While googling for soft link and hard link i found this part
Code:
{
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("some.hidden.file","w");
unlink("some.hidden.file"); /* deletes the filename part */
/* some.hidden.file no longer has a filename and is truely hidden */
fprintf(fp,"This data won't be found
"); /* access the data part */
[Code]...
I am running RHEL 5.4 Server (32-bit) and have my audit.rules file set up per a template that I am required to use. There is one particular rule that audit is auditing the unlink of files. With this set, my log files are filling up very fast, as there is a particular app that constantly touches/ deletes a couple of files, which the unlink is catching. Here is the audit rule:-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S unlink -S unlinkat -S rename -S renameat -F auid>=500 -F auid!=4294967295 -k deleteI commented out the "-S unlink" and my logging returns to normal (as expected). For right now, I was wondering if there was a way to set this rule up to exclude these couple of files from what auditd is capturing?

I installed Minecraft and I want to hide the .JAR extension on the file on my desktop. I tried just renaming it and deleting the ".jar" from the name, but when I tried opening it, it opened as an archive, rather than an executable, even though I had the "Allow executing file as program." box checked off. What can I do to hide the extension?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have a UNIX script with a function that uses a username and password to connect to the database, retrieve some information and then exit. At the moment, am getting the username and password from a hidden plain text file and permission set to -r--------, i.e. read only to who own the file. The owner of the file is the same owner of the script. At the moment, am not too overly concern as the script works as it is but I want to know if anyone have a suggestion if there is any better way of achieving the same thing with some "form" of security, i.e., for example, masking the username/password.
Basically, I want to be able to mask or hide the username or password in some way. I've thought about encryting the password file, which is in plain text, using simple crypt command from which I retrieve the username and password but I need to decrypt it as well which is sort of similar to how it will be as it is now once it is decrypted. Is there anyway that I can get a username and password in some gibberish format and then translating them into something usable which can be passed on the next command that requires the username/password.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want a quick and simple way to execute a command whenever a file changes. I want something very simple, something I will leave running on a terminal and close it whenever I'm finished working with that file. Currently, I'm using this: while read; do ./myfile.py ; done And then I need to go to that terminal and press Enter, whenever I save that file on my editor. What I want is something like this: while sleep_until_file_has_changed myfile.py ; do ./myfile.py ; done
Or any other solution as easy as that. BTW: I'm using Vim, and I know I can add an autocommand to run something on BufWrite, but this is not the kind of solution I want now.
