A faster way to recover the root password for RHCSA test takers (self.redhat)
submitted 1 month ago * by interpleader
I recently bumped into this method of recovering the root password while drilling tasks for the RHCSA exam. No selinux autorelabel or restorecon is necessary with this method. No chrooting in, either. You can read more about debug-shell here.
tl;dr: systemd.debug-shell=1, Control-Alt-F9, passwd, systemctl stop debug-shell
At grub, select the menu entry you want to edit, press e to edit it, goto the end of the line that starts with "linux" and then type in systemd.debug-shell=1. Press Control-x to boot with your new settings applied.
You'll then boot into default.target. Press Control-Alt-F9 to switch to TTY9 which will have an already logged in root shell.
Use passwd to change your root password.
Stop the shell on TTY9 with systemctl stop debug-shell. Otherwise you'll have a root session wide open for anyone with keyboard access.
Press Control-Alt-F1 to switch back to TTY1 and login as your regular user.
Hopefully this will help out other future test takers who are worried about time pressure. :)

Remember when all you had to do was append the integer 1 or the string single to a GRUB menu entry's kernel line? I do!
[–]kirbyfan64sos 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
That's still pretty easy, in fact that still works or you use systemd.unit=emergency.target.
[–]faxattack 7 points8 points9 points 1 month ago (16 children)
Just type in rd.break in grub, remount /sysroot as rw and chroot into it and reset password.
[–]Arsenicks 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Your method doesn't feel less complex at all.. Still interesting to know it can be done that way!
[–]virtualdxs 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (6 children)
Even that's harder than it needs to be. Add init=/bin/bash to cmdline, remount / -oremount,rw , passwd. No chroot needed.
[–]someguytwo 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (5 children)
Why remount when you can change ro to rw on the grub entry?
[–]Savanna_INFINITY 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
It's straight out of the book, thats why I think.
[–]bearassbobcat 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child)
is that on the vmlinuz line? I've never done it this way but it sounds useful.
[–]someguytwo 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
On the same line with init.
[–]interpleader[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child)
Nice, I didn't think of that. I was never really sure what a lot of these kernel cmdline options do before looking it up just now.
That is what I love about Linux: how seemingly arcane lore can easily become understandable.
[–]-markusb- 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
I would relabel at least /etc/shadow. SELinux is activated.
[–]interpleader[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago * (3 children)
Most of the complexity is due to the assumptions I'm making.
You're taking the RHCSA exam.
SELinux will be on and set to enforcing mode for all guest VMs.
You won't have access to tools outside of the VM for password recovery.
You have less than five minutes to reset the password.
But I don't think it's really that bad. All the steps in my tl;dr fit into one line.
You'd have to add a step to relabel /etc/shadow or it will become inaccessible once the SELinux policy is loaded. I followed your instructions without alteration to see what would happen, and the screen just hangs as systemd tries to get permission to read fstab and set up cgroups. Works fine in situations where SELinux isn't enforcing, though.
[–]SouthTriceJack 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (2 children)
Why only 5 minutes? I'm very new to linux and figured studying for the rhcsa would be a great way to learn it quickly.
It's just an arbitrary time limit I decided to train for on this task. If I can do the easy tasks quickly I'll have more time on the test to solve harder problems.
[–]SouthTriceJack 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
[–]fusterc1uck 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
the ‘original’ way seems more simple to me. iunno if its just cause i learned it this way.
the way you describe takes longer because you have to run the touch /.autorelabel command.

Even if I never actually do the exam this is gonna be mega useful in work!
[–]quesoqueso 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Hey man this is a great tip. I am curious to try this out and tinker with it a bit.
[–]mridlenRed Hat Certified System Administrator 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child)
I already have the much older, slower method completely memorized, and it doesn't really take all that long. But if you are going to memorize something for the test, make sure to memorize the easiest and/or fastest way to do it.
[–]pseudomotaRed Hat Certified System Administrator 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (2 children)
I passed RHCSA a week ago and I was wondering, not truly worried but wondering, how much time I would burn waiting for autorelabel after doing a root password reset. I found that in the exam environment, autorelabel did it's thing WAY faster than it did on my laptop when I was practicing. Not sure if they just have better hardware or if maybe they did some kind of customization in the exam environment to make it go faster. No idea, just speculating.
Even on my laptop when I was practicing I found waiting for a full autorelabel only took a few minutes. I would say people should be fine practicing whatever they think is easier to remember. Imo.
[–]interpleader[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
That's really good to know. Now if I forget this method I can fall back on the traditional approach without being too worried about time.
[–]ihearthaters 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
5:13 to desktop using rd.break vs 1:17 to desktop using your method. Significantly faster. Also, you probably don't need to worry about this
systemctl stop debug-shell
Since, you are going to need reboot to check for persistence anyway, right?
[–]warhammerx01 0 points1 point2 points 23 days ago (0 children)
This is good. I'm just wondering "if ever", given that the scenario would be that this system is already existing and have been managed by a previous administrator(who is no longer connected to the company for whatever reason), there MIGHT be a chance that the previous administrator might have disabled the debug-shell(since, you know, the student guides tell us that best practice is to disable the debug-shell right away).
In the slim chance that the above is the case, certdepot.net has provided an interesting take on this task:
append "rd.break enforcing=0" to the linux kernel parameters
remount the /sysroot as rw
change chroot jail to /sysroot
exit both shells *DO NOT REBOOT\* so that you would be presented with a login shell and login with the new password
restorecon -Rv /etc/
you can now safely reboot
No need to force SELinux relabel
No need to load_policy -i
SELinux is put into a "permissive" mode by using "rd.break enforcing=0"
Hope this helps my fellow RHCSA padawans. XD
[–]thyrsus 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child)
I've recently seen a story about the net effect of the test task being accomplished, but the section being scored low or zero because it wasn't done in the way they wanted. Do we know whether this is an "approved" technique?
[–]nowonmai 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
As far as I am aware the result is what’s important, not the method.

Never have I been to a restaurant and had a roach crawling on the wall next to me while I ate.
It's hard for me to say I'll be back to the place. I've lived here my whole life and used to frequent this establishment when it was the sizzler. I've heard rave reviews about the burgers in this joint so I decided to try it. Don't get me wrong, the burgers were great. Service was okay and the price was fine. But as I sat in my booth with the brown paneling next to me and the wall started moving.... I lost it. I know every restaurant will have the occasional roach or hair in the food, but when it's close enough to tap me on the elbow it grosses me out. I'm invited back by friends every week for breakfast. I hear it's really good. But getting that image out of my head is near impossible.

Down Home Cooking at its best...plus there's pie ;)
As soon as I saw the picture of the pie case, I knew I had to try this place. My husband and I visited Buttermilk a little before noon on a Saturday. We went for the breakfast but ended up getting the chicken fried stead with macaroni and cheese and corn nuggets and a chicken fried chicken sandwich with fries and complimentary broccoli soup. Everything was delicious, especially the rolls and chocolate pie we had for dessert. We liked it so much we will be going back tomorrow for dinner. It is worth noting that although everyone was very friendly, the service is not very fast, so I wouldn't recommend going if you are in a hurry. Otherwise, we highly advise that everyone in the area try out Buttermilk at least once!

We stumbled on Buttermilk Cafe while looking for a good old-fashion breakfast. That's exactly what we got. The omlettes weren't pretty, but it was tasty. The hash browns were nearly perfect with just the right amount of crispness. My son loved his strawberry pancakes. It was a Sunday morning and the staff was busy, but still very friendly and attentive.

Talk:Todd Jones - Wikipedia
Talk:Todd Jones
WikiProject Baseball / College / Red Sox / Reds / Twins / Phillies
During the broadcast of tonight's (4-14-07) Tigers game on FSN Detroit, the announcers mentioned a personal quote of Jones' about people being stressed out by his ninth inning pitching. I think it went something like "if I bother you, get up and go get a drink; come back 10 minutes later and I'll be done". If anyone knows that quote or knows where it might be from, I'd like to get it up here because I think it captures perfectly how people feel about the job he does- he tends to stress people out and yet, at the same time, never seems to fail to get the job done. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.164.132.33 (talk) 01:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/244,727 filed on Oct. 2, 2008, which is a continuation U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/295,577 filed on Apr. 22, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,454,361, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0003] The present invention relates to a system and method for selecting and reserving time slots for an appointment.
[0052] The aforementioned objects and advantages of the present invention as well as additional objects and advantages thereof will be more fully understood hereinafter as a result of a detailed description of a preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the following drawings in which:
[0058] Referring to FIG. 1, it will be seen that the operator of a venue implements the instant invention for purposes of allowing remotely located users to reserve specific seating for specific events 1. By doing so, he initiates those certain actions necessary to display an internet web site to all online users 2. A prospective customer for the venues offering(s) logs onto the internet 3 and acquires the aforesaid internet web site 4 which implements the instant invention. He can be connected to the internet by any conventional means yet this by no means implies that the wide area network must be what is commonly referred to as the “internet.” Upon first contact by the prospective customer, an inquiry is directed to the appropriate database, which may be located concurrent with the primary server hosting the program for the instant invention or may be located remotely, such as at the physical location of the venue, asking for a return of information to the prospective customer of all appropriate information contained therein relative to his inquiry 5. The prospective customer indicates his desired seat or seats through conventional computer input means and directs that information back to the server hosting the code necessary to the implementation of the instant invention 6. Upon contact 7 the server again makes an appropriate database query and returns to the prospective customer all pertinent information relating to his selection, such as which seats are still available for the chosen performance, airline flight, boxing match, etc. The prospective customer is then presented with a representation of all then available seating for his selected venue 8. From this representation, the prospective customer makes his selection of a seat or seats by indicating such through a mouse click, keyboard entry or other means, such as but not limited to a touch screen. Simultaneously, the server, through the coding necessary to implement the instant invention, creates a temporary customer identification 9 that is used to associate this potential customer with this later selection and permit system use by multiple simultaneous users. Once the customer has made his seat selection he is asked for payment information 10. That information is processed through conventional internet or other electronic means and once the information and payment are verified 11 a the customer information, as supplied in 10, is made permanent and the seat or seats he has selected are removed from inventory and blocked from duplicate sale, both graphically when presented to the next prospective customer and in the database where information for accounting and administrative purposes is retained. If the customer's payment information cannot be verified 11 b then he is given an opportunity to correct the information or start over with a new transaction. Upon verification of the customer's payment information he receives a confirmation of the transaction 13 containing all appropriate reference information for his records.
[0059] Referring to FIG. 2, it will be seen that, for example, a user in Houston 13 is planning to vacation in New York and wishes to see a play at a dinner theater there that utilizes the present invention for ticketing and reservations 15. The user in Houston, or in any other location worldwide, connects to the internet in the conventional way and retrieves the appropriate web site through his graphical browser from a server located in, say, Anaheim, Calif. 14. Through implementation of the instant invention the user is able to see the exact seating arrangement of the remote dinner theater and select the exact seat or seats he wants for the performance of his choice. Such additional information as is appropriate can be provided to the remote user to assist him in making an informed decision as to which seat or seats he wishes to occupy for this performance.
[0061] Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4E, one will see the screens presented to a user when he accesses the system and as he progresses through the process of selecting a specific seat or seats, then reserves and pays for them. FIG. 4A is where the first screen presented shows links to available performances for that selected venue 22. FIG. 4B is the second screen 23 and shows a view of the seating available for that venue with seats that have already been taken crossed off with an “X” 24. Our hypothetical user decides that he would like to have his party of four sit at table s1 125 and selects the four seats around that table by clicking on them with his mouse. As he moves his mouse over individual seats the seat number appears in the window at the bottom of his screen 26 and when he clicks on a seat it is added to a running tally of the seats he has already taken 27. Only seats that have not previously been taken show up in the mouse-over window 26. After completing his selections the user clicks on the “Reserve Seats” button and FIG. 4C shows his next screen, which asks him for his payment information 28. He enters the required information and again clicks the “Reserve Seats” button 29.

Historic Ruin Rises to the Challenge
Menokin, National Historic Landmark in Virginia, Awarded $500,000 NEH Challenge Grant
Apr 05, 2019, 12:19 ET
WARSAW, Va., April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Menokin Foundation announced today that the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded them a $500,000 Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant for the Glass House Project. Menokin is one of only 22 cultural institutions in the nation receiving an infrastructure grant.
The 3:1 challenge - which seeks to leverage federal funds against private investment -- requires Menokin to raise $1.5 million over the next four years. These funds will ensure the stabilization of the remaining portions of the 18th century structure as a backdrop for educational programming.
"These new NEH-supported projects will help shore up the nation's most valuable assets: its history, literature, historic sites, regional traditions, and cultural institutions," said NEH Chairman Jon Parrish Peede. "NEH is proud to support the advancement of learning and sharing of knowledge nationwide."
Menokin's Glass House Project, adopted in 2011, completes parts of the collapsed house with walls and a roof of architectural glass supported by a steel armature. The glass house structure will protect what remains of the existing ruin. Traditional restoration methods cover up evidence of the human story that historic structures present. In preserving the remains of this National Historic Landmark in an innovative way, Menokin places the emphasis on the deconstructed architectural elements of the house and the people who built it.
Menokin Executive Director, Sam McKelvey notes, "The NEH grant will have an extraordinary impact on our site and the region as we move this engaging and forward-thinking project into the national spotlight. Through research projects and visitors, Menokin will play an active role in local economic development."
"Early support from the Virginia General Assembly, and a National Park Service 'Save America's Treasures' grant got the ball rolling for Menokin," says Hullie Moore, President of the Menokin Foundation Board of Trustees. "Validation of The Glass House Project and the mission and vision of Menokin by NEH provides a welcome and respected lift to our Raise The Glass capital campaign to save Menokin. We are humbled by the recognition."
Defying the downward trend for visitation to historic sites, Menokin had a 19% increase in visitation in 2018. Continued curiosity about the "glass house" and interest in the stabilization work on the ruin boosts tourism and engages the community in educational and recreational programming.
"This Challenge Grant will allow Menokin to finally do the work of marrying their absolutely unique approach to preservation with thoughtful and resourceful programming," explains Lydia Mattice Brandt, Ph.D. and Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina. "The questions of how and why people make choices and the material evidence of those choices will become more interesting and complicated with a stabilized building to interpret. This structure will attract more funding, visitors, and attention to the relatively isolated site, ensuring its growth and longevity."
About Menokin
Menokin is a National Historic Landmark: the 1769 home of Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Francis Lightfoot Lee and Rebecca Tayloe Lee. The Menokin Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is supported by philanthropic contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations. Menokin's mission is to use the historic ruin and the surrounding built and natural environments to transcend the traditional house museum experience. Menokin uses contemporary methods to create opportunities for the public to contemplate and explore the building of America.
About the Glass House Project
Menokin's Glass House Project is called the "most engaging preservation project in America." Architect Jorge Silvetti developed a unique treatment plan for the existing historic house structure. The architectural firm of Machado Silvetti assembled a multidisciplinary team with impressive expertise, including Robert Silman Associates for structural engineering, Eckersley O'Callaghan for glass design and Consigli Construction for project management. The stabilization portion of the $8.5 million project began in 2015.The plan is not to reconstruct a traditional historic house museum, but instead to create a new paradigm in conservation and heritage management.

A novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins based on immobilization of viral ... - PubMed - NCBI

A novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins based on immobilization of viral glycoproteins in microtiter wells coated with concanavalin A.

Department of Pediatrics, Louisiana State University School of Medicine, New Orleans 70112.
We have developed a novel method that greatly simplifies the preparation of solid-phase HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins for use in an ELISA that detects serum antibodies to HIV envelope antigens. This method utilizes concanavalin A absorbed to wells of microtiter plates to affinity immobilize detergent-solubilized viral glycoproteins released in culture fluids of HIV-1 infected cell lines grown in serum free medium. Antibodies binding to ConA-immobilized viral antigens are detected by peroxidase-conjugated antibodies and appropriate enzyme substrates. Unlike most commercial HIV ELISAs, which utilize gp120 depleted-purified virus as the source of antigens and thus favor detection of antibodies to core antigens, the ConA envELISA is highly sensitive for detecting antibodies to native gp120, as evidenced by the strong reactivity of gp120-specific human monoclonal antibodies. Our results also suggest that representation of gp41 in the assay varies and depends on which virus infected cell lines are used for antigen production. Since this assay accurately identified 14 HIV-1 antibody positive patient sera and no false positives were detected among 16 HIV-1 negative sera, the ConA envELISA shows promise as an inexpensive assay for the serologic diagnosis of HIV infections.
