Recently, I bought the Hypersecu HyperFIDO K5 Key to help me secure access to several websites and services with U2F (“Universal Two-Factor Authorization”).
This works fine and easy on Windows, but with Linux things get a little complicated: The key isn’t accessible to all users by default. This has to be activated using udev rules, which is widely documented on the web, but very often erroneous or outdated. Here’s what I found:
Note to self:
You can export highlighted text (e.g.: SQL code) easily from Notepad++ to RTF and/or HTML using “Plugins” – “NppExport” – “…”. Voilá – there’s highlighted code in your Document, Presentation, Website, a.s.f.!

When you have to troubleshoot blocking locks in your Oracle DB, you might be lucky enough to have a GUI tool handy that helps you with that (e.g. Enterprise Manager or TOAD). Otherwise you’ll likely have to resort to Oracle’s pre-installed script “utllockt.sql”. Unfortunately, this script only shows locks in the DB instance it’s running on. However, locks chains may span multiple instances in a clustered environment.
In this brief post I’d like to propose a RAC-aware alternative to “utllockt.sql” using only SQL so it can be run in any Oracle client.
