Ubuntu :: Permanently Disable A Key?
Apr 2, 2010So I just installed Ubuntu on my second laptop, however I ran into a problem. The F9 key is going crazy. I'm not exactly sure what is causing it (I've already popped off and cleaned the keys) but if I could find a way to just disable it I'd be very happy.

Jul 14, 2009I came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started.
So to disable it do the following:
open terminal as root and execute:

And then change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled

This is it. Now reboot the system and selinux will never bother you again.
If you are not a Fedora user and you are using this forum just because we are cooler here then you will not find the /etc/selinux/config as in the fedora releases. What you need to do is to edit the kernel boot line and add selinux=0 at the end:

Nov 30, 2010I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on Lenovo Thinkpad, and I have tree pointing devices:
- touchpad
- trackpoint
- mouse, that is connected only when I am home, so for around 50% of time.
I have downloaded a package "Pointing Devices" and tried to disable a touchpad, which annoys me. Sometimes new settings works, but each time I connect/disconnect mouse, the default settings (everything on) restores. It's even worse, because right now the touchpad works and annoys me, while it's written that it's disabled in "Pointing devices", so either the package is outdated, or it's a BUG.

Ubuntu / Apple :: How To Permanently Disable Fn Key
Feb 20, 2011I've tried all three options here to permanently disable the fn key (so that when I press F1 it'll bring up help and when I press fn+F1, it'll dim the screen, etc.).
These methods work upon reboot, but once the computer is put to sleep (i.e. I close my lid), the settings are reverted back to default and I must use fn+ for everything again.
How can I keep the fn key disabled?
And on another note, why use gksudo instead of just sudo?
General :: Disable Ssh Server Permanently?
Mar 7, 2011Now i want to disable my ssh server "permanently",which means it won't run unless i start it after i login.that is,it is disabled at boot time by default.
i have asked a similar question before,but i still have some confusions.
Say that now the ssh server is running.my system is ubuntu 10.04. code...
The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
the shell gives me a warning:do not match LSB Default-Start values,this API is not stable and ...
what does this mean? still it can't disable the server "permanently",ethier.
what on earth should i do to solve this?

Ubuntu :: How To Permanently Disable Gnome-keyring-daemon
Dec 29, 2010How to permanently disable the gnome-keyring-daemon.
I've seen posts where there was a work around to store passwords in clear text. That's not a real solution. I've seen posts where killing the process and removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings is a temporary solution until next time you log in or reboot machine. Removing the package, will force removal of the whole kitchen sink. That's too intrusive.
There must be a way to stop this thing from starting up, ever.
I tried commenting out the entries in the /etc/pam.d/* files that refer to "pam_gnome_keyring.so", and have also unchecked the 3 keyring related entries under System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications, which are affiliated with these 3 files:
But I still get this one process once I log into the console window:
There must be one more file somewhere that says, "hey when someone logs in and starts up gdm, start the gnome keyring daemon".

View 7 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Blocking Ips Permanently And Throwing Away The Keys
Sep 22, 2010I want to block some ips permanently ie. even I as the root user cannot unblock these ips without having to format the whole system.
So i thought if some blocking software provided passwords for editing rules and I put a 'junk' password there and so that I can't delete the rules without the 'junk' password which I don't know.
So I examined iptables and I saw that it is a kernel module so there is no use of that since I can probably throw it away.
But the basic question is to block ips and gulp the key.

Feb 1, 2009I have been struggling with this for a very long time now. I have installed Fedora Core 9 on my computer. I have set it up as a caching-nameserver and this is working.

Security :: Iptables :everything Works Except Ftp
Jun 3, 2010i set up a dmz to have a internet web server and ftp server, and ssh only from local network, so i wrote a iptables script to load during boot :
[Code]...
The problem is that everything works fine ( i have the same rules for other services such as samba, nfs, mysql on another server) BUT ftp there is no way to make it work. not even locally.when i try to connect, i log in, but while listing the directory i get MLSD ... and it hangs like this for a moment, then i get error message "connection time out" , "impossible to list directory". if i turn off the iptables script no problem,ftp works fine.. but why all services work and ftp no?
how do i have to modify the rules? what is strange also is that if i set as OUTPUT policy "accept", the server seems to be offline."host unknown" error message. I was thinking the rule INPUT is fine cause at least i can login, but the dir list is not going out, so gotta modify output rules. or state?
Security :: IPTables - How To Set Default Allow
Mar 19, 2010I've started a new job and have inherited a couple of RHEL4 64-bit servers. The firewall on them is currently disabled. I'm struggling to get them up and running as iptables is not the most user-friendly application. This lead me to downloading and trying a GUI front-end: Guarddog. Great app! But it doesn't have the default behavior I'm looking for. Here is what I need:
Default behavior: Firewall should be wide open, allowing ALL ports/IP's/TCP/UDP in and out of the server.
Blacklist: Oracle TCP port 1521 needs to be blocked in/out of the server.
This will help get us passed our company's security vulnerability scan. (We aren't able to patch/upgrade Oracle at this time because we'd lose vedor support with a legacy app). I will use these settings as a starting point, and then once I learn more and get more comfortable with iptables (or a GUI app) then I can fine tune things to make them more secure. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) once I get a script I just copy it into /etc/rc.firewall and it will load when iptables starts.
