Nm-applet ask for root passwd when connecting to a new wireless networ

Hi,
I just installed Archlinux and I have some trouble with network-manager-applet: it asks for the root passwd when I try to connect first time to a wireless network. After giving the root passwd and the required wireless authentication, nm connects with no problem, and saves the connection as a system one, so there is no problem at connecting second time.
I have read the wiki, and I know that it should be some consolekit or policykit problem. I use gdm3 as displaymanager, so it should take care of consolekit, and I have the Policykit Authentication Agent ( gnome-polkit ) in my startup applications ( by the way, I use Xfce, 32bit ), so there should not be need for explicit grant permissions for the users.
At least in my openSUSE box there is no polkit configuration file which contains
[nm-applet]
Identity=unix-group:network
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
, but the nm-applet is usable without root access.

I think that if you search /var/lib/polkit-1 and /etc/polkit-1/ for
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
on your openSUSE.
You will find a rule that permits you to connect.

Root and Issuing Cert Enrolment

I have a 2012 2 tier PKI environment. Offline root CA and 4 Enterprise Issuing CA's. The offline root CA has been published to AD, the enterprise issuing CA's are in AD by virtue of being enterprise CA's. My question is how did the root cert and the issuing
CA's certs get into the local stores on each machine. Auto enrolment has not been configured on the computer OU's.
Is there a GPO in the default domain policy, or is there another mechanism that does this? certutil -pulse does an reenrolment for any pending certs (root and issuing included) what mechanism is this calling, ie.e what protocol is this using.
Thanks

Hi,
as soon you have published a root or intermediate ca certificate to AD the certs get distributed to all machines with the next gpupdate run. There is no actual GPO setting required for that. But there is a GPO setting so that you can distribute ca certs
from e.g. business partners to only a subset of machines.
Depending on you configuration autoenrollment triggers over API the pki client to request a new certificate over RPC/DCOM or HTTPS (not /certsrv !) (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7734.certificate-enrollment-web-services-in-active-directory-certificate-services.aspx#How_Certificate_Enrollment_Web_Service_Differs_from_CA_Web_Enrollment)
Regards,
Lutz
it is not quite correct statement. Certificate publishing relies on autoenrollment/enrollment triggers. If there is no configured autoenrollment policy and no enrollment (manual) performed, the certificate will not be downloaded from Active Directory.

Hi,
I could not identify what is your problem with information wich you provided.
But I belive it's permission issue, because the error is raised when he try create some directory
2012-01-31 12:07:30: 6: crsconfig_lib   crsconfig_lib.pm     11749 File::Path::mkpathIf its a new installation try remove /etc/oracle and re-run root.sh if it's a upgrade check permission and contents of files olr.loc under /etc/oracle.
The permission of /etc/oracle must be chmod 755 and chown root:root
A root.sh script can error out and/or fail under one of the following conditions:
- Problem with the network configuration.
- Problem with the storage location for the OCR and/or voting files.
- Permission problem with/var/tmp (specifically /var/tmp/.oracle).
- Some other configuration issue.
- An Oracle bug.
Most configuration issues should be detectable by running the Cluster Verification Utility with the following syntax (input the nodelist):
cd <GRID_HOME>/bin
./cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n <nodelist> -r 11gR2 -verboseI suggest you read the tech note below.

KDS Root Key Issues

Hi Guys,
So this issue started during a test deployment of ADFS. I wast to use gMSA so I used the option "Create Group Managed Service Account" but it failed during the install.
Troubleshooting:
- Patch & reboot DC
- Enable Windows Firewall
- Check Root Key showing ok in ADSS/Services
- Tried different DC
- ADD new KDS Root Key
- Wait 10Hrs
- Checked event log
After this I was just going to create a gMSA manually. Here was my process:
PS C:\Users\super51b> get-kdsrootkey
AttributeOfWrongFormat :
KeyValue : {99, 116, 39, 17...}
EffectiveTime : 1/04/2014 7:48:43 p.m.
CreationTime : 1/04/2014 7:48:43 p.m.
IsFormatValid : True
DomainController : CN=************=****,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=***,DC=local
ServerConfiguration : Microsoft.KeyDistributionService.Cmdlets.KdsServerConfiguration
KeyId : **************-******-******-******-**************
VersionNumber : 1
PS C:\Users\super51b> test-kdsrootkey -keyid "**************-******-******-******-**************"
test-kdsrootkey : There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706D9)
At line:1 char:1
+ test-kdsrootkey -keyid "**************-******-******-******-**************"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Test-KdsRootKey], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x800706D9),Microsoft.KeyDistributionService.Cmdlets.TestKdsRootKeyCommand
Then I thought I would just try create the account anyway so i ran:
New-ADServiceAccount -name <ServiceAccountName> -DNSHostName <fqdn> -PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword <group> -ServicePrincipalNames <SPN1,SPN2,…>
But recived the same error.
I tried adding a new KDS Root Key but also got the same error.
A bit of research only brings up Exchange Install issues that relate the the Windows Firewall being disabled so I enabled it ran again but got the same result.
I don't wan't to delete the KDS Root Key in-case it is in us.
Anyone seen this before???

You need to have a DC running 2012+ in the default DC container not in sub OUs/Containers what a massive waste of time for such a retarded issue.

[NameConstraintsExtension] not taking effect on Sub-CA request, nor Root-CA issued cert

I need to constrain the valid names for a child CA, and want this attribute visible in the certificate. I have placed the required entry in Policy.inf, and Capolicy.inf in both the Root and the Child CA, but I'm unable to get the .REQ file nor the
issued certificate to have the required constraint.
I have pasted in a full output of my INF files in the following Serverfault.com link

Lost root passwd; can't log into system

I have an UltraSPARC 5 that's currently running Solaris 8. I haven't used it for years (long story) but am not trying to get it back in action. The problem is that I can't remember the passwd for root (or any other login, for that matter). I wanted to do a reinstall of either Solaris 8 or try out Solaris 9 but the system just boots straight into the existing OS load. Is there a way to force the boot sequence into the OK prompt? I'm afraid my Solaris/SPARC is very rusty these days.

Hi
1. You will need to know the root partition (/dev/sd0a or /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0).
2. Hit the STOP-A or L1-A to halt the system.
3. Boot into single user mode, either from CDROM (boot cdrom -s) or across the network (boot net -a).
4. Mount the root partition on /a (mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a).
5. If you are using a Sun console, type "TERM=sun; export TERM".
6. Remove the encrypted password from the root line of one of the follwing files:
a. For SunOS 4.x - /a/etc/passwd
b. For SunOS 4.x with shadow passwords/C2 - /a/etc/passwd.adjunct
c. For solaris 2.x - /a/etc/shadow
7. Now change directories to the root (cd /)
8. Type "umount /a"
9. Now reboot into single-user mode (boot -s). The system will not have a root password. Use the passwd command to enter a new password.

Aufs root - permissions issues

Hi all,
I migrated several services from a running system to an aufs root system and am unable to start those services due to permission issues. I had an issue previously where cups was unable to print because my rootfs was squashfs with an aufs overlay and it could not write to cups directory even though the permission looked correct with ls -alR on that directory.
I still have issues with privoxy and openldap (slapd).
I'm wondering what I need to do to make my system run properly with aufs as root.
Walter

GWD2008,
I too am having permissions issues with Front Row, iTunes, and iLife it happen just after the update. However researching into the problem they are just shortcuts to an original files. Which on the original files Permissions are correct and the reason the permissions are wrong on the shortcuts is because of the little l. I was unable to fix the permission error myself in Terminal and in Finder. And in my opinion as long as the programs are running with no problems its nothing to be to concerned over. As for ACL or SUID files you can just ignore according to apple. See this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Resolution
You can safely ignore any "SUID file" or "ACL found but not expected..." message. These messages are accurate but are not a cause for concern.

SRW208P RSTP Root Negotiation Issue - switches shipping after 4/19/10?

Hi all,
We have configured hundreds of SRW208P switches, with the below hardware and software versions, using a canned configuration we developed long ago. Three weeks ago we placed an order for 4 of them (all same versions as below) and found when we loaded our canned configuration, they all dropped off the air. After further investigation, we pinpointed the issue to Rapid Spanning Tree mode settings. At the instant we set the SRW208P's bridge priority to the same priority as the connecting switch (SRW2048G4P--same switch and RSTP priority we have used for all prior configuration) the SRW208P drops off the network. Console continues to work fine.
Boot Version:          1.0.1 (Date: 06-Jun-2006, Time: 17:23:21)
Software Version:      1.0.4 (Date: 06-Sep-2007, Time: 09:11:40)
Hardware Version:      00.03.00
Has anybody else had something like this happen recently? We worked around the issue by creating a new canned configuration with SRW208P RSTP root priority to something different from the SRW248G4P, but, I'm wondering if this is a faulty chip series or something like that.
Regards,
lamorrell

Thank you Andrew for the response.
We haven't upgraded the software on the SRW208P switches as they have been shipping with the latest firmware, 1.0.4. As a precaution, I grabbed the current image off Cisco and uploaded it to the switch. The switch shows the same version and create date as indicated in my original post, so this confirms the Software version we are running is the latest code.
We are running the following versions on the SRW248G4P switch.
Boot Version:         1.0.1
Software Version:     1.0.2
Loader Version:       1.0.1
Hardware Version:     R01
I know there's a newer 1.3.1.0 software version out there. Since the problem seems to follow the "new" SRW208P switches I am dubious about a 248G4P upgrade. We will probably do the upgrade eventually.
I'm attaching the config files for the SRW208P and SRW248G4P switches. If you want to load these, the 48-port config requires that you enter the switch's base mac in two places near the top of the text file (replace "put-MAC-here" with hardware MAC address of target switch using xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format). The RSTP priority in this config has been modified to 12288, which works fine with the 208P default STP settings.
The 208P configuration is the factory default with these modifications: IP address, mask, and gateway, and the Spanning Tree type and priority are RSTP 16384.
If you want to see the failure, you will need to set the priority on both switches to the same value, so, for example, 16384. I did an experiment this morning where I set them both to 16384, then changed the 248G4P RSTP priority to 12288. I then was able to access the 208P Web portal log--there was only one entry regarding spanning tree:
3   2147483643   01-Jan-2000 01:55:23    Warning   %STP-W-PORTSTATUS: g2: STP status Forwarding
These are the log messages from the 248G4P (fa3 on the 248G4P switch connects to g2 on the 208p):

How to retrieve root passwd on Mac OS X 10.7.4

HI
I am trying to "chown" a directory and it's files but I recieve operation not permitted. I believe I need to become root "su - root" to performe chown.
My question is how do I retrieve root password?
Thanks

By default, the root user is not enabled. Its password does not exist until you enable the root user and specify one.
Why do you need to change ownership of a directory? This should not be necessary, and is likely to cause problems. Whatever you want to do can almost certainly be performed more safely another way.

EXS24 Root Key Issue

When creating a new sample instrument, the generic assigned root key of C4 does NOT play back the sample (audio file) at the right pitch. In fact it is an octave off. A sound with root key of C4 will sound an octave too high (and twice as fast) when the C4 key is pressed - this is using the instrument editors own virtual keyboard which has a nice C4 printed on the key. Playing the C3 key will give the desired result playing it at pitch.
What is going on? Has anyone else noticed this?
I used two different computers so it seems to be systematic.
Paul

This is because the default root key in the sample editor of the EXS24 is C3 (i think). This means that regardless of what the sample is(all be it a C4 pitch) C3 will need to be pressed to play that sample at its actual speed/original pitch. this means that if you want the C4 sample to play normally when C4 is pressed, you will need to change the root key in the instrument editor page.

Root certificate issue with keytool (Tomcat)

I have:
- Created a certificate request
- Sent the request to a CA (Verisign affiliate)
- Received the certificate
- Installed the certificate
When I surf to the page that utilizes the certificate, I receive an error message:
"This CA Root certificate is not trusted. To enable trust, install this certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authoritues store"
I use the certificate with Apache Tomcat. The root certificate is imported into the cacerts file. I use the following commands to prepare and install the certificate:
keytool -genkey -dname "cn=somesite.com, ou=IT, o=SomeCompany, l=Stockholm, s=Sweden, c=SE" -keyalg "rsa" -alias SomeAlias -keystore D:\ssl\SomeFolder\keystore.jks -storepass SomePassword -validity 360
keytool -certreq -alias SomeAlias -file D:\ssl\SomeFolder\MyCSR.csr -keystore D:\ssl\SomeFolder\keystore.jks -storepass SomePassword
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias SomeAlias -file D:\ssl\SomeFolder\MyCert.cer
I don't see why I am having this problem. Please help me. I've spend several hours with different problems regaring the keytool utility, and the current certificate is valid for only three more days.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bj�rn

I am guessing that your ks file is not visible by the default config for Tomcat
Check in your tomcat/conf/server.xml
the config for the SSL Coyote Connector config block... you must specify the keystoreFile, maybe keystorePass... see http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/ssl-howto.html under Edit the Tomcat Configuration File

Admin passwd issue after using apple s option

I have an old PPC G5 duel 2.0 I still have some information and programming files on this unit which from time to time I still need to access, it has been about a year since I last logged into this unit and found that the last password I remembered is wrong or I cant remember it.
So I tried the following options from Apple S
Type mount -uw / and press Enter.
Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press Enter.
Type shutdown -h now and press Enter.
When the unit shut down and I restarted, the welcome video began to play and the installer began to run.
I am stuck here because I cant seem to get the unit to see a previous installation, couple of quick notes.
I had the install disk in the DVD, (earlier the DVD did not recognize the disk) So I am not sure if the disk booted and thus leaves me in the installer .
Is there a way to recover from this condition?
I do have a backup, I tried to use that back up but got a strange warning, about how the machine would need to be upgraded first, odd because the backup was from the current version. 10.5.x

I went as far as selecting the language, I did not select continue, I did attempt to load a backup file, but received an error backup was not compatible with the version, upgrade required first.
I did not see any menu items for resetting the password.
Its also possible the DVD disk may not be properly reading the DVD disk, (it will not play audio CDs but does recognize data DVDs,)
If the DVD drive is bad, Im stuck here, until I get a new one, but will try the steps you outlined,
(I removed the DVD from the drive, rebooted, right back to the installer) (without the DVD in the drive)
So, that confused me, will try to see if I can get the drive to boot to the Disk, (thanks for your reply, I appreciate it)

Shutting Down the server using Xyplex ?- Root passwd not known for Decomiss

Hi All,
I am on run level 3 and need to get to run level 0 through xyplex console.The server is on run level 3 .I know there are controls for xyplex to get to run level 0 - ctrl a + ctrl b.But these are not working.I dont have the access to the server rite now.Only access to console but I cannot login to the server.( it was decommisnned).Does anybody know how to get to run level 0 or shutting down the server through xyplex.

step 3:
Keep "dbora" in following path :
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/dbora
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/dbora
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora
And also ,
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
chkconfig --level 345 dbora on
Check following links are there
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora

Issue in installing Oracle !! root.sh giving problem

I am trying to install Oracle RAC on Linux and I am facing one issue at root.sh.
Introduction to hardware: H/W :- Intel Xeon Dual core CPU 2.0 GHz x 2 Nos / 4 GB RAM /6 NIC with
3 bond(0,1,2) / 2 FC port to access SAN /SWAP =8 GB
SAN = EMC CX3-80 SAN Storage
Space required by dbms server is 1 TB and it is access by shared storage with
171 GB * 6 and for OCR and voting disk 10 GB is separately access from
Storage.
OS: RHEL4 64bit
I used following process:
--> check all RPM which is pre-required for installing oracle RAC
We done following things
(1) Create oinstall group (groupadd -g 700 oinstall)
(2) Create dba group (groupadd -g 701 dba)
(3) Oracle user add (useradd -u 700 -g oinstall -G dba oracle
(4) Check kernel settings as per required by oracle and set it (sysctl.conf)
(5) Create partition for OCR and vote disk by fdisk command
fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath5
create primary 256MB x 2 (OCR)
create primary 256MB x 1 (VOTE)
create logical 256MB x 2 (VOTE)
and binding with raw devices
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/mapper/mpath5p1
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/mapper/mpath5p2....
(6) Make proper permission for the OCR and vote disk
chown rootinstall /dev/raw/raw[1-2]
chown oracleinstall /dev/raw/raw[3-5]
chmod 640 /dev/raw/raw[1-2]
chmod 640 /dev/raw/raw[3-5]
(7) create ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME directory for Oracle cluster installation
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle ===> ORACLE_BASE
mkdir -p /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1 ==> Oracle cluster Home
chown -R rootinstall /u01/crs/orace/product/10.2.0/crs_1
chown -R oracleinstall /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1
(8) set hangcheck_timer
(9)Make proper entry in /etc/hosts file --> file is attached with this mail for

Hi,
The VIP related messages might not exactly be the problem ..
Have you looked at the following files which might prove to be more useful in diagnosing the failed root.sh issue
a) The OS Messages files from around the time of the root.sh unsuccessful run
b) Any files under the TEMP directory .. Usually name /tmp/crsctl*
c) The crsd / ocssd log file located under the $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/cssd/ocssd.*
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/crsd/ocssd.*
d) Any OCR files under the directory
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/client/
All these would have to checked from the timeframe of when the root.sh was
run .. This should give us a better idea of the problem ..
For the VIP issue , you might want to check : Note:338924.1 on Metalink ..
Basically cluvfy makes an assumption that certain classes of addresses are non-routable and hence if these are used for VIP's or Public IP's , you would get that message reported.
