problem with machine "freezing" for short periods
I have two HP dc7800 convertible minitowers that are exhibiting the
following issue: every 5-10 minutes, they will "freeze" for about 30
seconds, and then pick right back up again. During the freeze, it seems
that nothing at all happens on the system; the clock doesn't even advance
(it just picks up again with the next second, and that 30-or-so seconds
are lost).
I've tried both

Disabling user switching in CentOS 6
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

updating 5.6 but not going to 6.0
I'm confused as to how to install updates for CentOS 5.6 without upgrading
to 6.0. When I do a "yum check-updates", the new *-release packages for
6.0 are listed, so I don't think I want to do a simply "yum update".
Is there a way to update 5.6 without going to 6.0?

restricting access to an NIS netgroup
I am using CentOS 5.7. I have an /etc/security/access.conf file which has
the following:
+ : root : LOCAL
+ : @mynetgroup : ALL
- : ALL : ALL
I thought this is supposed to restrict access to the system to only root
and the accounts in the mynetgroup netgroup; however, anyone NIS account
is still able to login. It appears that the access.conf is being ignored
completely, so I'm thinking

Getting confirmation for power button
Using CentOS 5.8:
Currently on my workstations, when I press the power button the computer
immediately does a 'shutdown -h now' (per /etc/acpid/events/power.conf).
Is there a way to change it so that a confirmation dialog comes up, rather
than an immediate shutdown?
I assume that I am going to need to change that power.conf file to tell
some program that the power button's been

iscsid still starting up after turning it off
I have a set of CentOS 5.7 workstations, on which I have turned of iscsid
using 'chkconfig iscid off'. However, when some of them reboot, iscsid
starts anyway.
Also, when I do an 'service --status-all", iscsid is listed twice (this is
true on both the workstations where iscsid starts and the ones where
iscsid doesn't start), which seems to indicate, I think, that it is

CUPS not generating a printcap file
According to all of the documentation I can find, an /etc/printcap file
(or whatever filename is specified with the Printcap directive) is
generated by cupsd ever time a printer is added or removed. On all of my
CentOS 6.7 systems, this is NOT happening. I can restart cups and add or
remove printers over and over and it still doesn't generate the printcap
file.
Is this a known issue, or is

Well, if I just run audit2why again, it always tells me the same thing. However, I have now discovered that if I unset allow_ypbind, and then reset it to 1, audit2why then says

setting up auto logout in CentOS 6
I would like to have my lab workstations logout a session after the person has been idle for a certain period of time. After some searching on the web, I got into
/etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-session.schemas
and set the default value of max_idle_action to ?forced-logout?:

can't create printers after upgrading cups
It looks like this may just be a bug upstream:

how many people still use NIS?
Hello listmates,
I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to
anything but NIS thus far. See here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/
http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html
Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for
authentication?
Thanks.
