HTTP Status 404 - /nps/servlet/imanauthentication

The above is a nice error you get on new install of iManager 2.7.5. It's always fun when it takes you hours to install a product...NOT

This error can be fixed by replacing one file:

cp /var/opt/novell/iManager/nps/WEB-INF/newweb.xml /var/opt/novell/iManager/nps/WEB-INF/web.xml

Then restart tomcat.

Do people not test their software?

ldconfig Segmentation fault on SLES 11 SP2

To resolve just delete the following file:

/var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache

Got this beautiful error when trying to re-create one of our Materialized views (MV). Sadly googling did not seem to provide a solution. To fix this I had to drop the MV log on the 'parent' database for the table in question. I could then re-create the MV.
