Disabling user switching in CentOS 6
by Vanhorn, Mike 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool --set "/apps/gnome-screensaver/user_switch_enabled" "false" gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool --set "/desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching" "true" neither of which work, either. Does anyone know the proper way to disable user switching with CentOS 6? Thanks! --- Mike VanHorn Senior Computer Systems Administrator College of Engineering and Computer Science Wright State University 265 Russ Engineering Center 937-775-5157 michael.vanhorn(a)wright.edu http://www.cecs.wright.edu/~mvanhorn/

Understanding RPM trigger scripts?
by James Pearson 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

I'm trying to get my head around RPM trigger scripts - but currently getting very confused ... I have a custom RPM which has in its spec file a '%triggerin' script for the 'kernel' RPM - i.e. a script that I want to run when the kernel RPM is upgraded/installed This works OK - once my custom RPM is installed, if the kernel is subsequently upgraded/installed, my trigger script is run However, the same trigger script is also run when I upgrade my custom RPM - which I don't want - and so far, I can't find a reliable way of making sure it isn't run in this case. The more I search for an answer, the more I get confused :-) I know this is a bit off-topic and obscure, but does anyone know how to make sure such a trigger script is only run when the RPM that triggers it is upgraded/installed - and not when the RPM that contains the trigger script is upgraded? Thanks James Pearson

gspca tarballs?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Does anyone know of a reliable site to d/l a tarball of gspca? *NOTHING* I've tried works on those two servers, suggesting to me that there's some weird bug in the driver that's in the kernel. They remain, as I mentioned, about the top 15% ok, and the rest green screen (which I've googled to find other folks, years ago, complaining about), so the only thing left I can think of is to try to build the driver myself. mark

change sudoers remotely
by Tim Dunphy 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

hello list, I've been asked to give someone sudo rights across an entire environment without the benefit of something like puppet or chef or cfengine et al. What I've come up with so far is this: ssh -t miaprbicsra04v sudo -S /bin/echo "rsherman ALL=\(ALL\) NOPASSWD: /sbin/service /bin/rm /usr/bin/du /bin/df" >> sudo tee /etc/sudoers Right now that's just to one host, but I plan on substituting a list of hosts once I get farther along. Problem is, the output hangs on the tee command. Not sure why. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

CentOS 6.4 login after reboot after apcupsd shutdown - shows POWER FAILURE
by Rob Kampen 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi list, just putting a new server through its automatic shutdown triggered by the UPS / apcupsd. All worked faultlessly, including powering up when power came back on to the UPS. So then I go to log in and get "POWER FAILURE" followed by "Authentication failure" - this is on the console via SSH I just get "POWER FAILURE" and the ssh connection drops. So I guess the, log everyone out and stop further logins instruction is still lurking around somewhere. How do I regain control of my server?? Does this mean I need to boot with a rescue disk and edit some file somewhere?? How do I prevent this re-occurring, after a perfect shutdown and restart, only to get stymied here. Google has lots of help for dealing with various corruptions due to power failure - not the case here, the POST, grub, init restart all look just fine. TIA

This isn't supposed to be difficult (how to nntp post to the Gmane Pan user group)
by Rock 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

I realize this is (mostly) off topic, but I'm befuddled as to *how* one can post to the Gmane Pan Users' group (gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user) using any nntp USENET client (e.g., Pan, on Centos). I'm already subscribed (by having sent an email to pan-users(a)nongnu.org) but I just want that USENET group to work like *this* USENET group, where I can post using a server:port login:password combination such as we use here: Server: news.gmane.org Port: 119 Login: blank Password: blank User: Rock I've looked here (http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user) and if the answer is there, I don't see it (maybe I missed it?). My basic question is so simply I'm shocked I'm having to ask it (of the wrong group even) ... which is ... the following: Q: How on earth is one supposed to post to the Gmane Pan users using an nntp client (which requires a server name and port & login/password)?
