FreeBSD :How do I disable desktop icons for “Computer,” “Home,” and “Trash?”

How do I disable desktop icons for “Computer,” “Home,” and “Trash?”

If you do not want your desktop cluttered with the default icons for “Computer,” “Home,” and “Trash,” you can disable any or all of them. To do this, launch Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor (gconf-editor from the command line), and go to the /apps/nautilus/desktop key.

From here, you can enable or disable the icons, and even rename “Home” and “Trash.”

FreeBSD : How do I upgrade from gnome2-lite to the full GNOME 2.28 desktop?

How do I upgrade from gnome2-lite to the full GNOME 2.28 desktop?

The Lite edition does not include all of the components of the standard GNOME 2.28 desktop. If you wish to install the full desktop, first remove the gnome2-lite package, then install the gnome2 port or package. For example:

root@kartook# pkg_delete gnome2-lite

Then one of the following:

root@kartook# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2

root@kartook## make install clean

or:

root@kartook# pkg_add -r gnome2

Alternatively, you can install additional GNOME components individually using either their ports or packages.

Add following code to your .htaccess or httpd.conf (directory directive) file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

If you added directives to httpd.conf, restart Apache:

Win 2008 SRv core -Reducing the Server Core disk footprint

In the Server Core installation option, there is a way to remove the server roles and optional features from the disk, to free up more space. In addition to reducing disk usage, this could be used to ensure an administrator doesn’t add a role or feature to a server that is supposed to perform a fixed function.

Warning: This is a one way operation, once you remove a role or feature there is NO way to bring it back. If you realize later that you need the role or feature the only option is to reinstall.

To do this:

1.       Run: pkgmgr /up:<package to remove>

2.       Reboot – you can remove multiple packages before rebooting.

3.       Wait about 30 minutes for the disk cleanup to occur.

You will then see the disk space used by the role or feature is freed up, oclist will no longer show the role or feature as being available, and trying to install it using ocsetup will result in an error. Once again, read the warning above – there is no way to put the role or feature back, it is permanently gone from the system.

The role and feature packages available for removal are:

·         Microsoft-Hyper-V-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-BLB-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-MultipathIo-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-NetworkLoadBalancingHeadlessServer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-NFS-ServerFoundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-Printing-ServerCore-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-QWAVE-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-RemovableStorageManagementCore-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-SecureStartup-OC-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-SNMP-SC-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-SUA-Core-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-Telnet-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

If you are running on an x86 box, change the amd64 above to x86.

In addition to the roles and features listed in oclist, it is also possible to remove IME support as well as the supporting fonts by removing the following packages:

·         Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-EA-IME-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

·         Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-EA-Fonts-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6001.18000

Removing these will reduce the on disk footprint by ~200MB.

Security : Encrypt CD/DVDs

This guide can be adapted to all linux ditro, its not one specific.

Installing necessary tools

kartook@Nilas:~$sudo apt-get install aespipe mkisofs loop-aes-utils

Chose a password
You need to chose a 20+ character password and DO NOT FORGET IT, you will NEVER get your data back if you forget the password.

Note : Use KeePass

Creating the CD/DVD image
Make a directory called backup then copy the files you want to burn into the backup directory.
We are using AES encryption, you can chose from 128 or 256 bit key lengths, I recommend 256.

kartook@Nilas:~$mkisofs -r backup | aespipe -e aes256 > backup.iso

or for 128 bit key length

kartook@Nilas:~$mkisofs -r backup | aespipe -e aes128 > backup.iso

Mounting the image
First we need to load some modules

kartook@Nilas:~$sudo modprobe aes
kartook@Nilas:~$sudo modprobe cryptoloop

For 128 bit key lengths:

kartook@Nilas:~$sudo mount -t iso9660 backup.iso /mnt/iso -o loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=aes128

For 256 bit key lengths:

kartook@Nilas:~$sudo mount -t iso9660 backup.iso /mnt/iso -o loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=aes256

This will mount the image in /mnt/iso (make sure you have the directory before you try to mount)

Burning
You can burn the image with your k3b, you might get some warnings about the image but you can ignore them.

Mounting the new CD/DVD
First make sure you loaded the aes and cryptoloop modules

kartook@Nilas:~$sudo modprobe aes
kartook@Nilas:~$sudo modprobe cryptoloop

kartook@Nilas:~$sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/iso -o loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=aes256

Spy on your users through SSH

See what your users are doing using SSH connected to your system – this will show you what happens on the first console. If someone is typing, you’ll be able to get an output of his keystrokes. Substitute cat /dev/vcs1 with cat /dev/vcs2 or cat /dev/vcs3 and so on for other consoles.

cat /dev/vcs1

Q : Windows Domain Log on issue ?

In Windows 2003 domain environment  desktops with XP Professional the log on to our domain name.

It now displays our domain name with (windows 2000) next to it.

Why would this change from the correct domain name to domain name (windows 2000) only on a  few computers and how do we correct it?

2 Domain Controllers.

Ans :

we would recommend removing the system from the domain and deleting the computer from active directory.Then readd it to the domain.
Also make sure its in the same OU as the rest of your computers and make sure its in the same groups. Run SID tool .
