Security :: Prevent Users From Changing Or Unset Their HISTFILE Variable?
Sep 30, 2010'readonly HISTFILE'
but the user could tamper with the histfile itself. Like:
rm -f $HISTFILE;
rm -f $HISTFILE; mkdir $HISTFILE;
rm -f $HISTFILE; ln -s /dev/null $HISTFILE;
I'm experimenting with PROMPT_COMMAND to execute a command each time the user executes a command and so log it somewhere else.This post was pruned from the 2009 Is there a way to prevent users from changing or unset their HISTFILE variable? thread. Please do not resurrect old threads but instead create your own (and maybe provide a link to the old one).
Programming :: Identify Users Who Forbidden Files In Home Directory

Fedora Networking :: Modify The Script To Allow Non-root Users Similar Features?
Mar 28, 2011I spent some time programming a useful script which presents the user with a UI of all the samba/W2K8 servers and shares on the domain and they check off the shares and the script maps them. The script can only be run as root because mount doesn't allow users to execute. I was asked to modify the script to allow non-root users similar features. I was able to get this working by running the commands:
Code:
# chmod +s /sbin/mount.cifs
# chmod +s /sbin/umount.cifs
Can someone please explain to me what the 's' option means? The man pages only go as far as to say that it allows for setting suid but I don't really know understand that means or what the implications are by doing this. In a perfect world I would like to create a security group and add users into that group and then grant that group permission to run mount.cifs/umount.cifs rather than making such a drastic global change to a core binary. how I might go about granting members of a group permission to run hand-selected commands like mount.cifs?
Post added at 07:07 PM Previous post was at 04:40 PM Ok, I read up on the /etc/sudoers man page and I think I have a more elegant solution to this problem of user mountable samba shares. I restored my mount.cifs back (chmod -s /sbin/mount.cifs) and I used visudo to grant the access.
Code:
%smbusers ALL=NOPASSWD:NOEXEC:/sbin/mount.cifs,/sbin/umount.cifs
This allows any users in the smbusers group to run mount.cifs/umount.cifs with sudo but without being prompted for a password.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Unset Or Get Rid Of A Bash Function?
Jun 19, 2010If you set or export an environment variable in bash, you can unset it. If you set an alias in bash, you can unalias it. But there doesn't seem to be an unfunction.
Consider this (trivial) bash function, for example, set in a .bash_aliases file and read at shell initialization.
function foo () { echo "bar" ; }
How can I clear this function definition from my current shell? (Changing the initialization files or restarting the shell doesn't count.)

General :: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH Get Unset When Using Screen With Bash?
Jun 16, 2010This is related to http://superuser.com/questions/27376/why-does-my-ld-library-path-get-unset-launching-terminal, but a different set of symptoms.First, /usr/bin/screen is setuid as per the other question. Second, the default shell on this system is /bin/tcsh for various historical reasons, and we're not allowed to chsh to /bin/bash, so I typically run bash manually immediately after login. Third, I almost always use screen, but I want ctrl-a ctrl-c in screen to create a new bash "tab", so I always invoke bash first.
That is:
{~} $ echo $SHELL
/bin/tcsh

1) Set the Directory options to FollowSymLinks
2) Verified all directory and file permissions are at 755
3) Set permissions temporarily to 777 and received same error so I am assuming the issue is in a config file somewhere
4) in hhtpd.conf verified <Files ~ "^.ht"> is correct
5) verified the "default" directory is correct (/var/www/html)
I have read and tried several ideas in posts listed on the web but to no avail and am at a loss as to what to look for next..

Jan 25, 2011For some reason it seems like my Thunderbird 3.x has a limit of 80 chars per line enabled, so when I edit a message, it puts a line feed on or before that limit.
I think it could be set when I installed Enigmail for using GPG, that changes some default values, but I'm not sure.
Anyway I would like to avoid this issue, so I can write lines as long as I want, but I've not found a configuration option to do this within "Preferences" dialog.

Server :: Monitoring Users On Servers - Centos 5
Feb 28, 2010I'm looking for some sort of a way keep track of all of my users that are logging in to my server (centos 5), what I mean is this: at our firm we outsource some of our work (programing), now all of the developing is done under our servers, what I'd like to find is a way of taking all of the users log on time and display by days/weeks/months - so I could see how much did everyone had put in. Another thing that I'm looking for is a way to monitor an ongoing session and record user activity, now I've seen ObserveIT, but it doesn't support Linux agents as of today.
