In Ubuntu 9.10, how do I change it so as not to show a list of users at the login screen? I would prefer it to be like 9.04 where you typed in the username, then the password.
We've been trying to assign a static IP address to an HP LaserJet 4250 Printer. When we click on the networking tab it asks for a username and password, however it says the admin user is Unauthorized.
We've tried IE 8, Firefox, and Chrome and have even updated the firmware to the latest version.
I'd like to automatically run a shell script every time I authenticate onto my computer. However, all the info I can find about loginhook and Global LoginItems applies only when authenticating to "loginwindow," and not to the "unlock panel."
The unlock panel prompts for a password when waking up from sleep or from a locked screen.
Is there any way to trigger script execution after successfully unlocking the screen?
I've just started using selinux in the last 6 months and am getting to grips with it.
However, using sealert on a new CENTOS 6 server, Im not getting the level of detail I was with CENTOS 5. To illustrate:
Running
sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log
On CENTOS 5 I get:
Summary:
SELinux is preventing postdrop (postfix_postdrop_t) "getattr" to
/var/log/httpd/error_log (httpd_log_t).
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by postdrop. It is not expected that
this access is required by postdrop and this access may signal an
intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
configuration of the application is causing it to require additional
access.
Allowing Access:
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try
to restore the default system file context for
/var/log/httpd/error_log,
restorecon -v '/var/log/httpd/error_log'
If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow
this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow
this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can
disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is
not recommended. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this
package.

Im running exactly the same command. Does anyone have any idea why Im not getting the "Additional information" that I do with CENTOS 5?
Thanks in advance

I have set up a mercurial repo to be served using apache+wsgi+hgweb on OS X.
It is now completely open to anyone who stumbles upon my server on the correct port number..
How can I set it up so that only people with a username+password pair that I approve can pull and/or push from the repo?
I know how to very easily achieve this using ssh, but in this specific case the requirement is that the solution doesn't require defining full fledged user accounts on the machine for each person whom I'd like to give access to the repo.
I've been testing deployment for a website with some virtual servers. I have most of my deployment steps done via kickstart file (package installation and user creation). However, for MySQL I have to:
Run mysql_secure_installation (sets up root password, deletes anonymous users, disallows root login remotely, removes test databases)
./
Then, create the website's databases and the database user.
I'm not sure if this is possible in kickstart---especially the prompts in mysql_secure_installation. Perhaps someone has some suggestions or examples?
I am looking for a school management system to replace a homegrown Access db.
It should be able handle the following for both a Primary and Secondary school
Scheduling classes
Student Enrollment
Allow teacher to enter grades and comments
Generate transcripts and report cards
Handle attendance
Handle tuition billing
It should store data in a server database like SQL Server and it would be nice to have a web interface.
We are open to a commercial system or an Open Source system that comes with support.
Is it possible to generate an FLV out of an MP3 and a JPG, without uselessly looping the image and still be able to seek the audio ?
This command generates a non-seekable video:
ffmpeg -y -i audio.mp3 -i image.jpg -r 1 -acodec copy video.flv
and this one generates a seekable one, but with uselessly looping the image occupying both space and time:
ffmpeg -y -loop_input -i audio.mp3 -i image.jpg -r 1 -acodec copy video.flv -shortest
Is there any way to configure a Windows 7 RDP to require a client certificate to login. So user need to use the certificate and password (just like SSH or client-side certificates in HTTP)
If there is, could you point me a step by step article?

For months now "DLink search" has been hijacking my search engines. I use google chrome, and I have organized my search engines in the handy dandy "manage search engines" tool about a TRILLION times. It never even says D-link is hacking my search engines. It does not show up!
I have read many posts on this forum and others saying that to fix this problem from internet explorer: Setup, internet options, yadayada, magical fairies, and you are solved, but my browser is google chrome! How am I supposed to do this from there! I do not know how to re-setup my Dlink router, which is the cause of the problem! HOW? In those posts with the magical fairies fixing it, HUNDREDS responded saying, "yep, those fairies definitely fixed it right. :)" These people were so satisfied. IT WORKED FOR THEM, WHY NOT ME. I look at it and go ":(" because it does not help me. There are no options for anything to do with this in GOOGLE chrome. PLEASE EXPLAIN and HELP. I see no "SETUP" option, no "Internet Options" button, no anything.
BTW the exact posts are these:
"Uncheck Advanced DNS in the router internet setup. This will take care of it. I had this problem with my DLink router before."
"I had this issue with my DIR-655 and unchecking the Advanced DNS setting in Setup - Internet - Manual Internet Connection Setup fixed it."
"If this is just internet explorer, you can go to Tools Internet Options or Internet Options in Control Panel.
From here, go to the advanced tab and click the Reset button."
"I would set the router's DNS to a site like OpenDNS, and I would ensure the machines are set to get their DNS settings via DHCP or set the machine's DNS setting to OpenDNS. If the router's DNS looks like it was messed with, some bad software know the default passwords for routers and could have changed it. If you don't already I would make sure the password to the router is not default or easy to guess.
I've had spyware change a machine's DNS, but the fact it is happening on all machines makes me wonder if it is the router."
"Something got into your router and changed the dns server most likely, do a hard reset of the router and then change the password to something strong. Also check for a firmware update for the router and apply it as soon as possible."
I have a truecrypt volume that is automatically mounted as a favorite upon login. However, I have other startup programs that depend on it being mounted.
How can I have the password prompt appear and be entered before the other programs run?
I don't want to use a delay, but am happy to try running truecrypt as a service (before login) or login script, if I knew how.
I have created for user file named serverDesktop.ica with following content:
[ApplicationServers]
XenApp=
[XenApp]
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
Address=IP or DOMAIN NAME of the Server
ProxyType=auto
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0
Username=
Domain=
Password=
InitialProgram=
WorkDirectory=
ClientAudio=On
ScreenPercent=100
DesiredHRES=1024
DesiredVRES=768
DesiredColor=8
[WFClient]
Version=2
The above just gives the user remote desktop to the server.
The question is how do I bring up all the Apps in farm via TCP/IP. The Citrix online plugin does not allow the same access as Program Neighborhood did to farms. Please help.
I've installed SQL Express on my PC hoping to do some practice creating tables and then modifying them. I coded a webpage in Visual Studio to, basically, SELECT * from a table in the SQLEXPRESS, but I can never get the connection string to work. Please help
My connection string
"Data
Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial
Catalog=test;User
Id=xaa9-PC\xaa9;Password=abcd;"
Error Message:
Query is select * from tblCustomers
where username='johndoe' error is
Login failed for user 'xaa9-PC\xaa9'.
I'm trying to use a batch file to download a package off my FTP server.
echo username >ftp.txt
echo >>ftp.txt
echo cd directory >>ftp.txt
echo get filename >>ftp.txt
ftp -s:ftp.txt server.com
The server is set to allow anonymous logins on username but when I run the script I get an error: 331 Password required for username
If there is any other useful information let me know.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install some CMS software (Wiccle). I was using XAMPP's MySQL but was getting a lot of errors (the same configuration works on another machine) so thought I'd install MySQL Community Edition to see if the proplem was related to the MySQL server.
When I install and run the MySQL Community Edition service, however, it only works with my XAMPP password, and contains the same tables as the XAMPP install. Is there a common local database file where the database and login info is stored?
Any help appreciated
I have setup subversion on my server and when I do a checkout from localhost it works as expected. However, when I use TortoiseSVN, it says connection attempt failed. I think its a password issue but i'm not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank You!
I have the complete hdd of my laptop encrypted (with the Windows built-in Bitlocker) and thus have to login two times upon booting (Bitlocker and user account).
Since I'm the only person using the computer (and knowing the Bitlocker password), I was thinking about automatically login into the user account to make the boot process smoother and quicker. In which cases/scenarios is this a bad idea and the additional login gives a true additionally layer of security?
In wordpress there are some simple variables that can be set to make the configuration of a navigation proxy server trivial.
var $proxy_host = ""; // proxy host to use
var $proxy_port = ""; // proxy port to use
var $proxy_user = ""; // proxy user to use
var $proxy_pass = ""; // proxy password to use
Are there any equivalents to accomplish the same for joomla?
I've been searching on internet and couldn't find anything.

I thought the pictures associated with our profiles were automatically generated until they were manually changed. A lot of people have these cool identicons based on their IP address.
How can I get my own identicon? I am looking for an online generator. Gravator does not seem to have any options to generate identicons.
Edit: I will probably accept your answer if you just tell me how you made your identicon (and it did not involve downloading/installing stuff)
We have just got Windows 8 Release Preview installed in our offices. We wanted to open it up for viewing to the public and I'd like to know if there is a way to let people log in with their Windows Live ID without having to set up a user account for them beforehand? What we are after is a user being able to walk up to the PC, type in their Windows Live ID and password, and they're logged in as a default user.
Is this doable in Windows 8, and if so, how?
I have a legacy app that connects to my SQL 2008 server. I'm trying to determine if the application is re-using it's connection to the SQL server or is creating new connections on a regular basis.
Using SQL Profiler I've audited for login events, but that appears to generate an event every time a SQL statement is executed even with apps that I know are maintaining their connection to SQL.
I'm using RAID-1 configuration on a PC which will be accessible by many people who are not very experienced with computers. So I'd want to restrict access to MediaShield RAID configuration utility with pops-up on every boot proposing to press F10 button.
Is there a way to hide that boot message or protect the utility with a password?
I'm trying to setup rsync to backup a remote directory to my local drive.
I cd to the directory that I want to pull the files to, then I enter:
rsync -vrtW [email protected]:~/public_html
I enter the password then it starts running. I get all the files listed, but none of them actually transfer. What am I missing?
Thanks
Our internal network folder can take up to 5 seconds to generate a thumbnail for each photo in a network folder. Usually, only 10% of thumbnails actually display; the rest are default jpg icons.
A thumbs.db file already exists inside this folder, so presumably the thumbnails have been generated before. Why do they have to be generated again?
The PC is Win7 64-bit.
The server is Windows 2003 Server SP2.
