:) ), I have one issue with our systems due to the new authselect system.
When I enable the nis (YP) system for logins the /etc/nsswitch.conf file

Or if you want something lighter weight, you could use
the bg-dammit program from my web page:

I have a script that uses rsync to pull the Fedora repositories nightly.
If I run it manually, it works flawlessly. But if it runs via cron, I
get an error on all the Fedora 28 repositories. I do not get the error
on Fedora 27 or RPMFusion 27 or 28 repositories. The script sets timeout

I would like to run a process on a remote machine (login through ssh
and then su) which will remian running even when I close the connection.

/etc/grub2.cfg mentions "unicode.pf2", but the Fonts tool finds no font
