Disable login for embedded purpose

Hi all,
I need some hints about an argument. I need to disable the login on my archlinux. I guess there is a specific service that I need to disable. Can someone tell what it is ?
After that I've disabled is there a way to enable ?
Thanks for any reply.
Kind regards
P.s. It's ok for me also to hide the password prompt after the boot ( text mode ).

Can you clarify your end goal? Part of your post sounds almost like you want an autologin (hide the password prompt). But if you want to disable logging in, what routes of login do you want to prevent, local tty, ssh, others? If you disable every form of loging in, then how would you ever re-enable anything (I suppose only by booting a live medium and modifying the system from there).
What is the "embedded purpose" referred to in the title.
Ok, let me explain better. I've a PC that runs a graphical service. I would like to hide the boot process away, so the custmer will see only a black screen before that my service starts. I no need to make a login ( anyways I can use grub and start a root shell at the boot ).

Listing users whose GroupWise account is set "Disable logins"

Hello,
Is it possible to somehow make a list of all users who have "Disable
logins" checked? I need to un-check this box in order to facilitate a
migration to Exchange (don't bother) with Quest.

Bex 2004s - Disabling Selection Sreen of a Query for the purpose of Views

Hi,
Is there possibility in Bex 2004s, where in we can disable Selection Sreen of a Query for the purpose of creating multiple Views.
Thanks
Praveen

Hi,
There is no posibility to disable the selection secren if there are any variables defined on a query. it can be done on the web applications side by inserting the command VARIABLESCREEN=" ". in this also it is only possible if there are no mandatory variables defined on the query.
thanks

RAC - Determine all instances whether enabled/disabled for inventory purpose

Hello All,
I can't seem to figure out to get all the instance and hostnames in my cluster when some of the instances are disabled.
My scenario is that I have 5 nodes and 3 of the 5 are disabled in clusterware.
I'm loging into one of the active instances, and when I select from GV$INSTANCE, I only see the active/enabled instances. On the other hand, the parameter "cluster_database_instances" shows 5.
For inventory purposes I need to determine all 5 instance names, all 5 hostnames. How can I do this from SQL.
Thanks in advance for any assistance or pointers.
Sincerely
JS

Hi,
If you want to query on the database, you can use the one below:
select p2.value inst_id, p1.value instance_name, decode(i.status,null,'OFFLINE',i.status) status
from gv$parameter p1 join gv$parameter p2 on (p1.inst_id = p2.inst_id) left join gv$instance i on (p2.inst_id = i.instance_number)
where p1.name = 'instance_name' and p2.name = 'instance_number';
Regards.

Need help to create a login for maintenance of a single database in a multiple databases, single instance environment

Hi,
We are in the process of consolidating several databases on a single instance of SQL Server 2012.
Databases are developed by outside vendors; they have to be able to install and support their databases but they shouldn't be able to do any thing with the other databases.
When I tried to migrate the first database, the vendor told me that on the former server he used the sa account in some batch.
On a previous thread
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/dc1f802f-d8de-4e2b-87e5-ccb289593fb7/security-for-multiple-applications-on-a-single-sql-server-2012-instance?forum=sqlsecurity
it was suggested to me that I create a login for each vendor and that this login should map a user in their respective databases.
To test, I simulated the process in a test database:
1 - I create the login and I scripted the command:
USE [master]
GO
/* For security reasons the login is created disabled and with a random password. */
/****** Object: Login [M02_Test] Script Date: 2014-12-02 16:23:58 ******/
CREATE LOGIN [M02_Test] WITH PASSWORD=N'ÈS^y¡¶=Å€"+y¤j|úªhÖféÎÐ•œEu
c', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[M02], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
ALTER LOGIN [M02_Test] DISABLE
GO
2 - I create the user and scripted it
USE [M02]
GO
/****** Object: User [M02_Test] Script Date: 2014-12-02 16:29:41 ******/
CREATE USER [M02_Test] FOR LOGIN [M02_Test] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
GO
Questions:
What should we do with te scrambled password: is it saved as it was entered and should it be kept somewhere in a safe place?
Would that do the job for the vendor who used sa before?
Thanks for your advice

I'm not sure why you would save the script. Why not create the login, in one way or another give the vendor the password. Keep the login disabled until needed.
I don't recall exactly what we said last time, but it occurs to me that the application setup things on server level. Jobs is the prime thing that comes to mind, but there could be other things.
Now, here is an important observation. As long as the vendor's application was alone on the server, that was OK, and it was OK to give the vendor sysadmin rights. In this situation this is less OK, and as we said, you should only give the vendor db_owner
in the database.
But the vendor will need to tell you what they do on server-level. They should know this - unless they sell their app as a "alone-on-a-server application". (And there are indeed such applications out there, even from Microsoft.) But there is a
risk that they will bill you extra if you make their installation more difficult.
Maybe you will have to give some vendors sysadmin for the installation, but in such case, you should ask them why they need it. If they don't, give them db_owner, and they will have to find out their hard way. (And you don't pay them for learning
their own application.)

Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose?

hi!
I make a e-book and it will be published on appstore and android market as application.
I'm wondering about font.
Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS for commercial purpose like me?
I bought a mountain lion on appstore.
I look forward to hearing from apple whether it is lawful or not.
Have a blessed day~:)

Strangely, there isn't and end user license on Apple's site regarding iOS. But here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

Disable DSN for specific messages

Hi,
i have a problem, where i wish to disable DSN for specific internal users.
Scenario :
Interal User a sends a mail to special address c,
if mail host of special address c is not available or anything else i wish that internal user a is never informed that c didnt recieve his mail.
Can this be done ?
i thought about doing this with sieve.. but i dont know if DSNs generated by the IMS Master itself are also checked by sieve mechanism....

Please do notice that your bits do not support many of the features you want. And that later bits do. If you offer that to your company, perhaps you could update more often, or at least this time. We're not talking about a new package, here, but just an update to the one you have, that's not doing the job properly.
Also, if you had asked for what you needed at the beginning, I could have helped you better.
What you want is the sieve command, save-copy, or, perhaps monitor. Please see whitepaper, quoted below:
Saving Messages for Document Retention
If the reason you want to capture a copy of the message is for document retention, then you will want to take advantage of the new "capture" sieve action. You have to have iMS v5.2 or better to use this facility. The capture action can only be specified in a system or channel sieve; it is not available in user sieves. The general syntax is
capture "monitoraddress"
The monitor action is the same as the capture action. Users are encouraged to use the 'capture' instead of monitor as it best reflects the function being performed.
This action sends a DSN containing the original message in its entirety to the specified capture address. Since this is a DSN it is effectively a completely separate message so there's little chance of it causing side effects that will alert anyone to the monitoring. In particular, no addresses from the original message appear in the DSN header so there's very little chance of the capture copy getting forwarded to the wrong person by mistake. And even though the original message is encapsulated, it is a MIME encapsulation which means the content is easily accessible in any MIME-compliant user agent.
The capture action is nonstandard and undocumented. It was originally intended to be part of the habanero release, but the backporting of direct LDAP support to 5.2 means it is available in 5.2 as well. We certainly intend to support it in the future.
Saving Messages for Replay
There is an undocumented functionality in iMS for making a copy of messages for archival purposes. It's intended for saving sent messages in the event that they need to be replayed. We did this for folks who send mail via bad links to places where the mail may be received OK by an intermediate host but then subsequently lost on its way to the final destination.
This is done with the MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY mapping table. Entries in that table have the form
MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
out-channel|from-address|D|msg-filename result
where
out-channel -- name of the channel the message is flowing out
from-address -- originator's address (envelope From: address)
D -- the letter "D" (stands for "dequeue" )
msg-filename -- name of the message file being dequeued.
result -- where to rename the file
Outbound Traffic
To save only messages out to the Internet, do
MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
tcp_local|*|D|/instance-root/queue/tcp_local/*/* (tab-or-space)$Y/msg_save/$1/$2
Be aware that the archive isn't made until the message is actually dequeued from iMS (i.e., sent successfully or bounced). A rename operation is done (as opposed to a copy operation). As such, the message file has to remain on the same disk that the IMTA_QUEUE lives on.
Inbound Traffic
To capture inbound mail will want to have good control of what machines/pathways a message will take on its way into your systems. If your setup is such that mail always enters the site via an INBOUND relay and leaves the site via know outbound gateways, then inbound message flow is from INBOUND-MTA --> MsgStore machine.
Since you can have multiple MsgStore machines behind any one INBOUND-MTA, you will want to make configuration on the INBOUND-MTA machine such that it will use a dedicated queue to talk to the MsgStore machines. For instance, on the INBOUND-MTA machine, you could setup a rewrite rule in your imta.cnf file for MsgStore-A, MsgStore-B, ... MsgStore-Z like:
Node-A.store.domain.com.au $U%$D@tcp_to_store-daemon
Node-Z.store.domain.com.au $U%$D@tcp_to_store-daemon
and a corresponding 'tcp_to_store' channel which looks like:
! tcp_to_store
tcp_to_store smtp mx single_sys subdirs 20 noreverse maxjobs 7 \
pool SMTP_POOL maytlsserver allowswitchchannel \
saslswitchchannel tcp_auth
tcp_to_store-daemon
This has the effect of routing all mail to any of your MsgStore machines through tcp_to_store channel. Transactions to other machines in your setup will take the tcp_intranet channel.
With this in place you can then throw in a MSG-SAVE-COPY mapping table which reads:
MESSAGE-SAVE-COPY
*|*|D|/instance-root/imta/queue/tcp_to_store/*/* $Y/msg_save/tcp_to_store/$2/$3
the net effect will be a number of queue files in the /msg_save/tcp_to_store directory which are ready for replay. Note the $2 in the sample represents the subdir that the message was already in. As such if you have 'subdirs 20' on your tcp_to_store channel, you will want to precreate the /msg_save/tcp_to_save/000 thru 019 subdirectories with the appropriate ownership and permissions.
To initiate the replay, you want to simply move the /msg_save/tcp_to_store/### directories to the /instance-root/imta/queue/reprocess and issue the command 'imsimta cache -synch'. The MTA will start pushing out those messages to the store(s).
If you want to have multiple replays happening you can kick off parallel runs of the reprocess channel by doing 'imsimta run reprocess &' a number of times.
And, If you want to segregate the storage for each MsgStore machine, you can make new channel in addition to the one suggested 'tcp_to_store' channel. You would then have groups of rewrite rules directing traffic over those channels or you could have one rewrite rule per channel block that you setup. That way you can have distinct entries in your MSG-SAVE-COPY mapping table.
Finally, since there is a rename operation taking place when you use the MSG-SAVE-COPY mapping table, you will want to make sure that at the first pass that /msg_save is on the same device that your queues live on.
Short Term Arvchival
You could setup a process in cron to move those files to a new device on a periodic basis. Better yet, schedule this via the job_controller. For instance, these lines at the top of your job_controller.cnf file:
[PERIODIC_JOB=archive_mover]
command=/usr/iplanet/sitescripts/arc_mover.sh
time=/00:10
will run the arc_mover.sh script for you every 10 minutes. Your arc_mover.sh could look something like:
#!/bin/ksh
# ***Script is untested - should generate some ideas though****
DUMMY=`test -d /var/tmp/timestamp.dir || mkdir -p /var/tmp/timestamp.dir`
cd /msg_save
# First pass
for dir in `find ./ -type d`
do
DUMMY=`test -d /real/storage/area/$dir || mkdir -p /real/storage/area/$dir`
cd $dir
for msgfile in `find ./ -type f -newer /var/tmp/timestamp.dir -name "*.00"`
do
mv $msgfile /real/storage/area/$dir/
done
cd /msg_save
done
touch /var/tmp/timestamp.dir
# Second pass cause we do not know how long we took.
for dir in `find ./ -type d`
do
DUMMY=`test -d /real/storage/area/$dir || mkdir -p /real/storage/area/$dir`
cd $dir
for msgfile in `find ./ -type f -newer /var/tmp/timestamp.dir -name "00"`
do
mv $msgfile /real/storage/area/$dir/
done
cd /msg_save
done
exit

The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

Need an approach regarding reporting for a one-to-many primary-child relationship, where there are more than three child objects for a primary object for reporting purpose

Business Scenario- We have a parent organization with 6 different Business Units.One BU requires 9 stages for for Opportunity(Tender) Tracking.The client requirement is to show the basic details of the tender at the header level and to show details specific to individual sales stage as different tabs.There will be multiple opportunity members added as opportunity team and will be responsible for capturing details specific to individual sales stage(tab). The Tab should be enabled and disabled based on the role. Reporting is required against each stage with specific fields of child objects against each opportunity.
We created multiple children entities under the oportunity(one to many mapping) but we are unable to add more than 3 child objects for a primary object for reporting purpose.
Kindly suggest what needs to be done to meet the requirement

Can you provide the exact steps you took to "created multiple children entities under the oportunity" ?

Install Java SE for embedded

Hello,
I am trying to install Java SE for Embedded 7 ARM v6/7 Linux Headless on my Pogoplug ARM v6 running Linux Arch.
For this I downloaded the .tar.gz file from Oracle's website ( version=7u4-armv6-eabi-k2.6.28-libc2.9-hflt-le), applied the tar command to decompress, moved the result to /opt/java, adapted the enironment variables by editing the /etc/profile file as follows:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/java/bin"
export PATH
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/java"
export PATH="opt/java/bin:$PATH"
when running an application that needs JAVA, I get:
17015 Illegal instruction java -Declipse.ignoreApp=true -Dosgi.noShutdown=true -Djetty.port=8080 -Djetty.port.ssl=8443 -Djetty.home=. -Dlogback.configurationFile=logs/logback.xml -Dfelix.fileinstall.dir=addons -Djava.library.path=lib -Djava.security.auth.login.config=./etc/login.conf -Dorg.quartz.properties=./etc/quartz.properties -jar $cp $* -console
I assume Java is not installed correctly (it is the first time I install manually)?

I see the same error for my ARM9 from Atmel. I think it's because my ARM9 AT91SAM9263 processor is ARMv5TEJ and ejre1.6.0 require ARMv6 or above. Don't mix up ARM9 and ARMv6. It's different thing.

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help me please...

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

I got again a total system freeze today when I wanted to launch firefox using only the openbox menu, without wbar running.
So I decided to try now the 'nouveau.noaccel=1' kernel command line parameter, and to use again wbar for my frequently used applis.
In the Xorg log, the differences are:
without 'nouveau.noaccel=1'

So now 3D acceleration is disabled.
I will see now if the system is stable enough for my daily usage and gives satisfactory performances.
I am almost sure that the mesa nouveau dri driver is the cause of the freezes.

[solved] adduser --disabled-login

I am still new to Arch, and I am trying to run a server on Arch. I am trying to create my serv user. What is the command for this?
This worked on Ubuntu Server(Debian), but not on Arch.

Last edited by krono-matrixer (2015-05-30 19:39:08)

One way to do this, and I don't know if this is the preferred way, is to set the shell to nologin. So the useradd command would look like:
useradd -s /usr/bin/nologin username
Checkout the manpage for nologin for more details.
