Operating Systems HP-UX Problem in Change Password for user Post 302911868 by rbatte1 on Monday 4th of August 2014 07:23:58 AM

You may also be able to search out big stuff with this:-
Code:
du -kx / | sort -n

It will list all directories on that filesystem (there may be lots of them) and sort them in ascending size order, so the last lines of output are the targets to examine first. You will see the subdirectories higher up and they all get counted into the parent's total. When you find a suspect area, change directory to it, then:-
Code:
du -kx . | sort -n

to check for large sub-directories and then find the largest files in this directory with:-
Code:
ls -la|sort -nk 5

Of course, this is assuming that there are large files to deal with. You could have many thousands of small files in /tmp or personal home directories if these are part of the root filesystem.



I hope that these pointers help, but BEWARE - don't just delete 'some large stuff' if you are not sure it can be removed. You may break your server, perhaps not now, but on next boot.



Good luck,
Robin

Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::UUser3Contributed Perl DocuJifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User(3pm)

NAME
Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User - password plugin user mixin model SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Model::User; use Jifty::DBI::Schema; use MyApp::Record schema { # custom column definitions }; use Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User; # name, email, email_confirmed use Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User; # ^^ password, auth_token DESCRIPTION
This mixin model is added to the application's account model for use with the password authentication plugin. This mixin should be used in combination with Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User. SCHEMA
This mixin adds the following columns to the model schema: auth_token This is a unique identifier used when confirming a user's email account and recovering a lost password. password This is the user's password. It will be stored in the database after being processed through Digest::MD5, so the password cannot be directly recovered from the database. METHODS
register_triggers Adds the triggers to the model this mixin is added to. password_is PASSWORD Checks if the user's password matches the provided PASSWORD. hashed_password_is HASH TOKEN Check if the given HASH is the result of hashing our (already salted and hashed) password with TOKEN. This can be used in cases where the pre-hashed password is sent during login as an additional security precaution (such as could be done via Javascript). validate_password Makes sure that the password is six characters long or longer, unless we have alternative means to authenticate. after_create This trigger is added to the account model. It automatically sends a notification email to the user for password confirmation. See Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Notification::ConfirmEmail. has_alternative_auth If your model supports other means of authentication, you should have this method return true, so the "password" field can optionally be null and authentication with password is disabled in that case. after_set_password Regenerate authentication tokens on password change regenerate_auth_token Generate a new auth_token for this user. This will invalidate any existing feed URLs. SEE ALSO
