Install pakege in suse linux by zyper (error -'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' )

First make certain that openSUSE is up-to-date

Code: Select all Expand view
zypper update


Then install all packages needed to compile external modules.

Code: Select all Expand view
sudo zypper install gcc make automake autoconf kernel-source kernel-syms


Then install VirtualBox again and it should work after a reboot. Make sure that your user name in in the vboxusers group as well.

Oracle password profile.

credit to Scott Stephens

CREATE PROFILE myprofile LIMIT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS 5 PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME 1;Users assigned to this profile will be locked out of theiraccounts after five login attempts with an incorrect password. The account willbe inaccessible for one day or until a DBA issues this command:

ALTER USER ACCOUNT UNLOCK.Even after several years, I've found that my old passwordstill works on previous projects. This makes a good case for placing a limit ona password's lifetime so it will expire after a certain period (e.g., at theend of a contract). There's also an option to allow a specific grace period,which is useful for projects that aren't used very often. If the user doesn'tlog in until after the password expires, the user can still connect, but awarning will display until the grace period expires. Use the PASSWORD_LIFE_TIMEand PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME tags on a profile to enable these features.

ALTER PROFILE myprofile LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME 30 PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME 3;Users assigned to that profile will be locked out of theiraccounts 30 days after the last time the password is changed. After 30 days,attempting to log in will result in warning messages for three more days beforethe account is locked.

Many users will see these limits and simply try to resettheir passwords to what they were previously using rather than using a newpassword each time. You can prevent users from reusing a password with thePASSWORD_REUSE_TIME and PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX tags.

ALTER PROFILE myprofile LIMIT PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME 30 PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX 100;Users with this profile will not be able to reuse a passwordfor 30 days, or until after they change the password 100 times.

Finally, some users will use passwords that are easy toguess. It's possible to restrict a password's format (such as checking for aminimum width, letters, numbers, or mixed case, or verifying that the passwordisn't a variation of the username) by creating a PL/SQL procedure thatvalidates passwords. You must format the procedure like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION verify_password( useridvarchar(30), password varchar(30), old_passwordvarchar(30)) RETURN BOOLEAN…You can assign this function (which can be any name, but itmust be owned by the SYS account) with the following:

ALTER PROFILE myprofile LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION verify_password;

Delete Files Older Than x Days on Linux

The find utility on linux allows you to pass in a bunch of interesting arguments, including one to execute another command on each file. We’ll use this in order to figure out what files are older than a certain number of days, and then use the rm command to delete them.

Command Syntax

find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;

Note that there are spaces between rm, {}, and \;

Explanation

• The first argument is the path to the files. This can be a path, a directory, or a wild card as in the example above. I would recommend using the full path, and make sure that you run the command without the exec rm to make sure you are getting the right results.
• The second argument, -mtime, is used to specify the number of days old that the file is. If you enter +5, it will find files older than 5 days.
• The third argument, -exec, allows you to pass in a command such as rm. The {} \; at the end is required to end the command.

This should work on Ubuntu, Suse, Redhat, or pretty much any version of linux.
