useradd -r doesn't work right in some contexts
by Florin Andrei 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

"useradd -r testuser" run as root from an interactive ssh session does the right thing: it creates a user account with a UID in the system users range (< 400). Running the same command as a cron job (just for testing), also does the right thing. Now I'm trying to accomplish the same result via chef-client. I'm trying to run "useradd -r" as a simple command, as a bash command, or as a script, from chef-client. It does create the user account, but the UID is in the normal range (> 600), not the system range. It can't be a Chef bug, because it is actually running "/usr/sbin/useradd -r username", I'm not using the Chef user resource (although I've tried that with "system true" and it also fails to put the UID in the correct range). There's something about the context where chef-client is running that triggers different results. BTW, chef-client is running as a service via /etc/init.d/chef-client Adding SYS_UID_MAX to /etc/login.defs doesn't help. Any clue what's going on? Why useradd has different behaviors depending on how it's launched? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Since it was discussed earlier, I thought some might find this link interesting : http://secspider.verisignlabs.com/stats.html It is a spider that crawls DNS servers counting both DNSSEC and TLSA records.

Re: [CentOS] Any CentOS 6 Issues on Lenovo Y700?
by Brian Bernard 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Oh, I wouldn't flame you. Hmm, I didn't think of using a virtual machine. The Lenovo has a NVidia 960MX, so I wonder if it would fully work under a virtual machine. The reason why I ask is that I do systems adminstration with meteorological software that requires OpenGL 2.0 and at least 2GB of video ram. Thank you for your reply, Mike.

Any CentOS 6 Issues on Lenovo Y700?
by Brian Bernard 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a Lenovo Y700 Notebook, and wondering if it would work with CentOS 6. Or if anyone has experience with using it under CentOS 6. I assume that the WiFi could be an issue as it uses an Intel 8260 card. I want to make the correct decision. Thank you, Brian Bernard

Bourne shell deprecated?
by Jack Bailey 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hello List, Today someone in a meeting claimed the Bourne shell is deprecated, one of the reasons being it supposedly has security issues. Well that's all news to me, and I cannot find anything online to corroborate the claim. Is this true, is it a bash vs. Bourne FUD, or something else? Thanks, Jack
