General :: Why Can't Make Symlink Except As Root
Mar 13, 2010In my MIDI music collection, I have a "best" folder with duplicate copies of only my favorite files. Recently I thought, why waste memory with duplicates--can't I just put symlinks in the "best" folder? So I tried to, in Konqueror. It would only let me make the symlinks from the Konqueror superuser account.

Oct 28, 2010Have you used dropbox to sync your mail dirs? Was it a disaster? ... ? I have been using dropbox to sync across three ubuntu machines (two with 9.04, one with 10.04) and a windows vista machine, for about six months. I've seen a couple of oddities but am basically very happy with it. I pay for their 50GB store.
For email I use mutt and download (fetchmail) separately onto two of the ubuntu machines, outside the dropbox folders. It's a bit irritating maintaining two different mail dirs, but it does make for more security. I'm now thinking about putting the mail dirs into the dropbox folder. But if something then goes wrong with the syncing, it will be serious.
General :: Make Sudo Ask For The Root Password?
Jul 9, 2010When I run sudo as a normal unprivileged user, it asks for my password, not the root password. That's often convenient, but it reduces the amount of information someone would have to have in order to run commands as root. So how can I make sudo ask for the root password instead of the invoking user's password? I know it'd be done with a line in /etc/sudoers, but I can never seem to properly parse the BNF grammar in the man page to figure out exactly what to write.
View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Make A File Read-only Even For Root?
Jun 2, 2010Remember back in the days of MS-DOS, a file could have 4 different attributes: archive, read-only, hidden, system. As you know, MS-DOS didn't have any user rights or privileges. Files had no owner. If you were at the command line, you could do whatever you wanted, you could change or delete any files you wanted to... so long as they weren't read-only. Under MS-DOS, if you had a read-only file and tried to delete it, you would get an error saying "Cannot delete read-only file". There was a simple remedy to this, just turn off the read-onlyness:
Code:
attrib -r hello.txt
The point I'm trying to make here is that even though you had full permissions over the file, you still had to turn off its read-onlyness before you could make a change. Well I'm trying to do something similar in Linux. Under Linux, the root user has full permissions over every file. But I need to make a particular file read-only so that not even the root user can alter it. I have a few programs on my computer that need to be run as root because they do some low-level networking (raw sockets and the like), and these programs alter my "/etc/resolv.conf" file. Well I need to find a way of making my "/etc/resolv.conf" file READ-ONLY, even for the root user. It doesn't seem as though the Linux filesystem provides a means of doing this, reason being that the root user will always be able to alter any file it wants to. I was thinking though... there's some way I could turn my "/etc/resolv.conf" file into a virtual file of some sort, like maybe I could use some sort of mount program to mount the file as read-only... ?

Mar 4, 2011I need to change a filename but when I boot up I get the message root device is read-only. Is there a way of changing this so that I can change the filename. I have a Mac Pro running Leopard OSX. The graphics card an NVIDIA 7500GT or driver has failed. It was suggested elsewhere that I change the relevant kext files to filename.kext.old, which I did, now when I try to boot start in OSX I get a message in various languages telling me to restart. I have tried booting in safe mode and from original Installation CD. In Safe Mode I get the same multi language splash screen, from CD I still have the graphic card problem, screen freezes and artifacts appear. So I boot up straight into CLI by holding down CMD-S hoping to be able to change filenames back but it says device read-only.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Make A Shell Script Run With Root AND Non-root Priveledges?
Jul 28, 2010I have a bit of a dilemma.
I'm using XFCE and it doesn't by default lock the screen before hibernating. I see this as a bit of a security risk, and as I can't hibernate while the screen is locked, I'm a bit lost as to how to achieve this.
I've begun editing /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, here's what I have so far code...
If I run with sudo, the system hibernates, but gnome-screensaver will not fire. I can verify this by trying "sudo gnome-screensaver-command --lock". The screen goes black, but is not locked. The screen locks properly without sudo.
So the only solution I can see is to edit /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh in such a way that gnome-screensaver-command runs under the current user, and pm-hibernate is called as root.
Also, when I click the HIBERNATE button in XFCE, how does it call pm-hibernate under root without prompting me for a password? I normally wouldn't be interested in such things, but as it seems relevant to my problem I'm a little more eager to learn
General :: Mutt Nested Mailboxes Navigation Possible?
Feb 18, 2010I receive a lot of emails daily, and with the ever-growing amount of maildirs I'm in need to structure/optimize the browsing in mutt. My maildirs follow this naming scheme: .domain.category.sub_category
My goal is to break domain, category and sub_category into nested levels when browsing through the mailboxes. This is sort of achieved through the use of imap. But I stumble upon a few snags, so my questions are:
Is this nested mailboxes view possible by directly accessing ~/Mail and not using IMAP?
E.g. set folder="~/Mail" and set spoolfile="~/Mail/.INBOX"
When I start mutt I'm presented with all mailboxes available, which is what I want to get away from. I want to get directed directly into my default/main inbox like I do when accessing ~/Mail directly. How?
When hitting c (a defined macro, see configuration below) I again get presented with all the mailboxes available, and not the mailboxes at the current browsing level, e.g. mailboxes containing a specific category. To get this view I need to hit c+TAB. I've solved this by adding a <tab> to the c macro's. When finally getting mutt to present me mailboxes in nested levels they are only enumerated and not annotated with N, indicating new mail, or even better, total number of new mails in or under a folder. I know it's possible to define format on the different views, but is there one for this view? If so, which?
My mutt configuration:
set autoedit
set edit_headers
set reverse_name
set from='blapp'
set realname='Blapp'
set use_from .....
# Automatic viewing of html mail, but always prefer text/plain
set implicit_autoview
alternative_order text/plain text/html

May 14, 2010Recently I tried to install Fedora 12 x86_64 to my laptop. I ran the live fedora image from my cooldisk and then pressed "Install to Hard Drive" from live desktop. Then I went forward until I reached the partitioning section. Though I had ~28GB free space in my Harddrive, but it says: "Could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disks." You can see my steps until reaching this problem in these 3

I captured these steps by using Fedora 12 Live printscreen tool. I tried to install Fedora12 from its non-bootable DVD too, but no difference! So there's only 2 situations:
1. I did something wrong -> install Fedora and use its partitioning tool.
2. There's a bug in Fedora -> confirm that this is a bug and say me an alternative way to install fedora.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Make Initrd That Contains Root File System?
May 19, 2010I am attempting to PXE boot Redhat 5.4 and load the OS into RAM. Here is how far I have gotten so far:
I have successfully configured my DHCP, TFTP, and PXE servers. The PC that is booting up Redhat 5.4 is able to get a DHCP IP address from the server, grab the kernel and initrd from the TFTP server, and boot up from there. I have this setup working if I store the root file system on a NFS share on the server and use the kernel's NFSROOT parameter. Long story short, I now need to get this same setup working without using NFS if possible. I have spent several hours google searching how to create a RAM disk (initrd) that also contains the root file system. I must be searching the wrong keywords. Anyway, based on what I have read so far, I need to do the following:
1. I need to pass different kernel parameters. It needs to look something like:
2. It seems like newer versions of initrd are created using the cpio tool. So would this simply be a matter of booting to my hard drive that has Redhat 5.4 loaded on it and running:
To create the RAM disk with a root file system attached to it? I have a feeling it has to be more complicated than that but I just cannot find any sites that specifically explain what would be involved with creating an initrd file that can also be used as the root file system.
3. Would I need to modify the init script (many sites call it "linuxrc") at all in order to accomplish what I want to do? For example, I found this site:[url]
My understanding of this page is that you have to create a linuxrc script that basically does the work of decompressing the file system into /dev/ram0 and mounting it to /root. Is something like this actually needed?
4. The kernel must have certain parameters set such as enabling RAM disk support.
I have most of this setup working. I just need to figure out how to basically store the contents of the OS on the TFTP server and then tell the kernel to load that OS into memory. Based on what I have read, this should be possible (otherwise, how do Live CD's work?).

This certificate belongs to:

I choose "accept always", but the same message appears next time. I do not wish to have a certificate requirement for MUTT and did not intentionally set the program up to include this feature. How can I get rid of it? My second choice would be to get a new certificate, but then I have to go through this every year. I have MUTT working on two other servers and this does not happen.
