Temporarily changing default gid

Tags:

I was not satisfied with just chgrp -R files that were created with SVN so decided to do some research on how Linux determines which gid to assign to a file when created.

I was hoping that it was as simple as just changing an environment variable but that was not the case. However, I came across this tlpd.org page:

It brought to my attention the newgrp and id commands. I wrote up a quick  wiki article about this.

Setting up time synchronization

Tags:

Wrote a wiki article on how I setup the NTP server on my Linux server and what I had to do to get my laptop to sync it’s time with the server.

Now that school’s begun, I won’t be doing many BFWorks stuff–if at all. However, I expect to have a busy summer after the semester. I plan to put more time in polishing my experiments in Facebook applications and WordPress plugins.

I also plan to finish some of the projects I begun using Zend Framework.

LDIF directives wiki article

Tags: ,

I quickly wrote up a wiki article about LDIF directives. I find myself going to Google when I forget some of this so figure I might benefit from documenting it myself for future reference.
