label>
Refresh all channels which are available in this server:
$> mgr-inter-sync
Forward Registrations to NCC
Slave server forward the registrations to NCC by using the parent as a proxy. A SUSE Manager Server acting as a parent accept register and de-register operations and forward them directly to his parent. The first SUSE Manager Server will send these requests to NCC and return the answer back the chain to the original requesting server.
There are some checks implemented which needs to be passed before a SUSE Manager Server forward such a request. It checks, if the requesting slave is in the allowed list and it checks the user and password. These must match the first configured mirror credential.
Known Issues
- Register a SUSE Manager Slave to its parent and get updates from the parent is currently not supported. Beta testers: please tell us if this is a valid scenario or use-case for you!
CVE Audit
Post Installation
CVE Audit needs to refresh data needed for the search periodically in the background in order to produce correct results. This is scheduled, by default, at 11:00 PM every night. You should manually schedule a run, right after installation, in order to get proper results without waiting until the next day:
- Go to the "Admin" page
- Click on "Task schedules" from the left menu
- Click on the "cve-server-channels-default" schedule link
- Click on the "cve-server-channels-bunch" bunch link
- Click on the "Single Run Schedule" button
- After some minutes, refresh the page and check that the scheduled run status is FINISHED.
A direct link is also available in the CVE Audit for your convenience.
Typical Usage
A typical use-case of this feature looks like that:
- Go to the Audit page
- Input a 13-char CVE identifier
- Optionally, uncheck patch statuses you are not interested in (see below)
- Click on "Audit systems"
A list of systems is displayed, where each system comes with a "Patch Status" describing its situation regarding the given CVE identifier. Possible statuses are:
- Affected, patch available in a channel which is not assigned: the system is affected by the vulnerability and SUSE Manager has a patch for it, but at this moment, that channel is not assigned to the system itself.
- Affected, patch available in an assigned channel: the system is affected by the vulnerability, SUSE Manager has a patch for it in a channel that is directly assigned to the system.
- Not affected: the system does not have any packages installed that would be patchable.
- Patched: a patch has already been installed.
For a more precise definition of these statuses, see Notes. If the CVE number is not known to SUSE Manager, an error notice is displayed, as Manager is not able to produce any audit data in that case.
For each system, the "Next Action" column contains suggestions on the steps to take in order to address vulnerabilities (installing a certain patch or assigning a new channel). When applicable, a list of "candidate" channels or patches is also displayed for your convenience.
You can also assign systems to a System Set for further batch work.
API Usage
An API method is available to run CVE audits from custom scripts,
audit.listSystemsByPatchStatus. Details on how to use it are available in the API guide.
As stated above audit results are correct only if the assignment of channels to systems did not change since the last scheduled refresh (normally, at 23:00 every night). If a CVE audit is needed and channels were assigned or unassigned to any system during the day, a manual run is recommended.
Systems are said to be "affected", "not affected" or "patched" not in an absolute sense, but based on information that SUSE Manager knows about. This implies that concepts such as "affectedness to a vulnerability" have particular meanings in this context and more precisely, the following definitions apply:
- system affected by a certain vulnerability: a system which has an installed package with version lower than the version of the same package in a relevant patch marked for the vulnerability;
- system not affected by a certain vulnerability: a system which has no installed package that is also in a relevant patch marked for the vulnerability;
- system patched for a certain vulnerability: a system which has an installed package with version equal to or greater than the version of the same package in a relevant patch marked for the vulnerability;
- relevant patch: a patch known by SUSE Manager in a relevant channel;
- relevant channel: a channel managed by SUSE Manager which is either assigned to the system, the original of a cloned channel which is assigned to the system, a channel linked to a product which is installed to the system or a past or future service pack channel for the system.
A notable consequence of the above definitions is that results can be inccorrect in cases of unmanaged channels, unmanaged packages and/or noncompliant systems.
Known Issues
- Bug: The state of the page is lost (the page resets itself) when clearing the system set on top of the page using the "Clear" button.
CSV Separator
The character that will be used as a delimiter in downloadable CSV files throughout SUSE Manager can now be configured per user. When navigating to "Your Preferences" on the "Overview" page, the following options are available:
- Comma (",", default)
- Semicolon (";", compatible with Microsoft® Excel®)
Whenever downloading a CSV file from anywhere within SUSE Manager, the configured separator character will be used as the delimiter.
Known Issues
- None

This post is a collection of links about the existence and consequences of the Dunbar number.
Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. No precise value has been proposed for Dunbar's number, but a commonly cited approximation is 150.
there is reason to believe that the social-networking sites will enable their users to burst past Dunbar's number for friends, just as humans have developed and harnessed technology to surpass their physical limits on speed, strength and the ability to process information.
What mainly goes up [in the number of Facebook contacts], therefore, is not the core network but the number of casual contacts that people track more passively. This corroborates Dr Marsden's ideas about core networks, since even those Facebook users with the most friends communicate only with a relatively small number of them.
So how many monkeys would you have to own before you couldn't remember their names? At what point, in your mind, do your beloved pets become just a faceless sea of monkey? Even though each one is every bit the monkey Slappy was, there's a certain point where you will no longer really care if one of them dies.
Zhou, Sornette, Hill & Dunbar:
Using fractal analysis, we identify with high statistical confidence a discrete hierarchy of group sizes with a preferred scaling ratio close to 3: rather than a single or a continuous spectrum of group sizes, humans spontaneously form groups of preferred sizes organized in a geometrical series approximating 3, 9, 27,…
The smallest, three to five, is a "clique": the number of people from whom you would seek help in times of severe emotional distress. The twelve to 20 group is the "sympathy group": people with which you have special ties. After that, 30 to 50 is the typical size of hunter-gatherer overnight camps, generally drawn from the same pool of 150 people. No matter what size company you work for, there are only about 150 people you consider to be "co-workers." The 500-person group is the "megaband," and the 1,500-person group is the "tribe." Fifteen hundred is roughly the number of faces we can put names to, and the typical size of a hunter-gatherer society.

Pistons beat Wolves on Smith's 3-pointer
Send a link to a friend
[October 25, 2013]
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)
Josh Smith made a 3-pointer as time expired and finished with 20 points to lift the Detroit Pistons to a 99-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in both teams' exhibition finale.
J.J. Barea's layup with 3.6 seconds left gave the Timberwolves (4-3) a 98-96 lead but Smith, who got the ball out of a timeout, launched his shot in the final second. It hit the rim and fell in as the horn sounded.
Greg Monroe and Will Bynum each added 17 points, rookie Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 13 and Andre Drummond grabbed 20 rebounds for the Pistons (4-4).
Kevin Love had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Kevin Martin added 18 points for Minnesota on a night both coaches gave their younger players plenty of playing time.

anything by Vertical Horizon puts me in a great mood
90s rock is where it's at
Pull Harder - Trivium. My favorite song of ALL time.
My brother may well agree.
Me on the other hand: Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Godsmack, Rush, mainly. A few other bands too. But those are the big four.
Alot of Tenacious D stuff makes me happy, and alot of humor based music
Whew!! This is a tough one for me there are many kind s of music that make happy. Everything from Vivaldi and Pachbel Canon in D to Cyndi Laupher, Pat Benatar, to Enya. I can't single out one type of music that make sme happy. Many tunes lift my spirit!
Type of music? Any type of J-pop always makes me hap-happy!
Bats just loves Heavy Rock music and since it's been 5yrs since Bowie has releasted anything
I'm listening to my other Music just love Well Balanced by Oliver Shanti,and a musicial written
by John English the story of ,, Paris,,loved what is written under Paris
He Trusted in the Gods
He Should have Known Better,
Hmm... the score for Watchmen is pretty awesome.
Darth Vader Rap both versions of it cracks me up sometimes one is called the Death Star Rap. Regardless both songs makes me feel good - laughable
Kids by MGMT. It gets me in a good mood by reminding of people that I love.
I also enjoy a lot of brutal music, like the Deathcore genre. It gets me PUMPED!

Steve Reich at 75: World Premiere of WTC 9/11
Carnegie Hall To Host "Music of Steve Reich," a 75th Birthday Tribute Concert Featuring Three New York Premieres; Additional Music Festivals to Feature Reich's Music Throughout 2011
Steve Reich — one of America's most celebrated and influential composers — will be honored with concerts around the globe in 2011 to mark his 75th birthday, including performances in Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Poland. Marking this anniversary, the legendary Kronos Quartet will perform the world premiere of Reich's new work, WTC 9/11, at Duke Performances in Durham, North Carolina on March 19, 2011. The new composition will be performed again at Costa Mesa's Orange County Performing Arts Center (April 6), the University of Maryland's Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center (April 10) and at New York's Carnegie Hall (April 30). The Carnegie Hall event will include a larger celebration of Reich's works, performed by long-time artistic collaborators and friends: Bang on a Can All-Stars, eighth blackbird, So Percussion, along with the Kronos Quartet.
WTC 9/11 integrates a live quartet performance with two additional pre-recorded quartets and pre-recorded voices using stop action sound as a "means of connecting one person to another – harmonically," in the composer's words. The work reflects on the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, when Reich and his family lived only blocks away from the site of the tragedy, and uses texts from participants in the composition.
In addition to WTC 9/11, the Kronos Quartet concert at Duke Performances offers Reich's complete works for string quartet, Different Trains and Triple Quartet, along with an arrangement of selections from his stage work The Cave. Kronos's recording of Different Trains won a Grammy Award in 1990 for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. WTC 9/11 is Reich's third major commission for the Kronos Quartet.
On April 30, 2011, Carnegie Hall will host the Music of Steve Reich, a special tribute concert showcasing four recent works by the composer. The evening will feature Double Sextet (performed by eighth blackbird and guests) and the New York premieres of Mallet Quartet (So Percussion), 2x5 (Bang on a Can All-Stars and Friends), and WTC 9/11 (Kronos Quartet). The composer was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2009 for Double Sextet, which is available on an album with 2x5 via Nonesuch Records (video of 2x5 rehearsal footage can be found here; audio samples of both works available here).
Reich's relationship with Carnegie Hall stretches nearly four decades, dating back to his debut there in 1973 playing Four Organs with the Boston Symphony Orchestra led by Michael Tilson Thomas. Since then, Carnegie Hall has played host to several debut performances of his works, including the world premiere of Variations for Winds, String and Keyboards (chamber version); the U.S. premieres of Octet, Music for a Large Ensemble, and Daniel Variations; and the New York premieres of Cello Counterpoint, Three Movements for Orchestra, Different Trains (version for string orchestra and pre-recorded tape), and Double Sextet.
Steve Reich's WTC 9/11 was commissioned for the Kronos Quartet by the Barbican/London, Carnegie Hall, Duke Performances/Duke University, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. This commission was also made possible by the Chamber Music America Commissioning Program, with funding generously provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and the Chamber Music America Endowment Fund.

Gross spread(redirected from Underwriter Discounts)
Gross spread
The fraction of the gross proceeds of an underwritten securities offering that is paid as compensation to the underwriters of the offering.
Gross Spread
In a public offering, the difference between the price an underwriter pays an issuer and the price at which it sells the offering to the public. That is, an underwriter pays the issuer an agreed-upon price to purchase an issue, which it then attempts to place with investors. When it places the issue, it charges the investor a certain price like any other trade. The difference is known as the gross spread; it forms the bulk of an underwriting firm's profits. See also: Fully subscribed, Overbooked, Underbooked.
gross spread
The difference in the price that an investor pays for a new security issue and the price paid the issuer by the lead underwriter. The gross spread is a function of a number of variables including the size of the issue and the riskiness, or price volatility, of the security. Also called underwriting spread.
Gross spread.
In an initial public offering (IPO), the gross spread is the difference between what the underwriters pay the issuing company per share and the per share price that investors pay. It's usually about 7%.
For example, if a stock is to be offered to the public at $10 a share, the underwriters may pay the issuing company around $9.30 per share. With millions of shares being sold, the 70 cents per share adds up to millions of dollars for the investment bank.

Watching Roy Halladay pitch masterfully in the Jays' 4-1 win in Arlington last night, we couldn't shake the image of seeing Doc writhing on the ground after taking a Kevin Mench liner to his leg a couple of years back. Yikes.
This was Halladay's best start of the year by far, perhaps aided and abetted by a generously wide strike zone by home plate umpire Laz Diaz. (As always, we defer to Hale to confirm whether if our eyes were lying to us.)
Incidentally, to all of the baseball scribes who have referred to Halladay as "brittle" or "injury-prone", we'd like to point out that he has missed time primarily because of that freaky line drive off the leg and his uppity appendix last year (which he ripped out with his bare hands, then returned to pitch three weeks later). So, no: Not so brittle, not so much.

Dolly Parton Raps on 'The Queen Latifah Show'
Dolly Parton is a woman of many talents. But did you know she can rap? The country music treasure proved her rap prowess and demonstrated her skills in another genre in this preview clip from her upcoming appearance on 'The Queen Latifah Show.'
Parton, who was introduced by the host as coming straight outta the 'Ville --as in "Nashville"-- twerked, a fad popularized by her goddaughter Miley Cyrus. She also showed off a massive hairstyle.
Parton penned the rap track specifically for her appearance on the show. So it was a custom rap, designed expressly for Latifah and her audience.
The singer was clearly having a good time, even as she boasted about being the Queen of Dollywood and about working her, uh, assets. She even giggled a few times, mid-rap.
She referenced current Southern pop culture figures, like Honey Boo Boo, the folks of 'Duck Dynasty' and more. She also joked about Cyrus and threw a few good-natured jabs at Latifah, who was clearly loving every minute of it. Parton's rap "disses" were all in good fun.
Parton, with her big, frizzy hair, looked in tip-top shape, too. Her performance was incredibly entertaining and she was infinitely cute.
Parton's episode airs this coming Monday, Oct. 21 on CBS. Check your local listings.
