Situation as follows: i do su to root, then i create admin file with
cat > adminfile
then i exit from root issuing exit command
i can see following adminfile options
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 2010-06-16 16:25 adminfile
however, after executing rm adminfile it really gets removed
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 2010-06-16 16:25 adminfile
[Code]...
As i see it - others have only read permision for that file so they shouldnot be able to remove it.. :/
i just installed linux mandriva 2009. i set password for root and created a user account. when i try to login as root, after logging out as user, it does not allow me and gives the error "root logins are not allowed". even it does not show the root account. if i try to go to root from konsole terminal using su root, it allows to enter as a root but when i try to start the GUI with startx it gives error.not sure what to do and why i can't see my account in GUI mode
I have a problem where I have certain foo.tgz files that are to big to gunzip in a directory, the box that it is on has limited space in /var/tmp for all intents and purposes. I did the standard gunzip -l to see how big the file was.
How can I look in the .tgz to see what files are there and pull out only the ones that I need. tar -t foo.tgz doesn't seem to work or am I doing something wrong?
Once I do find the file how do I only extract the one file from the .tgz, remember I can't uncompress the entire foo.tgz
Something has caused me to be locked out of root; the KDE login screen now says "root logins are not allowed." It's not as though I don't know the password--I set it up. I might have deleted something I'm not supposed to, because before this, root had also become invisible at the KDE login screen.
I m new to setup the CVS in linux , i have tried lots but every time whenever i try to commit the change in module or file this error has been generated : cvs [commit aborted]: 'root' is not allowed to commit files.
How to enable Root login...i cant copy or move something on the HDD...I have administrator rights and password for root but i cant change permissions for the HDD without login on root and root login are not allowed .
whent to switch to root in KDE, and at the login attempt I got the above message.Any clue on to why?. I can logon to root from the shell, but not KDE.Will be poking around a bot more tonight and keeping an eye on here.
I have a server with 2 hard drives in raid for RHEL and 16 harddrives in raid 10 for storage. I was not allowed to have the root password just in case because "we don't give root password". A few days ago it crashed asking for root password for maintenance and had to restore the system to factory settings losing all user settings and updates (wich I paid for every year).
I'm not a linux guru but i can mount the system with a live cd, edit /etc/shadow and delete the root password but what I don't know is the consequence of deleting the root password. Can something go wrong after that? Can it have boot problems or something else? Can they set traps to prevent this?
Server is not connected to internet and it will never be.
While reading some papers on securing apache with selinux, I have tried to bind httpd to port 3000 expecting to be blocked by the selinux, since port tcp 3000 isn't on the http_port_t list. However I was able to start the service...
I'm preety sure selinux is enforcing. Also, if I bind httpd to tcp 81 selinux denies the start of the service, as expected!Did I miss something? Why is httpd allowed to start binded to a port that's not explicitly allowed?
My linux distro is CentOS 5.3. Today I edited /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root and set "READONLY" to yes, now my /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root file is like this:
# Set to 'yes' to mount the system filesystems read-only. READONLY=yes # Set to 'yes' to mount various temporary state as either tmpfs

I tried Suse five or six years ago and ran into an issue that was not comfortable to work with so I went back to windows. The problem was open spaces between words was not permitted with my music files. I have transferred all of my CDs and LPs to MP3 and have a tremendous number of them and the Suse of five years ago required I convert a title like Foggy Mountain Special.mp3 into something resembling Foggy_Mountain_Special.mp3
I don't care to convert literally a hundred thousand titles to fit the latter format. Does the current version of Suse allow the use of spaces between the words or is the 'no open space' convention still required?
Got this message when trying to login as root on a machine running 11.2. Isee it has also appeared on another machine running 11.2. So far, 11.3 isfree of this malady.

[Sun Feb 21 16:36:01 2010] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Symbolic link not allowed: /home/server/public_html/files/8/9x7s9tjosopkzb/rzr-prot - BoosterKing - .iso as you see , it says not allowed
but for files smaller then 4GB is it fine (i tryed it out to 1 GB files and they are fine )
the script i use is a download script and it creates symbolic links to hide the real location of the file and to limit the download to 1 ip only (its a download script :P)
When I ls -l /etc/passwd, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root /etc/passwd When I login as myself, and rm /etc/passwd, it asks: rm: remove write-protected file '/etc/passwd'? If I say yes, will it actually delete the passwd file?
I work for a company that makes portable devices running Linux and I was recently asked to make the underlying file system read-only for "security" purposes. Since the distribution is based on LinuxFromScratch, I know that very little writing happens at run time. So, even if the device runs on a usb flash device, I doubt that putting the root file system RO will be that beneficial. I am actually more concerned about a process actually breaking because it cannot open a file in RW mode than a process going rogue and filling the root file system with log files, etc. I'd really like to ear what kind of advantages disadvantages there really is with read-only file-systems.
Its my first post in here so please be patient I am trying to use regex in perl script to detect allowed words from the file and then print output to the screen.

I installed the wrong file and now I would like to remove it. It was one of those .tar.gz files you have to install with ./configure, make, make install.I suspect files were installed all over the place.Is there a utility for removing a .tar.gz file ?

What is your favorite font that is available for Linux (anything but M$ fonts)? They can be monospaced or non-monospaced, unlike the font thread in General that only accepts monospaced ones. However, they *must* be Linux fonts; no M$ or Apple fonts allowed.
I have a RHEL FTP server, which i'm told is setup to only allow certain IPs to connect to the FTP site. I have two questions though.1) what file would show what IPs are currently allowed?2) what command do I do to add another IP to it?
