Hi Friends,
I want to configure restricted shell for one of my server.
I want to allow specific commands only to my local admin , means he can
use only commands which i allowed for him.no more commands or any other
bash facility he can't use.
Please guide me , how to setup such kind of environment.
I am using fedora 15.

Benjo

Firefox 7 on Fedora 14
by Colin Paul Adams
Is it possible to have Firefox continually updated by rpm on a Fedora 14
system, or do I have to choose between staying on Fedora 3 or using
tarball installs?

Strangeness in Desktop Environment under XFCE
by Aaron Konstam
Something strange happens with the DE under XFCE. I have determined that
this strangeness results in my difficulty in playing CDs. So I have some
questions:
Primary Question
When I login to an XFCE session on my F15 machine, about half the time
it comes up normally. By this I mean that there is a mouse XFCE icon in
the middle of the screen. And clicking on the Desktop with my right
mouse button brings up the standard XFCE menu. In this state I can play
Audio CDs and do the other things one would expect to do.
However, half the time a few seconds after the normal screen appears the
screen turns to a form of the Gnome 3 display. In the center of the
screen is a world icon, the one I chose for my Gnome 3 DE. Right click
produces the Gnome 3 menu. However, the top panel is still the panel of
XFCE. Audio CD icons do not appear so Audio CDs can't be played. The
option under XFCE Preferences that changes the screen icon no longer
functions. The bottom XFCE panel also remains.
To be completely honest in both forms of DE display the vertical icons
of the Gnome3 DE also appear. Should that be?
So the real question is why does this second Gnoome3 display appear and
how can I stop this from happening?
Second Question
In both displays at times that last thing that happens when I login is
that a display of my home directory appears on the screen. Why is this
happening, and only sometimes?
Third Question
Back to Audio CDs. In order to play them I have to mount them using an
option that appears when I click on the Audio CD icon. Why is that?

Samba problems. Samba master fight with Linksys E4200 wireless router with storage ?
by linux guy
I'm having a lot of trouble setting up a Samba share on a virgin F15
install.
Right now everything works until I click on a shared file (via Samba). At
that point I get a "the file or folder smb://nas/TEST does not exist" error.
This is what smbclient shows for 192.168.1.10, ie nas, my Samba server.
$ smbclient -U% -L192.168.1.10
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.11-71.fc15]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
TEST Disk
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version
3.5.11-71.fc15)
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.11-71.fc15]
Server Comment
--------- -------
E4200
NAS Samba Server Version 3.5.11-71.fc15
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
WORKGROUP E4200
For the longest time smbclient showed there was no master. Today, my
E4200 wireless router, which has file sharing is showing up as master. I'm
not sure if I should be OK with that or not. Given my smb.conf file, I was
expecting nas to be the master. There doesn't appear to be a way to turn
file sharing off in the E4200. Maybe if I set the workgroup on it to null ?

Any ideas on why Samba isn't working ?
FWIW, I only used SWAT for looking at potential settings and setting a
couple globals. The rest I've been doing by hand. And I've been
restarting nmb and smb manually after each change.
I'm finding the online documentation for Samba to be umm... wanting. I'll
post up a little HOWTO when I get my NAS going.
Thanks

If you don't want to fullt remove the pk-yum plugin,
just disable it by:
edit(you editor of choice) /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/refresh-packagekit.conf
enabled=0

Works fine on stock F15 with the FF from Fedora.
Do you have any add-ons installed? Try starting from a command line
with -safe-mode specified.

Unlock SIM pin with NetworkManager
by Daniele Guerrieri
Hi,
i'm searching for a method to force unlock of sim card pin in a huawei usb
hsdpa device (ZTE K3565-Z HSDPA).
The problem is this: the first time i insert it, i'm asked for the PIN with
a popup dialog and so the sim gets unlocked and i can connect to it with
wammu.
BUT if I suspend,hibernate or simply remove and re insert the usb huawei,
sim remains locked and i'm no more prompted to insert the pin; I've tried to
stop NetworkManager, kill modem-manager and restart both but it didn't.
work. The only way is a complete reboot.
Does anyone know a method to force sim card unlock?
Thanks,
Daniele
