[Radmind-users] new radmind and assistant

[FTCC <mac...@ya...>]

I have 2 labs with MAC's. One lab is running 10.3.9 and the other lab  and server are running 10.4.5, will this cause any problems?

[Radmind-users] Bluetooth loadsets

[Jeremy R. <jj...@ri...>]

I'm tracking down an odd problem on my Mac OS X system, that seems to recur
each time I update my filesystem with the Radmind tools. It centers around a
Bluetooth mouse, which I still see in my list of devices but which isn't
otherwise recognized by the OS.

In examining what may be happening, I noticed that the files
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences/{blued,com.apple.bluetooth}.plist are
changed from their defaults in my Mac OS X Tiger base loadset after I set up
the mouse. The blued.plist file contains detailed information about the BT
devices I've been using. The Bluetooth.plist file just lists
"RecentDevices."

Has anyone else done any management of systems with Bluetooth devices? Have
you put either or both of these files in negative, and if so, has that
improved matters? They seem to be good candidates for it, and I'm
considering creating a negative transcript for them. If so, I would also
remove them from my base loadset by commenting them out in the transcript.

Thanks!

[Radmind-users] Using version 1.5 and 1.6

[Craig T. <cra...@th...>]

Hi
We currently run our radmind server on OSX 10.39 with clients on 10.39. Both
server and clients run radmind 1.5.
I want to start testing a new 10.4 image using 1.6 client. Will this work OK
with 1.5 server or should I update the server to 1.6. If I need to update
the server will my 1.5 clients still be OK?

Thanks
Craig

Terminal. The Assistant currently only allows the administrator to  
view, add or delete certificates on the client. It does not generate  
certificates yet.

[Radmind-users] Doc for Radmind Assistant 1 cert management?

[Manuel D. <man...@pr...>]

Assigning a SSL certificate per machine is the next step I need to make in my setup.  I've read the different documents on the web on how to do this with Radmind but find them rather lacking, or black-box "follow step 1-9, dont bother to understand the process" procedures.

I assume that SSL certificate creation and management must be part of all basic unix training, which explains why it's not in my repertoire.

So my question is, does the client certificate feature of radmind assistant 1 allow to manage the whole process, or do you still have to go into the terminal on each machine to generate their certificate?  Is this my lifesaver, or just a mirage.

Also, any doc available for this new feature?

Thanks

I did the whole thing (minus GarageBand) shortly after it shipped  
with no problems. Started with a base loadset (which included the  
latest iTunes), installed iLife, did

fsdiff -C -csha1 / | grep -v .DS_Store > iLife06.T

No problems. What exactly are you seeing?

Re: [Radmind-users] creating an iLife 06 loadset?

[Robert C. <bob...@ui...>]

I have had no problems but I make a loadset for each application and  
not for the whole iLife Suite.

Some applications are pretty much self-contained and only install 
items in to the /Applications folder.

Others, like iTunes spray system components around as well.

You need to use a program such as Pacifist to break open the 
installer to see exactly what is being installed and then ensure that 
the transcript includes all the necessary elements within it.

[Radmind-users] creating an iLife 06 loadset?

[david s. <sh...@um...>]

Hello,

I was wondering, has anyone created an iLife 06 loadset? I am having  
a hard time creating one. Everytime I try to create the loadset, it  
inadvertently hangs on me (especially at the time when I try to  
include iTunes). Also when I look at the .pkg file, it has a lot of  
other things that it installs. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Thank you in advance for your help.

That's not quite how it works. When you enable the Update Monitor, a  
few things happen depending on your system version. On 10.4,  
edu.umich.rumd.plist is installed in /Library/LaunchDaemons and  
launchctl starts rumd. This is the utility that runs ktcheck -n every  
couple hours. On 10.3, the RadmindUpdateMonitor StartupItem is  
created in /Library/StartupItems and its script is run, starting  
rumd. On both systems, the RadmindUpdateMonitor.app in the  
Assistant's bundle is launched and added to the current user's Login  
Items (stored in ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist). A small  
representation of the Radmind icon should appear in the menu bar. The  
RadmindUpdateMonitor.app is not moved from the Assistant's  
application bundle.

Not necessarily. What's in the console log when you try to enable it?  
What's in the system log? If you find anything suggesting a bug, file  
a report.

Re: [Radmind-users] Radmind 1.6 Compression Performance - UPDATED

[Sam A. <sa...@qa...>]

You know sometimes it is better to keep quiet and be thought a fool  
than to open your mouth and prove it.

Friends and neighbours, this is one of those times...

I started redoing my testing after seeing the benchmarks from David.  
I became suspicious when all my numbers started coming out the same.  
My faulty assumption was that all that was needed was the "-Z 9"  
directive on the server process and a client new enough to recognise  
it. So my comparisons really only reflected the performance  
difference between the older client I was using and the newer version  
WITHOUT COMPRESSION.

When I actually added the "-Z 9" directive to the client script and  
started altering the server value I got results much more in line  
with David's. Performance was a complete dog with the setting at 9.  
With the setting at 1 the first few files were slow and then there  
was an error at about 10% on one of the Clipart files (test was  
delete MS Office 2004) which was repeatable. With no "-Z" argument on  
the server the streaming was very fast (about 14 seconds for all of  
MS Office 2004).

Oh, and compression does peg the CPU and DOESN'T use the second CPU  
so a dual processor is not much help.

Sorry to mislead you all.

BTW, this is all with 1.6.0rc4 so may not be completely  
representative of 1.6.0 release version...

Anyway, props to the Radmind team for making such a substantial  
improvement to the (uncompressed) throughput between 1.5.1 and  
1.6.0rc4 that I thought it was due to compression.

Re: [Radmind-users] ANN: Radmind Assistant 1.0 available

[coverc <co...@wp...>]

I'm not sure if this belongs on the bug track or here:

Just tried to implement an overload for the new RA and two things:

1) can't reboot ( i suppose this is because the code got changed under it)
2) the RadmindUpdateChecker (not what it's called) appears to not get 
installed properly. The file is in the RA and the StartupItems folder 
has the folder but the actual app is not in the startup, nor is there a 
symbolic link or alias. The menulet (or whatever it's called) does not 
show up.
Is it me or should I file a bug report.

Probably me.

I can't know that unless you report bugs. They're the best way to  
track problems. It's a great help to us if rc users report problems  
they encounter.

You're running on an unsupported system version? Your libSystem is  
corrupt or out of date? Without knowing more details about your OS  
version or setup, I don't know. What does otool -L say for /usr/lib/ 
libSystem.B.dylib?

Yes, I'll file a bug with this, but the list is more interactive.

With the 1.0 version of the assistant on 10.3.9 I get an error about
undefined symbols from rmauthexec. I got this same error with the last rc
of the assistant as well, but not with the last released version on the
same Mac.

[Radmind-users] Radmind 1.6 Compression Performance - UPDATED

[David J. B. <dj...@ci...>]

Following Sam Agnew's comments about compression being beneficial on  
his fast network with a dual 2.0 G5 processor server, I decided to  
test compression performance again using the fastest server I could  
obtain.  Unfortunately, the best was my own office computer - single  
2.0 GHz G5.  I didn't have a dual or quad available.

The results are interesting, though.  The faster processor helped.  
With no compression, runs were 29% faster compared to my 1.0 GHz G4  
Xserve, but with compression, I saw 56 % to 59 % improvements.   
Running with compression at -Z 1, it only took 12 second longer than  
running without.  It would seem that there is a break-even point that  
probably needs multiple processors to be reached, at this time.

The updated report is here:

	http://at.unh.edu/acs/public/radmind_compression_performance.html

An idea for developers to ponder: pre-compress and store.  You would  
lose the flexibility, but if you stored compressed files on the  
server, you don't need the on-demand, repeated CPU resources.  I can  
also see a lot of reasons that's a bad or at least complicated idea.

Bug reports are more helpful. Please consider them in the future. It  
helps keep list traffic to a minimum.

Try launching the Editor from the Radmind folder first. It's possible  
Apple's LaunchServices database hasn't been updated on your system.

OK, Instead at this point, I would do fsdiff -C -csha1 -K /dev/null / 
private/var/db/netinfo > Netinfo.T

That way you get the whole NIDB and not just the most recent changes.  
You then want to REMOVE the nidb from your base transcript - I think  
this is where the problem is. If you two transcripts with nidb files  
in them then you will have problems.

This means that if you want to have different users in your nidb for  
different configurations of machine, you want to make an overload of  
the entire nidb for each configuration - if you try and do it with  
overloads, stuff like you described will tend to happen (or in my  
experience, the machine will stop booting until you manually delete  
the db and start again).

HTH. This method has worked for me since 10.2.

Re: [Radmind-users] Need (more) help with managing local users

[Mark D. <md...@tr...>]

Hiya,

Thanks very much for the advice so far Sam. However, I'm sorry to say  
that I'm still having problems. :-\

Here's what I've done:

1. Do network image install, which on finish reboots, and then  
automatically runs a radmind updaate. The command file for the  
machine is as bare as I can make it so that I can reduce the chances  
that something else is causing the problems - a very minimal 10.4  
base transcript and a negative transcript. The base transcript  
contains the following local.nidb entries;

=-=-=

The negative has a commented out reference to the netinfo folder

=-=-=
###d /private/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb         0700     0     0
=-=-=

2. At this point, I have my two local admin users, 'admin' and  
'radmind' setup and working fine. Just to be as thorough as possible,  
I ran a radmind update again, and let it reboot.

3. I login as admin, and create a guest account 'guestlogin' via  
System Preferences -> Accounts, and then reboot the machine.

4. I login as guest to make sure it's working, and it does. I logout  
and reboot again. (I know all this rebooting shouldn't be necessary  
but I really want to make sure this time)

5. Login as admin account and from a terminal, run 'sudo /usr/local/ 
bin/fsdiff -C -c sha1 / > /tmp/transcript.T'. I then edit that file  
into three transcripts:

6. I verify and check in the transcripts on the server, then setup  
the machine's command file to have the base.T, the netinfo.T, the  
shadow.T and the negative.T

7. I then re-netinstall the machine, let it reboot, does the radmind  
update.

8. I am then able to login as admin still, but I am not longer able  
to use sudo, which makes it hard to use twitch. I'm unable to login  
as 'guestlogin' and the Netinfo application shows no sign of the  
'guestlogin' user either. The netinfo app doesn't appear to have a  
groups tree either. When I try to click on the  Accounts preference  
pane, I just get a blank window.

9. I then setup the machine's command file to have the base.T, the  
netinfo.T, the shadowwithstatefiles.T and the negative.T

10. Re-netinstall, let it reboot, does the radmind update.

11. Same problem again (as per step 8).

The only scripting I have that affects the netinfo db is some 'nicl'  
commands that setup the mounts for the machine. Nothing to use with  
users/groups...

Am I missing something obvious?

regards,
Mark

[Radmind-users] ANN: Radmind Assistant 1.0 available

[Andrew M. <adm...@um...>]

The University of Michigan's Research Systems Unix Group is pleased  
to announce the 1.0 release of the Radmind Assistant. This release  
adds support for the new compression features in the radmind tools, a  
background update monitor, client certificate management, pre- and  
post-apple script management, wildcard searches in the Transcript  
Editor, and numerous bug fixes. Radmind Assistant 1.0 includes an  
installer for the 1.6.0 release of the Radmind tools.

This release is made available as a Universal Binary, which requires  
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or above.

Notes:
The 1.0 release adds the Radmind Update Monitor, a small application  
that appears in the logged-in user's menu bar. It communicates with a  
background tool that runs ktcheck -n periodically throughout the day.  
When updates are available, the icon flashes to notify the user.

Radmind Transcript Editor 0.7.7 adds optional Wildcard searches,  
which can be enabled through the preferences. When enabled, the user  
may use "*" in the search field to act as a wildcard character, e.g.:

*.app

will display all transcript lines ending with .app in the current  
transcript.
