When I try to log into the webgui I am getting a file to download labled "nagios". When double-clicking the file I get the error " The file /path/to/file cannot be found. Please check the location and try again".
I'm trying to setup nagios, and I've looked at several guides but none of them seem to address my problem.Here's the clearest guide that I followed URl...I followed all the instructions on that basica guide, except disabling SELinux. I changed SELinux rules based on URL...I'm not getting any AVC Denials, so that's not the problem. Nagios and Apache both start fine. If I go to my local IP, I get the standard Apache test page. URl...(address from all the guides I read) doesn't resolve.I know that Nagios is at least running from "service nagios status," and I have gotten two alerts emailed to me: swap alert (I don't have swap configured) and disk space.
I have set up nagios on Suse 11.2 and it is working fine on the localhost. I can access localhost/nagios, <ipaddress>/nagios in the browser and it loads up the nagios webinterface. If I try on a computer on the network with <ipaddress>/nagios the request times out. I have tested that I can ping to and from both machines (nagios machine and the machine I am trying to access the interface from).Some detailsNagios is running in a hyper-v VM. I installed it through yast2. Communication is run via a switch and sonicwall firewall but firewall has allow all within the network.I have a feeling it's some apache2 setting that I haven't configured or something blocking port 80.
When logging in to my user account in Fedora 12 i686 i received an error message "Could not update ICEauthority file". The file in question is in /home/janne/.
I can get into the system but several programs do not respond.
I recently updated to squeeze following the Debian release note steps, and most everything went smoothly. However, I'm now unable to get into the Nagios web interface. The service is still running and sends email notifications of issues as usual, but logging into the web interface gives me a 403 Forbidden error.
I never considered I would want to remote access my laptop, or that I would be able to figure out how (I know....). In any case, my (only) username and password are not all that complicated - just there for deterence more than anything else (I have a barely functioning battery and a FDE hard drive, so if you're going to unplug and transport this baby, it'll shut off; my hard drive PW is solid).
In any case, I wanted to create another account that I could use to log into with SSH to be able to access files. I've started by disabling SSH login to my current user account (DenyUsers myusername). I know I could add a new user to my system with its own home directory and all, but I want it as least 'present' or invasive as possible. So in sum, is there a way to create an SSH only user, and if so, how?
I thought I would check here to get some pointers, to be sure I don't mess up my system!
I am looking to send emails from cron for backup information. However, all the programs I have found (mail, mutt) require the password in plain text. Does anyone know of a more secure method? In fact, if it is only sending, is there a way to do this without logging into an account? What is the simplest way, without making it check emails too?
I need to write a bash script that will allow me to manage my "virtual network" (in reality just a bunch of directories and files). I need to obtain something like : I have my own command 'connect'. We can use it in two different modes: user and admin. If I type 'connect adashiu virtual_machine_name, computer will ask about password, if password is correct he will change a prompt to :
adashiu_at_virtual_machine_name >
after that user can start to use commands reserved only for user mode. Analogically with admin mode: prompt 'admin >' and administrator can only use bunch of commands reserved for him. changing prompt and separated commands for user and admin ?
Recently I have renovated an old computer which once belonged to my dad (the old HDD crashed, and I just bought a new one to replace it). My parents want me to fix this computer for my 5-year-old sister to use. I decided to use Linux Mint as the OS because everything (flash, mp3, etc.) is already configured.
How do I create a user account in Linux Mint with limited access for my sister, so that it won't mess up the entire system?
All she does is surf the web, so I'm just worried that she might accidentally mess up a system setting that I eventually will have to fix it.
I have just found, that my pidgin on a old debian Lenny machine does not support Yahoo as a protocol anymore. When checking out the list of accounts, the one with yahoo is now listed as (unknown). And when I wipe pidgin clean off the system, remove all configuration and reinstall is, now there is no way to register a yahoo account, it is just not listed in all the protocols. What is going on???
I have another lenny machine and I use yahoo there all the time...
My install of 11.4 has been running perfectly for for several weeks now. But- (always a but) today it started acting up. I cannot log in to any user account including Root after logging out. After a cold boot I can log in again anywhere but after logging out I have to reboot again then I can get back in to any account once. After logging out any attempted log in causes the splash screen to blank for a few seconds and then it comes back with the previous successful user name log in but typing in the password blanks the screen a few seconds again. Clicking on a user account also blanks the screen a few seconds and then it again comes back with the previous log in users name.
So Linux does an excellent job in managing rights per user. You all know the file and process management.
But is it also possible to create a virtual private network interface?
Say Linux user John Doe (jdoe) wants to test network software without being root and disturbing the real netif. Can you create an interface that belongs to jdoe only? Like eth0, eth1 and ethJdoe, making ethJdoe belonging to jdoe.

Since I have upgraded to Lucid (and thus to Mozilla 3.6.6), I am experiencing a bunch of annoyances with Mozilla.
1) logging into my GoDaddy account keeps displaying the login screen and not my accounts page (yes, I checked the password) 2) creating an account in bugzilla resulted in an "Invalid OpenID transaction" error message instead of a confirmation page 3) the [URL] page popped up a parser error instead of the website.
Midori and Mozilla 3.0.8 work just fine. Does anybody else have problems with mozilla 3.6.6 and above?
So we monitor all of our disk space, but only get pages for critical. What we would like to do is have one email sent to our team every month with all the "Warnings" for our disk. I have been searching and haven't found a way to do this. Any suggestions?
I've written an Expect script that assists with change management on Cisco devices. The script creates log files for pre-change, the change itself, and post-change. Each log and its commands is triggered by a ! command. For example:
Code:
./dochange.exp hostname <script spawns bash, user SSHes to hostname> !PRE
[code]....
All of this works fine. My big hair-pulling hiccup is that the resulting log files are filled with raw backspace characters! I am using log_file to log the output from the script. I stop and restart logging with a new file when needed. However, the log files are pretty much unusable. After doing some research, it looks like log_file sends output to the file in real-time, unbuffered. When I hit a key, it's immediately sent to the log. What I would like is for only the resulting string to go to the log. If I start to type 'reload' and instead type 'show run', I don't want 'reload' to be listed in the log at all.
I making another user account. I checked in the System Settings (in the "Computer" tab in the Kickoff Application Launcher) and found nothing. Do I need to take a closer look, or is there another way to go about doing this?
I want to create a new account (just so that I can change the uid of my current account to match my afs id)I have started out using the gui system->admin->users and group Everything seems to work but I could not login. I finally tracked ti down to the account being marked disabled. I unchecked the box in the disable account box (in the advanced settings) and apply, etc. but when i come back in it is re-checked
I tried in the command line sudo passwd -S account_name and i get back account_name P 12/27/2010 1 90 7 -1 i think the -1 means it is disabled
After struggling and googling on the internet I can't manage it to work.I have stup rsyslog to receive the logging from my firewall and it puts it into the syslog file.ut I would like to have a separate logfile for these messages.I have created the firwall.log file with owner syslog, same as for the syslog file.I already have tried to use in the /etc/rsyslog.d/10-firewall.conf the following ::msg, contains, "firewalld" /var/log/firewall.logor :msg, contains, "firewalld" -/var/log/firewall.logI don't know the difference between the "-" sign in the lines but I have seen also those kind of situations.
I also have put this line into the 50-default.conf file because I thought it wasn't seeing the 10-firewall.conf file but no work.I have added a $template HostMessages, "/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/logfile.log" in the /etc/rsyslog.conf file but neither it works.In the firewall I can see the Syslog facility is now on LOG_LOCAL0 and I can change it from LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, ... until LOCAL7What does these different numbers mean
It's been a while, I haven't used Linux since version 6 or 7, and at that time, Anaconda gave you a choice of which level of SELinux to install - as I remember, I chose the "relaxed" version... but this time, with Version 11, I was not given any choice of which level of SELinux to use. I was automatically forced into a USER (drone) account with no administrative or limited administrative capabilities. I have my administrative name and password I assigned during the Anaconda install...but I don't know how to get into the superuser or root account and execute it so that I have full, unvarnished permission to do as I please on MY machine.
First of all, let me explain - This is MY computer and I can do with it exactly as I want. I am the Aministrator and I am the one and only OWNER of this machine. Therefore, I should have automatic access to SuperUser, and if I corrupt something, that is my fault...and its my machine. Cutting through the bull, I would like someone on here to just plain tell me, without cryptic remarks, to give me a step-by-step - The is a HOW TO to access the superuser account, name and password. And - this is HOW TO create a ROOT account with superuser permissions. What I need is a one-two-three this-is-how-to-do-it.
If I mess things up, I merely reinstall Fedora again and start from scratch. I don't care if I screw things up accidentally. What does irritate me is being forced to have a "drone" account on my machine that I own, without even asking me, what I wanted..
i m not able to create new user account to my new install of 11.2 don't know whether it occured due to update problem or some installation failure. when creation a new profile through yast it gives a warning sub-domain not started and quits however a new user get added through cli but with no profile of its own. that user cant log into gui enviroment and when he/she logs through cli it automatically tranfers it profile to "/"(i.e root) i m using kde4.3
