[389-users] Disable password change prompt
Hey everyone, I have setup the directory server with version 1.2.11. I am running a subtree password policy and was wondering if it's possible to disabled the feature that requests a password changed once the user's password has expired. If a user let's their password expire I just want them to get an access denied or password expired message and not let them in. Is this possible? There is a flow chart on the Redhat website [https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/resources/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.1/html/Deployment_Guide/images/pwdpolicy.png] that shows what is happening.

Post upgrade woes
I did fc18-19 upgrade via yum (having had many failures with fedup) and one issue and two questions remain. Issue, XFCE doesn't save the desktop when I logout and ask for save. I have a console open, it isn't opened on next login, but was with fc18. thoughts? Q1: I can't find where to install or configure alternate boot animations. Can someone point me to the info, or even give me a search string which will find it in either google or fedora wiki? Q2: is there a way to make fedora-upgrade use an iso (I did a hack so I could specify). -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

What should I remove? nx? qtnx? nxclient?
freenx-server and -client are installed.
Working around package bugs like this may be quick fix for you,
but more productive would be to open a ticket in bugzilla.
I generally don't, most package bugsare caused by delayed updates on a mirror

That bug with Live USB Creator should be fixed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810112 There might be a bug related to the ISO image, which contains a really unit partition map structure to enable it to boot both BIOS and UEFI systems, whether the media is 512 byte (USB sticks) or 2048 byte (DVDs) physical sectors. To any partition tool it will appear to be corrupt. It's not, it's just unique to fit this purpose. But this has been quite heavily tested over the past 18-24 months so I more likely suspect a firmware bug. But there can also be other boot related issues now that Secure Boot is supported so it's important to file bugs and be really clear about what *does* happen rather than saying it doesn't boot which isn't descriptive enough. The only tool that worked for me was livecd-iso-to-disk with --efi option (required me to add --format, too, so it is destructive). I vaguely recall some unexpected behavior with --format or maybe the combination of --format with --reset-mbr. But there is some weirdness with LITD in that the --efi option *adds* EFI boot support to a tool that creates BIOS bootable media. So you actually are not getting exclusively EFI boot media, but rather hybrid boot media. Therefore the --reset-mbr is required if the first 440 bytes of LBA0 do not contain BIOS boot code. This is confusing for those who know that such code is ignored on EFI systems. Anyway, my expectation is if I specify /dev/sdb2 for installation, and use --format --efi --reset-mbr that all other partitions are preserved, but I'm pretty sure that combination blows away the whole partition map and all content on the stick. But it does warn of this also and enables a safe exit via control-C. To me, --format implies using mkfs.vfat -F32 on the specified partition, but that doesn't appear to be the only thing it does.

hardware full disk encryption

It sounds like a useful way to protect laptop data if the laptop is ever stolen. Has anyone tried to do hardware-based full disk encryption with Fedora?

No, leaking the partition info for the bootstrap isn't a worry for me either. ;-) It's just that LUKS shows up and dominates searches for FDE. If I didn't have always on, hardware FDE for free in the SSD, I'm sure I'd be happy with LUKS. After a bit more research it appears that the SSD FDE machinery is always on, even with a blank password protecting the internally generated random AES key.

Rupprecht wolfgang.ruppre...@gmail.com wrote: I've got a standard consumer Intel 520 SSD, which claims to do hardware based AES disk encryption with no speed penalty. It sounds like a useful way to protect laptop data if the laptop is ever stolen. Has anyone tried to do hardware-based full disk encryption with Fedora? Yes, but I failed to really follow-up on whether we even have tools to do this, like if hdparm can communicate correctly with at least TCG OPAL compliant drives. This is just a few weeks old and seems the answer to that is no: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/45542/free-libre-software-to-handle-tcg-opal-2-0-compliant-self-encrypting-drives-sed To boot from these drives it requires firmware that supports the specific implementation in order to communicate with the drive in this pre-boot environment. And it might even require a controller that supports this as well, and seems to require a TPM also. I wasn't able to get clarity on that either. Here is a SNIA + TCG doc that gets into some of this: http://www.snia.org/sites/default/files/Cox-J_TCG_Trusted_Computing_Group_Storage_Spec.pdf One challenge is to get the right keymaps set for boot and resume from hibernation, to make sure the passphrase the user thinks they're inputting is in fact what's being communicated to the drive. So some firmware support is necessary and probably also work in the kernel and I don't think any of that's done. Also from the 520 spec sheet, I can't tell if it's OPAL compliant or not. The updated spec just says it supports AES 128 bit encryption rather than the original spec of 256 bit AES encryption. But is the implementation a totally proprietary thing? I can't tell, and in my research that was really common. Many drives purporting to be SEDs didn't explicitly say they were OPAL compliant, and that seems to be a minimum requirement - some kind of standard. But per usual, the drive industry couldn't get their act together and agree on a single standard, or cross platform method to support these drives. So by the time they got around to OPAL, pretty much no one cared about it which is one reason why all the effort has been on hardware accelerated (via AES-NI) software solutions like dmcrypt, BitLocker, FileVault2, etc. And that's why there's still proprietary SED implementations floating around instead of universal OPAL. Does one need to boot from a live usb or something in order to get to an environment where one can even enter the AES key for the disk decryption? For booting, I think this is for now a total dead end, which is too bad. The work is being done regardless on these drives. They always encrypt, they just have the symmetric cryptographic key unencrypted therefore the drive is always unlocked and therefore always appearing to the world as not encrypted. But internally, it's always encrypted. For a data drive, this is probably more practical to figure out but last time I check a year or so ago I didn't find any FOSS tools for OPAL compliant drives. And it was so annoying I can't say I did an exhaustive search, so I might have missed something. Google is failing me here due to search spam for LUKS which doesn't appear to be capable of *full* *disk* encryption. It only seems to encrypt individual partitions. LUKS is a specification and a metadata format. What implements FDE on linux is dm-crypt, which can use plain or LUKS methods. Whether dmcrypt is FDE sorta depends on how you define FDE. The widely accepted definition means encryption under the file system, rather than on top of it like file, folder, or vault encryption. Everything on the file system contained on the encrypted block device is encrypted. For example you can use dm-crypt on an unpartitioned drive which effectively encrypts the entire physical drive. Using LUKS there is a metadata header at the start of the drive, which isn't encrypted. This isn't altogether different than how an SED functions, since it also has an plaintext portion that contains bootloaders, tools, and metadata for the encrypted portion of the drive. When the drive is locked, only the plaintext portion is visible. When the drive is unlocked (default behavior), a plaintext logical volume is presented as if it were the physical drive, while the ondisk content of this logical volume is of course ciphertext. So just because not every single byte stored on a drive is ciphertext doesn't mean it's not FDE.

Re: hardware full disk encryption

Yes, it's annoying. But the task is also difficult to do correctly in a preboot environment. Arguably they got ahead of themselves and should have first come up with an open SDK so that at the least we could easily use the SED feature for data drives, rather than the much more complex case of booting from them. After a bit more research it appears that the SSD FDE machinery is always on, even with a blank password protecting the internally generated random AES key. The symmetric cryptographic key is not blank. It is a real key, the data is really encrypted on disk media. However by being unlocked by default means the symmetric cryptographic key isn't itself encrypted with an assymetric cryptographic key which in turn is protected by a user passphrase. Since it's not encrypted, and is available (unlocked) the drive always appears to be unencrypted. Supposedly in the latest ATA spec, there is a new CRYPTO ERASE command that can be used to wipe that key, and would be essentially instantaneous wiping of the disk. A new key is generated immediately in place. This ought to be accessible even if you're not otherwise using, or able to use, the drive as an SED. CRYPTO ERASE is part of the same ATA command set as SECURITY ERASE and ENHANCED SECURITY ERASE. Those last two commands cause the drive to erase itself, all physical sectors, one by one, even ones that don't have LBA mappings. It's quite a bit faster than writing zeros. Only one of those commands or fstrim is recommended for SSDs, not writing zeros. But from the current hdparm man page I'm not seeing an option to issue this command to drives that support it. It is impressive that the disk does ~ 480 MBytes/sec (actual measured speed) even when squeezing all the data through AES-128. ASIC's are bad ass. Thing is, with AES-NI you will get this same performance for maybe 2% CPU cost with dm-crypt+LUKS. Of course, with the Snowden revelations, one has to wonder how random the randomly chosen internal AES key is. If it is from an intentionally crippled RNG, it may be easy for someone in the know to do a brute-force search for it. Right, small problem. Insofar as I know, the user can't create the symmetric key, the drive does. However, I vaguely recall it's possible to drop the same public assymetric key on all of the drives, thereby encrypting the AES key with a key you control. But, if the AES key is compromised anyway, this makes zero difference.
