...doesn't, then create it. Only thing I found is: if [ grep medintux /etc/group ]; then continue else groupadd medintux fi Apparently I can't seem to "negate" the test, e. g. something like if !(grep medintux /etc/group) Any suggestions for the correct syntax here ? Thanks, Niki

Hi, What's the most simple way to check if my microphone works on a plain CentOS 5.3 desktop? Is there a simple way, for example, to record voice into a simple .wav file? Niki

.... g.: no graphical server, nothing), but why not install just xorg-x11-server-Xorg, then use Conky and forward it to my local display with SSH -X ? I'm pondering this question, thinking about the possible issues... ... so maybe one of you guys here has come up with some solution ? Cheers, Niki

...SMB, ... The networks I'll have to deal with are 100% GNU/Linux (better: 100% CentOS). So my first question is: which solution is the "best" for such a configuration ? By "best" I mean some compromise between "easy" and "reliable". Any suggestions ? Niki Kovacs

Hi, I'm currently installing a CentOS 5 desktop as a public internet access point. The machine shuts down every day automatically at 22:30. Is there a way I can display a message in GNOME at 22:15 warning the user that the machine will shutdown in 15 minutes ? Any suggestions ? Niki Kovacs

Hello, I would like to monitor my UPS Legrand Niky S from a Raspberry Pi3 but I have not found it in the compatibility list. Has anyone been able to monitor an UPS Legrand using NUT? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Daniele

...my microphone to work (mainly to use it with Skype). I've just been looking for a simple audio recording app, as I vaguely remember having seen such a thing before, only I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm using the default GNOME desktop with the latest CentOS 5. Any suggestions? Niki

...'s the first time I work with this sort of hardware. Doing rpm -qa | sort | less shows that most of the packages seem to be installed twice: once for i386 architecture, and then again for x86_64. Is this normal? Or did I mess up something during install (thought I wouldn't know what)? Niki

...'m fluent in german, french and english. I have a good books about 5.x: "RHEL 5 Unleashed" from Sams, "Foundations of CentOS Linux" and "The Definitive Guide to CentOS", both from Apress. Can anyone recommend anything similar on 7.x?

...9;ve done this successfully with desktop environments like GNOME 2, Xfce or KDE. I just copied over the relevant files from ~/.config, ~/.kde4 (IIRC), ~/.gconf or whatever to /etc/skel, and newly created users had their settings ready.

Google even does a pretty good job of translating them for those of us who are Francophonally challended. I find it humorous that it talks about "throwing" an application. :) I guess the original was something like "launching", only in French. -- ---- Fred Smith...

...failed attempts get logged. I also googled a bit, and I think in this domain, fail2ban will be my next experiment. I have this strange feeling that the next step in the "wise" direction consists in describing my ignorance :o) Any suggestions? Cheers from the sunny south of France, Niki

...dth is being eaten by some chinese folks trying to brute-force-ssh their way into the machine. Is there a simple way to banish either single IP addresses or, maybe even better, whole IP classes ? I know it's feasible with iptables, but is there something more easily configurable ? Cheers, Niki

...bc123 -m glagaffe And put that line in a script, so the account is *instantly* activated. I tried it, but to no avail. Looks like there's some burning loop I have to jump through first :o) No security considerations here for the moment, since it's for testing. Any idea how this works? Niki
