Hi List,

I see on CentOS 7 it has log4j-1.2.17...
Is ok 2 use. I know the CVE was against 2.0 fwd but not knowing if
something was backported to 1.2 ?

Thanks,
Steve



log4j Version 1.2 is definitely *NOT* OK to use.

The Apache website https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/ says:
"On August 5, 2015 the Logging Services Project Management Committee
 announced that Log4j 1.x had reached end of life."

There is already an unpatched CVE from 2019 for log4j 1.2.

It's really time to upgrade.

Kind regards,
  Steve



This is the standard version that comes with CentOS 7 and is the latest 
available as of a yum update just now.
log4j-1.2.17-16.el7_4.noarch

tl;dr: you don't.

Log in as a non-root user, and when you do need root, either open up a
terminal
and use 'su -' or (even better) setup your user by making your user a
member of
the wheel group and then use sudo.

Logging in to a GUI as root is *BAD* practice.

Cheers,

Niki





That said - you can do it, by clicking on "Not listed?" and typing root
into the user field.

Yes I have done that and it immediately comes back to the login screen,
I know I am typing the
correct passwd, because if I botch the passwd I get a message to that
effect.






I would not recommend ever using the GUI as the root user .. it creates
keys and items that are very dangerous. (gnome key rings, etc)

You should be able to 'su -' , then use visudo to create a sudo account
for your user.  You can even NOPASSWD your user for using sudo (you may
or may not want to do that .. if someone gains access to your local
account, they could then sudo with no passwd).

But, i have never, ever logged in as root on a GUI account directly on a
machine that I cared about or was keeping live .. just advise, do with
it what you will.

Turns out that as the intial user I was put into the wheel group so I am able 
to login and run firewall-config which what this
was about.

Hello,

How do I allow root log in on GDM.
The only people that have access are admins - so I am not worried about
someone screwing things up.

Thanks,
