I've setup dimdim (opensource, centos 5.3) and noticed yum & rpm commands fail when executed as root because it uses librpmio from openoffice3 instead of /usr/lib (I'm running from memory so I may have misstyped). But sudo doesn't have this problem.
How can root's search path be different, especially after I state /usr & /usr/lib at the top of /etc/ld.so.conf.
I am trying to find the permissions of the directories in the $PATH variable.
I am trying to use the following:
I want to get a of log all the commands executed by the root user with the following details :
incoming ip
username (thru which su was executed)
time and date
all the commands executed as mentioned above.
Also if user has managed to login as root, he should not be able to disable / delete the above info. Can this info be collected at some other physical server ?
I would like to run a script from any location. The script is in ~/scripts, so I added ~/scripts to my PATH. However, since I have to run it with 'sh script.sh' (due to the permissions on the directory), it doesn't seem to look in PATH for the file script.sh. Is there a way to get it to do this?

After restarting the network, it is deleted automatically.second, so I put the DNS domain name in /etc/resolv.conf as search mydomainname . After network restart, it is also deleted automatically.In both case domain name did not work (i.e, I can't connect to my server from outside using domain name, I can by ip address, internet is working fine).However, I found that the domain name is written in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with search=mydominaname.

fix or a setting to tweak in order to get full notifications back?
Inspite of having 755 permissions on the chown command, it seems the command can be executed by the root only. I was under the impression that the 'x' permission for 'others' can give executable rights to the normal user too, which does not seem to be the case here. Just curious to know, if not the file perms itself, what controls the execution of the command?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to upgrade Fedora 12 to 13. I get an error screen that said root could not be found. Four options are given. Not sure exactly their wording, but two appear to allow you to cancel the other two warn that if you reinitialize you will wipe out all data.
I have a Vista partition and a Fedora partition. I've added the vista ntfs partition to fstab with no help. All of the partition use the long UUID form. I added the root location (root (hd0,5) to the upgrade menu item in grub.conf and that didn't work either.
I'm reluctant to proceed for fear of initializing the entire drive. I could live with installing Fedora 13 over the existing partitions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a /data and /backup. on backup there is a folder called Info that has a bunch of data on it, but its not shared through Samba. So what I'm thinking is that on one of my Samba shares on data there is a folder which is really just a link to that /backup/Info folder. Is there an easy way to search through /data to see if there's a link to it, or do i have to manually go through and do a ton of ls's?

I installed all that I was asked to install. However, when I was installing libcss, it said that "Package libparserutils was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'libparserutils.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable". I have already installed libparsercutils but not in the /usr/lib dir.
What should I do to continue my installation? And anyone could tell me what are those lib stuff? I installed zlib with the apt-get install command.Can I get other lib stuff with the same command?
I'm writing an application and want to make possible to compile it with or without an optional module. This module requires perl library to be compiled, so I want to check presence of it in 'autoconf'.
The problem exists because perl library is placed in 'non-standart' location itself (like a /usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/libperl.so). So when I try to run configure (with AC_CHECK_LIB or AC_SEARCH_LIBS), it cannot find and link libperl.so in its test.
Trying to pass ./configure CFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/ or ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/
How can I define a location to search for configure's tests?
I need a command to search for any file in a directory like so:
/home/*/upload/* and then change permissions any file in that directory.
Find doesn't seem to match what I need.
I'm writing an application with a plugin architecture and would like modify (specifically add to) the dynamic library search path while the main executable is running.
The plugin paths are not known until the application is running so I can't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH ahead of time.
My understanding (although I haven't tested it) is that the executable will only parse the LD_LIBRARY_PATH once, early on, so modifying this environment variable at runtime will have no effect.
(Note - on Windows the solution is to modify the PATH environment variable)
I know it's possible to specify the full path to load a dynamic library, and this would work if the plugin(s) only had a single library to load, but some of them will have a bunch of libraries with their own inter-dependencies, so I'd like the plugin folder(s) to get added to the search path to pick up the dependant libs.
I need to use Live Media to make changes to a hard disk drive. I tried to sudo to no effect.
Seems like it would be troublesome to authorize root access on Live Media or have sudo allow commands such as pvcreate,lvcreate,vgcreate, especially if the hard disk is not encrypted.
I've been getting error messages indicating my disk might be full, but I don't really think it is. It is so bad that I could not log on via Gnome, but fortunately I was able SSH into my box. Once in, however, I can't even create a directory!
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've just built gcc 4.6.0 by myself since there is no update in Mandriva yet and I really needed the updated version, but I must be missing something in its configuration. I added ~/apps/gcc460/bin in front of my PATH, and the lib dir to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .bash_profile, like so:
Code:
PATH=$HOME/apps/gcc460/bin:$PATH:$HOME/apps/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/duckz/apps/intel/composerxe-2011.4.191/lib/intel64/:/home/duckz/apps/gcc460/lib/
LD_RUN_PATH=/home/duckz/apps/intel/composerxe-2011.4.191/lib/intel64/:/home/duckz/apps/gcc460/lib/
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_RUN_PATH
I still have gcc 4.4.2 installed, but it's now hidden, so gcc --version correctly yields 4.6.0. I finally tried to build my project, all went fine, but at the moment of running it I get:
Code:
./EugGame.Release.Linux: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./EugGame.Release.Linux)
I assume the correct version is the one located in ~/apps/gcc460/lib, but how do I make my project load the correct lib? Is it possible at all to have two versions of gcc on the same machine? I just found that I should've added lib64 to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of lib. Anyways, even if the problem is solved, I'd like to hear if my configuration is well made or if I should leave LD_LIBRARY_PATH unset and use some other way to override the default search path for stdlib.
Before reboot,
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 172.20.10.22
search mycomp.local myhost.com
After reboot, the search path in resolv.conf is overwritten by the hostname.
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 172.20.10.22
search penguin
Note: I have made a thread similar to this before, but the title/contents were too botched to repair.I know that using C-r you can search for past bash commands containing a particular string, but how would you search for past bash commands matching a particular regular expressionIs there a keyboard shortcut for that or do you have to use a shell command?
