I've installed OpenSUSE on my server and want to set ssh to log every command, which is send to system over it.
I've found this in my sshd_config:
I guess that both of those directives has to be uncommented, but I'd like to log every command, not only authorization (login/logout via SSH). I just want to know, if someone breaks into my system, what did he do.
I'm trying to create a user account for my children in Ubuntu 10.04
When creating their account, I have turned off the 'Connect to ethernet and wireless' option of the Advanced Settings.
However, when I log into their accounts, they still have full access to the internet through both the wireless and ethernet connections. Is this option for some other purpose?
Is there an alternate way to limit internet access for childrens' accounts in Ubuntu? (I'm used to MS Family Safety as a filter for internet access - is there an eqivalent for Ubuntu?)
Let:Source directory is /x/y/z/src:
Destination is /x/y/z/dst,

I have been trying to get the advanced graphics for compiz, emerald, and cairo dock working for a few days now, but alas, I have failed horribly. I tried to uninstall compiz and emerald a few days ago (stupidly) and since then, these problems have arisen. I tried seeking help on ubuntuforums.org, but they were unable to help. You can see the entire thread at the following link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1694800&page=2
If you want a detailed list of everything I've done, you can go to that site, but here's a summary: I entered a series of code that I was lead to believe would eradicate compiz from my system so that I could go through with a full reinstallation. However, the result was that I now can't load any advanced graphics from emerald, compiz or cairo dock. I've tried reinstalling the entire operating system, but I'm getting the same problem. I also tried a live CD for 10.10, but with the same results.
I don't know if this is a relevant piece of information, but one thing of note is that I typed "compiz --replace" into the terminal and got the following:
Code:
WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug!

WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXDestroyPixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported! This is an application bug!
Again, I don't know if that helps at all, but there it is...

I am pondering on what would be any implications in logging in via SSH as root?Surely SSH is safe or am I kidding myself and falling for the unwary ethic of logging into a remote Linux box as root?I discovered some open ports remotely on the linux box, and decided to login as root to edit a configuration file to shut off the ports, hence my questioning in whether logging in as root...another point, since SSH is 'supposedly secure', there should not be any implications or am I kidding myself!??? Would it be better to login as normal user then su from there?
Ok, to make things even more interesting, what if its a bog standard generic linux distribution with no suid programs etc, then what happens...take that out of the picture, and say, for editing a configuration file...hackers are not going to see that are they, otherwise by the sound of the answers, it is putting an impression that hackers can see the traffic the minute you login as root?! Otherwise why bother using SSH? I mean, surely, SSH was designed to replace telnet and thereby increase protection...as we all know back in the early 90's before the internet became publicly available, that there was indeed sysadmins dialing in to private networks or telnet'ting into a remote system as root....
Is there a way to get Linux to log all of the output that you see on the screen at boot?
It would sure beat having to dig through all of the different log files trying to find what was seen while it was booting.
I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5. In this whenever a user process crashes due to segmentaion faults , it was not logged in /var/log/messages. Even dmesg is also not showing any messages related to this.
Where as in another distributions(Cent OS 5) I've seen segfaults messages in /var/log/messages whenever my user process crashed.dmesg also showing the segfaults.
Is there any settings that to enabled so that it logs segfaults into /var/log/messages.
I cross checked /etc/syslog.conf of both the systems. Both are same and even /etc/sysconfig/syslog files.
When i log in any time,the applications which was left open before the last time i logged in,opens autometically.I have closed all applications and rebooted my PC but i find no difference.

I want to login to my company's server (remote) from my room. I have the server address, so I use this command to login :
Code:
#ssh root@X.X.X.X
It waits for a very long time and then returns with error connection timed out port 22.
I configured these settings in the remote server :
Code:
#/etc/init.d/iptables stop
Then I connect via ssh from my home but still the same error.
Then in the config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I uncomment the line : ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
I connect via ssh again from home but still the same error.
The connection is not denied in hosts.deny and hosts.allow.
How do I get the connection up and running?
when you log in through the terminal as root, you get a question if you want to apply the proxyconfiguration or not.
I have done this by changing the .bash_profile of the root-user:
Code:
I have adapted rsyslog with the following:
Code:
But it doesn't work. The messages have to be written to the logfile by using the logger-command.
I would like to log into my router to get the status page programmatically. I have a dynamic IP address and need to update my dynamic dsl service. The router will not display its address with traceroute (all I get is * * *. Once I am logged into the router I can retrieve the status page with wget and parse the resulting file. I cannot seem to get logged into it with wget. Does anyone know how this might be done? If I posted the HTML page that I log into (from wget of the login page) could someone tell me what I need to code. The router is a Trendnet TEW-652BRP. I can get it off the internet but if my connection is down it will fail.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an oracle database that is getting file i/o errors. I don't think it is the fault of oracle, but the nfs mounted filesystems. So ... to troubleshoot my next step is to see if Linux is having trouble with i/o. These are nfs mounted and there are many files located on the filesystem which is having the error. The error only occurs on one file.Does anyone know how to turn on logging for any errors received? I assume I need need logging for nfs daemon, but not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a linux machine and installed some softwares on it with root user privileges . I used to login with root user credentials for doing the various task.
Later i have realise that this is not the best practice to follow and there should be a new user with less privileges to be created for doing the day to day task.
I have read the steps to create the user but will that new user sufficient enough to do the task that i m doing it through root user?
Will my software allow the new user to work on them?
I would be glad if someone points me to a guidelines on what should be my next step?

I would like to know if it's possible to create a continual log for a network interface card's status. That is whether it's up or down and time and date stamped if possible.I'm wondering if there is a cli command that exists to do this I've looked at "ethtool" but this only sets the parameters of the nic.Also looked at the log files that I could find /dev/log var/log, but there is no mention of a status for eth0.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having problems logging into my SME Linux server from a new Windows 7 machine. It sees the server on the network, but does not seem to be passing the windows login through to the Linux server (which is how all of the XP machines log in). When I try to log in using a valid username and password it goes nowhere and just says it is an invalid username and/or password. I had a Vista machine that could log into this Linux server so I do not think the Samba version is the problem.

My objective is pretty simple: To have a variable within a bash script where I can switch between logging to file or screen.
Simple example of what I am trying to do:
Code:
So, as you can see, I have a variable which clears the log path if the user variable vLOG is not 'Y'. This should mean the user can run the script from the command line and view all the output (instead of it going to a log file).
The problem is that with the final line of the script (which ultimately tests the intention), I don't get the required result as the vLOGPATH variable is just passed to echo as text.
I have tried using 'echo -e' and getting some backslashes in there, I have tried using eval but I am either using them incorrectly.
