I Have been trying to change a file in filestarter using sudo /etc/rsyslog.conf. but am getting a permission denied message. How do I get into this file to change it ? Firestarter is working ok but for some reason it cannot open the system log. I Have found what amendments need to be made to get this to work but simply cannot get access to the file
View 2 RepliesIf I try the sudo mv command on the file listed below I get the error listed. I am confused. It is my file & I have permissions. Somehow a slew of files on my system are now showing this way. This seems to correspond when I ran rsync from my netbook to sync it up with my desktop where I am having a problem.
Potential Source ->
sudo rsync -av --delete --rsh=ssh joe@192.168.1.4:/media/Abyss/Memories/ /home/joe/Pictures/
Type of issue ->

I am installing oracle 11g on Oracle enterprise Linux 5 i applied all the steps in doc [URL] when trying to switch user to user oracle i am facing the below

I have a CGI script that when called runs another script as a different user. Yet when the script does run I keep getting a permission denied in the logs and the script fails
In the sudoers file-
Defaults env_reset
www-data ALL=(charly) NOPASSWD=ALL
For the full question-
When looking at /etc/sudoers there is the defaults line that you can add things to. When doing a sudo -L so that I can see what I can put on that defaults line. Can an individual user have specific defaults? Ones that don't effect the rest of the people in /etc/sudoers?
I am administoring a few websites and the latest website to be deployed has a few "unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: " errors in the apache-error log.
That is fine, becuase the directory doesnt contain a .htaccess file.
Is there a setting whereby I can turn off this error ?
I dont want to turn off checking for .htaccess files because some directorys have this file and use it.
I am trying to put a file from one linux machine to my other linux machine. There is absolutely no problem in downloading the file i.e. performing the "get" operation but when I try to upload or "put file" from my host1 to host2 it throws error "Error 0 Permission denied". I am able to put files from host2 to host1 without any problem but not from host1 to host. Infact if I try to tftp even localhost on host2 it throws the same error. Here is my
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp file for host2
service tftp {
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -c -s /tftpboot
#disable = yes
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
And permissions on /tftpboot are 777
[root@LinuxServer /]# ls -ld /tftpboot/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan 6 05:21 /tftpboot/
[root@LinuxServer /]# ls -l /tftpboot/
total 16
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 6 06:16 new_test
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 5 06:02 test2
And the command which I am using is :
[root@LinuxServer /]# tftp localhost -c put new_test
Error code 0: Permission denied
And ya here is /etc/sysconfig/selinux file is as under :
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
I am attempting to make a backup copy of a file, but every time I try to copy the file, I get a "permission denied error -- even when running as root. The file is on a volume mounted as /media/Data . No problems reading/writing other files on the volume.
Here is the info on the file:
-rw-------. 1 root MailServer.img
I've tried chown but get the permission denied as well. This is a virtual machine image that runs fine, but even with the VM completely shut down, I get the same error.

I am wondering why running this file:
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1247 2010-04-21 18:25 autorun.sh

./autorun.sh
results in this message:

I'm logged in as root and prior to the above I did a chown root:root on the file.
I am trying to create:

nano 95xinput
I type my text and when I try to save it it says that permission is denied.
Trying to use tcpdump -r TEST, and get permission denied, even though I am logged in as root or super user. Tried using the "chmod a+rw TEST" (any other file for that matters, yes it came from another source) and get permission denied.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a new file system (fuse) which works fine and is mounted in the local host. I want to be able to mount it from another host. I added it to /ect/exports: /mnt/ltfs *(rw,sync) And restarted nfs. Then from my client host I type:
mount -t nfs myHostName:/mnt/ltfs /mnt/data1
Where /mnt/ltfs is on my local host and /mnt/data1 is on the client host. Note that this is a "FUSE" file system so here is it's local "mount" output: ltfs on /mnt/ltfs type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,default_permissions,allow_other) Note thet this is of type "ltfs" but I am told that it should work like its a nfs. ltfs uses fuse under the covers.
I am having problems gaining access to the BackupPC admin web page. The error:

Why is this occuring, is there anyway of getting around this? I just cant remember originally on my old system how I set this up.
I would like to change the dialogue that says "permission denied" when something has to be done as root or that user does not have permission to do something. Is this at all possible? (Also, not really sure which category this should be in, that's why it's here)
View 1 Replies View RelatedA few days ago I tried to install a driver for a Brother printer (HL-5040) in terminal mode by issuing "sudo dpkg -i --force-all hl5040lpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb" on my Ubuntu 9.10 PC.
During the process several error messages were displayed. All of them say "permission denied" to access a directory /etc/init.d/lpd. Consequently, the installation failed and Synaptic package manager does not work any more and becomes broken.
Questions: Why did I get "permission denied" as a su? How can I get around the problem so I can re-install the driver?

It's got something to do with AppArmor.
I don't think it is installed on this system:

Is the syntax above correct?
I'm trying to copy /file.txt from local machine, to server with userMan

If I am not the file' owner or root, can I use chmod to change the file permission?
Assume I have group/write access to the file, e.g. 775
My cd /boot/grub/ shows (required only file shown): -r--r--r-- grub.cfg
I tried to change the permission of this via, chmod u+w grub.cfg but the file permission did not change why??
How can I change the file permission of grub.cfg?
I have a c file, and I want to open it but not in the terminal. After changing the permission, I tried: vi, pico, ed and vim. But, all open it in the terminal. How can I change the permission of that file to be opened and edited not in the terminal? When I change the permission from the terminal, it only let me edit it through the terminal, and when I check the permission of the file I see it as was it (no change). I need a permanent permission. Although, I command as a root.
