Qasr Time - Why 2 Rakat??

Asalamualikum People,

Today morning I was looking for Qasr Namaz (Salah) as I will traveling to Bangalore during the Day.
(Bad time to travel - as the buses wont wait for any salah - Hope insha ALLAH i dont miss any).

But few days back I found some info on the net, which said its OK to pray "4 rakat" even if you are traveling that is if you have time.

But today I found the following and I want you to think about this.

The Shari'ah has allowed the traveller to shorten his prayer while on journey, and to offer only two rak'ahs of Fard at a prayer time where one has normally to offer four rak'ahs.

The Qur'an says: " When you go on a journey, there is no harm if you shorten Salat." [Qur'an 4:101]

The holy Prophet has said: "This is a favour of Allah to you, so you should accept His favour gratefully." (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi)

Also , Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar says: "I have travelled in company with the holy Prophet, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, and have never seen them offering more than two rak'ahs of Fard during a journey." (Bukhari, Muslim)

So I am going back to 2 rakat while traveling.

Cloudera Manager - Duplicate entry 'zookeeper' for key 'NAME'.

We had recently built a cluster using cloudera API’s and had all the services running on it with Kerberos enabled. Next we had a requirement to add another kafka cluster to our already exsisting cluster in cloudera manager. Since it is a quick task to get the zookeeper and kafka up and running. We decided to get this done using the cloudera manager instead of the API’s. But we faced the Duplicate entry 'zookeeper' for key 'NAME' issue as described in the bug below. https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/DISTRO-790 I have set up two clusters that share a Cloudera Manger. The first I set up with the API and created the services with capital letter names, e.g., ZOOKEEPER, HDFS, HIVE. Now, I add the second cluster using the Wizard. Add Cluster->Select Hosts->Distribute Parcels->Select base HDFS Cluster install On the next page i get SQL errros telling that the services i want to add already exist. I suspect that the check for existing service names does n

Zabbix History Table Clean Up

Zabbix history table gets really big, and if you are in a situation where you want to clean it up. Then we can do so, using the below steps. Stop zabbix server. Take table backup - just in case. Create a temporary table. Update the temporary table with data required, upto a specific date using epoch . Move old table to a different table name. Move updated (new temporary) table to original table which needs to be cleaned-up. Drop the old table. (Optional) Restart Zabbix Since this is not offical procedure, but it has worked for me so use it at your own risk. Here is another post which will help is reducing the size of history tables - http://zabbixzone.com/zabbix/history-and-trends/ Zabbix Version : Zabbix v2.4 Make sure MySql 5.1 is set with InnoDB as innodb_file_per_table=ON Step 1 Stop the Zabbix server sudo service zabbix-server stop Script. echo "------------------------------------------" echo " 1.

Access Filter in SSSD `ldap_access_filter` [SSSD Access denied / Permission denied ]

Access Filter Setup with SSSD ldap_access_filter (string) If using access_provider = ldap , this option is mandatory. It specifies an LDAP search filter criteria that must be met for the user to be granted access on this host. If access_provider = ldap and this option is not set, it will result in all users being denied access. Use access_provider = allow to change this default behaviour. Example: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=allowed_user_groups,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Prerequisites yum install sssd Single LDAP Group Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=Group Name,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Multiple LDAP Groups Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = (|(memberOf=cn=System Adminstrators,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)(memberOf=cn=Database Users,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)) ldap_access_filter accepts standa
