John, I realize I can change the setting there using the mouse to select the applications, system setting login screen, etc... (i am also using 4.2) - however, I wish to do this with gconftool on the command line. When I setup a machine I do not want to take the time to set it up using the mouse. just run a quick command that uses gconftool to do it along with other things.... Jerry

I am using gconftool to set a number of parameters up automatically... However, the one parameter I cannot find is under root you should be able to set the "automatic login" on first boot up. This found under "Applications", "System settings", "Login screen", then automatic login. Can someone point me to that setting? THanks, Jerry

rsync to a port other than 22
by Ed Morrison 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I am trying to use rsinc to tranfer my ftp directory from one server to another. I have port 22 closed off due to port knocking and I am trying to direct rsync to use another port. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to use the specified port. Here is my command, if someone could point out my error I would appreciate it: rsync -avr --port=XXX xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/var/ftp /var/ftp The error this generates is: ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359) Thanks, Ed

John, Sorry for the missunderstanding... I am not trying to have root auto login. I am trying to auto login a differnet user. I was just pointing out that root had to set that setting up. The user cannot do that... Sorry for the confusion. Jerry

building a new kernel, problems booting without initrd
by Richard Hubbell 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hello all, Grabbed a new kernel (from kernel.org) to build a custom kernel but it won't boot. I followed the directions at redhat to setup a box without initrd (which I don't want and don't need to use). But the system hangs. Has anyone built a custom kernel without using initrd? I'm using CentOS 4.2. It hangs at or after "Freeing unused memory" Thanks. excerpt from the page: (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/) Udev without initrd Install Fedore Core as usual and reboot. Execute the following commands mkdir /tmp/dev mount --move /dev /tmp/dev sbin/MAKEDEV null console zero mount --move /tmp/dev /dev Install your kernel without an initrd. Reboot. You will get some SELinux errors, and syslogd will not work as expected.
