Debian Configuration :: How To Control Access To Different Services
Dec 25, 2010
I'm trying to control access to different services on an Debian server using /etc/group. So that a user I create for FTP usage doesn't fill up my server with IMAP folders or samba garbage.
Services like proftpd have:
AllowGroup ftpgroup
sshd have
AllowGroups sshgroup
And samba have
valid users = @smbgroup
But I can't find the correct option in Dovecot (/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) Do anyone have the magic option or a workaround thats doesn't envolve maintaining seperate user databases and password?

I'm running debian unstable and since there was the switch to dependency based boot I can no longer control my boot services.I used to suppress the services that I use rarely during boot with: sudo update-rc.d -f myservice remove This arranged the links in /etc/rc?.d and everything worked.
Now this command only says: update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing.This seems to work until I upgrade the service to a new version and it is enabled again.Do you have any idea of how to disable boot services permanently with the new system?

Have been working most of the day on this usb full install (Jesiie xfce) trying to make it leaner/faster and trying to get rid of minor annoyances like "watchdog: watchdog0 is not shutting down" (couldn't btw), finally managed to disable "You have mail" by commenting out "session optional pam_ mail.so standard" in /etc/pam.d/login. Every little change registers in terms of seconds of boot time saved and how the system responds because, well, i'm booting from a usb 2 drive.Followed some suggestions from "Reduce Debian", removed cups-common, some foreign language locales and man pages. what i can safely do with systemctl.

Debian 2.6.32 Squeeze + GnomeI try to start System | Administration | Services and I get an error:The configuration could not be loadedAn unknown error occurredI turned on a whole bunch of different services and suddenly now I can't get back in to switch any of these on or off. I'm assuming there is some manual way of switching these off again, I just don't know where to do this.

is there a Debian way possibility to start services depending on the choice made on the (grub) boot prompt? As an example:
Workstation - starts all and everything but no hostap nor xend (run this at home)
Workstation traveller - starts like Worksation except networking (run this in the pub
Xen host - run this preparing some training courses
Xen host HOSTAP - run this having the training course with a WiFi net for the class
I came from Gentoo recently and there is such a possibility. It is relatively simple to put a kernel option which the kernel does not recognize at the boot prompt. Such not recognized options will be sent through to init (and thus to the SysV init scripts) by the kernel and I could script this. What I am looking for is a the "official" way on Debian to do such things.

I'm trying to lower consumption of my server/HTPC. After wakeup from pm-suspend server/HTPC is ready to use in 1 or 2 seconds .For example if I suspend it while watching movie in KODI, after resume movie starts playing instantly. But some services (SSH and SAMBA) are not running. I thought it was network problem so I change configuration to static (not DHCP). SAMBA and SSH starts like 15 seconds after wakeup.

I'm using debian 5 x64 with xfce.Is there a way to configure (start/stop/restart) services (especially Apache2, mySQL and PHP) using a graphical or cli tool? I tried to use sysv-rc, sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and rc-conf in the terminal but Bash didn't find them (Although Synaptic show that sysv-rc is installed).

I've got a PC with a really noisy fan and suspect that most of the time my PC isn't warm enough to need it. I'm using xfce as my desktop, is it possible to do some sort of hddtemp thing and just have my fan come on when it is needed?

For some reason I cannot figure out, xscreensaver does not have permission to control my screen. It's present in memory, so the settings app thinking it is not present and asking if I want to start it is odd. Could the the necessity of using VESA BIOS controls to get around bugs in the VIA/S3/Unichrome chipset be the source of the problem? Are there other Linux screensavers that might work differently and might still be able to blank my screen?

My laptop fan sensor shows fine in psensor in sid. But today I downgrade to jessie and sensor for fan gone. I check if fancontrol is running but I can not manage to make it work
sensors

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter

[Code] ....
I google and have tried but no luck
Code: Select allacpi_enforce_resources=lax
This is an Asus laptop with controllable fan. I am not sure if fan is running by Bios, and how it might run. But I feel the laptop seem quieter and at higher temperature than it was under sid.

how do we control the display color quality in Debian, similar to setting 16 bit or 32 bit in Windows? I have Lenny on a notebook and Squeeze on a netbook, but cannot find a menu to set it. They both have the default vesa driver.

I am using Squessze and Gnome. When I try to use the gui System>Administration>Network or Users and Groups I get the error The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration.Everything was working before. I read around a bit. In some cases,it was caused by mismatching group and password files after using the gui. I do not know how to check if they are matching. Of course I do not know for sure that is the problem in my case.

I've gotten VNC setup and working well on our LAN. The next step we want to do is making it acessible from the web, so we can remotely do things with the office files.Unfortunately, I have no idea how to go about this.Our current setup is a router which connects to the phone line, and into which other devices are connected. We're in one room of a big office building which may complicate matters somewhat.Can anyone provide a bit of general info on this topic. Give me somewhere to start ?Ultimately we want to be able to connect to the vnc port from anywhere in the world.

due to low disk space there arose a problem. Now I re-installed Debian along with winXP as dual boot. XP works as it was before. but i can't open Linux. When i select Debian on boot-select page, Debian starts but stuck at a point as shown below:
check root= boot arg cat/proc/cmd line
or missing modules,devices:cat/proc/modules ls/dev
ALERT!/dev/sda3/doesnot exist. Dropping to shell;
Busy Box v1.1.3(Debian 1:1.1.3-4) built-in shell(ash)
Enter 'Help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: Can�t access tty; job control turned off.
(intramfs)
i hv searched a lot but couldn't come up with a correct solution.i tried editing the grub by pressing 'e' when grub is displayed and added the line acpi=off irqpoll and then start booting. but the result was same.

we have moved and in the new apartment there's a connection with no external IP. Can I somehow access ssh from outside? There's absolutely no chance of granting a port from the ISP's side.

I have a windows based Domain Name Server (DNS) and I have a debian pc connecting to this network, obtaining an ip address via a DHCP server. I can ping any machine on the network using the ip address however I would like to be able to ping other machines on the network using their host names. For example I would like to be able to type... ping machine1HostName ... instead of ... ping 00.00.00.00 To do this I realise I need to tell debian to access the windows DNS but how can I do this?

It looks like my web/ftp server has been hacked but I'm not sure how. I logged in tonight and found I had new mail. I read it and found some e-mails that had failed to send because I don't have mail setup (luckily). The e-mails were trying to send my user name and password to the e-mail address lostsoul2k@ymail.comI've no idea where to start, I use SSH, FTP now and then and it hosts a Wordpress site. The FTP users do not have access via SSH, only my user ID. However, the e-mails also contained another user ID that only has FTP access to the server.I've looked through the logs for rkhunter but it doesn't look like it found anything.

This is a perennial problem with Linux. I am just not comfortable moving a lot of casual files around as root. How can I have user access to a USB stick? I've done my Google searches and tried several methods, some of which work temporarily but not permanently. At the moment, I have this line in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sdd /media/usb_flash ntfs noauto,users,rw,umask=0 0 0
As with other methods, this worked last week but not now.
All I want to do is insert a USB stick, transfer some files and remove the stick. I want to do this as a user. This should be simple. What is the trick?

I've installed Debian on a Sun Ultra 450 Enterprise system using the net install version, so I know that my network is working correctly. However, now that Debian is installed and I bring up Gnome, I have no network access. I've set eth0 to DHCP, and have pointed it to my DNS server, but it never gets any information from the DNS server.
I've looked through /etc/network/interfaces, which looks like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp
/etc/resolv.conf contains:
nameserver 192.168.0.1
which is correct.
I've run
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start
So far, nothing works. Why would the Debian network install disk work, but not be smart enough to set my network correctly from the start once I'm actually running Linux? Also, how do I get the network running in Gnome?

I have recently installed Debian 504 AMD64, when I try to access "System" --> "Administration" --> "Users and groups" logged in as root, I get the following message:
"The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration."
The system does not even ask for a password and the result is the same if I log in as a normal user.
I have installed from a single ISO DVD downloaded from the internet and read the DVDs of my previous Debian distro to install packages not included on DVD 1 of Debian 504 although I do not think this unusual approach can have any effect on the installation. I suspect I'll have to boot in single user mode but I have never done any troubleshooting at the command line.
(/etc/passwd and /etc shadow look OK).

I'm trying to avoid having to migrate my machine to Fedora: it's either learn to clone some existing Puppet manifests from Fedora to Ubuntu, or move back to Fedora. I'm running into several problems, including parsing errors for rules that work for Fedora and fail for Ubuntu, presumably because the version of libaugeas-ruby is older for Ubuntu (0.3.0) than Fedora (0.4.0). For Ubuntu, these rules fail with "Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s)". Another one is a failure of augeas to use the 'ins' command to insert a rule into krb5.conf. I can't think of any good reason for these other than the older versions of the libraries render Puppet unable to parse properly.
At any rate, I was wondering whether anyone has had experience and success controlling security services in Ubuntu (Natty), such as krb5, pam, screensaver locking, etc. I should be able to hack my way through these, but I keep hitting walls like the evaluation error above.

Following yesterday's and then today's upgrade of my Debian 8 32-bit system (among other things to samba 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2 (yesterday: ...deb8u1)) I cannot connect my Mint 17.3 laptop to the server anymore. Were there any changes to smb.conf regarding authentication or other aspects that might lead to this problem? I am enclosing part of my smb.conf. By the way - I also have trouble using ssh to connect to the Debian machine, such as the ssh-command taking "for ever" and then getting the message "Write failed: Broken pipe" when entering an ls-command on the command line.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Carlos AlegrÃa from Chile and I'm System administrator for a educational Institute. We use samba+ldap, for login accounts and file sharing but we not use samba with PDC.
Long time ago at the 2009 year, I was Installing the same system and this worked perfectly. But on our summer the hard disk of server has broken, so i was need installing all the system again. So the problem is with SAMBA, when i connect to the network resource, this is to slow, and when i try transfer files are slow.
My sistem is on Debian 8 Jessie and the Samba Version is 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb
Code: Select all[global]
  workgroup = LABORATORIO
  netbios name = Shinigami
  server string = debian
