In September that year Ukraine won the gold once more at the 2010 Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk with players Vassily Ivanchuk, Ruslan Ponomariov, Pavel Eljanov, Zahar Efimenko, and Alexander Moiseenko.
In June 2011 he won the 80th Ukrainian Championship, the strongest ever in the country, with 8.5/11 and a performance rating of 2853.

Would they buy this item again? Yes
This is my second purchase, this time in a gallon. I alternate this with regular ONR on my weekly washes. It's a fantastic product that leaves my paint clean and shiny. The wax portion of this wash leaves a nice protective later that beads up in the rain. It's a great between wax touch up and has had no negative interaction with any other wax or sealers I have used.

I had just bought and used the ONR when I found out about the ONRWW. I have to say I am loving it. I am cleaning 2 cars at a time and it is so quick and efficient. I bought the gallon container so I wouldn't run out. This stuff is the best.
Reviewed by Ace M. on 2/11/2013
Would they buy this item again? Yes
After reading countless reviews of the regular ONR, I decided to go and "splurge" on the gallon container of ONRWW. I was able to wash my car inside the comfort of my garage and the car turned out amazing. The stuff did not scratch the paint and left a rich gloss finish as if I had spent hours waxing it. I'm extremely happy with the product, and glad that I bought a gallon of the stuff instead of a smaller container.
Reviewed by Charles K. on 1/4/2013
Would they buy this item again? Yes
Well, believe it or not, ONR just got even better. I have been a a worshiper of the original and updated formulas of ONR and when this came out, I had to try it. This is great for those who wash their cars often but don't always feel like taping off the car and waxing away. This product still works great as a quick detailer and clay lube. Just be sure to follow the directions and wash one panel and then dry right away if using as a wash.

Centralized authentication using OpenLDAP
This guide introduces the basics of LDAP and shows you how to setup OpenLDAP for authentication purposes between a group of Gentoo boxes.

Getting Started with OpenLDAP
What is LDAP?
LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Based on X.500 it encompasses most of its primary functions, but lacks the more esoteric functions that X.500 has. Now what is this X.500 and why is there an LDAP?
X.500 is a model for Directory Services in the OSI concept. It contains namespace definitions and the protocols for querying and updating the directory. However, X.500 has been found to be overkill in many situations. Enter LDAP. Like X.500 it provides a data/namespace model for the directory and a protocol too. However, LDAP is designed to run directly over the TCP/IP stack. See LDAP as a slim-down version of X.500.
I don't get it. What is a directory?
A directory is a specialized database designed for frequent queries but infrequent updates. Unlike general databases they don't contain transaction support or roll-back functionality. Directories are easily replicated to increase availability and reliability. When directories are replicated, temporary inconsistencies are allowed as long as they get synchronised eventually.
How is information structured?
All information inside a directory is structured hierarchically. Even more, if you want to enter data inside a directory, the directory must know how to store this data inside a tree. Lets take a look at a fictional company and an Internet-like tree:
dc: com | dc: genfic ## (Organisation) / \ ou: People servers ## (Organisational Units) / \ .. uid: .. John ## (OU-specific data)
Since you don't feed data to the database in this ascii-art like manner, every node of such a tree must be defined. To name such nodes, LDAP uses a naming scheme. Most LDAP distributions (including OpenLDAP) already contain quite a number of predefined (and general approved) schemes, such as the inetorgperson, a frequently used scheme to define users.
Interested users are encouraged to read the OpenLDAP Admin Guide.
So... What's the Use?
LDAP can be used for various things. This document focuses on centralised user management, keeping all user accounts in a single LDAP location (which doesn't mean that it's housed on a single server, LDAP supports high availability and redundancy), yet other goals can be achieved using LDAP as well.
- Public Key Infrastructure
- Shared Calendar
- Shared Addressbook
- Storage for DHCP, DNS, ...
- System Class Configuration Directives (keeping track of several server configurations)
- ...
Configuring OpenLDAP
Initial Configuration
Let's first emerge OpenLDAP:
Now generate an encrypted password we'll use later on:
Now edit the LDAP Server config at /etc/openldap/slapd.conf. Below we'll give a sample configuration file to get things started. For a more detailed analysis of the configuration file, we suggest that you work through the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide.
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema pidfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.args ## serverID used in case of replication serverID 0 loglevel 0 ## ## Access Controls access to dn.base="" by * read access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read access to * by self write by users read by anonymous read ## ## Database definition database hdb suffix "dc=genfic,dc=com" checkpoint 32 30 rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=genfic,dc=com" ## ## rootpwd generated earlier via slappasswd command rootpw "{SSHA}EzP6I82DZRnW+ou6lyiXHGxSpSOw2XO4" directory "/var/lib/openldap-ldbm" index objectClass eq ## ## Synchronisation (pull from other LDAP server) syncrepl rid=000 provider=ldap://ldap2.genfic.com type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 +" searchbase="dc=genfic,dc=com" attrs="*,+" bindmethod="simple" binddn="cn=ldapreader,dc=genfic,dc=com" credentials="ldapsyncpass" index entryCSN eq index entryUUID eq mirrormode TRUE overlay syncprov syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
Next we edit the LDAP Client configuration file:
Now edit /etc/conf.d/slapd and set the following OPTS line:
OPTS="-h 'ldaps:// ldap:// ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fslapd.sock'"
Finally, create the /var/lib/openldap-ldbm structure:
You can test /etc/openldap/slapd.conf with the following command:
Vary the debug level (the "-d 1" above) for more info. If all goes well you will see: "config file testing succeeded". If there's an error, slaptest will list the line number in slapd.conf.
Start slapd:
You can test with the following command:
If you receive an error, try adding
-d 255 to increase the verbosity and solve the issue you have.
If you need high availability
If your environment requires high availability, then you need to setup replication of changes across multiple LDAP systems. Replication within OpenLDAP is, in this guide, set up using a specific replication account (
ldapreader ) which has read rights on the primary LDAP server and which pulls in changes from the primary LDAP server to the secondary.
This setup is then mirrored, allowing the secondary LDAP server to act as a primary. Thanks to OpenLDAP's internal structure, changes are not re-applied if they are already in the LDAP structure.
Setting Up Replication
To setup replication, first setup a second OpenLDAP server, similarly as above. However take care that, in the configuration file,
- the sync replication provider is pointing to the other system
- the serverID of each OpenLDAP system is different
Next, create the synchronisation account. We will create an LDIF file (the format used as data input for LDAP servers) and add it to each LDAP server:
Client Configuration
Migrate existing data to ldap
Configuring OpenLDAP for centralized administration and management of common Linux/Unix items isn't easy, but thanks to some tools and scripts available on the Internet, migrating a system from a single-system administrative point-of-view towards an OpenLDAP-based, centralized managed system isn't hard either.
Go to http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html and fetch the scripts there. You'll need the migration tools and the make_master.sh script.
Next, extract the tools and copy the make_master.sh script inside the extracted location:
The next step now is to migrate the information of your system to OpenLDAP. The make_master.sh script will do this for you, after you have provided it with the information regarding your LDAP structure and environment.
At the time of writing, the tools require the following input:
|LDAP BaseDN
|The base location (root) of your tree
|Mail domain
|Domain used in e-mail addresses
|Mail host
|FQDN of your mail server infrastructure
|LDAP Root DN
|Administrative account information for your LDAP structure
|LDAP Root Password
| Password for the administrative account, cfr earlier
slappasswd command
The tool will also ask you which accounts and settings you want to migrate.
Configuring PAM
First, we will configure PAM to allow LDAP authorization. Install sys-auth/pam_ldap so that PAM supports LDAP authorization, and sys-auth/nss_ldap so that your system can cope with LDAP servers for additional information (used by nsswitch.conf).
Now add the following lines in the right places to /etc/pam.d/system-auth:
## # Note: only add them. Don't kill stuff already in there or your box won't let you login again! auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass account sufficient pam_ldap.so password sufficient pam_ldap.so use_authtok use_first_pass session optional pam_ldap.so ## # Example file: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so account sufficient pam_ldap.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass use_authtok nullok md5 shadow password sufficient pam_ldap.so use_authtok use_first_pass password required pam_deny.so session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_ldap.so
Now change /etc/ldap.conf to read:
## #host 127.0.0.1 ## #base dc=padl,dc=com base dc=genfic,dc=com ## #rootbinddn uid=root,ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com bind_policy soft bind_timelimit 2 ldap_version 3 nss_base_group ou=Group,dc=genfic,dc=com nss_base_hosts ou=Hosts,dc=genfic,dc=com nss_base_passwd ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com nss_base_shadow ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com pam_filter objectclass=posixAccount pam_login_attribute uid pam_member_attribute memberuid pam_password exop scope one timelimit 2 uri ldap://ldap.genfic.com/ ldap://ldap1.genfic.com ldap://ldap2.genfic.com
Next, copy over the (OpenLDAP) ldap.conf file from the server to the client so the clients are aware of the LDAP environment:
Finally, configure your clients so that they check the LDAP for system accounts:
passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap
If you noticed one of the lines you pasted into your /etc/ldap.conf was commented out (the
rootbinddn line): you don't need it unless you want to change a user's password as superuser. In this case you need to echo the root password to /etc/ldap.secret in plaintext. This is DANGEROUS and should be chmoded to 600. What you might want to do is keep that file blank and when you need to change someone's password that's both in the ldap and /etc/passwd, put the pass in there for 10 seconds while changing the users password and remove it when done.
LDAP Server Security Settings
OpenLDAP permissions
If we take a look at /etc/openldap/slapd.conf you'll see that you can specify the ACLs (permissions if you like) of what data users can read and/or write:
access to attrs=userPassword,gecos,description,loginShell by self write access to * by dn="uid=root,ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com" write by users read by anonymous auth
This gives you access to everything a user should be able to change. If it's your information, then you got write access to it; if it's another user their information then you can read it; anonymous people can send a login/pass to get logged in. There are four levels, ranking them from lowest to greatest:
auth search read write.
The next ACL is a bit more secure as it blocks normal users to read other people their shadowed password:
access to attrs="userPassword" by dn="uid=root,ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com" write by dn="uid=John,ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com" write by anonymous auth by self write by * none access to * by dn="uid=root,ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com" write by dn="uid=John,ou=People,dc=genfic,dc=com" write by * search
This example gives root and John access to read/write/search for everything in the the tree below dc=genfic,dc=com. This also lets users change their own
userPassword's. As for the ending statement everyone else just has a search ability meaning they can fill in a search filter, but can't read the search results. Now you can have multiple acls but the rule of the thumb is it processes from bottom up, so your toplevel should be the most restrictive ones.
Working with OpenLDAP
Maintaining the directory
You can start using the directory to authenticate users in apache/proftpd/qmail/samba. You can manage it with phpldapadmin, diradm, jxplorer, or lat, which provide easy management interfaces.

Business is unpredictable and unsafe. The Internet is dangerous. Many blogs have been written about these dangers, and there's no way we can list them all here. Read the blogs.
The Internet is covered in slippery slopes with loose, slippery and unpredictable footing. The RIAA can make matters worse. Patent trolls are everywhere. You may fall, be spammed or suffer a DOS attack. There are hidden viruses and worms. You could break your computer. There is wild code, which may be vicious, poisonous or carriers of dread malware. These include viruses and worms. E-mail can be poisonous as well. We don't do anything to protect you from any of this. We do not inspect, supervise or maintain the Internet, blogsphere, ISP?s or other features, natural or otherwise.
Real dangers are present even on the Web. E-commerce is not the mall. It can be, and is, steep, slippery and dangerous. Web features made or enhanced by humans, such as firewalls and spam filters (if any) can break, collapse, or otherwise fail catastrophically at any time. We don't promise to inspect, supervise or maintain them in any way. They may be negligently constructed or repaired. The web is unsafe, period. Live with it or stay away.
Stay on trusted sites whenever possible. The terrain, in addition to being dangerous, is surprisingly complex. You may get lost. Carry food, water and an APU at all times.
Ads for things you don't want and other objectionable content can arrive from nowhere. This can happen naturally, or be caused by people around you that are being used as bots. Spam and disgusting images of all sizes, including huge images, can arrive, or pop-up with no warning. Use of spam filters is advised for anyone approaching the Internet. They can be purchased or rented from us. They won't save you if you get hit by something big or on a port you left open. A whole DOS attack might collapse on you and squash you like a bug. Don't think it can't happen.
Public opinion can be dangerous, regardless of the forecast. Be prepared with extra damage control, including press releases. Ticking off the blogsphere can kill you. The Streisand effect can turn a simple nastygram into a deathtrap.
If you make hasty comments about those in high places (making unsupported comments that reduce the image of a person, often posted quickly and without thinking) without proper thought and, or allow your employees to do so, you are making a terrible mistake. Even if you know what you're doing, lots of things can go wrong and you may be sued for libel. It happens all the time.
We do not provide rangers or security personnel. The other people on the web, including other visitors, our employees, agents, and guests, and anyone else who might sneak in, may be stupid, reckless, or otherwise dangerous. They may be mentally ill, criminally insane, drunk, using illegal drugs and/or armed with deadly malware and ready to use them. We aren't necessarily going to do anything about it. We refuse to take responsibility.
If you surf at work, you may become pre-occupied with it. This is true whether you are experienced or not, trained or not, equipped or not, though training and equipment may help. It's a fact, surfing at work is extremely dangerous. If you don't like it, surf at home. You really shouldn't be doing it anyway. We do not provide supervision or instruction. We are not responsible for, and do not track how much time you surf at work (although we could if we wanted to.) As far as we know, your employer may find out and send you plunging to unemployment. There are countless tons of loose management staff ready to be dislodged and fall on you or someone else. There are any number of extremely and unusually dangerous conditions existing on and around the Web, and elsewhere on the Internet. We may or may not know about any specific hazard, but even if we do, don't expect us to try to warn you. You're on your own.
Rescue services are not provided by us, and may not be available quickly or at all. Local computer geeks may not be equipped for or trained in hard drive recovery. If you are lucky enough to have somebody try to get rid of a virus or find that deleted file, they may be incompetent or worse. This includes your local computer store. We assume no responsibility. Also, if you decide to participate in a rescue of some other unfortunate, that's your choice. Don't do it unless you are willing to assume all risks.
By entering our site, you are agreeing that we owe you no duty of care or any other duty. We promise you nothing. We do not and will not even try to keep the premises safe for any purpose. The premises are not safe for any purpose. This is no joke. We won't even try to warn you about any dangerous or hazardous condition, whether we know about it or not. If we do decide to warn you about something, that doesn't mean we will try to warn you about anything else. If we do make an effort to fix an unsafe condition, we may not try to correct any others, and we may make matters worse! We and our employees or agents may do things that are unwise and dangerous. Sorry, we're not responsible. We may give you bad advice. Don't listen to us. In short, ENTER AND USE THIS SITE AT YOUR OWN RISK. And have fun!

"I use blues lyrics to exemplify specific magical concepts in "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" because the 1920s - 30s was a period during which mainstream folklorists, scholars, and book publishers paid scant attention to cultural contributions by African-Americans. Hoodoo, a beautifully coherent system of practical folk magic, was for the most part dismissed as "superstition" and went unrecorded by scholars or occultists. But these same two decades coincidentally marked the time of the greatest development of recorded rural acoustic blues, and hoodoo was a prominent topic addressed in the lyrics to these songs."Blues Lyrics and Hoodoo, from Hoodoo in Theory and Practice

After a week of struggling to transfer files by network from old computer to new I gave up. I went with Plan 2: transplant old hard drive into new machine. Worked like a charm-I think it took longer to copy the files than to move the drive. Downloaded Thunderbird and on installation it found my old profile and loaded my old mail and connected to my ISP's mail server without any fuss. Life is good.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A record 18 1/2 inches of snow have buried Springfield causing numerous public school and university closings.
But the weather hasn't deterred tourists from visiting the state's capital yesterday. Wayne Cerne and his family drove to Springfield to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and the Statehouse. The Downers Grove man says his family was unprepared for the snowfall and didn't bring snow boots.
The storm has also disrupted business for some local stores. Mike Zengilani is the general manager of a coffee shop downtown. He says food delivery trucks were late more than five hours from their regular morning drop off time.
He says he never hesitates about opening the store during snowstorms because while everyone else is closed, he gets customers in and out.

Knoxville, Tenn. (WVLT) - According to AAA, the most common roadside emergency calls they'll receive this winter can be prevented before drivers hit the road.
Winter Driving Check-List:
- Make sure your tire pressure is correct
- Check tire tread depth to ensure proper grip
- Check for battery corrosion and deterioration
- Keep your wiper fluid filled and your wipers in tip-top shape
When in doubt, take your vehicle in for a multi-point inspection to trouble-shoot larger problems. In addition to keeping your loved ones safe behind the wheel, this can also save time and money down the road.

The Steiff Dinosaur Clan welcomes all the little as well as big reptile fans to the exciting prehistoric period! Whether in the air, on land, or in the water - sometimes dangerous or sometimes quite peaceful: millions of years ago, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus, and Triceratops were up to mischief and experienced exciting adventures every day.
Material: Plush
Brand: Steiff
Origin: Germany
Who knows children's toys better than the inventors of the teddy bear? Steiff, the world's oldest plush manufacturer (and the company best known for creating the teddy bear) was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, a seamstress who, due to polio, was limited to sewing with one hand. The famous "Button in Ear" trademark was introduced in 1904 by Franz Steiff, Margarete's nephew, distinguishing every Steiff toy. While nearly all of the world's stuffed animals is made with inexpensive knitted plush, Steiff's creations are made from cuddly soft materials like woven fur, so you can be sure your tot is getting the very best.
