Comment on Useful error from VMware vCenter by Timbo

Lol. Sorry, I don’t have anything witty to add. That’s just funny.

What are the developers thinking when they write these error messages???

“Bah, that’ll never happen. Why put any effort into the error message”.

If that’s the case, why catch it at all??

I also like the option to force too.

“I can’t do this, but if you ask me again I will.”

Love it.

Comment on IPTC Copying Headline to Title fields by robin

Thanks for the comment Phil, I’ve just had a play and a bit more of a read, now I understand the difference between what I had done and what you suggested. You are right, the “-tagsfromfile %f.jpg” is not required in this case.

Thanks again!

Your command reads IPTC:Headline from the same-named file in the current directory. Is this what you intended? If not, just drop the “-tagsfromfile %f.jpg” entirely and exiftool will read IPTC:Headline from the target file.

Comment on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 Microsoft Active Directory Authentication by robin

Aha, I should have popped you a mail, oh well its all working now. Thankfully we are holding off on RHEL6 for a while, so I wont have that headache to deal with.

The next step is getting SSL LDAP to work, but for that I need to enable it on my AD, which is proving tricky, makes me realise how much I dont know about Windows !

Nice guide dude, I could have also helped you with this. All our RHEL boxes at work authenticate via AD. It’s great… once you go through the pain of getting it working as you have discovered.

Let me know when you get round to RHEL6, it uses “sssd” instead of krb5/pam/ldap. Different setup but I have it all working, except for properly enumerating auxillary groups but that’s fixed in SSSD 1.2.2. I had to create my own RPM for that, Red Hat said the fix will come out in a future release though.
