Fedora :: Start Program Without Root Password
Apr 12, 2011I have a couple of encrypted external hard drives that I have to mount with realcrypt.The thing is, to start realcrypt I always need to put in my root password, which is kind of a drag.I have combed the internet for information and the most sensible solutions always pointed to do a visudo edit.There were a few things I tried, but none of them seem to work.This is the last iteration - I put in all realcrypt files i could find, which I suppose shouldn't be necessary but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

Jul 6, 2011In 11.04 natty, I can't find a way to run a program with Administrator privileges.Specifically, I'm trying to configure sbackup by using the Simple Backup Configuration frontend. I always used to run this manually, set my backup schedules, and then let the program carry out backups in the background. In the new version, the scheduling options are greyed out unless you're logged in as Admin.
I've asked the question in the sbackup forum (no answer so far!) but in general terms, how do I run an application with Administrator/root privileges?
Ubuntu :: Run A Program As Super User (root)?
Feb 15, 2011I have been trying to run the program unrevoked so that I can flash and root my phone. I want to do this on Linux, but this requires me to run the program as root and I don't know how to do this. I looked it up online and it told me to simply type sudo reflash or gksudo reflash and I tried both, sudo says it can't find the program and gksudo does something then nothing appears to happen.

Ubuntu :: Difference: Run Program From Rc2.d Or From Root Command Line?
Mar 26, 2010Example: In rc2.d I have S99test. In it: Code: #!/bin/sh mplayer -playlist "/music/Thom Yorke - The Eraser" Reboot; hear the loveliness; press pause (lirc setup)...still loveliness.
Login as root; "pkill mplay";hear nothing; "/etc/rc2.d/S99test"; more loveliness; press pause...silence! I know that i the former case, mplayer is assigned (for lack of a proper term) to a session, e.g. tty1. Not so in the latter. But why should a program like mplayer not receive (or ignore?) input from lircd, simply because it doesn't have a session? And how can I get mplayer (or any program run from boot scripts) to work with other programs (like lircd)?

Jan 21, 2010I can't get a program (wbar) to run directly from my user account, it fails saying "Image not found -> maybe using a relative path?". But if I run su -c "wbar", it shows up and manages to load the image. I think it has something to do with ImLib2 or whatever loads the image. I checked permissions on libImlib2.so.1 and it's world-readable and executable. Can libImlib2.a be causing this problem, set to 644? What else should I be checking?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Is The Root Password In 11.04 For A Single Program Or For All Programs
Sep 1, 2011I have ubuntu 11.04 installed along side windows. And I often share files with windows computers. If I am installing a new package from ubuntu software center, and consquently I have to log in as root to do so, which means I have given the system 'privileges' as the program is being installed, I decide to go open mozilla, and surf suspicious sites on the net. Is it possible in that case for me to get a virus?
When we enter the password for the root user in order to run one program such as ubuntu software center, does that mean that all programs have root privileges for the time being (as the software center is installing the program)?

Server :: Fedora Sending Mails From Root With Non-root Account?
Jul 14, 2011I've started to get emails that would typically come from [URL] as [URL]. These emails come from services that send out emails (backup programs) directly, or from cronjobs. I've logged in as the non-root account and either sudo su - or su - to root and the restart the service at one point or another. If I login directly as root and bounce the service or cron the emails come across as from root. I don't see anything in my environment variables after I su to indicate what would cause this. I'm not sure where else to look? A pam setting? This seems to have happened between Fedora 10 and 14 (did a bunch of overdue upgrades recently) I've only got Fedora so I don't have anything to compare to. In Fedora 10 I did not have this problem.

I don't think this can be considered solely an "upstream" problem, because I first tried it in Arch using the same version of glibc, and the final command causes both gnome-terminal and xterm windows to disappear.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Automatically Start Graphical (SDL) Program As Root On Non-graphical Debian?
Mar 3, 2009I'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting my application"
