Linux Kernel To Get Microsoft Code Filed under ( Linux.com )

Guyz, i came across something interesting on Linux.com and would like to share here. Microsoft has contributed code to the Linux Kernel. About 20,000 lines of device driver code were contributed to the Linux kernel under the GPL v2 license. The code has been submitted for inclusion to the main Linux kernel source tree. This measure was initiated to enable Linux run as virtual machine on top of Hyper-V.

Is this a initial move by MS to create a MS Linux distro??? Hmmm... More details are still awaited.....

More info can be found on Linux.com

Adding ldap log via syslogd LOCAL4 Filed under ( LDAP, Syslog )

Log file is created and maintained for the activity performed by server. This file is very important as it plays important role in performing troubleshooting. The first thing one can do when encounter a problem in accessing a service is to read the log file to find the actual issue. Mostly the log file and path will be created automatically but in certain cases the log file need to be created on our own. For an instance, how do we create a log file for LDAP via syslogd LOCAL4.

1) Edit /etc/syslog.conf - add local4.* /var/log/ldap/log
2) Touch /var/log/ldap.log
3) /etc/init.d/syslogd restart @ kilall -HUP syslogd

Now, initiate ldap and view the log by using tail -f /var/log/ldap.log
