Debian :: Upon Logging In - Get A Huge Amount Of /dev/null - Permission Denied
Mar 16, 2009
I've all of a sudden been getting permission denied for almost everything I try to do. Upon logging in, I get a huge amount of "/dev/null: Permission denied"
The only way I can manage to get to the terminal is by Ctrl-C. It never brings up the command line, unless I do that.
If I try to startX, I get errors, also saying permission denied, and then one that says
Code:
I also get many "failed" errors when booting, most of them saying that a file could not be found/located.
Check the thread link at the top for other information in the first post.
I could reinstall Debian, but the computer I am using is a Libretto 110CT (64MB RAM), which has only a PCMCIA drive, for which I have a USB port replicator. There is no CD drive.
It was also a custom install fitted for the computer, so I'd rather not have to set everything up again, nor would I know how to exactly, as I've never done it before.

I run a mediaserver on Archlinux, working perfectly (or almost). I have set up NFS v3 and that worked for me on these clients:
- Debian Lenny
- Archlinux 64bit
Now I've upgraded my Lenny-box to squeeze and I see that 2 of my 3 shared folders (tdone and twatch) are mounted like they should and the third one (media) doesn't come up. A 'mount -a' as root gives this error: mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting (null) My relevant fstab-lines:

how I can go about debugging this?

Does anyone notice that Slackware's user/groups is cluttered with things no one will ever need, do you need be to be part of the slocate group? like really? Why doesn't every program just have its own group then, I look at my distro (LFS built), SuSE and some others and I can't help but notice the huge amount of groups in slackware, if you going to add groups for everything then why in the universe do we even need sudo for? Just make the binary you want to work a group and change its ownership..... wtf is Pat and the rest of Slackware doing?

I examined the problem, and determined that a huge amount of disk space is being taken up by files in /var/log/ The following files:
Code:
/var/log/messages.1
/var/log/kern.log.1
/var/log/daemon.log.1
/var/log/messages
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/syslog
are all over 1 GB in size. The largest is 18 GB. Together, they total 48.3 GB. I restarted the system, forcing a fsck.

I have setup my debian 8 web server.
For some reason I am having some issues with permissions of some images. They don't render because they are not set to 644. Now for some reason when I uploaded these files onto my shared hosting with cPanel the files work fine and permissions are fine. I can see there is a permission issue for the files locally on my Mac (OS X - El Capitan).
When I changes these locally on Mac the permissions go all weird and are prefixed with Custom, rather than mac-user-name: Read & Write, staff: Read, everyone: no access. then changes to custom: read & write etc. So then i tried changing permissions on web server see below and I get permission denied and after all the files are gone, i can't delete the images folder through SFTP or SSH. I changed back the image to 755 and tried deleting and still nothing. Not sure what the problem is. Before I chmod I checked that the images are set to the correct user and group as per the rest of the site.
So I try:
Code: Select alluser_name@debian:/var/www/html/_files$ chmod -R 644 images
and I get this return:
Code: Select allchmod: cannot access ‘images/box-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/ie-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/google-plus-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/mobile-ready-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/404.jpg’: Permission denied

I have installed Nginx with PHP-FPM on Debian 8 to learn more about Linux permissions. Nginx is run as www-data user.
I have created a simple PHP script that outputs the date. I have set the permission as 000 (no permission at all) and it is root:root. How come I can still run this script in the browser without getting access denied? The script is inside a folder with world execution. When removing the world execution permission, the script can't be run. How does this all connect to each other?

I have an apache installation with /var/www/bob as the document root and the only site served up. I have bob as the directory's owner, and he is able to upload his files to that folder via ftp (vsftpd on the server). When a browser tries to access the pages, it simply gets a 403 forbidden. The problem occurs when apache2 tries to access the files bob uploads. The www-data user (Apache daemon) gets permission denied when I try to cat bob's files in the shell, so it's purely a permissions issue. What I can't figure out is how to give the Apache daemon the ability to read bob's files while also making certain it does not have the ability to modify any of them.

I'm using my AntiX M8 Live CD to repair a hosed Windows installation, I downloaded ComboFix to ~/home/Desktop and now I'm trying to copy (cp) the file to /mnt/ where I have already mounted the NTFS Windows partition. NTFS3G is integrated into AntiX, right? So why am I having permissions errors?
Code:
mepis1:/home/demo# cp -v Desktop/ComboFix.exe /mnt/SwSetup/
`Desktop/ComboFix.exe' -> `/mnt/SwSetup/ComboFix.exe'
cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/SwSetup/ComboFix.exe': Permission denied
mepis1:/home/demo# So far, I can read it without any errors in Terminal and navigate through the whole filesystem in ROX-Filer, Do I need to edit /etc/fstab to be able to write to an ntfs drive?

I had debian lenny running smoothly for a while, then I think the power went out and the computer didn't shutdown smoothly. The next time I started it up I ran into this error: Checking root file system.../etc/rcS.d/S10checkroot.sh: line 274: /sbin/logsave: Permission deniedfailed (code 126)This happens in single user mode as well. I've tried fscking all my partitions but it doesn't help. I've booted in bypassing the normal init and changed the permissions of /sbin/logsave to 777 and during boot I get a message of: The file system check corrected errors on the root partition but requested that the system be restarted. failed!Then the system just reboots automatically without letting me to anything.

I have a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9.55.ELsmp). When it starts up I get the following error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 unmount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
After that I got no response from the OS. I have the installation CD, so I tried to start the rescue mode, while going through the steps I received an error stating that mounting to /mnt/sysimage failed and that if I want to I can access a shell. I really don't know what to do from here

I am trying to ssh into one of my boxes and I keep getting a returned error "permission denied" (publickey, password).
I know that I am using the correct password. I have also set my router to forward the port to the correct IP. I am using the login option-l to specify the user that I want to log into the server as. On another box I removed some options from the ssh_config so that it would only use password authentication and THIS WORKED. On the new box, however, I do not see any option for removing the other authentication methods. Can I stop the ssh from the client from trying to use the other methods of authentication (I'm guessing this is what the publickey error is)?
By the way, both machines can ssh localhost.

I have a user (let's call him John) who is not able to list contents of several 777 directories even though it appears he has permission to.
Case in point, as root:
Code:
Code:
If I use ls -a or strictly ls as john, I can list the contents of the nss directory:
Code:
That says to me that I have an issue listing permissions. Fine, I don't really need john to be able to list permissions. I want him to have rwx access to /media/nss/ENG which as you can see from my listing as root shouldn't be a problem since the perms on that dir are 777.
I am able to CD into the ENG directory or any other directory or subdirectory in /media/nss that has equivalent 777 perms, but once in the directories I can't list the contents:
Code:
I can get anywhere and do anything I want under the media/nss folder as john, except listing files. I even tried using an ACL i.e.
Code:
Why this isn't working?

The root user of Linux doesn't have permission to read/write a regular file, unless all users have permission to read/write this file, like below:
drwxrwsrwx ....... file_name
However the owner of the file can still read/write this file.
AND:
0) not the problem of execution, just read/write
1) not the problem of device because regular user can read/write it.
2) the result of command id:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
so I don't think it's the problem of group.

I have just installed 9.10 netbook remix onto my Eeepc 901. I was previously using 9.4 Rather than clicking on shutdown icons, or going through shutdown menus, I added a keyboard shortcut to run a shell script containing the following code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
init 0
because init needs to be run as root to have the correct permissions, I set the owner and group to be root , ran chmod 711, then chmod u+s to prevent anyone altering the script, and to allow anyone to execute it with root privelidges Since updateing to 9.10 netbook remix, I have been unable to get this to work. have applied the above changes but get a "/bin/bash: /usr/bin/shutdownscript: permission denied" error when I try to run my shutdown script from the terminal (nothing happens when I press the key combination asigned to the keyboard shortcut). If I run the shutdown script with sudo then it neatly shuts down. ls reveals the following permissions:-rws--s--x 1 root root
So it appears as if SUID and SGID are both set, and the owner/group are correct, and the script works, and yet it doesn't have the permissions to work. I installed 9.4 long ago enough that I can't remember if I had to do anything else to get it working, or has something changed between 9.4 and 9.10?

Forum.Ref:Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid LynxFluxboxOpera 10.61Has anyone a clue how I can solve following (minor but annoying) problem?It takes a relative long time (a few seconds) as normal user before Opera starts in my fluxbox environment. I expected a quicker startup time.Also because when I start opera as root the startup time is shorter.I started opera in a terminal. No messages when started as root with gksudoBut 5 lines of:open: Permission deniedwhen started as normal user. Startup succeeds after these messages.So I figured out that there is some kind of authorisation problem but have no clue how to find out which files opera tries to open and fails and what to do at this point.I searched for similar problems on this forum and also via google but could not find any real answers.
