[CentOS] RDP for Centos 7

2017-06-21 Thread me

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good program for doing RDP to windows servers on C-7?

The "Remote desktop viewer" program that comes with C7 is not reliable for me.
I frequently have multiple long running RDP sessions and the keyboard
will stop responding. The only way I can find to get it started again is to
restart the program and login to the servers again.

In addition, I cannot find a way to make copy and paste work.

On the plus side, I like the way Remote desktop viewer displays the desktops
in tabs.

Suggestions?

Regards,

KRDC?  I'm pretty sure KRDC works fine in C7.  (Though, I never use 
CentOS as a desktop, so YMMV.)

Remmina is the one I use but I have not looked to see if Centos is

I used rdesktop on CentOS and on maemo (which is clone of clone of Debian)
handheld for quite some time, and it is still available on CentOS 7 (via
either base or epel yum repository) - I just checked and it works on
CentOS 7 the same way as it did on earlier CentOS systems.

I hope, this helps.

I'll second this - it's what I use on my C7 workstation to access the
couple of WinDoze servers. Under C6, I was using rdesktop, then found
xfreedp, and changed. One thing that annoyed me, at least under 6, was
that after I logged off the Windoze box, one of my 8 xterms, randomly,
would crash. NOT  the one I started rdesktop from, but another.

[CentOS] why would ls, while or ci use NIS?

2017-06-21 Thread Dave Burns
I have an entry in root's crontab:

#ls -1 /etc/RCS|sed "s~\(.*\),v~\1~"|while read file; do ls -la
/etc/$file|ci -q -l /etc/$file ;done

Error output I received:
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = No route to host
YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound

This looks like NIS (DNS?) error output, but what could be invoking
anything that uses NIS or DNS in that command? ls, ci, and while don't need
it unless they are applied to some NFS mounted file, but this is executed
as root with a *local* home directory on *local* files, no need for YP. The
only hypotheses I can think of are "my copies of bash or ci have been
compromised" or "I am stupid".

Enlighten me, please.

There were problems with all the Fedora repo mirrors today, including
Fedora EPEL.  A 'yum clean metadata' should fix it for EPEL, it has
been reported to have been fixed.

Do you have any 'nis' entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf for passwd or
group?  It might be using NIS to try to look up user/group information
on files that have uid/gid numbers that aren't in the local
passwd/group files.

Re: [CentOS] why would ls, while or ci use NIS?

2017-06-21 Thread Gordon Messmer
If you have NIS configured, it'll be used by anything that needs to map 
a uid or gid number to a name, or anything that needs a list of groups 
for users, among other things.


That means (IIRC) that having a crontab implies a NIS lookup, because 
creating a new session for your user needs to fetch supplementary groups 
from NIS (even for root).


'ls -l' might also do lookups to resolve the uid/gid of your local 
files.  "local files" does not imply that there is no need for YP.
