I am trying to design an environment that has one forest with an empty root, a user domain and multiple domains for different groups that have firewalls between the domains.  I want to have a central user database but segmentation at the IP level for each group of folks.    For the first group the forest would look like this    I will be adding other groups' domains after this first one is working.  Assume there is a firewall between each domain and they are segmented with a subnet for each group's domain.  Here is the initial firewall design    I am trying to allow a user on the Application server to enumerate the users and group objects in the users domain.   Here is the problem.    My users can log in no problem if I don't allow any connectivity between the app server and the User DCs but they cannot enumerate users and groups.    Other the other hand If I allow TCP 389 (LDAP) and TCP 88 (Kerberos) I can enumerate the users and groups but interactive logins are really slow and the app server is looking for 135 (EPmapper) to be open during profile load.    As a test I opened 135 and then the EPmapper passed a random high for the netlogon port which of course the app server then tries to hit.    So what do you think is best course of action?    I cannot open all random highs, that is silly.   I can make the netlogon port static on all my DCs and then open only that port.  Any other ideas?
I want to run DFS replication between a couple of servers. It's my understanding that the servers need to be part of a domain for this. Being able to give people a username and password that works on all servers would be useful too, so I can lock up the admin password.  All machines will be running Windows 2008R2 and they will all be running Windows Firewall, so I need to be able to allow the other machines to connect to this server, but lock out everyone else.   So my question is: what ports do I need to allow the machines to connect to the Domain Controller over?
Installing QGIS with ECW support on Mac? How do I remove hidden backup files? I have files ending in ~ in my home directory, and I want to delete them. How do I do that? How do I prevent this backup functionality? Regular expression to match balanced parentheses Is there a subtle difference between "somebody" and "someone", "anybody" and "anyone"? I have seen this construct in scripts a lot and used it myself, but it bothers me that I can't seem to find it in the documentation.  Example:  [ -f file1 ] &amp;&amp; [ -f file2 ] &amp;&amp; echo "Both files exist." || echo "One or the other file doesn't exist."   This could also be done with backslashes before the newlines, as mentioned in man bash:  If a \&lt;newline&gt; pair appears,  and  the  backslash  is  not itself  quoted,  the \&lt;newline&gt; is treated as a line continuation (that is, it is removed from the input stream and effectively ignored).   Example:  [ -f file1 ] &amp;&amp; \ [ -f file2 ] &amp;&amp; \ echo "Both files exist." || \ echo "One or the other file doesn't exist."   ...but this doesn't seem to be necessary.  The first version above works even without the backslashes.  Where can I find this in man bash?  (Also, is this bash specific or POSIX compliant?) Obviously, you can use the | (pipe?) to represent OR, but is there a way to represent AND as well?  Specifically, I'd like to match paragraphs of text that contain ALL of a certain phrase, but in no particular order. I've seen a couple other questions with this error message but it seemed that the host and ip in question were ones the OP knew. These two are unrelated to my server.  Where and why is postfix generating this error?

I have a understanding of what I'm doing but not the complete knowledge to make the circuit work correctly without doing some guessing so I figured I would ask here.   I'm planning on working with and I need a length of 16", 15" and 14" to make then look correct in my housings. When I did the math the 19.7" strips have about 1.5 LEDs per inch and need to be segmented into 3 LED groups so I may have to get creative with the placement.   Ffom what I understand I need 2 diodes and a resistor. One diode on the parking lamp power, and one on the turn signal/brake power and then a resistor on the parking lamp  wire to step down the voltage enough to make them dim enough to use as a parking lamp and distinguish it from the brighter turn/brake lamps.  Does anyone know what size resistor and what size diode to use in this project? The voltage, with the car running, is around 13.8V to the rear lamps. I figure it should be running around 7V to the LEDs to light them as parking lamps.  Also will leaving out a cluster of 3 LEDs change the strips intensity to where I'll need different resistors for each strip? How to convert physical Ubuntu operating system into a virtual machine? A while ago I turned my PC into dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu. But my experience is, that I rarely boot into Ubuntu, so I wanted to make it available as virtual machine in Windows rather than as a second OS. Can you provide me some information which is the tool of my choice and how I can achieve this migration? I already have VMWare Player installed. Decode escaped Url without using HttpUtility.UrlDecode Is there any function that converts an escaped Url string to its unescaped form? System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode() can do that job but I don't want to add a reference to System.Web.dll. Since my app is not a web application, I don't want to add a dependency for only using a function in an assembly.  UPDATE: Check  about the same issue. How should you interview for QA *Automation* positions? Why don't electrons crash into the nuclei they "orbit"? Parallel website running a copy of my original website We have been working on a gaming website. Recently while making note of the major traffic sources, I noticed a website that I found to be a carbon-copy of our website. It uses our logo, and everything else the same as ours, but with a different domain name.   Their domain name is not however pointing to our site because at several places the links are like: carbonccopy-website/our-links. This website even has links to some images as: carbonccopy-website/our-images.   How could they have done that, and what can I do to stop it? I have several hundred Illustrator files that are formatted similarly, and for legal reasons I need to replace a font in all of them. Even with the 'Find font' tool, that's a hell of a lot of fonts to replace by hand.  Is there some way of automating it? For example, using Bridge? Illustrator (CS5) doesn't offer many options in Bridge, compared to the automation options offered by Photoshop. I also don't see any option for running actions on multiple Illustrator files.  Also, creating a repeatable action for replacing the font doesn't seem to work: instead of repeating my action, it brings up the dialog box an waits for me to tell it to replace them.  As a programmer I'm prepared to edit the files directly if it can be done without breaking them.    Update: The 'Batch...' menu item from Illustrator's actions panel menu allows the same action to be performed on a folder of files. It doesn't fix the Find Fonts action waiting for input though. Toggling the dialog off makes the action do nothing at all. WinForms Global Exception Handling? Suppose $X$ is binomial $B(n,p)$. How can I find the probability that $X$ is even ?  I know $$P(X = k ) = \frac{ n!}{(n-k)!k!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k} $$  where $X=1,....,n$. Are they just asking to find $P(X = 2m )$ for some $m &gt; 0$ ? Program counter goes to the end of code and 8051 Restarts I have an 8051 MCU which I use keil to program it with C. My problem is that the micro-controller restarts at the end of some functions while they should return.  Using a debugger I tried to check it line by line. And I figured out the the MCU is not restated right after the end of the function. The PC(progam counter) goes to somewhere else (sometime somewhere that there is not any code to execute) and then it increases one by one until the end of code. It is very strange for me because I write my code in C and never seen the type of error previously.    I think this problem might be related to the compiler settings and thus I post the settings here:   Assembler settings: XR GEN DB EP NOMOD51  Compiler settings:  DB OE BR LARGE OPTIMIZE(11, SIZE) DEFINE(SILABS_PLATFORM_WMB912) DEFINE(SILABS_WMCU_SI106x)  Linker settings: CODE REMOVEUNUSED CLASSES(BIT(0x20.0-0x2F.7), DATA(D:0-D:0x7F), IDATA(I:0-I:0xFF), XDATA(X:0-X:0xFFF), CODE(C:0-C:0xFBFF), CONST(C:0-C:0xFBFF))  I tried both large and small settings but the problem remains. Kindly help me if you know the reason. GeoJSON does not appear on my Leaflet map I'm a beginner in Leaflet and I need help to deal with GeoJSON files.  I succeeded in creating a Leaflet basemap. I can add markers without troubles but I cannot manage to show a GeoJSON layer.  Here is the code I picked up from Leaflet Tutorials website  :  var geojsonFeature = {     "type": "Feature",     "properties": {         "name": "Coors Field",         "amenity": "Baseball Stadium",         "popupContent": "This is where the Rockies play!"     },     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [-104.99404, 39.75621]     } }; L.geoJSON(geojsonFeature).addTo(map);   Unfortunatly, the GeoJSON does not appear in my map.   Can you tell me where I missed something ?    Alright, you're fine Francisco, this part was OK. I changed the whole script and it works !  However, would you know how to load a GeoJSON from an external source ?  I tried this :   var geojsonLayer = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("foo.geojson");        geojsonLayer.addTo(map);   from   but this definitely does not work.  Any ideas ?    I am not skilled enough to understand your advice.  Here is the whole code I am using to create my map :  &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;data&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.css" /&gt; &lt;script src="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;   &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.stamen.com/js/tile.stamen.js?v1.3.0"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/js/leaflet-0.7.2/leaflet.ajax.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="htdocs/webmap101/leaflet.ajax.min.js" type="text/javascript" &gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;style&gt;    #map {width: 960px; height:700px;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt;   &lt;div id="map"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script&gt;   // create map var lat = 44.933331; var lon = 4.9;  var map = L.map('map',{center: [lat,lon],zoom: 6});   // basemaps var base = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',   {attribution: '© &lt;a href="http://osm.org/copyright"&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt; contributors'  }); var toner = new L.StamenTileLayer("toner"); var watercolor = new L.StamenTileLayer("watercolor"); var landscape = L.tileLayer('https://tile.thunderforest.com/landscape/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'); base.addTo(map);   // markers  var mark1=L.marker([lat,lon]) mark1.addTo(map)    // layers panel  L.control.layers({"base": base, "water": watercolor, "toner": toner , "landscape" : landscape}).addTo(map);    // geojson files var geojsonFeature = {     "type": "Feature",     "properties": {         "name": "Coors Field",         "amenity": "Baseball Stadium",         "popupContent": "This is where the Rockies play!"     },     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [-104.99404, 39.75621]     } }; L.geoJSON(geojsonFeature).addTo(map);    //ajax  var geojsonLayer = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("foo.geojson");        geojsonLayer.addTo(map);  &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   I know it's a bit messy but this is actually my very first HTML script... I guess I did not include in a proper way the AJAX library.    Actually, I just want a solution to replace the lines where I create the GeoJSON by something that tells javascript to load the GeoJSON stored locally in my folder. This :  var geojsonFeature = {     "type": "Feature",     "properties": {         "name": "Coors Field",         "amenity": "Baseball Stadium",         "popupContent": "This is where the Rockies play!"     },     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [-104.99404, 39.75621]     } };   should be transformed into something like (I don't know if it exists) :  var geojsonFeature = [foo.geosjon]   where "foo.geosjson" is a file like :  { "type": "FeatureCollection", "name": "abies", "crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" } }, "features": [ { "type": "Feature" Book about a boy who travels to a parallel universe to get a book I can't remember the gender of the main character.  I remember bits and pieces from different books, but I think they're all part of the same series. The pieces may not be in order or from multiple books.   Boy somehow ends up in a mirror universe that's darker and seems to have no people. He has to travel to a certain office(?) building and steal a book. I think this is towards the end of the book (I can't remember the events leading up to it). I think he finds the portal in a forest or something behind his school. He goes into the ocean with mermaids or something and has to save the ocean from pollution. Aliens exist and are observing Earth, because they think it's undeveloped and are waiting for them to be advanced enough. His mother ends up in hospital and he does something to save her. He goes to Ireland(?) and enters a mountain or something to find a race of people. I can't remember who showed him how, but I'm pretty sure she used magic. He goes to Mars and saves a race from war with themselves(?). This place was hidden inside an illusion. He's also grouped with a linguist that learned their language. He travels to another world where there's a prince. I can't remember, but I think it might've been part of a tournament. His sister goes to a robot planet through a portal. I think the actual planet was a robot/AI and had lots of little robots on it. Can't remember what happens here, but he goes there and saves her from something.   It was set a few years ago, when computers weren't common (his family got one early in the first book, I think).  Thanks in advance if someone finds it.
