I was configuring a new CentOS 6.5 machine to accept Active Directory logins and up until recently you could use the trust pam_mkhomedir.so to auto create home directories on login. This has since been replaced by a new system called Oddjobd and after the standard authconfig tool I enabled the auto create home directories and then Oddjobd fails to start.
After writing the article yesterday about removing a slave from a MySQL replication setup. I was digging around the mysql data directory and noticed that the innodb data file hadn't reduced in size after I dropped the database.
