I'm on Linux Mint 18. I'm writing a program which temporarily removes the current admin user from the sudo group. The intention is to use this program in conjunction with others to be able to precommit to certain actions, such as blocking some websites.



The program currently functions for any new terminal windows I open after removing the current user from the sudo group. However, I am still able to access the "Software Manager" GUI, and the "Users and Groups" GUI interface using my password. These are things which typically need root access. Is there some way of relaying the changes in the sudo group to the session so that I'm not able to access these GUIs?




permissions linux-mint sudo users

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
