GDM disable login on shutdown

Hey guys,
On shutting down the system (from gnome3 - but im pretty sure it wont matter what DE is being used), the gdm login screen appears.
However before it shuts down there is still time to click login and enter a password,
Is there anyway to disable this, e.g. greying it out, or putting a 'shutting down' prompt there instead?
Or would it be a case of submitting a feature request to gnome devs?
(Also after gdm finally closes, there terminal login prompt then appears for about 10 seconds before the screen finally goes blank. Is there anyway to replace this with the shutdown script text instead?)
Cheers
Kane

[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.
Arch:
[jesse@Chronos]# su
Password:
[root@Chronos]# adduser --disabled-login serv
bash: adduser: command not found

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.

Completely disable login with my Skype account and password

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.

I hadn't thought of that, but that does help a lot. Thanx!

Disable login as sysdba without password

Hi,
we are hosting our environment externally with a hosting company and wanted to know if there was anyway of disabling (from within the database) login "/ as sysdba" without having to provide a password.
The scenario we are trying to avoid is a malicious OS administrator putting themselves into the dba/ora_dba group and then setting the sqlnet.ora parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) and then being able to login to the database without out having to provide a password and being able to view very sensitive data??
any help much appreciated.

It sounds like you have a managed hosting company. You need to discuss with the hosting company what types of access they need in order to perform their management functions and limit the admins at the hosting company to an account that does not allow them to add them selves to the dba/ora_dba group or perform any other functions that you do not wish them to perform.

How do I disable login password?

I am having heaps of trouble with an annoying login password that I cannot disable. I have followed all directions and still it persists. what do I do now any one know?

There is a Log in password for a reason. So anyone turning on your computer can't use it or look at your files without knowing the password. To disable the use of it means that everyone walking by you Mac can start it up and view your personal data and files.
So what is the be problem typing in a password when the system starts? You will still need to type it in when you are installing software or making system changes.
Good Luck & Best Wishes.

If that is unsuccessful then put install disk 1 in your machine and start up holding down the C on your KB
Once there select utilities from the menu and press disk utility and then press verify disk permissions and verify disk if there are any repairs needed then press repair.

How to disable login mail checking?

I would like to disable the mail checking on each login: I am not interested in seeing "No new mail" or else each time I login in a console. In other distributions, there was a specific setting in /etc/login.defs:
MAIL_CHECK_ENAB = no
I do not find this option in the arch /etc/login.defs, nor it is mentioned in man login or man login.defs; trying to set it anyway results in login complianing about badformed configuration file.
I also tried to comment out both MAIL_DIR and QMAIL_DIR, but without success.
Is there an other method to get this result? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have finally solved this issue, after only 4 months (it was my first issue using archlinux). Since the most part of shadow functionality is managed by pam, /etc/login.defs is not used at all. I had to edit /etc/pam.d/login. I had to comment out this line in that file:
# session optional pam_mail.so dir=/var/spool/mail standard
I am very satisfied, I hated those unuseful "No new mail"

Linux-ck 3.9.3 disabling IRQ #16 shutdown hang

Hi!
It just happened again: my system hangs on Disabling IRQ #16, just ater "Storage is finalized" systemd output. It won't poweroff...
As title says, i'm using latest linux-ck, with bfq scheduler, atom optimized, from gravsky's repo.
Any idea?
Thanks!

I have a PF kernel, not CK (and no hp-related hardware), and it happens to me occasionally, but I rarely reboot/shutdown.
However, I frequently put the laptop to sleep and it just hangs before shutting down the screen. The sleep LED keeps blinking indefinitely (it should only be blinking during sleep initialisation), and no errors are being printed out, but I suspect it is the same cause as with reboot when the aforementioned printout is visible.
It affects ~50% of sleep cycles, which means that when I put laptop to sleep, I lose my work 50% of the time.

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 ).

[systemd] long login, infinite shutdown issues

Hi all.
For years I've used slim which executed my .xinitrc. In .xinitrc I always declared actions to perform on startup. And this setup worked for years, as I said.
Some time ago I noticed, that login to my laptop takes ~10sec. This is the time from entering password till seeing X or (if text tty is used) zsh prompt.
So I started digging around, and found, that slim is considered incompatible with systemd. Also, systemctl --user has never worked for me (something with dbus session), so I decided to switch to sddm-git.
Switch to sddm didn't solved the issue of a long login.
Moreover, while playing with all this, I noticed that on my text ttys I regularly get messages likes these:
systemd-logind.service watchdog timeout!
Failed to start User Manager for UID 1000.
Sometimes, they are about journald also.
Also, I can't run my .xinitrc from sddm now. I can only execute a fresh i3 session, but I would like to execute all the statements I have in .xinitrc. Is it possible at all with all these systemd-dbus-pam-user-session-nano-technologies?
Finally, laptop shutdown had been never possible for me since the most recent arch installation (about a year ago). Laptop just gets stuck while shutting down and remains in this state forever. This didn't bothered me too much, because I turn off my laptop rarely. But would be great to fix this, of course...
Appreciate any help.
