How to add system-wide preferences in RHEL that will take effect for all profiles.

I have used the following docs to try to accomplish my task:
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/A_Brief_Guide_to_Mozilla_Preferences
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Automatic_Mozilla_Configurator/Locked_config_settings
I wish to add proxy settings for all users, including those who already have profiles. I have tried adding to greprefs/all.js directly, using a mozilla.cfg file, all exactly as in the documents. But none of these things make a difference. Any more quidance would be SO appreciated!
I am using the latest RHEL5.5 and 3.6.13.

Thanks for your quick response!
I am trying the unencoded mozilla.cfg, adding these 2 lines to my all.js:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
Here is my top-level mozilla.cfg:
//BEGIN CE prefs
// Proxy config
defaultPref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://10.10.10.10:8080/");
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.ftp", "");
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.ftp_port", 0);
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.gopher", "");
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.gopher_port", 0);
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.socks", "");
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.socks_port", 0);
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.ssl", "");
defaultPref("network.proxy.backup.ssl_port", 0);
defaultPref("network.proxy.ftp", "10.10.10.10");
defaultPref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 8080);
defaultPref("network.proxy.gopher", "10.10.10.10");
defaultPref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 8080);
defaultPref("network.proxy.http", "10.10.10.10");
defaultPref("network.proxy.http_port", 8080);
defaultPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1, cos.net, utmc.utc.com, doc, doc-test, scroll, scroll-test, scroll-dev, gumby, casey, crib, asic, topsweb, spiderweb, spiderweb-test, ouray, ouraydev");
defaultPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
defaultPref("network.proxy.socks", "10.10.10.10");
defaultPref("network.proxy.socks_port", 8080);
defaultPref("network.proxy.ssl", "10.10.10.10");
defaultPref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 8080);
defaultPref("network.proxy.type", 1);

    Hi,

    Hi Andrew,
    After completing the steps above, you will need to add an entry for the new swap volume to the /etc/vfstab as described in this doc if you want the swap volume to be used when the system is rebooted:

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks

  • I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
    Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
    Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
    WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
    Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
    NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

  • I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and Itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognixed by all these devices?

    I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • Is it possible to change proxy settings for all profiles that´s created instead of the standard options. We need to change "use systems proxy" into "automatic"

    Proxy Problems
    We need to be able to change the default settings for the proxy for all profiles on our computers that´s created for new users.
    Standard is that firefox takes the option "use the system options" for the proxy. We would like it to use the option "automatic" instead like IE and Chrome does.
    Considering that we have over 500 computers doing this manually isn´t an option, because a new profile is created everytime someone logs on to a computer they haven´t used before.

    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaultspref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    This will work for all existing and newly created profiles.

    Those that support AirPrint are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Some printer manufacturers also have their own apps e.g. HP http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-eprint-home-biz/id299531647?mt=8

    My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it. How do I go back to the window that will allow me to enter my password. I have tried switching off the device, but each time the 'upgrading' comes on. I have also switched it off and left it on the charger for at least 6 hrs.

  • How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

    Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
    I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
    The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
    1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
    2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get  detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
    3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
    I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
    So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

    Subrat
