But, but, but... I was trying to find a local plumber to unblock the drains... ;-) But being seriously, I counselled some school computer admin a few years ago not to make half-baked bans that blocked the word "rape" in all queries, regardless. He might just prevent the one and only attempt someone made to help themselves after being raped. Some thought does need to go into how you go about blocking things. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.

Exact procedures depend on your circumstances. You'll need to tell the list more details. Probably what wireless hardware you have in your laptop (sending the output from lspci and dmidecode can help), and details about your wireless network (does it use encryption, which type, etc.). -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.

It involved the use of ISPConfig and ISPConfig encountered a fedora[7/8] GDM bug that caused "fast-switcher-?" to run at 100% CPU speed and it blocked Gnome's Login screen, according to this thread for those who are interested.

Yes if mounted by hal, no if mounted by fstab and of course, a filesystem that supports posix attributes.

Sounds more like a request than a declaration ;-) I wish they had provided some rationale, seeing as how the practice has a long history on Unix, and I (at least) have not run into any situation where it caused a problem. Requiring the closing bracket or not seems like a trivial difference in behavior, no? Yep, I'll go with 'weak' as well. Over a few hundred systems, this must be wasting almost a penny's worth of space. <JOE ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:30:58 -0800 From: "Tod Merley" <TODBOT88@GMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: haldaemon problem To: "For users of Fedora" <FEDORA-LIST@REDHAT.COM> Message-ID: <8b5e63cf0712112030w6b303aadw9c8b72f654ecfe4c@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Dec 11, 2007 2:14 PM, david walcroft <D_J_W46@BIGPOND.NET.AU>wrote: > > Todd Zullinger wrote: > > david walcroft wrote: ------------------- snip ---------> > >> 11:41:24.744 [D] util_helper.c:124: drop_privileges: could not set group id > >> [david@reddwarf ~]$ > >> > >> Hope this helps > >> > > > > It definitely gives up something to work with.
