Hi,
1. I need a certain directory on my debian squeeze machine ( /var/lib/
gems/1.8/bin/ ) to be in the PATH when i run a sudo command. Hence, I
appended this dir to the ENV_PATH item in /etc/login.defs
2. Is there is a way to get /etc/login.defs re-evaluated without
rebooting. I put an export

Hallo,
Ich habe in meiner /etc/login.defs die Option GETPASS_ASTERISKS auf 4
gesetzt, was eigentlich bei jeder Eingabe zufällig 1 bis 4 Sternchen
ausspucken sollte, aber leider funktioniert das nicht und er behält die
Standard-Einstellung bei und generiert keine Sternchen.

In /etc/security/pam_env.conf, is ${PATH} supposed to see the value
of PATH set by /etc/login.defs?
If I set PATH in login.defs (using ENV_PATH=xxx) and set PATH=${PATH}:yyy
in pam_env.conf, the setting from login.defs doesn't show up (PATH gets
set to :yyy).
If I remember correctly (I looked

Hi,
Just wanted to know, why I can't use
LOGIN_STRING %s's password:
in login.defs.
The default password string (Password: ) won't change.
I've tried it on several Linuxes (RH, Slack, SuSE) and
it worker perfectly.
Thanks in advantage...

Any ideas?

Read the info file on the su command. Basically
I did an apt-get dist-upgrade to potato the other day, and my login.defs
no longer seems to be used. I assume this probably has something to do
with pamification. Any pointers anyone can give will be appreciated.

May be an easier way but how about making an XDM group? Put the
users in that. Then let group xdm be a member of floppy.
? What do you mean by XDM group?

I mean in /etc/groups add a group xdm. List all users that use xdm in it.
Then add this new group xdm to the floppy line.

That wouldn't work. I think what he's looking for is a way to put people
into the group when they're logged in at the console
Hi,
Am I missing something obvious? I like it very much the way I can
put CONSOLE_GROUPS in login.defs because I want the person sitting on the
console to be able to read the floppy drive with mtools and *only* that
person. Problem is I had to set up a couple of boxes to use xdm against

I need to set TZ to the local timezone (CST6CDT) on my hamm boxes so pine
knows the local time. I have set the following in /etc/login.defs:
ENV_TZ TZ=CST6CDT
which did not set TZ for any users. I also tried setting:
ENV_TZ /etc/tzname
and putting CST6CDT in /etc/tzname
I get the following message when I log on as 'su'.
configuration error - unknown item 'ISSUE_FILE' (notify administrator)
I cleared this out in the login.defs file (per help on this list) for
a normal login by setting up a null /etc/issue file. I can login now
as a normal user without
19 matches
