The passwd command allows the user to create or change a password. This feature is also helpful if there are multiple users and security is a concern. There is a functionality called password expiration. This will also work great for temporary users or contractual employees. This functionality will require the user to renew or change the password after a preset amount of time. Temporary user accounts can also be set with actual user expiration.

For Red Hat-based Linux system, again use the userconf command (as root), such as this: # userconf &

Navigate to the User dialog box, and click on the Params tab.

Use this tab to indicate the number of days before password must be modified, how long a user account is good for, when the warnings of impending expirations are going to show up, and the amount of time an account or password is good after a warning has been issued.

SuSE Linux administrators can turn to the yast command’s user dialog box. But you must press the F6 key when inputting the user’s name.

Use this dialog box in the same way as you would operate userconf’s controls. When you are done, use the Tab key to highlight the Continue button in order to return to user configuration.

GNOME is a desktop environment that is independent and self-supporting in terms of how it controls interactivity between applications and other features. GNOME works with a variety of window managers. The window manager is what controls the window borders, window decorations, and the functionality of those windows. Currently there are about three or four window managers that are considered GNOME compliant. Being GNOME compliant means much more than simply being able to run with GNOME; it also means being aware of GNOME and want GNOME offers. This includes session management, desktop settings, and interactivity with applications such as GNOME Pager.

The Default Window Manager for this release of Red Hat Linux is a window manager called Enlightenment. Within this manager is a tool that allows configuration.

To launch the Enlightenment configuration tool, you may access the GNOME Control Center and choose the Window Manager Capplet from the Desktop group. If Enlightenment was activated as your window manager, you may run E-conf by clicking the Run Configuration tool for Enlightenment button.

Another way to launch E-conf is by clicking your middle mouse button or both mouse buttons, if you have emulation, on the desktop and choosing the Enlightenment Configuration item from the pop-up menu.

A minimum set of functionality and the mode of implementation was needed to be shared with all Linux compliant platforms. What the LSB specification which was set for linux distributions was set up to define was a common specification for Linux institutions for all the major Linux distributions and applications. THE LSB had the support of all the major distribution makers.

What the LSB did not do what to define how the semantics of installation and additional functionality should have been delivered and then provide a framework as how additional functionality was to be planned for and delivered . It was to provide a complete customer orientated solution. If Linux was to serve the mainstream business and corporate business client it had to have a solid foundation to be built upon which specifically tailored solutions , for either specific industries , applications or clients could be developed upon.

It had to be solid , substantial and rock solid whatever programs and applications were to devised and developed.

If this sounded very familiar , it is because this point had been reached in Linux to some degrees. At the heart of the United Linux project as well as other Linux distro projects was the Linux Standard Base (LSB) which was set up to define common specifications for Linux distributions ( Linux distros) and Linux application programs. The LSB had the support of all the major Linux makers. Its stated aim was to develop and promote a set of standards that would promote compatibility among Linux distributions and enable the software applications to run on any compliant Linux systems. The stage was set for a major computer OS software platform for functionality and some standardizations.

This was a fairly big overlap , for the United Linux project, but it went a lot further. The LSB specification covered the Linux application programming interface with a view to allowing software and project developers to create applications that could well be deployed across all LSB compliant operating system platforms.
