Hi all, Let's say I activate password expiration for every account (including root) for every 90 days. I understand that cronjob for root will fail when the password expires. The question is, if I setup a cronjob every 90 days to renew the root password like: echo diFficulT123 | passwd --stdin root will it work? I mean at second 1 on the 90th day, which will run first? - The cronjob to renew

Hi. I''ve defined a virtual user "kenneth", and depending on a variable in the node definiton I''d like to add the users to different groups. Consider this example: ###### Code start node "server.example.com" { $server_type = "typeA" realize User[kenneth] } @user {"kenneth": ensure => present, uid => 1000,

Thanks to all of you who are answering my dumb questions about my new CentOS instgallation. I modified /etc/hosts, as the hostname man page seemed to suggest, and rebooted. The hostname is still localhost. I want to change it to jjb-centos. I also want to change the domain name to abilitiessoft.com Thanks, John -- John J.

Is there a web-interface to dovecot under CentOS-6? I want to create a top-level folder (ie at the same level as Inbox) but this doesn't seem to be possible from KMail running on a remote Fedora-6 laptop. I was browsing through the dovecot wiki, and I saw some pictures which seemed to be from a dovecot GUI, but I could not find the name of this program. Alternatively, can I simply create

Hello everybody, I write an update version of ssh-copy-id script in order to support sshd non running on standard port 22. So I added another parameter to the script to allow user to specify the daemon port. I've also changed the way the command line parameter are retrieved in order to have a more "robust" way of getting them using getopts. Due to this change host name must be

I was wondering how Puppet relates to the DMTF''s CIM. AFAICT there is a clear connection between the two, but I see very little discussion on the topic on the list.

I'd like to propose a couple of tweaks to ssh-copy-id: o Change the default ID_FILE from identity.pub to id_dsa.pub or perhaps {id_dsa,id_rsa,identity}.pub to cover all the bases, although the patch below deals only with id_dsa.pub - it would need some more tweaking to deal with more than one (possibly non-existent) file. o If the destination authorized_keys file already contains the

The "ssh-copy-id" program requires that the argument to -i end in .pub, by appending that extension itself if it is missing. But if the file with .pub appended does not exist, ssh-copy-id reports the misleading message "ERROR: No identities found". This patch improves the error message by mentioning the name of the actual file that does not exist. Also, document that the

Hi list, I'm not sure whether this (see below) is a "bug" or a feature but as I cannot find any information on this neither in the INSTALL file nor via ./configure --help or somewhere else, I would like to ask you whether there is an answer to my question.

Hi all, I'm running CentOS 5.4 in a VMware guest, with the host connected to a DHCP enabled LAN When CentOS comes up, I would like to see the IP adress displayed on the welcome screen. This would save me the hassle of logging in the VM, getting the IP, and logging off before finally ssh'ing to the VM. Does anyone have a clue on how to do this ?? Thanks! PS: security is not an issue as

All too often, my ssh session will freeze. I'm fairly certain the problem is at my end. None of the tilde commands work. In particular, ~# and ~. are nonfunctional. I can write to ssh's terminal window from another terminal window. If I kill the ssh process, I can ssh in again. The next time it happens, I will try another ssh session without killing the first one. dmesg did not show me

Hello All, I don't have any reason to believe CENTOS (5.4) is underlying my difficulties but it's what I've got to work with so here's the setup: I have a 2P motherboard with 2 Opteron 2376s and two ethernet ports. The setup is fully virtualized, with Dom0, dom4 and Dom1 up and running. dom4 is attached to a dhcp service on eth0 and has no problems. I've recently

Hi, OpenSSH 5.9 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This release contains a couple of new features and changes and bug fixes. Testing of the new sandboxed privilege separation mode (see below) would be particularly appreciated. Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/ The

Hey all, First off, I'm new to cygwin, rsync, and actually even ssh. I've used ssh clients many times, but server side I'm a bit of a noob. Anyway, here's my problem... I set up a brand spankin new Windows XP box with only two apps installed: copSSH and rsync. I need to tie down all security as tight as possible. From what I've seen/read, it seems to me the only port I need

I was using an older version of backgroundrb and today I started to play with the most recent release. First up, I''d like to say, thanks so much for this library and thanks for making it more stable. From the looks of things, I think it''s going to be easier to use now than it was several months ago when I first started using it. I''d like to make sure I''m using
