Domino替代名稱

這是r5管理員內的說明(在系統維護之下), cut部分內容供你參考, 主要是用cert.id來認證cert.id來新增替代名稱, 之後再用此cert.id去註冊公司人員, 就可使用替代名稱了

新增替代名稱到認證者
在此程序中，您指派替代名稱及其相關的語言給組織認證者 ID 及其組織單位 (子項) 認證者。您先重新認證組織認證者，然後使用認證者來重新認證其組織單位認證者。
1. 對於您要新增替代名稱的認證者 ID，必須具有存取權。
2. 按一下「Domino 管理員」中的「設定」索引標籤。
3. 選擇「認證」，然後按一下「認證」。
4. 選取認證者 ID，然後輸入密碼。
5. 選取您要重新認證的 ID，然後輸入密碼。欲新增替代語言及名稱到組織 (根) 認證者，請選取步驟 4 及 5 中的同一 ID。
6. 按一下「新增」。
7. 在「語言」欄位中選擇替代語言。如果您要重新認證組織單位認證者，可供使用的語言包括所有與組織 (根) 認證者 ID 相關的語言。
8. (選擇性) 輸入組織的國碼。此選項僅供組織認證者 ID 使用。
9. 在「組織/組織單位」欄位中輸入組織/組織單位的名稱。
10. 按一下「確定」。
11. (選擇性) 欲新增另一個替代語言，請按一下「新增」按鈕，並重複步驟 7 到 10。
12. 按一下「確認」。

Debian Linux安裝記錄

作者：NoInfoNoFear

这几天安装了最新的debian，通过网络安装的。
贴出来共享，希望大家指教。


1.安装基本系统(debian-31r2-i386-netinst.iso)

(1)用cdrom启动，选择expert26，按照步骤安装，注意要选择2.6的内核，还有，一定
要设置好网络，设置的内容会直接存入配置文件，否则你要手工修改配置文件来设
置网络，因为此时我们只拥有基本系统。

(2)安装过程中重启后，按照步骤一步步设置，但要跳过“选择并安装软件包”这一项，
因为它总是出错（反正我安装的时候一直都出错）。
我使用的apt源是：
台湾：ftp://ftp.tku.edu.tw
日本：ftp://ftp2.jp.debian.org
实测这两个网站最快，我使用的是网通宽带。
尽量不要使用国内的apt源，不知为何，速度都很慢。

(3)手工重启，因为这是处在一个奇怪的状态中（安装程序的FrameBuffer模式，其实
可以不重启，直接进行下一步。不过不重启，zhcon可能无法正常工作）。

现在得到的是一个最基本的debian环境。准备在这个环境中安装其他软件。

2.安装基本工具

(1) 启动后，以root登录后，执行下面的命令，将字符集改为英文。这是因为此时没
有任何显示汉字的环境，如果默认字符集是中文，我们看到的提示信息是乱码。
# export LANG=C

(2) 刷新apt源。这一步不是必需的，因为安装基本系统时已经刷新了。
# apt-get update

(3) 保存内核配置
# cp /boot/config-2.6.8-2-386 ~/

(4) 安装zhcon字符界面中文环境
# apt-get install zhcon
安装时会弹出一个界面，要求修改locales，请设置好，最后将默认locale成zh_CN，
设置的结果在重新登录时才起作用。会出现警告信息，不用理会这些信息，直接回答Y安装。
因为升级glibc，安装过程会询问你是否删除当前运行的内核影像，你可以删除它，后面会
编译最新内核，它已经没必要存在了，但删除后千万不要重启机器。

(4) 进入字符界面中文环境
# logout
# 登录
# zhcon
重新登录是为了保证locale设置成zh_CN

(5) 安装编译内核的工具
# apt-get install kernel-package
# apt-get install libncurses5-dev
# apt-get install fakeroot
# apt-get install module-init-tools
# apt-get install initrd-tools
# apt-get install procps
# apt-get install wget tar bzip2 vim lftp


3. 安装新内核
(1) 下载内核 2.6.17.3
# cd /usr/src
# wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...6.17.3.tar.bz2
(2) 解包
# tar xvfj linux-2.6.16.3.tar.bz2
(3) 配置和编译
# ln -sv linux-2.6.16.3 linux
# cd linux
# make prproper
# cp ~/config-2.6.8-2-386 .config
# make menuconfig
这一步很麻烦，非常不好配，我的声卡现在还美哟配好，唉！慢慢诼磨吧。
# make
# make modules_install
(4) 保存内核及配置
# cp .config /boot/config-2.6.17.3
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.17.3
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.17.3
(5) 制作内存镜像
# cd /boot
# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.3 2.6.17.3
(5) 修改/boot/grub/menu.lst
将vmlinux-2.6.8-2-386 改为kernel-2.6.17.3
将initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386 改为initrd.img-2.6.17.3
(6) 重启，注意每次重启登录后，需要运行zhcon，进入汉字环境。

4. 更新系统
# apg-get upgrade

5. 安装基本图形界面
# apt-get install x-window-system-core
安装后会出现配置界面，按照提示配置。安装好后，启动试试。
# startx
如果不成功，可以用下面的命令重新配置：
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

6. 安装中文字体
# cd /usr/share/fonts
# mkdir zh_CN
# cd zh_CN
将字体文件拷贝到此目录下
# mkfontscale
# mkfontdir
修改/etc/X11/xorg.cong，找到FontPath行，增加一行：
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/zh_CN"

7. 安装gnome核心
# apt-get install gnome-core
安装后，直接启动
# startx
这时就进入gnome环境了，而且汉字也显示出来了。

8. 安装小企鹅中文输入法
# apt-get install fcitx
# cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d
增加一个文件：40xfcitx-startup，内容是
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
fcitx
启动图形界面，输入法可以使用了。

9. 安装kde核心
# apt-get install kde-core
# apt-get install kde-i18n-zhcn
增加一个文件 ~/.xinitrc，内容是：
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
fcitx &
exec startkde
执行startx就进入KDE的设置界面了，而且小企鹅输入法也配置好了。
如果想用startx启动gnome界面，将~/.xinitrc文件删除即可。

但是，安装可Kde后，gnome的“应用程序菜单”打开时一直闪烁，无法使用。这好像是一个Bug
大家的说法各不相同，详情请看： http://bbs.linuxsir.org/showthread.php?t=254773&page=2
我使用了上面的一个方法，就是退出图形界面，执行：
# apt-get install menu
问题解决了！

10.安装firefox浏览器
# apt-get install firefox
安装完后需要重新启动，否则出错
可惜firefox界面是英文的，我不知道怎么改成中文的。

11.安装完整版的gnome
# apt-get install gnome
很耗时，我没有测过。

12.安装完整版的kde
# apt-get install kde
很耗时，我也没有测过。

Drivers

The Ralink RT2501USB wireless LAN chipset is supported by three native drivers:

• rt73 (Legacy driver)

  • Released by Ralink under the GPL.
  • Not generally recommended for use.

• rt73 (Enhanced legacy driver)

  • Source provided by the rt73-source package.

• rt73usb (Next-generation driver)

  • The recommended driver to use.
  • Included in the mainline kernel starting from 2.6.24.

  • Source previously packaged in rt2x00-source, removed from Debian to resolve bug 474189.

Both the enhanced legacy and next-generation drivers are maintained by the rt2x00 project. Supported devices are listed at the end of this page.

All drivers require non-free firmware for their operation. This can be provided by the firmware-ralink package.

The RT2501USB is not to be confused with the RT2500USB, which is supported by different drivers.

Installation

rt73usb (next-generation driver)

Lenny

Using Etch? Skip to the Etch section.

As drivers from the rt2x00 project are included in the mainline kernel, the rt73usb driver is present on your system. Firmware is required to be installed prior to driver operation:

1. Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:

   # Debian Lenny
   deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

2. Update the list of available packages, then install the firmware-ralink and wireless-tools packages:

   aptitude update
   aptitude install firmware-ralink wireless-tools

3. The necessary kernel module should be automatically loaded. If necessary, it can be manually loaded via:

   modprobe rt73usb

   If not already performed, connect the device to your system.

4. Verify your device has an available interface:

   iwconfig

5. Raise the interface to activate the radio, for example:

   ifconfig wlan0 up

6. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.

Troubleshooting

• Examine the kernel ring buffer (dmesg) to verify the required firmware files are being loaded by the driver. Lack of firmware is the usual reason for the "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" error message.

  • Ensure the firmware-ralink package is installed.

Etch with 2.6.18 kernel

" src="http://wiki.debian.org/htdocs/modern/img/attention.png" title="" width="15" height="15"> Although an etch/rt2x00-source package is available, this version is considered experimental and only supports a small number of devices. The devices which are supported are likely to encounter issues.

It is highly recommended to use an EtchAndAHalf kernel image, which will provide your system with an updated rt73usb driver included as part of the kernel. You will not need to use etch/rt2x00-source.

Install an EtchAndAHalf kernel image (apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf and install a package appropriate for your system), restart your system to boot using this kernel, then follow the Etch with 2.6.24 kernel procedure below.

Etch with 2.6.24 kernel

As drivers from the rt2x00 project are included in the mainline kernel, the rt73usb driver is present on your system. Firmware is required to be installed prior to driver operation:

1. Install the etch/wireless-tools package:

   aptitude update
   aptitude install wireless-tools

2. Add the Debian Backports repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, also including the "non-free" component. For example:

   # Backported packages for Debian Etch
   deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free

3. Update the list of available packages and install the etch-backports/debian-backports-keyring package:

   aptitude update
   aptitude -t etch-backports install debian-backports-keyring

   As your system does not yet have the GnuPG archive key of the backports.org repository installed, you will be asked to confirm installation of a package from an untrusted repository. Enter Yes when prompted.

4. Install the etch-backports/firmware-ralink package:

   aptitude update
   aptitude -t etch-backports install firmware-ralink

5. The necessary kernel module should be automatically loaded. If necessary, it can be manually loaded via:

   modprobe rt73usb

   If not already performed, connect the device to your system.

6. Verify your device has an available interface:

   iwconfig

7. Raise the interface to activate the radio, for example:

   ifconfig wlan0 up

8. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.

Troubleshooting

• Examine the kernel ring buffer (dmesg) to verify the required firmware files are being loaded by the driver. Lack of firmware is the usual reason for the "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" error message.

  • Ensure the etch-backports/firmware-ralink package is installed.

rt73 (enhanced legacy driver)

Lenny

While use of the next-generation driver is preferred, the enhanced legacy driver can alternatively be used. This is available as a pre-built module packages made against Debian stock kernels, but can also be generated on your system via module-assistant.

Pre-Built Module

1. Add "contrib" and "non-free" components to /etc/apt/sources.list. For example:

   # Debian Lenny
   deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

2. Update the list of available packages. Install the firmware-ralink, rt73-common, the relevant enhanced legacy module and wireless-tools packages:

   aptitude update
   aptitude install firmware-ralink rt73-common rt73-modules-$(uname -r) wireless-tools

3. Load the enhanced legacy driver:

   modprobe rt73

   This module will be automatically loaded when your system is restarted and the device is inserted. If not already performed, connect the device to your system.

4. Verify your device has an available interface:

   iwconfig

5. Raise the interface to activate the radio, for example:

   ifconfig wlan0 up

6. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.

Module Assistant

1. Add "contrib" and "non-free" components to /etc/apt/sources.list. For example:

   # Debian Lenny
   deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

2. Update the list of available packages. Install the firmware-ralink, module-assistant, rt73-common and wireless-tools packages:

   aptitude update
   aptitude install firmware-ralink module-assistant rt73-common wireless-tools

3. Build and install a rt73-modules-* package within your system:

   m-a prepare
   m-a a-i rt73

4. Load the enhanced legacy driver:

   modprobe rt73

   This module will be automatically loaded when your system is restarted and the device is inserted. If not already performed, connect the device to your system.

5. Verify your device has an available interface:

   iwconfig

6. Raise the interface to activate the radio, for example:

   ifconfig wlan0 up

7. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.

Troubleshooting

• Examine the kernel ring buffer (dmesg) to verify the required firmware files are being loaded by the driver. Lack of firmware is the usual reason for the "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" error message.

  • Ensure the firmware-ralink package is installed.

Etch

You are required to acquire and compile the rt2x00 sources, as these are not packaged. This procedure is documented at the rt2x00 project's website: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rt2x00_GIT_instructions

1 Migrating Lotus Notes from one Windows machine to another

You have a new Windows workstation to which you need to transfer your Lotus Notes configurations and data from an existing Windows workstation. To do this, follow these steps:

Phase I. On the workstation that will be decommissioned:

1. Shut down the Notes Client.
   
   
2. Make a backup copy of the core system files as well as the optional files, if desired.

Phase II. On the new workstation:

1. Install the Notes 8 Client.
   
   
2. Complete the setup of the Lotus Notes Client (if a copy of the user’s ID file cannot be pulled from the server, point to the backup copy).
   
   
3. Shut down the Lotus Notes Client.
   
   
4. Rename/delete the new local files (for example, bookmark.OLD) you want to replace with the existing ones.
   
   
5. Copy over the existing files to their respective directories.
   
   
6. Launch the Notes Client to confirm all existing data can be accessed.

2 What files to copy

When migrating Lotus Notes 8 data files to a new workstation, you must copy over the core files below to the new workstation in order to continue with the same settings available on the previous workstation.

2.1 Core system files that must be copied over

Located in the Notes\Data directory:

1. Bookmark.nsf. Contains the saved bookmarks and Home Page information.
   
   
2. Desktop6.ndk. This file is the Workspace that maps to the bookmarks.
   
   
3. Personal Address Book. Typically called Names.nsf (check the NAMES entry in the Notes.ini to confirm), this file contains personal contact entries, mailing groups, Connection documents, and Location documents.
   
   
4. User's .ID file (usually username.ID). This is the User ID file, needed to access Notes.

2.2 Other files that should be transferred if available and/or used

Located in the Notes\Data directory:

1. Any local personal databases that have been created (*.nsf). These applications, if created on the previous workstation, are stored in the Data directory.
   
   
2. User.dic. This file holds customized personal dictionary contents. It contains all the words that were added to the user’s personal dictionary through the "Add to Dictionary" option in the Spell Checker.
   
   
3. Headlines.nsf. This file should be copied over if subscriptions are enabled. It contains the Application Subscriptions information.
   
   
4. Perweb.nsf. This is the Personal Web Navigator application that contains Web browser information.
   
   
5. Internet.nsf. This file contains information from user’s newsgroup subscriptions (NNTP).
   
   
6. Busytime.nsf. This file contains the local free time information.

Located in the Notes\Data\archive directory:

1. Local mail archive (usually a_username.nsf). This file contains the user’s archived mail. It is, by default, stored in the Archive subdirectory; however, if you’re not sure, have the user check the Settings tab of the Archive Settings.

2.3 Other optional files that can be copied over

Located in the Notes Program directory:

1. Notes.ini. This file is a customizable settings file that contains information about your use of Notes, including but not limited to the information provided during setup and options selected in the user preferences.Proceed with caution if copying this file as the information in the existing one may conflict with the setup information of the new client on the new workstation.

NOTE: If the Notes client is not installed in the same drive name and directory structure, then edit the Notes.ini to update any entries that contain drive and directory information.


Located in the Notes\Data directory:

1. Local replica of the mail file (usually username.nsf). It contains your Mail, Calendar, and To Do list. This will only show up in the Data directory if a local replica of the server Mail file was created. Copying it over may save some time and network traffic.
   
   
2. Cluster.ncf. This file contains network information and will automatically be created, if it is not copied over. It is used on the client to help increase performance to cluster members.

3 Migrating Lotus Notes from a Linux workstation to a Windows workstation

You have a Linux workstation from which you need to transfer your Lotus Notes configurations and data to a new Windows workstation. To do this, follow these steps:

Phase I. On the Linux workstation that will be decommissioned:

1. Shut down the Notes Client.
   
   
2. Make a backup copy of the core system files as well as the optional files, if desired (listed below)

NOTE: On a Linux workstation the local files are stored under /home/username/lotus/notes/data. If the GUI is used, the files can be saved to a backup drive/device by a simple copy/paste or drag-and-drop action.

If, however, the command line is used, follow these steps to save files to an external device:

1. Switch to the root user and create a folder, using the following commands:
   
   for RedHat, SuSE and similar Linux distributions:
   
   su –
   mkdir /mnt/foldername
   
   for debian Linux distributions like Ubuntu:
   
   sudo –s
   mkdir /mnt/foldername
   
   
   
2. The device should mount automatically once connected to the Linux box; however, if it doesn’t, then use the following command to mount the device:
   
   mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/foldername
   
   where "sdb1" is where your device was detected (this could be different; check "dmesg" to see where the device was registered), and "/mnt/foldername" is the folder in which the device will be mounted (must exist).
   
   
3. Use the "cd" command to change to the correct directory:
   
   cd /home/username/lotus/notes/data
   
   
4. Use the "cp" command to copy files from the data directory to the device:
   
   cp –Rv . /mnt/foldername
   
   –R to copy directories recursively
   v to explain what is being done in order to keep track of what files have been copied over
   
   Files can also be copied individually, using this command:
   
   cp bookmark.nsf /mnt/foldername
   
   Copy each additional file that you want backed up to the device, using the above command.
   
   
5. Use the "unmount" command to properly unmount the device and avoid corruption of any files:
   
   unmount /mnt/foldername

Phase II. On the new Windows workstation:

1. Install the Lotus Notes 8 Client for Windows.
   
   
2. Complete the setup of the Notes Client (if a copy of the user’s ID file cannot be pulled from the server, point to the backup copy).
   
   
3. Shut down the Notes Client.
   
   
4. Rename/delete the new local files (for example, bookmark.OLD) you want to replace w ith the existing ones, and copy over the existing files to their respective directories.
   
   
5. Launch the Notes Client to confirm all existing data can be accessed.

3.1 Core system files that must be copied over

When migrating Lotus Notes 8 data files to a new workstation, you must copy over the core files below to the new workstation in order to continue with the same settings available on the previous workstation.
