By default, gnome-terminal does not spawn a login shell. To use a login shell for all gnome-terminal windows for a particular user in gnome-terminal, you can use gnome-terminal preferences dialog:
"Edit" -> "Current Profile" -> "Title and Command" and select "Run command as a login shell"
Alternatively, using the command line tool "gconftool-2" will achieve the same result:
# gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/login_shell true
To set this as a default option for all users, use gconftool-2 to set the default value of the key "login_shell" to "true" in the GConf database. As root, run the following command:
# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type boolean --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/login_shell true
Users will still be able to change that default value on a per user basis using the preference dialog in gnome-terminal. » Read more

And we still have a few more news items and blog entries about the Summit:
We’re still collecting all the news, updates, and postings from the Red Hat Summit. Now that our teams are back in the office, the real work of compiling all the video, audio, and materials we gathered has begun.
We know you’re all clamoring for more than links–the most popular question has been about the session and keynote videos and slide decks. The first few keynote videos are up at the Summit web site. We’ll be adding more as soon as some legal and liscensing issues are dealt with.
The slide decks are also on their way. The first few should be available this week, with more to follow.
And it won’t all be recap–also coming up are several articles that follow up on Summit and FUDCon topics, from the same folks that presented them in Boston. » Read more

With this announcement at the Summit, Red Hat® Network® enters a new, more open era. We caught up with Mike McCune from the RHN team, and he sent us this quick run-down of the new release and the project’s decision to go open source.
Responsible for 1,000 systems? One hundred systems? Ten? If so, you likely have processes in place for maintaining these systems, if only to preserve your sanity! Perhaps you have custom ssh scripts to command the systems remotely, or maybe you have your own yum repositories to maintain software patches critical to your systems. If the burden of maintaining these systems causes you a headache or your needs go beyond the methods you use today, Red Hat has tools available to make your life as a system administrator easier. » Read more
