Fedora :: Get Rid Of Policykit Restrictions

Sep 5, 2010

How can I get rid of all policykit restrictions that fedora 13 has? I just upgraded from fedora 10 and of course my freenx sessions are again unable to do anything useful like mounting a drive. Difference is no GUI now to help fix this. So I would like to get rid of all restrictions.

Fedora :: Username Restrictions And Groups And Computernames?

Nov 24, 2009

I have searched for days on Google and can't find a clear answer to my question. I have a NT4 PDC which I am migrating to Samba 3 (Version 3.4.2-47.fc12) on FC12 with kernel(2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686). I am using tdbsam as my passdb backend.I setup Samba as a BDC and then joined to NT4 Domain succesfully. When I go to vampire the accounts I get lots of errors and some user accounts get transfered over. It turns that all the user accounts that transfer are those that don't have a capital letter in their username on the NT4 domain server. Most do and don't get transfered. There seems to be errors with my groups and Computer accounts.Is there a way to change the requirements in Fedora 12 for username, groups and computernames?

Fedora Networking :: Internet Access Restrictions?

May 31, 2011

I have a work network of about 20 boxes most of which are running Windows 7 and one of them is a file server using linux and another is Windows server 2003. Now the local IP is distributed by the router, and no regulation of internet access is done by any of the servers.What I need to do is restrict internet access to select domains, which would probably need DHCP through linux(I think, not really sure), and I need something simple like a 'blabla.conf' file with the allowed websites that I can edit. need to know how to regulate IP addresses through the linux box (all details if possible, I never tried to do that before), and how to restrict internet access also through linux.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: PolicyKit: Only One User Can Mount USB Sticks

Jan 31, 2011

Looks like its some sort of PolicyKit issue. Documentation (and I suspect the system itself) all assume that I have only one user. But my computer is a two-seat, my girlfriend and I are logged in at the same time. Only I am able to mount and write to USB drives. I suspect its because my account is always logged in first.

Dolphin gives the following error: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy
blah blah org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable auth_admin_keep_always

So my guess is that this "auth_admin" for some reason only refers to my user. I opened up the "Global Configuration" application (something that typed up when I filtered for 'policy' in the application launcher), and added my user, my girlfriends user and the 'user' group as "System Administrators". I logged out and logged back in on her account and this did nothing.

Ubuntu :: Gnome Auto Mount Permissions Policykit-1

Aug 6, 2010

why can I not allow remote sessions admin rights? why is there a remote exception thrown when Gnome auto mounts my cdrom? Here is a valid use case for auto mounting on a headless server. Server live in external room, admin pc lives in different part of same building. Server needs new software on CD admin walks to server puts cd in server walks to admin pc installs software. Currently you need to mount manually. not a big deal but could be so much easier if I didn't have to do this.who can a moan to in order to get policykit changed.

P.S. I'm a developer willing to put my time where my mouth is and change this.

Ubuntu :: Restrictions Of MP3 And DVD

Jan 1, 2011

I try to understand the reasons for restricting DVD and MP3. My conclusion so far is that DVD is restricted due to software patents (and the DMCA). The software decoding DVD is open software, though. What is the situation regarding MP3? It is also restricted. Is it due to the same kind of software patents? As I understand, the MP3 codecs are not free software (like DVD)?

OpenSUSE :: KDE Action Restrictions Does Not Work?

I'm working with Opensuse 11.2 and KDE 4.3.5. I tried to restrict the run command (with Alt-F2) in the kdeglobals file:

run_command=false

But there is no effect. With Opensuse 10.3 and KDE 3.5 it works fine.

Ubuntu Servers :: Ssh Restrictions Per Interface ?

Aug 20, 2010

I have a server with two active network interfaces. On one, I need ssh open for all users (it's running LTSP, and as I learned the hard way today, blocking ssh kills LDM access).

On the other interface (which connects to the rest of the network), I only want to allow a few administrative users to connnect.

Is there a way to do this cleanly using sshd_config or PAM? I don't want to do something hacky like running dropbear.

Ubuntu Servers :: Put A Few Login Restrictions In Place?

Jun 3, 2010

I've got Ubuntu server 10.04 set up and I wanted to make a few restrictions. It's pretty much just acting as a VMware server at the moment, and there are some users I've created who I only want to be able to be able to log into the VMware infrastructure web interface. I want to make sure these users can't log in via SSH, FTP, or the console itself. I understand how to block them from logging in via SSH by using DenyUsers, and I added these users to the /etc/ftpusers file to lock them out of FTP, but how can I block them from logging in at the console itself?

I tried locking the user out by editing the /etc/passwd file, but the problem is that by doing this, it also prevents the user from being able to log into the VMware web interface.

The user's entry in /etc/passwd looks like this: bsmith:*:1005:1005:Bob Smith,,,:/home/bsmith:/bin/bash

Networking :: Apply A NAT With Source Restrictions At Iptables?

Jul 22, 2010

I have a computer with two interfaces (eth0 and eth1), eth0 is connected with a local network and eth1 is connected to the internet, also it implements a NAT in the interface eth1. Nevertheless, I'm trying to create spoofed packets with sockets raw in the computer that runs the NAT and send the packets to the interface eth1. The problem is that the NAT is changing the IP source to the real one before send the packets. So, anyone have any idea how can I implements the NAT in eth1 but only apply the NAT to the packets that are from/to eth0? I was thinking in something like (I am really newbie with iptables):

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -i eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Well, it didn't work.

Networking :: IPsec - Tunnel Restrictions And Users?

Jun 22, 2011

While I successfully configured an IPsec-VPN (I use a similar tho modified setup like this:[URL].. I am now stuck on the next steps. While I can connect to everything I want, I need to configure "access-groups" and/or "users".

The scenario is similar to this: Lets say Host A, B and C allow SSH-Connections and some weird non-standard UDP-Connection from Host-VPN, and are also accessible on other ports with public IP's (like http).

I now want to limit, that an admin-user has access to all of them, while trainee-admin only can access everything on Host B and C, and CEO only can connect via telnet to Host C - and all users can be roadwarriors

(I made this example up to give you an idea what i'm trying to do - hope it makes sense). Now my question is, if someone can point me towards a direction, as I'm quite clueless at the current moment as to what to try. I know that commercial IPsec-Implementations can do this, but can OpenSWAN/... give me something similar?

Security :: User Bypassing Demo Restrictions?

Jan 17, 2010

I have a user that has already used up a demo 24hr trial on my website. At present, I only check the customer id and the IP address to search for duplicates. On the whole this works but it's not foolproof. We now have 1 user from China that is changing their IP address everyday to get access to the free trial. Any options on what to do? I thought of downloading a cookie to their computer that the website could pick up - again not foolproff but most people don't disable cookies. Any other options?

I could ban China temporarily until the user gives up but if they find another proxy to chain then their IP address will be different again.

I'm trying to configure notifying 'sys admins' cellulars about some events in clients IT infrastructure. In linux env it would be ease, just to use 'mail' cmd but need solution for windows env in this case.

I have RAID Controller running under windows xp and its raid array sotfware has feature to notify about events by email. I found some free solutions on the internet but most of them are shareware and if are freeware, they have limitations e.g. nr of sent emails per day.

Is there some free smtp server that I can use with no limitations?
