<br>-----------------------------------------------
<br><br>The GNOME System Tools version 2.28.2 have been released.
<br><br>The GNOME System Tools are a set of cross-platform configuration
<br>utilities for Linux and other Unix systems. The frontends know nothing
<br>about the underlying system and provide the same user interface across
<br>the different types of systems. Internally they use the Liboobs library.
<br><br>Changes since last release
<br>==========================
<br><br> Users
<br> =====
<br> - Fix bug setting GID to 0 when editing groups, easily leading to
<br>overwriting the root group, thus giving random users admin rights
<br><br> Network
<br> =======
<br> - Fix empty PPP connection type combo

<br>bugs in 2.8.2 - don't hesitate to upgrade your users!
<br><br><br>System Tools Backends Version 2.8.3, 2009-11-15
<br>-----------------------------------------------
<br><br>The System Tools Backends version 2.8.3 "Bloody shambles" have been
<br>released.
<br><br>Changes since last release
<br>==========================
<br><br> - Fix severe regressions that prevented changing/deleting users, and
<br>setting time.

<br>priorities, which makes the gnome-system-tools 2.29.1 require it.
<br><br><br>Liboobs 2.29.1, 2009-11-30
<br>--------------------------
<br><br>Liboobs version 2.29.1 "Not Yet!" has been released.
<br><br>- Remember init scripts priority, allowing for GUIs not to care about
<br>them, simply passing 0 to mean "previous".
<br>- Don't allow clients to remove init scripts by setting their status to
<br>"ignore": scripts should always use "start" or "stop" statuses, so that
<br>their priority is not lost when disabling them.
<br>- Print a warning to the console when asynchronous commit fails. This
<br>ensures that errors will always be reported for debugging purposes.

<br>-----------------------------------------------
<br><br>The System Tools Backends version 2.8.2 "Don't mess with my arguments!"
<br>have been released.
<br><br>Changes since last release
<br>==========================
<br><br> - Add compatibility with Upstart init system, used on the Debian
<br>platform. For now, this means only traditional scripts are handled;
<br>Upstart jobs are ignored and the stb won't conflict with them
<br> - Don't daemonize on start by default; this fixes problems with D-Bus
<br>activation
<br> - When starting external programs, call system() with argument as an
<br>arrays to avoid the shell messing with them. This notably fixes problems
<br>when users' Real Name field contains apostrophes (Bug 519273).
<br> - Automatically set invalid service priorities to a default value of
<br>50, instead of committing wrong data. This allows GUIs not to worry
<br>about this implementation detail if they don't mind.
<br> - Remove useless versioning for Debian platform. All platforms should
<br>probably do the same to get things cleaner and less bug-prone.

<br>-----------------------------------------------
<br><br>Liboobs version 2.22.2 "Where's Waldo?" has been released.
<br><br>Liboobs is a lightweight library that provides a GObject based interface
<br>to system-tools-backends. It's completely abstracted of the
<br>communication and authentication details, making it easy for
<br>applications to integrate with the system details.
<br><br>Changes since last release
<br>==========================
<br><br>- Print error from D-Bus in case of failure on start. This should
<br>greatly help debugging.
<br>- Don't consider empty user password as invalid.
<br>- Make gtk-doc code documentation use inlined section comments, so that
<br>it is updated on every change. This will ensure the documentation does
<br>not get outdated again.

<br><br>IIRC, NetworkManager only handles connexions marked as auto (or not
<br>listed at all, should check that somewhere) in /etc/network/interfaces.
<br>In network-amin (gst tool started from System->Administration->Network),
<br>you can see that those connexions are in "Itinerant mode", which merely
<br>means that NetworkManager takes care of them, and that other tools (the
<br>gst, but also Debian-specific tools like ifup). If you want to configure
<br>an interface (with static IP or even with DHCP) from network-admin, or
<br>use it from ifup/ifdown tools, you'll stop NetworkManager from using it.
<br>Just check that by playing with the check box and the nm-applet list of
<br>devices.
<br><br>So there's no race condition at all, and hopefully the coexistence is
<br>very limited. But why are you interested in this? I wouldn't advise you
<br>to work with network-admin to manage your connexions at this point,
<br>since in more recent versions NetworkManager has much improved. Now,
<br>connexions are no longer handled by network-admin by default, and I
<br>don't plan fixing bugs in that tool any more.
<br><br><br>Cheers

<br><br>I'm just trying to get my head around how the network device is managed between
<br>GST, liboobs, NetworkManager, and dhcdbd. I'm currently working with Ubuntu
<br>8.04, so the software versions I'm dealing with are a little bit old at this
<br>point.
<br><br>I've been looking at the source for each of these components. It looks like NM
<br>handles the device for DHCP configurations only. Otherwise, GST configures the
<br>device via liboobs and then does a sleep/wake cycle with NM so that it sees that
<br>things have changed.
<br><br>However, I can't see how this approach wouldn't be vulnerable to race
<br>conditions. If NM is currently managing the interface, and I switch it to a
<br>static config, it seems like dhclient might change the config after the static
<br>config is applied but before NM is cycled (which I assume would cause dhclient
<br>to be killed via dhcdbd).
<br><br>Is this as racy as it seems it is?
<br><br>Thanks,
<br>Forest

<br><br><br><br>GNOME System Tools Version 2.27.3, 2009-08-20
<br>-----------------------------------------------
<br><br>The GNOME System Tools version 2.27.3 have been released.
<br><br>The GNOME System Tools are a set of cross-platform configuration
<br>utilities for Linux and other Unix systems. The frontends know nothing
<br>about the underlying system and provide the same user interface across
<br>the different types of systems. Internally they use the Liboobs library.
<br><br>Changes since last release
<br>==========================
<br><br> General
<br> =======
<br> - Port to PolicyKit1. This bumps the dependency on the
<br>system-tools-backends to 2.8. We now depend on libpolkit-gtk-1 instead
<br>of PolicyKit itself. (Milan Bouchet-Valat)
<br> - Fix compiler warnings with printf()s (Robert Ancell)
<br> - Don't mark for translation filesystem path strings (Claude Paroz)
<br> - Add groups and services used by PLD (Patryk Zawadzki)
<br> - Always report detailed errors when committing configuration changes
<br>(Milan Bouchet-Valat)
<br><br> Services
<br> ========
<br> - Support Gentoo services management (Jeremy Guitton)
<br><br> Users
<br> =====
<br> - Fix user profiles combo by creating its model (removes warnings and
<br>makes it work!) (Milan Bouchet-Valat)
<br> - Fix showing profiles and groups in user settings (Milan
<br>Bouchet-Valat)
<br> - Various fixes with regard to authorizations and widget's sensitivity
<br>(Milan Bouchet-Valat)
<br> - Fix warnings about GtkAdjustment page-size property (Milan
<br>Bouchet-Valat)

<br><br><br>I've just committed a patch that ports the gnome-system-tools to
<br>PolicyKit1. This new version of PolicyKit is the new blessed external
<br>dependency; it will be widely used in GNOME 2.28 and is much cleaner to
<br>use (it allowed me to remove much code from our tools).
<br><br>To be consistent with the rest of the desktop, I'd like that change to
<br>go into 2.28, which is only two beta releases away. So I'm making a call
<br>for testers! The gnome-system-tools 2.27.3 should be released this week,
<br>and be shipped with GNOME 2.27.91 on the August 24th. Hopefully,
<br>distributions will ship them even before that in their development
<br>versions, which will make it easy to test in a fully working
<br>environment.
<br><br>Don't hesitate to report bugs, I'll try to address them as fast as
<br>possible. In the event of a major breakage of the g-s-t, I'll revert
<br>that change for the release candidate on September 7th. Thanks for your
<br>contribution!

<br>-----------------------------------------------
<br><br>The System Tools Backends version 2.8 "Greetings from Marienham" have
<br>been released.
<br><br>The System Tools Backends are a set of cross-platform modules for Linux,
<br>FreeBSD, Solaris and other Unix systems. The backends provide an common
<br>DBus interface to all distros for modifying or reading the system
<br>configuration.
<br><br>Right now the System Tools Backends fully support various distros/OS
<br>such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian (and derivations like
<br>Ubuntu, Linex, Guadalinex...), FreeBSD, Solaris, Gentoo, Slackware,
<br>OpenNA, PLD, Vine and Specifix.
<br><br>Changes since last release
<br>==========================
<br><br> - Port to PolicyKit1. This change breaks compatibility with clients
<br>that don't support it, namely the gnome-system-tools < 2.28. (Milan
<br>Bouchet-Valat)
<br> - Fix D-Bus and PolicyKit policy files (Milan Bouchet-Valat, Simon
<br>McVittie, Josselin Mouette and Colin Walters)
<br> - Move the s-t-b executable to sbindir (Vladimir Lettiev)
<br> - Remove stale PID file when terminating (Chris Coulson)
<br> - Copy timezone to /etc/localtime instead of symlinking. Packaging
<br>tools should take care of updating themselves that file when they update
<br>the timezone data. (Steve Langasek)
<br> - Fix Gentoo support in several ways (Jeremy Guitton)
<br> - Fix translation files being installed with broken name (Götz
<br>Waschk)
<br> - Fix failure in time-admin when looking up "Europe/Helsinki" as
<br>time zone value (Michael Terry)

<br><br>Liboobs is a lightweight library that provides a GObject based interface

<br>1/25/2009
<br>By David Duke
<br><br>Judas Goat\ A goat that leads other goats or sheep to slaughter. Also, one who entices into danger and betrays others. The name is an allusion to Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of slaughter. (From Merriam Websters Dictionary)
<br><br>Barack Hussein Obama is a Judas Goat.
<br><br>Extremist Jews guided Barack Hussein Obamas career from day one, even all the way back to Harvard Law School. Radical Zionist hitman, David Axelrod previously orchestrated the Jewish-financed and organized defeat of perceived anti-Zionist Sen. Charles Percy. He is the man who ran Obamas campaign for President and who is his chief handler. Obamas campaign was overwhelmingly financed by the most powerful Zionist bankers in the world. His campaigns largest contribution source was the Zionist international banking firm of Goldman Sachs. (FEC campaign records). In both Obamas Senate and Presidential campaign he prostrated himself before AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) promising even more money and blood for Israels terrorism than even the supine John McCain, and even more money and blood than the previous Shabbez Goy in the White House, George Bush. Before the Israeli terrorism and mass murder in Gaza, he went to Israel and said that he supported Israels p
<br> lanned murderous terrorism against the men, women and children of Gaza.
<br><br>His first act as President-elect was to appoint a rabid Zionist, Israeli dual citizen who served in the Israeli Army as his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel. As thousands of women and children in Gaza were killed or maimed, Obama remained silent. Within a few days as President Obama supported indiscriminate American missile strikes in villages of our ally Pakistan, a clear continuation of Bushs policies. He completely supports the theft of trillions of American taxpayer dollars to the Zionist international bankers. Eighty percent of American Jews voted for Obama, and all the main leaders of the Jewish Supremacist state of Israel have proclaimed Obama as the perfect man for U.S. President.
<br><br>What better for the Zionists to have their own servant perceived as a clean break from the Jewish extremist-controlled Bush administration? What better than for the Zionists than to have their Shabbez Goy be treated by the worlds press and even by much of the anti-Zionist community as a man of real change? What better for the Zionists than for the world to think that Obama will be a change from the Zionist-controlled policies when he willing to do anything that Israel demands? What better for the Zionist murderers to have their craven puppet be looked at by the whole world as a man of honor and integrity and fairness.
<br><br>In the slaughterhouse, the Judas Goat is often painted with bright colors, adorned with strong, sweet scents to lure the sheep to their pens and to their death. Obama, the Judas Goat of our time, is looked upon by millions of Zionist-propagandized sheep as the man who will lead them to salvation.
<br><br>Instead, he leads America, Palestine and the world to the bloody altar of Jewish Supremacism.
<br><br>Any supposed anti-Zionist who praises Barack Obama is actually aiding this Judas Goat to lead us all to slaughter. Every person who truly opposes Jewish extremism must speak out and expose the Judas Goat named Barack Obama!

<br><br>It is up to you the people of the United States who can still think freely, and up to all of the people of the world who are able to see through the deceptions of the Zionist-influenced Global media -- to get this simple, powerful message to everyone on earth. Email this message to your friends, post it on forums and websites and put links to it on every website, facebook or other media in the world. Go and seek out media and Internet sites not controlled by Zionist power. Make youtube videos of this message, (use the short audio and find good illustrative pictures) and post it untill your fingers are worn and tired, print it and mail it to newspapers or any media outlet that has still not fallen under the propaganda of the Zionists. Let the world know the truth. Person by person, in the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, japan, Russia, China, Africa, Palestine, South America and across the whole world this Judas Goat must be exposed for what he is, so that when begin
<br> s to do his evil for Israel, the whole world will know exactly what is going on and resist!

<br><br>Why is the President of Israel, the terrorist who just oversaw the Zionist mass murder and maiming of thousands of Palestinians so happy
<br>that Obama is President of the USA?
<br>by David Duke
<br><br><br>Read the excerpt from the Israeli News about how President Perez and Israel think that Obamas becoming U.S. President is great day
<br>for Israel.
<br><br>"Israels President Shimon Peres ecstatic over the election of Obama"
<br>Ronen Medzini Israel News Jan. 21
<br><br>Today is a great day not only for the United States of America, but for the entire world, President Shimon Peres wrote in a letter
<br>addressed to Barack Obama on the day of his inauguration as president of the United States.
<br><br>Obama was elected by the United States, but as a matter of fact, he was chosen by the whole of humankind,
<br><br>Why is Peres so ecstatic?
<br><br>Why shouldnt he be, he knows that Obama is completely in the grip of the extremist Jewish Zionists in America, and he knows that the
<br>greater Obamas popularity and idol worship, the more Obama can do for the International Zionist Cause.
<br><br>Any thinking and caring human being who realizes that the Zionist-controlled American foreign policy has been a disaster for the robbed
<br>and murdered people of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and a catastrophe for the 50,000 American wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well
<br>as an economic catastrophe for the hardworking Americans who pay trillions to finance these wars for Israel -- must wake up the fact that
<br>supporting Obama and increasing his popularity will only aid Zionist terrorism, war, and their murder and oppression of the Palestinians. It
<br>will also hasten the economic suffering of billions of people around the world as his popularity enables him to more easily aid the Zionist
<br>International Bankers steal the wealth of the United States, Europe and the world. Obama is totally in the bloodstained and green ink-
<br>stained hands of the Zionists. The hard truth is that the more good will and support Obama has also gives more power to support the
<br>Zionist agenda!
<br><br>Mark my words. The Obama Presidency will be disaster for America and for the world.
<br><br>Obama was put into office by the Zionists. His top two cohorts for years have been the radical Jews David Axelrod and Rahm
<br>Emmanuel. Both have long records of radical Zionism and have been attack dogs against anyone perceived as having the slightest
<br>opposition to Israel. One such victim was Sen. Charles Percy, who both men worked to defeat and destroy because he dared to only be
<br>99 percent rather than 100 percent pro-Israel. Rahm Emmanuel, a dual citizen of Israel who went to fight for Israel, he has a long
<br>pedigree of Jewish extremism. His father served in the Irgun Terrorist Gang and he himself is named after an Irgun terrorist.
<br><br>Zionist leaders in Chicago actually call Obama the first Jewish President and boast that Jews were key players in Obamas every step
<br>up the ladder to President.
<br><br>from the very earliest days, extremist Jews were the largest contributors to his campaign. In the beginning of his Presidential bid, three
<br>Hollywood Jews that constantly make movies about Jewish suffering, but never about the Zionist terrorism and theft against the
<br>Palestinian people, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg raised 1.2 million for Obama in a single Hollywood party.
<br><br>By the time Obamas campaign was in full swing, he had huge support from the criminal Zionist International Banking firms such as
<br>Goldman Sachs and Lehman brothers. Goldman Sachs was Obamas biggest single contributor, and his vast war chest came not from
<br>American manufacturing firms like GM or even American oil companies, (not one was in his top twenty) it was overwhelmingly dominated
<br>by Zionist international bankers, the same ones whose thievery and fraud are giving the world this economic depression.
<br><br>For those looking for meaningful social and political change, do you really think it will come from this man who has already been bought
<br>heart, head and soul by the most powerful czars of the international financial establishment and the biggest globalists in the world?
<br><br>I know that many are desperate for change, so desperate that you want to believe anything. But in the face of these facts cant you see
<br>that Obama will be even more dangerous to freedom and justice than even George Bush and his band of Neocons were. What better
<br>way to wipe out George Bushs hated legacy and make the world believe that America has really changed than with the election of
<br>Obama. But, all the real Zionist power, Zionist media power, and Zionist financial power in America is still in place, even stronger than
<br>ever.
<br><br>Many Americans and others around the world who want to do good are now telling us how wonderful Obama will be as president. What
<br>a great change it will be from the old policies. This is because of the Zionist-Controlled media hype, promoting Obama. The fact is that
<br>these poor sods are ignorantly helping the radical Zionist agenda in Israel and around the world.
<br><br>Every day that you dont help expose Obama for the Zionist servant that he actually is, his popularity will be a greater danger to peace
<br>and freedom.
<br><br>If the Zionist terrorist Shimon Perez is happy about the coronation of Obama, then why in the hell should you be?

We are currently trying to
<br>expanded Myah OS by adding a fully supported gnome desktop. But I can
<br>not seem to overcome the current problem with gnome system tools.
<br><br>If I try to launch any of the Gnome System tools I get this "The
<br>configuration could not be loaded" and "You are not allowed to access
<br>the system configuration." And from the command line sometimes I am
<br>able to see this "Unsupported tag for GtkWidget: atkproperty" when
<br>trying to launch the Time & Date system tool.
<br><br>This is a Gnome 2.22.1 system, system-tools-backends-2.6.0,
<br>gnome-system-tools-2.22.0
<br><br>Myah OS is NOT a Debian clone like Ubuntu so there distro specific
<br>settings do not apply here.
<br><br>These errors occurs no matter what user I am in. So it's nothing to do
<br>with using sudo or gksu or something like that. I am running as root
<br>currently and it's the same error. I have my own msudo program that
<br>will handle launching these in underprivileged users.
<br><br>I am using
<br>dbus-glib-0.74
<br>dbus-python-0.82.4
<br>dbus-1.2.1
<br>net-dbus-0.33.6
<br>hal-0.5.10
<br>built without polkit.
<br><br>I read that the group stb-admin is required so I added that group and
<br>added my users to it and this seemed to have no affect at all.
<br><br>I noticed that gnome really doesn't spit out helpfull error messages.
<br>Is there some way I can trace the problem down smartly.

Are you using Glade 2? There are so
<br>many differences only adding a single checkbox, I guess this may be
<br>because I saved the file with Glade 3. So I don't post this file here,
<br>I'll try again with the version 2 if you confirm.
<br><br>I had to move find_group_in_profile from privileges-table.c to
<br>user-profiles.c in order to avoid code duplication. If this is a problem
<br>I can simply copy 6 lines of code inline and revert this.
<br><br>Another point is oobs_group_new (): is this function creating a new
<br>OobsGroup referring to an already existing *system* group, or is it mean
<br>to create a new system group? (see what I did in the code)
<br><br>Attached is the same diff, if you prefer. Questions, comments and
<br>criticisms are welcome!
<br><br>Cheers

<br>> auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup <group>
</div>Thank you very much, I guess we have all we need now.
<br><br>So the plan can be:
<br>- add a way to set users members of a group called "nopasslogin" or something nicer (ideas?)
<br>- add a key in the gconf schemes so that distributions can enable or disable this feature when theyr want
<br>- create templates for pam.d file of gnome-screensaver and gdm
<br><br>Some questions:
<br>- Using the current framework/tab called Privileges to add or remove users from that group is almost instant. However, login without password is not really a privilege. Is it worth adding a checkbox in the first tab that would do the same task (using hopefully the same code)? It would be easier to set up and more logical (who will go to Privileges to remove the need of a password?)
<br>- Are the pam.d files only provided by distributors or are there templates in GNOME (which I did no find in SVN)?
<br><br>Any other problems? Else I'll start looking into a (rather little) patch.
<br><br>[Next message we can maybe remove the CC to gdm-list, much noise for something external. Readers, please follow... ;-)]

<br><br>This feature is intended to allow users that an administrator chooses to
<br>skip the password check when logging locally from GDM (graphical login)
<br>or the screensaver. Then, anybody who's already a physical access to the
<br>desktop will be able to get to the account of this user, be him
<br>unpriviledged or admin.
<br><br>But then a potential attacker cannot go further: even if the user is an
<br>admin, sudo, gksudo and PolicyKit will require him to enter his password
<br>to perform any admin task. This is how this feature is different from
<br>the weak protection that Windows allows. The only thing you can access
<br>with password-less connection is the user files. And this is only
<br>possible on a local approach: remotely, you can still use ssh securely
<br>and without any hole, using your password.
<br><br><br>I hope this solves your concerns

<br>Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 18:07:32 +0200
<br><br>I've just read the answer Martin got last time he raised this issue.
<br>Obviously distro-specific PAM will be a problem - but what would be nice
<br>is that a distribution wanting to enable this feature can do this
<br>easily. For this we would need mostly a GUI, since PAM files are anyway
<br>written by the distros.
<br><br>After thinking a little more, I though that maybe it would be more
<br>logical and easier to add a checkbox in the users profiles in
<br>users-admin (from gnome-system-tools) allowing to skip password check in
<br>GDM/gnome-screensaver. This option would just write the username to a
<br>file (/etc/gdm-nopasswd.list, /etc/nopasswd.list or so...).
<br>Distributions would have to choose between updating pam.d conf files
<br>accordingly so that this is working, or disabling/hiding this feature
<br>(via a GConf key for example).
<br><br>Adding this in GDM would require more work and an extended interface,
<br>and moreover the per-user approach may be more friendly than configuring
<br>the login screen (system-wide).
<br><br>Any comments/criticisms? I'm contacting the g-s-t team to hear what they
<br>think of it, and I CC the gdm-list.

<br><br>Check out bug :

<br>what is shown on
<br>the entire gnome menu.
<br><br>It's a simple enough principle using two GConf keys, all is explained in
