Yep, the logout.desktop file is at 644 and the settings.menu file matches yours exactly. I do have an Applications > Other folder, but it has all KDE applications in it (I have both desktop environments running on here).

I wonder if I’m missing something from the out of box RHEL 6 release.

The only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head is the permissions on the /usr/share/applications/logout.desktop file. That has to be readable by your target users. If that file is mode 600, it will only show up in the menus if you are logged in as root (assuming it was created by root). Following my instructions should cause a new menu item named “Other” to appear under “Applications”, and that’s probably not there by default. It will only show up if the target user can read that logout.desktop file. If they can’t read it, then the Applications –> Other menu might not be there at all or at least “Log Out” won’t be there. So the first thing I would check is if it appears under that menu location after doing “chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/logout.desktop”. If it does, but does not appear under the “System” menu, then there is an issue with the edit to the /etc/xdg/menus/settings.menu file itself. We’re using these settings on the latest Red Hat 6 Workstation release, so they should work.

I tried the steps above on my RHEL 6 image, but I can’t get the new ‘Log Off’ option to show up anywhere in the ‘System’ menu. Any ideas?

Nice. I like the use of –apply-schema there as well.

Here is a simple script that worked for me as well: http://wiki.blagblagblag.org/Gconf

Thank you so much for this blog post. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure this out, and you lay it all out on a silver platter.

Very much appreciated.

Comment on identd for Mac OS X by Shaun Rowland

I updated the package with a version that fully supports IPv6. The code that figures out the UID associated with the ports already did, but it was not listening with IPv6. I’ve fixed that. I also fixed a problem where malformed input would cause it to stop responding.

It does not support IPv6. I just quickly wrote it. I believe there’s also a problem if something is already listening on port 113, but normally there would be nothing listening there to start with. I need to address that specifically. I didn’t really have plans on making it work for IPv6, but that might not be too hard. When I get some time, I’ll try to look into it.

Thanks for creating this service for OS X. I’ve confirmed that it works on OS X Lion for IPv4, but can’t seem to get it to respond on my IPv6 address.

Is IPv6 supported?

Thanks,
