Root Forced to Comply With Password Complexity Requirements

2019-11-01 Thread Garry Williams
When did this start?

garry@ifr$ sudo passwd ppatel
Changing password for user ppatel.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password fails the dictionary check - it is based on a dic
tionary word
passwd: Have exhausted maximum number of retries for service
garry@ifr$

The root user cannot set whatever password he wants on his machine?
Since when?

I wanted to assign a temporary password for a new user and then do

sudo passwd -e ppatel

to force it to be changed.  For the new user, enforcing password
complexity is, I guess, OK.  But for root?  And why bail after three
tries to get a compliant password?  That seems capricious (not to
mention irritating) to me.

How do I revert this unwelcome change?

System log shows up errors, too:

That appears to be effective.  I added zchunk=False to
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf and there was no failure after that today.  It was
failing pretty regularly before, so I bet it's fixed for me.

Thanks for that.  Nice catch.

I don't know.  The next time I can try is Monday.

But, of course, the issue is why this happens in the first place.  I
suspect no one here knows, so I will open a bug against dnf next week.
Perhaps a developer will request data that will shed light on the
problem.

That command was suggested instead of "dnf clean all".  The reason I
showed it was that it didn't help when I received "Error: Failed to
synchronize cache for repo 'updates'" without it.

Why Must I Do "dnf clean all" Before Updating Will Proceed?

2019-05-23 Thread Garry Williams

a Fedora 30 system:

garry@ifr$ sudo dnf upgrade

Does anyone know what is special about this system that it requires
clean all before it will update?  I have two other systems that never
experience the same problem.

Naw.  No bug.  systemd sends SIGTERM to each running process at
shutdown time.  If the process fails to exit, systemd then sends a
SIGKILL.

The shell ignores SIGTERM.

I use the prompt for that information[*].  The whole reason for using %w is
so that the *shell* (local or remote) can set the title of the tab.  If you
want the shell to supply another value, then you need to modify the code I
supplied to do whatever you need done.  Perhaps you want to use another
format specifier in the tab settings and not use the shell at all.  Maybe I
misunderstood the question.  The "Insert" drop-down in the tab
configuration screen will show what is available, if you don't want the
shell to fill it in.


__
[*] A typical prompt for me is: "garry@ifr$ ".  I look at the window title
to remind me of the path.  I also never show the tabs in konsole.  That way
there's always enough real estate for the path in my terminal title bar.
It works for me.  At work, I also use different profiles to get different
background colors on terminal sessions depending on what host I am logged
into.  Then I use different menu items (icons, that is) to log to different
hosts.  More visual cues to make sure I know my context so I don't do
something stupid.

Use %w in tab title format and remote tab title format.

Then use this in your shell rc (I use zshrc -- maybe you use bashrc):

chpwd() {
[[ -t 1 ]] || return
case $TERM in
sun-cmd) print -Pn "\e]l%~\e\\"
;;
*xterm*|rxvt|(dt|k|E)term) print -Pn "\e]2;[%m] %~\a"
;;
vt220) print -Pn "\e]2;[%m] %~\a"
;;
esac
}

chpwd

Now try to remember to "cd ." after loging out of a remote shell to
reset the window title.  :-)

I am not using Nvidia (Intel) and I have experienced the same several
times.  Since there is nothing in the journal at the time it locks up,
I have no data about the freeze.  I also would love to know how to
obtain problem source identification data.  I first encountered this
with F25 and it seems to be much more persistent now.

The lock up occurs over night after display is turned off by the power
management stuff.

Me too.  I upgraded two systems without a hitch and will do another tonight.

This is most likely a Plasma bug that may be fixed in an update.  But
you can work around it by switching to another terminal and then back
to the GUI.

It looks like all the logging now goes to the journal.  It also looks
like the verbosity of logging is affected by the LogLevel setting in
the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.

So I'd say your answers, if they exist, are in the journal.

You may have run into the problem I had.  I kept using kdm instead of
allowing the sddm to take over.  Well, the upgrade left me without a
display manager.

Fix it with this from the command line:

sudo systemctl --force enable sddm.service
sudo systemctl start sddm.service

Try sudo yum localinstall
chromium-5.0.360.0-0.1.20100322svn42211.fc12.x86_64.rpm
or just yum install rpm-file-name should also work.

Check your /etc directory for a sudoers.rpmnew file.  It was stored on
my system when I updated the sudo package from yum.  The new version
of the sudoers file comments out all of those aliases.  I merged that
new version with my version and the warnings do not appear for me.
