Boycott Novell: Champion of freedom or den of paranoia?

10-24-2008 12:00 PM
Few sites about free software attract more controversy than Boycott Novell. Founded in 2006 in response to the first Microsoft-Novell deal, as its name suggests, the site has evolved more recently into a site for commentary and investigation of any subject that might be a threat to free software. To its regular readers, this subject matter makes Boycott Novell -- like Groklaw, its apparent inspiration -- a defender of the community. But to others, especially those who have been the subject of its articles, the site is full of illogical arguments and undeserved attacks, and an embarrassment that only brings the community into disrepute.

NAME
Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory -- extensions for Novell eDirectory SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(eDirectory); $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... ); ... if ($ldap->is_eDirectory) my $mesg $ldap->list_replicas($server_dn); print "Replicas on $server_dn * " . join(" * ", $mesg->replicas) . " " if (!$mesg->code); } DESCRIPTION
Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory provides functions / LDAP extensions specific to Novell eDirectory. To do so, it provides the following methods: METHODS
is_eDirectory ( ) Tell if the LDAP server queried is Novell eDirectory server. As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it works without being bound to the directory. In contrast to other Net::LDAP methods this method returns TRUE / FALSE respectively undef on error. list_replicas ( SERVER_DN, OPTIONS ) Query the the replicas on the given server SERVER_DN. On success, the resulting Net::LDAP::Message object supports the method "replicas" that returns the list of replicas on SERVER_DN. get_replica_info ( SERVER_DN, REPLICA_DN, OPTIONS ) Query information of REPLICA_DN on SERVER_DN. On success, the resulting Net::LDAP::Message object supports the method "replica_info" that returns a hash containing information on REPLICA_DN. trigger_backlinker ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the BackLinker process, which resolves external references to ensure they refer to real entries. trigger_janitor ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the Janitor process, which checks connectivity to all servers in database. trigger_limber ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the Limber process, which verifies the server name, internal ipx address and tree connectivity of all replicas. trigger_skulker ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the Skulker process, which checks the synchronization status of every server in the replica ring. trigger_schemasync ( OPTIONS ) Trigger SchemaSync. trigger_partitionpurge ( OPTIONS ) Trigger PartitionPurge. refresh_ldap_server ( OPTIONS ) Trigger refreshing the NLDAP service.
