He wanted the whole status info that rcnetwork status used to output. The problem here is, IMNSHO, a severe design mismatch on a high level between the old init.d and the new systemd concept. init.d looked at services as something very general. In fact, anything that shall be started at boot time, ended at shutdown time, or manually in-between, and that might output some status info, is a service for init.d. Anything that might be of interest for a human can be output by the services' status command. For systemd, a service is an initialization of something, or a group of running processes with a master process. A status info is just the information which processes that are, as shown in the example output above, and nothing more. openSUSE systemd proponents, in particular Cristian Rodriguez, have repeatedly called any further wish as unreasonable. I don't know if that view is shared at systemd upstream development, though postings that I've seen indicate that this might be the case (see below for links). If you want, you can read a discussion thread at the opensuse-factory list archive with the subject "Re: Human readable, what is that? (was [12.1] massive data loss in /var/tmp/)", mid to end December. It quickly went downhill into a flame war between systemd oponents and proponents, as happens so often. But inbetween there were postings that presented several use cases for an "ExecStatus" configuration possibility that executes an arbitrary command to get the status. Particularly, LXC container status and AppArmor status were mentioned. These were summarily discarded by Cristian and others. (Cristian was the most vocally, that's why I remember him specifically.) Actually, since their answers did not address the actual use case parts that were cited as problematic, I even prepared a summary post that tried to re-formulate them and addressed specifically Cristian if he could react on these issues technically and not in a polemic way. Sadly, Cristian didn't answer. I don't know if he didn't see it, was fed up by the flame war, or chose to ignore it for other reasons. I don't know the state of the "ExecStatus" proposal upstream, the first three Google page results didn't get me that information. In August, Lennart was against it: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/3171. In November, a bugzilla ticket mentions it might be needed, but Kay was also very sceptical: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754127 -- that ticket is not yet closed. In the source, there is a notion of ExecStatus in src/execute.[ch], but I couldn't recognize at first glance if that is about the existing restricted status notion of systemd, or about the eventual introduction of a full ExecStatus configuration possibility. Hope this summary of events that I have read about in the context of service status helps.

[opensuse] ssd configuration

Hello, I wonder if it's a good idea to use a small ssd drive (now afordable) for openSUSE system on a desktop, and with what config. 20Gb is much more than necessary for the system. I suppose it's better to move variable parts to standard HDD (/var, /tmp, /etc??) any experience? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] hacking a Kerberos cache file
by lynn 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

12.1 Hi everyone. Can't find anything below rocket scientist level on this. I've a kerberized process running under k5start which uses a keytab to authenticate, refresh its ticket and so keep on going. The process runs under a unique uid:gid. By default, the ticket caches go into /tmp. Everyone has access to /tmp so I'd like to put this cache somewhere else. I've thought about creating something under /var/cache with 600 uid:gid 1. Is there a correct place for stuff like this? 2. Google tells me that it currently takes around 8 hours to crack a Kerberos key. Does the cache file contain stuff which would give the hacker a head start?

[opensuse] Mentor wanted for programming

I have rudimentary knowledge of C and C++, and have dabbled in Python. I have a basic understanding of OOP. I want to be able to actually contribute in code. Alot of ideas I have seem fairly simple, but I don't have the skill yet to really work on projects. It would be better if I could get an idea started before bothering to propose it to any teams. Ideally I would like to learn Qt, how to make RPMs, and how to use the OBS. Frankly though, I'm not too picky since there are a wide array of things I could work on that don't use those. I have a very hard time with books and such since I have a learning disability, but I learn very well with hands on stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is there a leak?
by Mark Misulich 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, I watched a video on YouTube the other night. When I was through watching it I emailed the url to a friend of mine via my isp's email. The email isn't connected to Yahoo or Google in any way. The next day I received emails from Yahoo with the urls of the video that I watched, plus others in the series. I also found out that I was signed up for a yahoo group that pertained to the video, all without my knowledge. Is there some kind of security leak in Opensuse 12.1 or Thunderbird that would allow this to happen? Maybe everyone else on the list knows why this is, but I am very surprised by it and don't understand why it happened. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I've also had to deal with an A3 scanner/copier/printer combo from Sharp, but that cost several thousand bucks. It had some issues with postscript files, but in general it worked too. I liked the Kyocera printer a lot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 12.1 static ip problem
by Jeroen Groenewegen van der Weyden 22 Jan '12

22 Jan '12

Hello, I've a basic problem using a static ip adres in opensuse 12.1. When I configure the static ip-adres in yast the configuration is accepted. but the ip-adres is not assigned to the network card. DHCP however is working fine. setup opensuse is a xen guest on a opensuse 11.4 xen server opensuse 12.1 x64 (with all online updates) I do the following steps 1) open yast -> network devices. 2) assign ip-adres 3) save Things I notice: 1) ifconfig do not show a ip-adres 2) /etc/sysconfig/netwerk/ifcfg..... seems to show a normal 3) no strange messages in log/messages. it only reports up and down of the nic. 4) When I start a ping from a other machine to the supossed ip-adres. there is a brief moment the ip-adres replies. This sometime during yast activating the config. 5) this is reproduce with every installation I make. Anybody any idea? this was working for me in every opensuse version up to 11.4. mfg, jeroen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Remote Desktop Preferences loop
by James Pifer 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

I'm running 11.4 and I use Remote Desktop Preferences to view one of my machine's console remotely. Not sure what happened, possibly last update, seems to have broken it. When I load the preferences gui, it keeps looping through "Checking the connectivity of this machine..." and I'm not able to view the desktop remotely. I googled a bit but didn't find much. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] pam and kerberos problem
by lynn 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi everyone I want to be able to unlock xscreensaver when authenticated against Kerberos. The KDC is Samba 4 and I can logon fine to the domain. I used Yast to add the pam_krb5 package and ran pam-config -a --krb5 Now, only root can login in single mode. /etc/pam.d/common-password before adding kerberos (works fine, but cannot unlock xscreensaver): password requisite pam_pwcheck.so nullok cracklib password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok password sufficient pam_unix2.so use_authtok nullok password required pam_ldap.so try_first_pass use_authtok /etc/pam.d/common-password after adding krb5 (no one can login apart from booting into single user): password requisite pam_pwcheck.so nullok cracklib password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok password [default=ignore success=1] pam_succeed_if.so uid > 999 quiet password sufficient pam_unix2.so use_authtok nullok password sufficient pam_krb5.so password required pam_ldap.so try_first_pass use_authtok I think it's something to do with this line: password [default=ignore success=1] pam_succeed_if.so uid > 999 quiet Does this mean that no user with a uid of less than 1000 will be able to authenticate? What if I'm in a bar and the KDC is not available? I'm locked out of my local account. This is a laptop. Ahhgghh!!
