Does anyone have installed and use vlc and at the same time have sound/audio working elsewhere on their system? On the flip side, has anyone lost audio capabilities in their their system after installing vlc? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Run command as another user
by Paul Groves 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

Hi, I need to be able to run a command as another user. I have worked out that I can run the following from one user to execute a command as the other (bob). su - bob -c command prompt for password enter password command runs as bob but, how can I run this on one line for use in a script? (so that I am not prompted for a password). something like; su - bob -c command -p bobspassword The user executing the script is not a sudoer so I cannot use; echo bobspassword | sudo -S -u bob command thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi guys I need a little help here: Based on a scanning from the national CERT my security officer claims that I am running outdated software. Examples (scanning performed some weeks ago) Version source : X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.14 Installed version : 5.5.14 Fixed version : 5.5.38 Source : Server: Apache/2.4.23 Installed version : 2.4.23 Fixed version : 2.4.27 As of today the installed rpm's are: me@server:~> rpm -qa | egrep "apache2-2|php5-5" apache2-mod_php5-5.5.14-77.12.1.x86_64 php5-5.5.14-77.12.1.x86_64 apache2-2.4.23-8.12.1.x86_64 I can verify that the rpms on my system is grabbed from updates and build on 21. September 2017. How or where do I find information so I can convince my security officer that relevant security patches has been backported and are installed on my system. -- Regards Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
