I recently installed a printer on my OpenSuse 11,2. Now every time i start the computer it prompts for the root password.
In the window that pops up it states
/opt/Xerox/PSULauncher: session followd by a long string of letters and numbers.
There is a script "uninstall.sh" in the PSULauncher directory that i ran but it didn't fix the problem.
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 understand at least some of the advantages of this multi-user set-up, but why would you have to become root to stick a DVD in the machine? I suppose I could go into root and chmod the mount command, but - why would it have been set up that way at all? Is it paranoia?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwant to run VirtualBox with root permissions. Trouble is that only when run as root i can access attached USB devices inside of a virtual machine, otherwise, these a greyed out).Now running VirtualBox as a root user also changes the configuration folders, making all my virtual machines already defined disappear. I also don't want to copy all to the root configuration folders. Is there a way to give the VirtualBox root permissions but without actually running the application as a root user. Is it possible to do without changing the permissions of the non-root user, i.e. i don't want my user to have all root permissions, due to security considerations.

I just noticed on my Ubuntu machine (ext3 filesystem) that removing write permissions from a file does not keep root from writing to it. Is this a general rule of UNIX file permissions? Or specific to Ubuntu? Or a misconfiguration on my machine? Writing to the file fails (as expected) if I do this from my normal user account.Is this normal behavior?Is there a way to prevent root from accidentally writing to a file (Preferably using normal filesystem mechanisms, not AppArmor, etc.)
I understand that root has total control over the system and can, eg, change the permissions on any file.My question is whether currently set permissions are enforced on code running as root. The idea is the root user preventing her/himself from accidentally writing to a file. also understand that one should not be logged in as root for normal operations.
I logged in my system as root. but when i run a simple shell script i got an error like . Permission Denied. why m getting this error.

I'm running 2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686 on Gnome 2.32.0. I've been trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to Suspend the system when activated, but it doesn't work because to suspend the system you need to be root. The command I've been using for the shortcut is terminal "pm-suspend".I don't wanna set up the working user as root. Is there any way to get around the root authentication while suspend to make the shortcut work?

I am trying to write a script that will create a directory, copy files to it, zip them, move the zip file to the desktop and clean up.However, when I run the script, it comes back stating that I do not have permission to make the directory.

I have a system in which I do not have root access to. On that system, I have my own directory which I share with other users. I am trying to clean it up when I noticed that there was a subdirectory created by another users in my group that I cannot delete. It has all the permissions set besides global write. How can I delete this folder without root permission? I can't even chmod or chown it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Debian Kit on my Asus Nexus 7 tablet, and after following the installation tutorial I got it running except for I'm stuck on the step to create a new user. (btw link: [URL] .... )
Here's how it went (I can't copy&paste from my tablet so I have to type out everything...):
Code: Select allroot@android-6c40984c21c156ae:/# adduser paul374
Adding user `paul374' ...

So since I read somewhere that selinux had some permission problem, so I did a few chcons:
Code: Select allchcon --user=u --role=r --type=init --range=s0 /etc/passwd
chcon --user=u --role=r --type=init --range=s0 /etc/shadow
chcon --user=u --role=r --type=init --range=s0 /etc/gshadow
And it did take effect:
Code: Select allroot@android-6c40984c21c156ae:/# ls -Z | grep passwd
u:r:init:s0 passwd
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 passwd-
root@android-6c40984c21c156ae:/# ls -Z | grep shadow
u:r:init:s0 gshadow
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 gshadow-
u:r:init:s0 shadow
u:object_r:unlabeled:s0 shadow-
...but still same thing as what happened in the beginning...
Anyway my goal is to create and be able to log in to another user so that I'm not stuck running root all the time. (Which, as we all know, is a bad idea.)
If there's a way to manually create the user by editing a few files, and root still won't be able to change passwords, I'm fine with that, as long as I have another user. Whatever it takes to just get a non-root user log-in-able...

Every time I try to open Nautilus it requires root permission even if I don't use commands like gksudo.
I launch it from docky's bookmarks applet, requires root.
Use a command like "nautilus /home/harvey" it still requires root.
Adding the file browser launcher to docky doesn't even LAUNCH nautilus.
But launching file browser from gnome-panel works O_O.
But I never use gnome-panel, so I'd like to be able to launch it from docky and commands and stuff without root permission.
I have the following line in my fstab:
Code:

When I plug in the drive with this UUID, I get the following error:
Code:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at [URL] Is there any way that I can mount this drive (which must be ntfs-formatted) without root permissions? I have googled this error and it seems that many other people are having this same problem, but I can't find a real solution. Most people suggest just reformatting the drive.
i want to give some permission to non root users so that they can mount drives without need of root password.
