Re: /var/log/messages

[Patrick Dupre]

OK,

I run fine,
Thus I deleted some big files.

recover some room on the /
/dev/sdb6                          6192704  5216872    661260  89% /

but then again:
/dev/sdb6                          6192704  5532276    345856  95% /

I guess that it is the /var which grows up to fast!

I have /usr /tmp and /home on different partitions

Thank.

Are you saying you want to force a logout even if the guest is still using, or 
are you saying you want to logout after inactivity?

For inactivity, adding "export TMOUT=#seconds" to .bashrc should do the trick.




The library policy is that an user should connect for an hour, and it should 
provide an automatic logoff with a pop-up window that tell the user that is 
close to be logged off.

You could have the user's startup session script do something like:

1. Launch a script in the background that does something like:

sleep 1200
xmessage -buttons Acknowledge "Your session will expire in 10 
minutes"

2. Launch a second script in the background that does:

sleep 1800
xfce4-session-logout --logout

(note that this is based on an XFCE desktop). The first script will
sleep 20 minutes, then pop up a warning dialog box on the screen that
tells the user their session will rather unceremoniously end in another
10 minutes. The second script sleeps 30 minutes, then terminates the
XFCE session.

I haven't tried this, but it should work. You'd have to modify the
second script to use some other session termination thing if you don't
use XFCE.

Worked fine in the past on my f17 install.  Well, you might recall

I used enscript to print off some IDs for next week's IETF meeting 
and duplex is not working.


Duplex works fine from Acrobat reader and LibreOffice when I select 
that option from the print dialog.  So I know I have duplex properly 
installed for the printer.  Enscript does not use Gnome print dialog, 
but sends directly somehow.


So any idea what I need to do for duplex printing?  I am heading for 
the plane in 12 hours, and don't want to lug more paper than I have to.


I just tried using Firefox (opened the file locally then print and 
choose 2 pages per page and duplex), but it gets the lines per page 
wrong  enscript is at least getting that right...





Now I have tried it on another printer that has duplexer.  I can duplex 
from any program I have tried that works through the gnome interface for 
printing.  But enscript is not duplexing.



Either I have to figure out how to fix this or replace enscript.

I think there is a difference between the question

Has anyone integrated FreeRADIUS with NIS?

and

Can FreeRADIUS be integrated with NIS?

The fact that you've not found any information or documentation on how to 
integrate FreeRADIUS with NIS doesn't imply that it isn't possible.  It could 
mean that others haven't seen the need to do the work.  Or that some have done 
the work...but it was an in-house project and not released.  I've done a few 
bespoke projects that may have been of value to others but never made it into 
general release.

Are you saying you want to force a logout even if the guest is still using, or 
are you saying you want to logout after inactivity? 

For inactivity, adding "export TMOUT=#seconds" to .bashrc should do the trick.

proper spec file format for designating systemd service files?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  kind of a general fedora packaging question, so forgive me if this
sounds silly -- i'm still getting back into rpm stuff after years with
ubuntu.

  just noticed on my fully-updated f20 system that there are a few
systemd service files under /usr/lib/systemd/system that are marked
executable:

$ find . -type f -name "*.service" -perm /0111
./isdn.service
./pppoe-server.service
./wpa_supplicant.service
./capi.service
$

sure enough:

$ ls -l capi.service
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 184 Aug  3  2013 capi.service
$

doesn't hurt, of course, just unnecessary. so being inherently
curious, i popped over to the package git repo:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/isdn4k-utils.git/tree/

and took a look at the spec file to see what was happening:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/isdn4k-utils.git/tree/isdn4k-utils.spec

and the relevant parts seem to be, first this at line 249:

# install isdn startup script
mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_libexecdir}
install -m0755 %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}%{_libexecdir}/isdn
install -m0755 -d %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}
install -m0644 %{SOURCE11} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/isdn.service
install -m0644 %{SOURCE8} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/capi.service

followed by this further down starting at line 299:

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,755)
%dir /etc/isdn
%dir /var/spool/vbox
%dir /var/log/vbox
%dir %{_datadir}/isdn
%dir %{_libdir}/capi
%verify(not md5 size mtime) %config(noreplace) /etc/isdn/*
%verify(not md5 size mtime) %config(noreplace) /etc/ppp/ioptions
%config(noreplace) /etc/ppp/peers/*
%config(noreplace) /etc/capi.conf
%config(noreplace) /etc/capi20.conf
%if 0%{?fedora} > 13 || 0%{?rhel} > 6
%{_libdir}/udev/rules.d/40-isdn.rules
%endif
%{_libdir}/pppd
%{_datadir}/isdn/*.dat
%{_datadir}/isdn/dest.cdb
%{_libdir}/*.so.*
%{_libdir}/capi/*.so.*
%defattr(755,root,root,755)<---
%{_sbindir}/avmcapictrl
%{_sbindir}/hisaxctrl

%{_sbindir}/pcbitctl
%{_libexecdir}/isdn
%{_unitdir}/isdn.service   <--- aha
%{_unitdir}/capi.service   <--- him, too
... snip ...

  based on what i see, it would *seem* to make more sense to move
those two lines further down the spec file, after line 340:

%defattr(644,root,root,755)
%doc COPYING README isdnlog/README.*
%doc isdnlog/tools/zone/de/01033/zred.dtag.bz2
%ghost %{_datadir}/isdn/zone-de-dtag.cdb
... snip ...

  does that make sense? as i said, not a big deal and certainly
doesn't affect operation, just wanting to clarify that i'm reading the
spec file correctly and understanding how it would have been written
properly.

  and if i'm right, tempted to BZ it just cuz.

That depends on what´s in it.  Under some circumstances, there can be
quite a bit of logging going on.

Logrotate is supposed to deal with it and might not have a chance to
when your computer is turned off at the time logrotate would run.

Hi Cameron,

Sounds reasonable.

I filed a BZ.

Thanks for your answer.

Kind regards

f20 lvm - inactive LV

[Michal Kopacki]

  hello,

 This is my first post to that list so hello everyone.

 After a few years break, I've decided to take Fedora on test drive (last 
Fedora I've seen was something around 11; I use centos/redhat on daily basis) 
and I must say there are many changes here (good and bad ones). Anyway, below 
my problem:

 There is this thing with LVM which I can't understand - I did create few VGs 
and LVs and add them to fstab (as default) but after that strange things 
started to happen during system boot. It seems that not all LVs are activated 
during system boot (kind of randomness here). I came to this solution that I 
need to put all LVs I want to be mounted by default as kernel parameter (ie 
rd.lvm.lv=rootvg/rootlv). 

  I can live with that when it comes to "system" LVs but problem is that I have 
many "non os" LVs on that machine and putting all of them as a kernel param 
doesn't seem right.

1. Am I doing something wrong ? 
2. Is there new method other than default in fstab ? 
3. What for "rd.lvm.lv" is ?

Michal
