<0> Al-Ashtar: install the bsd-games :)
<0> (and you'll probably get "***" for free)
<1> Ah yes, I should have been more specific.
<0> lucien@lunax ~ $ which ***
<0> /usr/games/bin/***
<2> lol *** for free
<1> whereis *** ***: /usr/ports/games/***
<1> Not installed.
<0> ex -- spout silly, random porn-like text
<0> err
<0> well, you see what its supposed to say
<3> Aug 7 02:21:49 localhost gconfd (root-9004): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
<3> Aug 7 02:21:49 localhost gconfd (root-9004): Exiting
<3> I keep getting that !
<1> It's because you stopped using gconf, so it shuts down.
<3> # wtf is rtfm
<3> RTFM: read the fine/****ing manual
<1> You have root on ubuntu????
<3> # wtf is gconfd
<3> Gee... I don't know what gconfd means...
<3> HA!!
<1> Use whatis instead of wtf.
<3> # whatis gconfd
<3> gconfd: nothing appropriate.
<1> That ****s.
<3> p3nguin: of course I have root on ubuntu
<1> Why?
<1> You're not supposed to have it.
<3> oh you mean the msg ?
<1> No.
<2> sudo is your friend on ubuntu
<1> I mean id 0
<1> You're not supposed to have root on ubuntu. That's why they never ask for a root p***word... they don't want you to set one nor use root.
<3> well, sometimes I use the root account instead of sudo because I want to do multiple commands
<3> and sudo would ask you for a p*** everytime
<1> Excuses, excuses.
<1> So reconfigure sudoers so that it doesn't ask for the p***wd.
<1> sudo visudo
<2> sudo has a timelimit in which it doesnt ask for a p***wd.. if i recall corectly
<1> It does.
<1> It asks one time per session on my box.
<2> yeah. here too.
<1> The first time I enter the p***wd it won't ask me again as long as I don't log out the user.
<2> oh, well here its some time limit, like a couple of minutes.
<1> Maybe I never waited long enough?
<1> I get in, get my **** done, get out.
<2> maby. dunno
<2> ah well, ive emerged stuff (ie compiling) takes forever. using sudo. then when im about to do the next emerge or use sudo again (in the same terminal) i get to print in my p***wd
<1> I'll test it on mine.
<2> would be intresting to know
<1> Testing now. Will report at end of test.
<2> k
<0> ok, off
<2> later
<4> can anybody tell me what the regex to remove anything in a string (including whitespace) that doesn't match A-Z and 0-9?
<1> Wow. It's been since Slackware 8.0 that I bought a boxed set from them. I guess they are due to get more monetary support from me on 11.0.
<1> That was 2000 or 2001.
<2> hm havent bought a dist yet .. :(
<2> thinking about gentoo 2006.1
<1> I believe in supporting monetarily by purchasing products from the distributor.
<2> yeah
<1> I give moral support by plugging any chance I get about the distro. :D
<2> yeah, here too ;)
<2> took less than 7 min for my sudo to "timeout"
<5> Boredboy: again you need to get a regex tester like kiki
<4> MrAnderson, sorry, forgot to mention I sorted it
<5> Boredboy: so why dont you get a regex tester first
<5> then get back with us
<1> I did a 10 minute test. It did time out.
<1> I'm doing a five minute test next.
<2> probably something like that, 3-5 min
<6> hello
<6> can u help me
<7> BoDy_BoY: not unless you ask a question
<8> what is the url for posting large text?
<3> For the user who needs to do several things that require root privileges, the simplest thing to do may be to just get a root prompt:
<3> sudo -s -H
<3> and keep that session around until finished. Needless to say, if you need to walk away you should control-d that session first!
<3> useful info
<3> hey Cognition, how is it going ?
<6> ./configure: line 2339: cc: command not found
<6> *** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
<6> *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
<7> Al-Ashtar: ever heard of su ?
<6> can u help me about this
<5> well you use sudo
<7> BoDy_BoY: the message is self explanatory
<5> Cognition: if you didnt know that way users dont have the root p***
<3> Cognition: yeah, but we're talking about sudo's timeout
<5> but can perform certain fuctions as root
<1> JoseLo: Always use a pastebin like pastebin.ca or nomorepasting.com
<5> sudousers get up to date on that
<5> Al-Ashtar: he thinks su is the solution
<2> im off, later
<1> four minutes it isn't timed out.
<2> oh. gotta be 5 then
<3> p3nguin: how can you check !
<3> never mind
<7> BoDy_BoY: you need to set the environment variable to your compiler, IF you have it in the first place
<1> Al-Ashtar: YES!
<3> stupid question
<1> It wasn't a question.
<6> how ?
<7> BoDy_BoY: look at the package, go to the readme file and see the requirements, specifically, the packages that need to be installed
<1> Questions end with a ? symbol.
<3> you just issue a root command every 30secs maybe
<6> ok
<3> right ?
<7> Al-Ashtar: you can alter the time-out period
<3> Cognition: how ?
<7> Al-Ashtar: however, if you are going to do multiple work, then just su
<7> Al-Ashtar: visudo
<3> Cognition: that's what I usually do
<8> thanks p3nguin
<3> but the guys suggested I shouldn't use su
<3> and stick to sudo
<7> Al-Ashtar: yeah i heard about this approach and i'm not convinced
<5> Cognition: not being convinced
<7> Al-Ashtar: the whole idea behind sudo is safety and security
<5> there is something new
<3> oh
<3> I found it
<7> Al-Ashtar: with sudo, you can ***ign privilege only to specific commands (not everything that the root uses)
<3> it's not visudo
<1> It timed out on five minutes.
<9> visudo is what you use to edit the sudoers file
<3> edit this file /etc/sudoers
<9> no
<9> use visudo
<3> Defaults p***wd_timeout=10
<3> Defaults syslog=auth,p***wd_timeout=10
<7> Al-Ashtar: however, if you want to use all privileges, and you want essentially whatever the root account is capable of, then no difference between sudo and su
<3> nivek: I want to edit the sudo timeout
<3> not sudoers
<7> Al-Ashtar: it is called the sudoers file!
<1> sudo vim /etc/sudoers
<7> or better yet, sudo visudo
<3> yes
<3> if you add those two lines
<3> sudo will timeout after 10 minutes
<3> 5 is the default
<9> visudo edits the sudoers file in a safe fashion, analogous to vipw(8).
<9> visudo locks the sudoers file against multiple simultaneous edits, pro
<9> vides basic sanity checks, and checks for parse errors.
<9> if you just blindly edit the file... a typo could lock you out using sudo completely :)
<1> I always edit it directly. I'm comfortable doing so.
<7> nivek: that's right, that's why i suggested sudo visudo
<7> p3nguin: oh, not me!
<3> aha
<3> cool
<7> p3nguin: i mean how hard is it to type somethnig while trying to :wq
