Now that's easy to remember!
Spaceballs is old, now it's IT crowd, and it makes for way better passwords.

... but noone listens to me anyway.
You can also ask any cryptoexpert. There are ways to crypt and also have decrypting by court order only.
PKI plus public key of authorities, decryptable by 2 keys. government decrypt key is owned by multiple people so decrypting without court order is difficult
Won't work for OTR obviously
or reboot, interact with grub, start a shell
instructions are a google search away for "recover from lost root password"
we need a tacky name for that windows vulnerability, else it's never going to make the news!
centos:
# grep wheel
wheel:x:10:root
redhat 5
# grep wheel
wheel:x:10:root
redhat 6
# grep wheel
wheel:x:10:root
in other news: chmod +s bash does not work as bash has code which does not allow itself to be SUID.
Seems too many people actually did that
how does systemd compare to solari's SMF?
I did not at all get along well with SMF. Too cumbersome for the little bonus it brings.
...except for shellshock.
that's a bug and got fixed.
prove me wrong.
and not with the classic file '-rf' as that's not executing but just plain parameter passing (which really should get fixed to be less likely to break stuff, i.e. fix GNU getopt)
is this from an old Microsoft presentation? Sound like it.
Yeah, systemd will make linux into windows, i.e. it will die. because if you want unmaintainable OS, just use windows, it has all the softwares.
systemd basically transforms linux into windows.
If you want to use windows, with it's hidden startup, binary logfiles and other cumbersome and useless administrator (non-)functionality then just go ahead and install windows. Don't shovel those silly concepts down the throats of millions of happy linux users.
I have seen similar stuff on other unixes, like AIX and Solaris. It's a headache, non controllable and impossible to debug. After linux goes to systemd, the only OS left with a file-based philosophy will be BSD and... HP-UX!
Maybe we can hope that HP-UX gets ported to x86 after Itanium is dead. And that HP never gets the idea "oh everyone else uses databases/xml/binary for system relevant data, let's just fuck it up and do the same"
Well my next linux is going to be non-systemd, and if there's none, well then it's to be a BSD.
After linux for the desktop never happened, linux in general will not happen.
It was a nice time, I'll move on.
Which BSD is the best "distro"?
well, looks like awk borrowed stuff from everywhere.
Like the invisible string concat reminds me of what echo does with it's parameters in the shell.
and it's still my preferred way of doing things.
I solved a lot of problems on codeeval.com with awk, and got quite good results. The code is really fast.
I love all languages which do not require the ;
So why bash, ksh and javascript listed?
If you do one liners, you need the ; but on separate lines the newline does the job as well.
Probably a reason why I may try to lean python. No ; there.
and this SMF may be coll and fancy, but it's a horrible headache for a "normal unix" sysadmin.
Why can't it just be simple files? Oh no, we need a frontend to dump in and out unreadable XML data.
Same goes qith AIX and it's internal database hiding stuff from the users.
So finally every unix and linux has it's own, incompatible "I want to do horrible registry like windows" hack just because it's cool and hip, but it's not useable.
Does systemd present a virtual filesystem where you can edit text files with vi and get the thing configured? That would be one idea with which I could still use my beloved broadcast sed commands to change configs on 100 servers.
subway cars? come on!
And how many libraries of congress?
Happiness is twin floppies.
