Can I launch a process as root without launching root's login shell? if @qdii suggestion works (i.e. that su -c "<commands>" )work... could we not then simply use su -c "/bin/bash" to get to a working bash with user root? |

Automated ssh-keygen without passphrase, how? thank you for the contribution. the expect seems even a more versatile for problems in the same kind.... well those where scripting and user-interaction would conflict. I will be aware of the potential conflicht that /tmp/sshkey already exists and check for it prior to using your command. |

find in /sys/class does not show everything, why? yes indeed, as already laid out in the comments by Celada and myself symbolic links have been the reason. Though not personally of additional use your answer can be of value for all the people who will hence have a Question and an Answer. I will accept it surely. Thank you! |

find in /sys/class does not show everything, why? @RahulPatil Pardon me, but I think the question is both solved -by the comment from Celeda (which as an answer I would have accepted)- amd -explained I wanted to know what causes find not to show everything in the directory which ls would... (the reason was symbolic links) I appreciate your input Rahul, but I am really uncertain there is really something I can still improve. Maybe Celade will be good enought to write his assumption for the "suspected missbehaviour" as an answer I can except? well, Rahul pls give me feedback |

find in /sys/class does not show everything, why? since I mindelessly overlooked to check if it is symbolic links I cast my find on I have not received the result. A solution hence was to use find /sys/class/hwmon -follow -maxdepth 3 |

Is it a good practice to have different users for different contexts? can you define what "separate (as much as possible)" means to you a little more? Ubuntu quite often a sudo somehting is tossed around which by granting root access will always infridge separations easily. Separate (in terms of tidyness) users are ok. in terms of safety it might not be so easy I fear. What do you mean by separate? |

Can a linux user change their password without knowing the current password? @Miro. It is as you say. Still a sudo bash could be passwordless given that setup so in the /etc/sudoers file. I think @jrg is as said more focusing on the insecurity issue with sudo here |

Can a linux user change their password without knowing the current password? Why do you want your users to have sudo priveleges? I hope you are aware that you give away a root access by this. There might be a chance here to invest some time and allow only a subset of commands to be used in connection with sudo (which would be maybe less insecure). Go man sudoers will yield info about having certain commands being able to run with sudo without user password necessary at all. You can even add a shellscript to /etc/sudoers which would allow a per user "self-password" setting without the need of a prior password. |

Installing GRUB from scratch It would seem to me that you must have "running system" in which you compiled your kernel on, true? Where have you compiled your kernel on and how did the kernel end up on the CF-Card from there? These infos could clarify what can be the best way to get GRUB on the CF-Card also. |

Are SUSE servers intended to be used graphically? interesting! Do you @Wutaz consider a Server to be setup by people that are "scared away" by "Command-ine tools"? Imho there is a point to fear such server administrators lack the skill and will cause insecure and poor setups. is GUI for admins is the best use case scenario? Also consider implied insecurity of X applications |

Are there any GUI's for Linux that doesn't use X11? What about the security aspect of the question? Can you tell if directFB is better security wise? i.e. that one graphical application cannot capture (keylog) the input of other applicatoins? |
