Shell prompt changes when X starts
I set my shell prompt in /etc/profile: EXPORT PS1="C:\w> " As you all know, a login shell first runs /etc/profile then ~/.bash_profile . I don't know if it's typical, but in addition my /etc/profile calls ~/.bashrc which calls /etc/bashrc which calls the various /etc/profile.d/* scripts, so that at login all my aliases get set as well as my environment variables. Now, because the environment got set at login, the only thing I need to reset during a non-login shell, such as xterm, are the aliases so xterm calls ~/.bashrc which calls /etc/bashrc which calls /etc/profile.d/* . With that setup, my xterm environment looks exactly like my login shell environment at the console. Same path, same other environment variables, same aliases. Back in some time lost to the fuzzy memory of old age, the bash prompt (PS1) remained the same. The only place it ever gets set is /etc/profile, and since all shells are children of that first login shell, there's no way for it ever to change. But lately I noticed that xterm (and gnome-terminal) does indeed change PS1 to something else... specifically "\s-\v\$" . None of my other environment variables from /etc/profile are getting removed or overwritten. I exported a test variable (export FOOBAR="foo bar") and that remains in the xterm environment. Those of you who read and remember everything I write here may recall that I successfully built xorg 7.1 recently. Well, I restored 6.8.2, reset all my paths and libraries to /usr/X11R6, logged out, logged back in, and ran the old xorg... and it did the same thing, so it's not just something that changed with the new X. I grepped all of /usr/X11R7 (and /usr/X11R6) looking for anything that contains a command to change PS1, but I can't find anything. Still, I'm sure it must be X since the problem exists in both xterm and gnome-terminal, both of which inherit the X environment. Any idea what other process might be changing the PS1 bash prompt after xinit takes over? -- Peter B.

DJ,
Thanks for the info. As for needing it, I am only working from what I
see on my host disto and from the hplip.sourceforge.net website. I have
seen where others only installed the IJS portion of it, but I decided
against that route. I will research it further for future builds but
now that it is on the system I'll work with it.

samba configuration
Hi All I wondered if anyone could help with a couple of questions I have in regards to setting up samba? The first isn't about samba but a group called "wheel" this vaguely seems familiar in a slackware install? I found this reference to it in the samba mini HOWTO. admin users = @wheel ; domain administrators domain admin group = @wheel domain admin users = root Do I generate this group for my lfs box? Presumingly, I could use any group name I wished but what is the wheel group for and what would be a good choice? My second question is about the useradd command. How do you set disabled-login and disabled-password? For previous distributions I've used the guide: http://dcfonline.sfu.ca/ying/linux/samba/part6.html While this is a vulnerable configuration, it has served me well for a number of years, allowing me at home move files from the MS platform to the Linux platform within my home. In preparation I've looked at the useradd man page as well as others attempting to see how to set nologin and no password switches but I can't see it for looking. I've probably opened a can of worms here but I'd like to develope my understanding on what would be a suitable samba configuration and why? Gena -- Wow!

I'm using a kernel module that sends warn (KERN_WARN ) log level messages to the console but I want them to only go to the logs. I would like only kernel messages that are log level error or higher to go to the console. So I added the following to the top of the default LFS /etc/syslog.conf file: *.error /dev/console However, this does not prevent the warning messages from going to the console. In fact, I even tried this: *.* /dev/null And STILL the warning messages go to the console. I'm at a loss as to why this is. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I've looked at the man page for syslog and I couldn't find anything there as to why this would be happening. Now what I did find out so far is that the command "setterm -msglevel 3" will prevent KERN_WARN messages from going to the console, but I'm concerned that this would interfere with syslog.conf which is where this stuff should be set anyway. Also, this command is terminal specific and I'm not sure how I would even execute it for each terminal. I don't want any KERN_WARN messages going to any console, even when nobody is logged in, otherwise it just periodically spams the heck out of the console.

There are some switches with useradd that allow the group to be created from useradd, but I can't recall them right now.

I think Udev-0.9* has its own cut down version of libsysfs. I don't think so. Udev just doesn't link to libsysfs. It's seems to be a user helper library to access sysfs attributes. I doubt it interferes with Udev. Try 1: After installing Gnome-2.14.2 using Udev-0.92 Hal-0.5.7 and Dbus-0.61(but without pmount and libsysfs), I found that all the devices mounted would (or could) automatically start/mount their respective applications/programs. But for some resion I had device group permission issues to be seen too first. I don't have Linux-PAM installed, if that fixes the problem(?). (I did install gnome-mount-0.3 afterwards too by the way). Here's a couple notes on this setup. You need gnome-volume-manager to be the hal event listener, so it must be running. In this case, both hal and gnome-volume-manager will look to see if /var/console/$user/lock exists by default. This is normally done with the pam_console module. To get around it, you first need to tell hal that it's OK for certain users or groups to invoke hal methods. You need to add something like this to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf: Where users you want are part of group 100. You could also make this group "cdrom" or a specific user, or whatever. gnome-volume-manager can be told to ignore the /var/console/$user/lock issue by configuring it with --disable-multiuser. Also, if you have entries in /etc/fstab for devices you want automounted, hal will return a PermissionDenied error. I had to run hald with --verbose to figure this out. I've been thinking about asking on the hal list if they could make this error clearer. Try 2: But after installing (yet again) Gnome-2.14.2 using Udev-0.92 Hal-0.5.7 and Dbus-0.61 with pmount and libsysfs, I found that the devices needed to be manually mounted before their respective applications/programs would start. (I didn't install gnome-mount-0.3 this time around). I did not have any device permission issues this time around. And I think that is what pmount is used for(?) A mounting wrapper for Correcting or ignoring device group permissions(?) Is pmount running? Again, the two points above about hal allowing specific users to invoke methods and entries in fstab are important. I don't know the specifics of running pmount, though. And pmount will not set device permissions, AFAIK. On RedHat, they use pam_console to set device permissions, but we don't need that so long as your users are in the groups that the devices are owned by. Has any one had this sort of problem, or is it just me having bad luck? I had similar problems.

Try 1: After installing Gnome-2.14.2 using Udev-0.92 Hal-0.5.7 and Dbus-0.61(but without pmount and libsysfs), I found that all the devices mounted would (or could) automatically start/mount their respective applications/programs. But for some resion I had device group permission issues to be seen too first. I don't have Linux-PAM installed, if that fixes the problem(?). (I did install gnome-mount-0.3 afterwards too by the way). Try 2: But after installing (yet again) Gnome-2.14.2 using Udev-0.92 Hal-0.5.7 and Dbus-0.61 with pmount and libsysfs, I found that the devices needed to be manually mounted before their respective applications/programs would start. (I didn't install gnome-mount-0.3 this time around). I did not have any device permission issues this time around. And I think that is what pmount is used for(?) A mounting wrapper for Correcting or ignoring device group permissions(?) Has any one had this sort of problem, or is it just me having bad luck?

Udev, libsysfs-2.0.0 (gnome-mount replaces pmount?)
Hi guys, Do I need to install libsysfs-2.0.0 on my system at all? I think Udev-0.80 had that support removed. I only ask as pmount needs libsysfs-2.0.0 However I don't think gnome-mount-3.0 needs libsysfs-2.0.0. And provides a eject wrapper as well. I'm only asking as I found that Gome-VFS-Manager-2.14.2 will use gnome-mount-3.0 by default.
