I am currently installing a recently purchased copy of Zimbra 8.0.3. I am a Zimbra novice, but am fairly familiar with most of the underlying apps.
We have the requirement in our environment to have all the Zimbra apps bind to a specified IP. In the 8.0 release notes, it mentions this capability should now be available as enhancement related to bug 6111:
The ability to bind mailbox services to a specific bind address. As part of this enhancement, the following attributes are added to server configuration. When these are set, the specific services bind to these specific addresses. If these are not set, the services binds to all interfaces.
However, when I try to add the first one via zmprov, I get an object class violation:
[zimbra@server ~]$ zmprov md hitachi-cta.com zimbraMailBindAddress X.X.X.X
ERROR: service.FAILURE (system failure: unable to modify attrs: object class violation - unable to modify attributes: attribute 'zimbraMailBindAddress' not allowed)
Furthermore, there don't seem to be any attributes even containing BindAddress.
[zimbra@server ~]$ zmprov md hitachi-cta.com | grep BindAddress
[zimbra@server ~]$
What am I doing wrong here? Is this the correct way (if it were working) to bind to a particular address?

A possible collusion between the exchange officials, brokers and clients, including high net worth individuals (HNIs) and politically connected entities, has come to the fore in the NSEL matter being probed by multiple agencies and regulators.
Preliminary investigations conducted by capital markets regulator Sebi into the NSEL crisis and inputs from other regulators and government departments suggest that some brokers were offering structured financial products to their HNI clients under some portfolio investments schemes for high returns of 10-20 per cent.
Related: Financial Technologies' Jignesh Shah says he is victim of 'fraud'
The brokers are believed to have been working in close coordination with some top officials at National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL), as also certain other group entities, while many of the clients could also have been in the loop about such structured products being in contravention of the extant norms, a senior official said.
While investigations are as yet in initial stages, further evidence in these directions could lead to formal proceedings against the suspected entities under regulations governing fraudulent and unfair trade practices, portfolio management schemes and rules governing code of conduct of market intermediaries, he added.
Sources said that the NSEL fiasco is turning out to be a unique case where even the investors could be among the main culprits, as they were not the common people who usually get conned in ponzi schemes and other investment frauds.
In contrast, most of these so-called victims are rather well-heeled brokers or high networth individuals (HNIs) and some of them have been found to have close connections with certain politically active persons in Mumbai, he added.
Sebi is also ascertaining facts from Financial Technologies India Ltd (FTIL) on withdrawal of report by its auditor.
Deloitte Haskins & Sells had withdrawn its audit report certifying accounts of the company for FY'13 fiscal as Rs 5,500-crore payment crisis at its group company NSEL ballooned.
The regulator has already sought details from various brokers about their direct and indirect exposure to the NSEL.
Besides, it has also sought to ascertain whether the brokerage firms and individual brokers have put in place effective 'chinese-wall' like structure to ensure that the problems in spot commodity markets do not spill over to the equity and other segments.
NSEL, which offers an electronic platform for spot market trading in various farm commodities as also bullion contracts, has suspended trade in

Adopt-A-Stairway launched for beaches
Stairs to the beach built in the 1960s, now in poor repair
NORTH COUNTY A North County nonprofit has launched an ambitious plan to rehabilitate the bluff-side stairways at Carlsbad and Cardiff state beaches.
"The stairways were built in the 1960s, and I don't think they've ever been renovated," said Bill Mahoney, an Encinitas resident and the founder and vice president of Friends of Cardiff and Carlsbad State Beaches.
In many spots the stairs are falling apart, Mahoney said, and the state Department of Parks and Recreation has no money for anything more than minor repairs.
"These are key beach-access points," he said.
Each park gets more than 700,000 visitors a year, he said, and nearby residents use the stairs for recreation and exercise. The steps provide the only access down the steep bluffs to the beach that is up to 60 feet below.
There are nine stairways in the two coastal parks, he said. He estimates it will cost about $25,000 each or $200,000 to $250,000 in all to repair them. So far the group has raised about $5,000 plus donations of time, labor and materials.
Mahoney and a few friends founded the nonprofit in 2009 when state budget cuts were taking a heavy toll on the parks department.
They took on several lesser projects, such as improvements to the Pelican Point events center at Carlsbad State Beach, before launching Adopt-A-Stairway, their biggest endeavor yet, he said.
Robin Greene, the state parks superintendent for northern San Diego County, said the weatherworn stairways are "in terrible shape" and she's thrilled to have the Friends' help.
"They are a fantastic group," she said.
The nonprofit is contracted as the park's "cooperating association," Greene said, an arrangement used by many California State Parks to supplement their operations.
"There's a lot of really good nonprofits in the world," she said, "and there's a select few that we actually sign contracts with."
Nonprofits often run visitors centers and concessions at the parks, she said. In this case, the Friends of Cardiff and Carlsbad State Beaches is doing maintenance.
"We review the work while it's in progress to make sure it's being done safely," Greene said. "They work hand-in-hand with our maintenance department."
The state park system has little money for maintenance, she said.
"The deferred backlog in state parks is so high, I could outspend what anybody could raise," Greene said. "We can't get past critical needs, like making the toilets flush."
Carlsbad resident Ken Hays, a licensed general contractor who builds cellphone towers for T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T, said he's a frequent beachgoer who joined the Friends of Cardiff and Carlsbad State Beaches to take part in the stairway renovations.
"Originally there were eight sets of stairs at each park," Hays said, but some have been destroyed or removed over the years.
The stairways take a beating from heavy foot traffic in the summers and storms in the winter.
"Over time they were just deteriorating," Hays said. "They (the parks department) just kept adding nails."
Some of the stairways were destroyed by storms, he said, and when that happened they were not replaced. The state Coastal Commission would have to approve the construction, and that would require costly environmental studies.
Hays, who's donating his own time and the labor of his workers, recently took a crew of 10 people to repair the top 25 steps of a stairway at Carlsbad State Beach as a pilot project.
"I'm replacing all the rusted metal hangers and that kind of stuff, all the treads, the risers, and adding a support beam down the middle," he said.
The material — basically lumber and stainless steel screws — for Thursday's work was donated by Cardiff resident Mike Winters.

Supply Chain Managers Continue to Rely on West Coast Ports During Holiday Season
December 10, 2012 - SCMR Editorial
Even though the nation's top ocean cargo gateways have been virtually shut down for several days this past month, retailers are reporting a slight increase in inbound throughput.
According to the monthly Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates, the Port of LA/Long Beach strike shifted some cargo into December but would not have a significant effect on net volume for the year.
"Shippers are continuing to mitigate their risk by moving goods through multiple ports," said NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold said. "At the same time, we don't seen any significant trend from ocean carriage to air cargo."
U.S. ports followed by Global Port Tracker handled 1.39 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in October, the latest month for which after-the-fact numbers are available. That was down 1 percent from September, but up 5.2 percent from October 2011.
November was estimated at 1.22 million TEUs, down 5.6 percent from last year. The downturn was due in part to the eight-day strike that closed most terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach beginning in the last few days of November, but also because November is a traditionally weak month after most holiday cargo has arrived.??
December is forecast at 1.27 million TEU, up 3.9 percent from last year, with January forecast at 1.31 million TEU, up 2 percent from January 2012; February at 1.15 million TEU, up 5.9 percent; March at 1.27 million TEU, up 2 percent, and April at 1.35 million TEU, up 3.2 percent.??August, September and October are the three busiest months of the year as retailers bring merchandise into the country for the holiday season, and volume for the three months combined was up 3.6 percent at 4.2 million TEU.
While cargo volume does not correlate directly with sales, NRF is forecasting that holiday sales will increase 4.1 percent to $586.1 billion this year.??The first half of 2012 totaled 7.7 million TEU, up 3 percent from the same period last year. For the full year, 2012 is expected to total 15.8 million TEU, up 2.5 percent from 2011.
Hackett Associates Founder Ben Hackett said the LA/Long Beach strike shifted some cargo into December but would not have a significant effect on net volume for the year. But retailers are closely monitoring the situation at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports, where a contract extension expires December 29.??
"While the strike led to some diversion of cargo to Oakland and ports further afield, we believe much of the cargo destined for LA/Long Beach will simply arrive at the port later as vessels adjust their rotations," Hackett said. "As we look ahead into the coming months of 2013, the main threat to cargo flows through the ports would be a strike on East Coast and Gulf Coast. There is little option for diversion."??
Global Port Tracker, which is produced for NRF by the consulting firm Hackett Associates, covers the U.S. ports of Long Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma on the West Coast; New York/New Jersey, Hampton Roads, Charleston, Savannah, Port Everglades and Miami on the East Coast, and Houston on the Gulf Coast.

Thanks to coffee producer Aida Batlle's persistent quality focus, meticulous picking and sorting, and expert processing, Finca Mauritania from Santa Ana, El Salvador, continues to be among our all-time favorites. We offer this year's harvest of Finca Mauritania with pride, respect, and gratitude. And, we hope that you enjoy Finca Mauritania as much as we do with its perfect balance of sweetness and brightness, notes of sweet pastry, and a hint of fruit over a light and creamy body. And, again, this year's harvest arrived earlier than ever before!
Buying coffee from the Productores Indígenas de la Sierra Chiapaneca (PROISCH) cooperative in 2010 allowed us to realize our long-held desire to explore the coffees from small-scale producers in Chiapas, Mexico. Farmhouse and Apollo benefited greatly that first year from PROISCH's quality and provided the perfect showcase for this coffee. Since then, we visited the co-op for the first time and worked on quality initiatives – and then visited the co-op again. Having overcome some challenges along the way, we're finally able to offer caffeinated coffee from PROISCH as a single-origin coffee called Las Milpas. We hope that you'll agree that this harvest's notes of vanilla, fig, and nougat were worth the wait.

Mississippi State University officials are investigating claims from a Brazilian computer hacker that he has breached the school's computers.
The claim was first posted Wednesday on a website dedicated to tracking and tracing claims of computer security breaches.
The hacker claims to have accessed the usernames, actual names and passwords of 929 students.
MSU spokesman Sid Salter says steps are being taken to protect the university community and that as soon as the school knows the impact of the apparent breach that information will be released.
The data contains admission details, usernames, addresses, emails and encrypted passwords of university's staff and students, according to the website HackRead.com.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- President Obama started the National Day of Service in 2009 ahead of his first inauguration. This year, the day is still going strong.
The day is meant to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.
The largest project on this day is sponsored by Points of Light, Americorps, Operation Gratitude, Target and others. The huge event was held at the D.C. Armory.
Thousands who came out Saturday will brighten the day for our military here and abroad.
Navy Commander Rodney Blevins of Herndon is paying it forward, and setting a good example for his son along the way.
"It's all about service, giving back and what better way to do that than to bring my son out and see how it's done," Blevins said.
Ten thousand volunteers are expected to pack 100,000 care kits of toiletries. The kits will be supplemented with food, letters and gifts.
Ebony Boney with Americorps says, "this is awesome. It speaks to the American spirit to have everyone come out to make 100,000 kits."
There were helping hands from all types of volunteers filling care kits from families, to the high profiled including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Vice President Joe Biden.
Army Cadet Casey Gary is hoping to brighten another soldier's day by the letter she wrote.
"I hope this letter finds you well and you smile as much as I did in writing it, thinking of you."
It's a letter, the likes of which, she may one day receive herself.

U.S. typhoon relief ramps up
Marines, sailors on 2 amphib ships ordered to islands devastated by storm
A Marine-led U.S. relief operation in the Philippines ramped up Tuesday, as typhoon survivors in remote areas struggled through a fourth day without food or potable water, medical care or shelter from the rain.
Two more ships with advanced medical capabilities, tracked vehicles and other disaster response equipment have been ordered from Japan to the Philippines, U-T San Diego has learned.
The amphibious dock landing ships Ashland and Germantown are slated to leave Sasebo, Japan, Wednesday morning. After picking up Marine landing teams in Okinawa, the ships should arrive in the Philippines within a week.
Along with the aircraft carrier George Washington and six escort ships already steaming toward the Philippines, "between all of them they do bring a very considerable and robust medical capability to the mission," said Navy Capt. Darryn James, chief spokesman for Pacific Fleet.
"Our number one goal is to assist the government of the Philippines to ease the suffering of those devastated by this typhoon. So we are considering all options to assist," he added.
One option is deployment of the San Diego-based Navy hospital ship Mercy, which James said is in a "reduced operating status" and would require additional time to reach the disaster area. The Mercy visited the Philippines in June 2012 for the annual Pacific Partnership humanitarian and disaster relief exercise.
The Defense Department is continuing to work closely with the Philippine government to determine what, if any, additional assets may be required, Marine officials said.
Initial response
Meanwhile, American military aircraft have been ferrying supplies and refugees across the ravaged central islands of the archipelago, which are plagued by outbreaks of diarrhea and the stench of rotting bodies.
Nearly 250 U.S. troops have converged on the islands, including about 180 Marines. The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade based in Okinawa, Japan, is leading the effort, working with the Philippine government and its armed forces, other U.S. government agencies and civilian aid organizations.
More troops are on the way with the George Washington and its carrier strike group expected to arrive from Hong Kong within about two days.
As of Tuesday night, air crews aboard Marine MV-22 Osprey tiltrotors and KC-130J airplanes had delivered more than 107,000 pounds of food, water, and other emergency supplies provided by the Philippine government and the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Marines said.
They also evacuated more than 160 refugees from the Tacloban area where the typhoon hit hardest.
But the carnage wrought by Typhoon Haiyan's 150-mile winds, flooding rains and storm surge have overwhelmed initial relief efforts.
Authorities estimate that between 4.5 million to 9 million people were affected by the typhoon, which is called Yolanda in the Philippines. About 1,800 bodies have been recovered but more than 10,000 are feared dead.
Marine Brig. Gen. Paul Kennedy, commander of the U.S. military relief operation, said the city of Tacloban looked like it had been flattened by a 50-mile wide tornado.
"There's a lot we can do," Kennedy said. "We're working hand-in-hand with the Philippines, both with their armed forces and the national police. We will help them in their time of need."
But Kennedy also pleaded for more help, saying basic supplies for shelter, sanitation, food and water are urgently needed.
"The rest of the world needs to get mobilized, the rest of the donor community," he told NBC News. "A week from now will be too late. "
The Marine contingent is scheduled to grow to about 2,000 in coming days.
In addition to evacuating refugees, the Marine air crews have also transported more than 140 relief workers and other passengers in the storm-ravaged area. That mission is slated to continue Wednesday as MV-22 Osprey transport military assessment teams from Cebu to Tacloban.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- An 8-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department laid on the street seriously injured for nearly 20 minutes with no help.
"Whether it's a police officer or a resident or a tourist, it doesn't matter. That cannot happen," president of the local police and firefighters union said.
At a press conference three days later, the Fire Chief described his department's response to the injured officer nearly two-weeks ago.
"I tell you our department responded as best it could." They also added, "Tuesday, the system worked."
But according to a new report, the system did not work. In fact, there were three ambulances that could have responded but didn't. Two ambulances had been taken out of service prematurely -- one for a minor mechanical issue, the other for a shift change. But the third ambulance was listed out of service by mistake.
"It was an error in the computer system. They are exemplary employees," said Ed Smith the president of the local firefighters union.
He says the problem wasn't the ambulance's crew. But rather computer glitch that's been going on for years.
"I think there is a systemic problem."
This morning Mayor Gray was asked about the investigations findings, but he had little to say.

Who I Am
I am a Research Software Design Engineer in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group.
I have been with the Microsoft Corporation since July 1995. First, I was a member of the Natural Language Processing group in Microsoft Research, moving to the Foundations of Software Engineering group in the fall of 1999. I am now a member of the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group. Before coming to Microsoft, I had been an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Idaho for three years. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1992.
What I Do
- Trill: A streaming query processor. It is the fastest in the world. Seriously.
- Parasail: A novel approach to parallelizing a large class of seemingly sequential applications wherein dependencies are, at runtime, treated as symbolic values. The efficiency of parallelization, then, depends on the efficiency of the symbolic computation, an active area of research in static analysis, verification, and partial evaluation. This is exciting as advances in these fields can translate to novel parallel algorithms for sequential computation.
- Tempe: An environment for doing interactive data analytics. Check out our video! And there's a blog post describing how Trill and Tempe are being used.
- Cluster Changes: Improving the process of code review. See our paper "Helping Developers Help Themselves" at ICSE 2015.
What I Did
- Code Contracts: a language-agnostic way to express specifications in any .NET language. Specifications include method preconditions, postconditions, and object invariants. Code Contracts capture programmer intentions about how methods and data are to be used. You can install the tools from the VS Gallery. And now it has been open-sourced and available at GitHub!
- CCI: The Common Compiler Infrastructure is the framework to use if you are doing anything related to .NET binaries, either creating them from scratch, modifying existing ones, or just mining them for information. It is open-source and available at CodePlex.
ILMerge: a static linker for .NET assemblies.
- Spec#: an experimental extension to C# that adds contract features such as method pre- and postconditions and object invariants. It also has a non-null type system. The Spec# compiler emits run-time checks that enforce the contracts and the Spec# program verifier uses theorem-proving technology to statically check the consistency between a program and its contracts. Spec# helps programmers write correct software and makes explicit the correct usage of APIs for clients. It is integrated into Visual Studio .NET. It is available as an open source project.

I'm just curious. What do you think this buck scores, just a ballpark? I thought he looked pretty good for a Eastern California Serria buck but I only have the front view pict of him.

Nice looking buck Kevin! Hmmm...no way to score him in that pic. Looks like some nice mass overall, and maybe some trash on that left antler. Could be only a 3 point on the right antler. Eye guards are killer and nice long main beams. He is not terribly wide, but I think width is overrated. My best buck ever was 183 and only had a 24" spread. Gorgeous buck, particularly in California. I'll bet he's over 180 gross.
Any more pics Kevin? We need to see the forks. A few things are apparent though. His inside spread is tight, somewhere in the 15 to 17 inch range. He is also making up some ground on the G1s, as they are above average. Looks like good mass on that deer as well.
First impressions are good with this guy.
That's the sad part I don't have any other picture views, side, points, ect.... of him, and this one even is a bit fuzzy pict. Some of the tines did look pretty good for a California Sierra mountain buck and his mass was not all half bad for CA that is. Seeing him in hunting season and getting the X zone tag would be the next challenge.
Very nice buck kevin, I'd be happy with that 1 any day of the week, especially here in california. Wish you luck on drawing and finding him again. Great photo thanks for sharing

Great buck. We could all guess on score but with out more pics it would be hard to get it close.
Nice buck Kevin. No guess from me but if you let me know where you saw him I will try to get you a rough score this fall.
Yep, agreed. It's hard to score without more pictures or views. Fun to look at all the same. Guess I'm getting eager to see if I'm fortunate enough to pull the zone here in CA and or just get up into the mountains.
Here's another buck from a picture a few years back. This one was Northern CA in the Lassen Foothills. Difference between the two is the top one is a Public Land Buck and this one below is off a hunting lease, private land that to my knowledge nobody tagged the year the picture was taken.
I'm kind of partial to the public land buck, just because it's public land .
What a stud! Nice pic Kevin.
The first pic is the better scoring deer.
