Fedora Security :: Prevent People From Unauthorized Access?
Mar 19, 2009I'm doing a research to protect my pc from physical access. What I'm facing here is that my company created a program for fedora 8 and plans to sell the unit away. We created a function where you can configure the program using any web browser from a network so we do not want anybody to have access to the fedora except for out personnel.
Based on my research, I've found [URL] this guide to protect people from accessing grub and single user. I am currently researching on preventing others to clone the harddisk. I would like to know if there are any other methods to prevent people from unauthorized access to fedora.

Oct 25, 2010Running RHEL5 and because of the environment that we are in we have to disable the users being able to change the screen saver.

May 21, 2009I want to prevent users changing the wallpaper, as i couldn't found any direct method I thought of preventing the /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties being running,
I know that the user also can set the wallpaper without running that . But didn't found any other way .
I tried to use SELinux to it and I'm stuck at writing a own policy.
According to SELinux, it prevents everything ., but as i have mapped the user to a SElinux user ,even though he can use administrative tasks , he can run the appearance window. that means he has got the permission from a different policy , Currently I'm stuck at this place.
Suitable way to prevent the wallpaper being changed by the normal users.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Prevent Users From Changing Their Password?
Jul 17, 2010I use the following method for preventing the users from changing their passwords , is there any other method other than this ?
ls -l /usr/bin/passwd
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 37140 2010-01-26 12:09 /usr/bin/passwd
so we need to remove the suid for that command as follows :- chmod u-s /usr/bin/passwd now normal users won't be able to change their own passwords - and only the root user will be able to do it for them.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Prevent Applications From Changing Monitor Resolution?
Jul 7, 2010Sometimes when starting applications, especially with Wine, the screen resizes to a much lower resolution. Sometimes when I close the application & usually when it crashes/I have to kill it, the screen stays at that much lower resolution. To get my normal 1900*1200 resolution back I have to delete all the applets I've put in the top menu bar to for there to be enough space for the menu to appear for me to select System>Prefs>Monitors.How can I prevent an application from altering my resolution & just force it to run windowed, or at a higher resolution?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Prevent Users From Changing Settings
Jun 15, 2011I am administrating a system with about 40 or 50 users, and we recently jumped ship from windows to ubuntu. Most of my users are getting along fine, but it seems every few days, i have to help someone who accidentally changed something, and now their account (or more rarely, the machine) is unusable, and has to be reset.
I know configuring /etc/sudoers is a huge step toward fixing my problem, but that still will not completely solve it. What I would like to do is prevent users from making ANY changes to the system (aside from their work files and the like), including themes, icons, desktop, background, etc.
Red Hat :: Prevent Kudzu From Changing Ifcfg-ethX File?
Aug 31, 2010Running Centos 5.5 64bit. Sometimes I boot this instalation in real machine, sometimas using vmware workstation. The problem is that these environments have different network interface cards - as soon as kudzu detects that network device changed it renames ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0.bak and places new default ifcfg-eth0.
Is it possible to command kudzu to leave ifcfg-eth0 as it is ?
Security :: Prevent Users From Changing Or Unset Their HISTFILE Variable?
Sep 30, 2010'readonly HISTFILE'
but the user could tamper with the histfile itself. Like:
rm -f $HISTFILE;
rm -f $HISTFILE; mkdir $HISTFILE;
rm -f $HISTFILE; ln -s /dev/null $HISTFILE;
I'm experimenting with PROMPT_COMMAND to execute a command each time the user executes a command and so log it somewhere else.This post was pruned from the 2009 Is there a way to prevent users from changing or unset their HISTFILE variable? thread. Please do not resurrect old threads but instead create your own (and maybe provide a link to the old one).

Ubuntu :: Are There Any Other Live Wallpapers?
May 28, 2011'm pretty new to Linux in general, but I have Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I saw online about a Galaxy Live Wallpaper (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/a...er-for-ubuntu/), but when I try to get it with the Terminal, it says 404 for a bunch of the stuff, so it won't install. From what I gather, it was only supported in 10.10, and not 11.04.My question is, are there any other live wallpapers that are compatible with Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal? I'm really digging this OS, I'd love to make it even better. The Galaxy one was just incredible, I reeeeally wish it worked.

I read some interesting facts here:

Obviously this info is a little obsolete since it is about Hardy, but it looks like recompiling Nautilus is still required. Can somebody tell me how to do this? Which packages do I need? Where to pull the right code from? Are there any precompiled Nautilus packages for Ubuntu 10.04 supporting Wallpaper plugin? (that would be amazing)
