I am trying to find a best tool to track configuration files changes. I did find some information about osec and mactime, but, it seems, that they are not included in fedora/rpmfusion package databases. is there any tool that can be installed as a package?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any Linux tool to create new or modify exiting key/value pairs in text configuration files? For example, to change a setting in xorg.conf, or change something in etc/networking/interfaces? I know it could be done by sed or by perl scripts, but it could be easier to have a program for this purpose. There are many difficulties for this job that the program should consider, and I am facing nearly all of them:
- Some configuration files may have sections. Like in Windows-type INI files (for example: "[something]"), or like Section in xorg.conf. More sections with the same name can occur, like in xorg.conf.
- If the key/value pair originally does not exist, then the program should add it. But not to the end of the file, but tothe end of a predefined section.
- Config files can have remark lines. Remark text can be even at the same line than the key/value pair. After modifying the value, the original remark text should not change at the end of the line. The remark-starting symbol is not always.
- The values in configuration files are not always simple numbers or simple words, but in rare cases, they are composed by more words, for example: item=name address phone
And of course, we can have remark at the end, like this: item=name address phone # remark text
- The key-value separator depends on the file. Some files use "key=value" format, some other use "key value" format, or even "key1 key2 value", like xorg.conf. The as separator can also occur.
- Case sensitivity can also be an issue.
- Sometime to desired task is not to modify a value, but to add or remove a line beginning remark to a certain line.
I think that managing all these possible cases by a perl or sed program is nearly impossible. I begun to write a C program, but maybe there is already one?
My ISP has implemented a download quota between the "peak" hours of 8am and midnight. It is restricted to 100GB over a rolling 30days. I would like to track peak and off peak if possible, but only peak is really necessary.
Prior to the limits in certain hours I was using VnStat with a couple of home made scripts to log usage and calculate the rolling 30 days total. I don't really know how to tackle changing it to log only limited hours and am fairly certain my scripting skills just aren't up to it.
Is there another tool that can do what I need, I would very much prefer a console based solution. If it is console and only handles peak and off peak then I can try and script for the 30days again.Or has anyone managed to script something like this parsing from VnStat already ?

I noticed, that the "official" Compiz-Configuration-Tool is not functionable. I change the properties of some effects, and even after reboot, no change can be seen.Then there is the tiny Fedora-Compiz-Tool. The settings I'm setting here are applied immediately.Is that a normal behaviour? Could it be that the official Compiz-Config-Tool is not compatible with the Fedora-Compiz?

I find that there are no configuration files in /etc/nepenthes/, and only a signatures document.
I searched in the internet, all the install guides do not mention this problme, just say that if updating the nepenthes, the /etc/nepenthes/*.conf will not automaticly update.
I have joined a number of websites over time and it seems harder to manage them. Would like advice on how to generate passwords and to store and keep track of them. I would like to hear of systems or programs that are good for this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running an OpenSuse 11.2 box at home which updates a mysql database 4 times a day then posts 34Mb to my website. It's exactly the same amount of data each time, and my scripts*TRUNCATEs then rewrites the database with the latest data - so the database size remains the same.
There's a problem (I think with the script) however which means that everytime the script runs, approximately 34Mb of space on my hard disk is mysteriously taken up. I'll have to get that script fixed...
I can't, however find the files which are eating up my diskspace at the rate of 140Mb per day. I've done various searches (mainly with Dolphin) including hidden files immediately after running my flaky script and looking for any files created/modified in the previous few minutes when the 34Mb has disappeared.
There are LOTS of files in /proc (which I don't think is actually on my HD right?) and also in /var. There's nothing much in /tmp (on a separate partition) or any log files that I can see. The box has been running this script daily for the last 6 weeks so I'm hoping there's a load of files somewhere I can get rid of, then fix my script.
Forever I've been able to use "locate" to find files, but now it finds NOTHING at all and I have no clue why.. I tried apt-get install locate and it installed it, but it's not working in bash.

I have inherited a web configuration tool based on mojoportal (which uses C#). As the web server hosting this site is on a Linux machine (currently Ubuntu + mono), I would like to recreate it in a more Linux-natural environment.
The web application I inherited needs to allow creation of configuration profiles for other Linuxes(including setting their IP tables, QoS and many other network protocols). These profiles are downloaded by the Linux clients and a local parser does the configuration accordingly.
The main properties I need are:
* Receive and display a lot of structured data to the user (i.e. iptables chains or QoS hierarchies) and of course process it
* Manage several users with different permissions
* Use MySQL as the database
* Allow FTP access to receive configuration files created
* Display monitoring data and graphs (a low-level NMS)
I do not need forums, blogs or any other user input apart from entering data in the forms (possibly a text editor, but that's about it)
I used to be very proficient in Python and Perl (so am sure it would be easy to regain these abilities) and am versed in SQL. I know HTTP and CGI but never worked with PHP.
I'm looking for a nice tool to detect sniffers.
I've found several tools but many of theses projects seem to be down :
- sentinel (offical website seem to be down, no place to download the software)
- netped (not powerful enough)
- sniffdet (the project seem to be down)
- antisniff (works only for detecting windows sniffers ...)
Wherever I look for I get dead links and outdated softwares .... Do you know a serious tool I could use to dectect sniffers?
