2.how to install total packages by using repository through yum command what are the steps to update and remove the packages
I am bulding my own image based on 2.6.32 kernel, I wish to add a guest user:
In a script thats invoked by the makefile, I use 'useradd' command & this updates the shadow, passwd files under /etc on the host, is it possible to tell the command to create the shadow / password under some other folder on the host? may be /tmp?
the permissions for my home directory were accidentally changed from 'access files' to 'create and delete files', and I changed them back, but ever since then I am not able to change any preferences/settings at all. power management, themes, panels, emerald, anything. my user account is supposed to be the administrator, and all the user privliges are checked. how to get control of my computer back?
Well my local LUG has developed a cooperation with the university. Their major is music. So we would like to develop a local repository to help the updates to be faster. I checked the How to set up a local Yum Repository on Fedora 8. I guess it's same with 12. My questions are:
1. How much space do we need?
2. Since we might setup repository for another distro, is it a way to be done with other distro? The above address describes only how to make it in Fedora.
3. Since we'll have it installed and will be usefull for the university, can we make it available to the rest of the world? Maybe contact someone for this.
i am in need of linux help. iam at college and i need this back/restore script to pass this final part of an assessment. i require a backup script that will not only backup but also restore files to the relevent directories. e.g. users are instructed to store all wordprocessor files in a directory named wp. so i am needing to create a backup directory and 3 directories within that and some files within the 3 directories and then back them up ot restore them. l know i should/have to do this myself by been trying to get/understand info for the last few days and came up with zero.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
I was asked to come up with a solution to get updates to our linux computers on a classified network. I was told to create a local YUM repository and have the clients connect to it. -- Simple right. No at least not to me. The last time I worked with linux was back on WS3, things have changed. So let me explain my situation. I have various Red Hat Linux versions -- 5.1, 5.4 & 5.5 that are not connected to the internet and never will be. I need a way to grab updates for those versions and load them.
I have one linux RHEL 5.5 with paid subscription that is allowed to be connected to the internet.I was going to use this one as my repository to download the packages I need, disconnect from the internet and have my "blessed" machines access it through an nfs share. Possible solutions were to create a local YUM repository, set up a mirror or perhaps red hat satellite (which may or may not coast more money.) I need an easy to step by step guide or what would be the best solution.
I'm using OpenSSH 5.5p1 on Fedora 15. I'm trying to get a chrootDirectory to work. Specifically trying to figure out why I can't write files to a sub-directory of the chroot directory. I created a user test_user and created a group called sftp. I added test_user to the sftp group. I edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config as follows:
Code:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match group sftp ChrootDirectory /home/sftp_users/%u X11Forwarding no
I try to run in php script.. ================ shell_exec("ssh admin@192.168.1.13 reboot"); =============== in php....I have put the key on server...
i can ssh server without a password.. i got "Could not create directory ssh... " error message from that php script... if i did "ssh admin@192.168.15 reboot" from shell it works ok....
I have a centos 5.4 64-bit machine. I installed the directory server following those steps. I then added some users using the Centos Management Consolecentos-idm-console -a http://localhost:3890 &
The only thread on creating a contact sheet appears to be years old & locked:- (photography) how to create a single jpg /tif contact sheet? So may I ask what's the most common method today of creating a set of contact sheets of a directory of, say, 500 photos (on Ubuntu 10.04 lucid)? The only thing I really want to specify is the grid (e.g., 4 photos by 6 photos, or something like that).
i'm using ftp server with RHEL-5.1 now i wish to an anonymous user can create and upload some file on my ftp server...for this i configure the entries in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
anonymous_enable=YES # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES
I have just configured a Directory Server and I have been able to login using the credentials as a Directory Manager on the server.
I am working on the server through VMWare.
After logging into the server, when I am trying to add a user, say "user1" I am unable to do so, in the name of the user name field, all I can see is a "u" and not the complete user name, the same thing happens in case I try to setup a password, so i really don't know whether the password that I am setting up is being accepted or not.
Also while trying to add a user, i can see the logs running in the background on the terminal, that a java program is running as I typing or clicking on any button.
Can someone suggest me what to do to proceed ahead, I know its a strange issue, but I have to do it.

I am using NIS and I want to replace this with 389 ds. I have installed 389 ds and configured it. I could create user account from 389-console. But it does not create user home directory. Do I have to create user account and user home directory in linux first?
I was installing yum from the server folder. first i copied the server folder in a folder which was at root then i change the current directory to server and then create a repo by using following command
Server]# rpm ivh createrepo then tab to get the correct name then ]# createrepo . ]#cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ ]# cp -apr rhel_debug_info.repo yum.repo ]# vi yum.repo
[Code]...
how can i completely install the yum so that i can install my necessary packages
I'm trying to build a cups server (with cups-pdf) and it's not printing (creating) the PDF output. from cups-pdf log:
Code:
[ERROR] failed to create directory (/home/testuser/PDF) [ERROR] failed to create user output directory (/home/testuser/PDF)
the lp command is being ran from SSH as "testuser", who is in the lpadmin group (as well as sysadmin, users, and about 5 other groups while troubleshooting this) I've tried creating the PDF folder as both the user, and as root but still no output file (when the folder is created the first error goes away, but the user output error remains) *note, the /home directory is a symbolic link to a separate partion (/storage) I'm still a bit green on linux, but the server is headless, and for now i'm just trying to get normal users able to print using cups-pdf
here's my cupsd.conf
Code:
# # # Sample configuration file for the CUPS scheduler. See "man cupsd.conf" for a # complete description of this file.
I have uShare 1.1a setup to talk to my XBox 360. If I share a directory that has no subdirectories, the video files display on the XBox. However, most of my files are in sub-directories on a different partition - I don't really want to copy them to the share, but uShare doesn't seem to recognise any sub-directories or files contained therein.
I have tried setting up symbolic soft links directly to the video files (although this is a pain, it is better than moving the files)...
Code: ln -s /home/jonftp/TV-Shows/Buffy/Season-1/Buffy-101.avi /home/share/Buffy-101.avi ...but these don't show up on the XBox either.
How can I get uShare to "drill down" the directory structure to list the files or how can I get uShare to follow symbolic links?
I want to run a cronjob every 15 minutes that checks a directory for files. If the directory contains more than ten files I want it to send an email to me.
All I have is this...
*/15 * * * * ls -l | wc -l | [filename] | mail -s "This is just a test" [email address]
I would rather not write a bash script. Is there an easier way to do this? I was looking into some commands like find and grep.
I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively
I have proftpd @ Ubuntu 9.04 server. It authenticates users via Auth file, e.g. those are "FTP only" users, not real linux users. Each of them has assigned home dir in the same auth file. They also get Chrooted into it, e.g. default dir is ~ in proftpd.conf They can connect and download files successfully, however, they cannot upload anything or create directory: 550 permission denied error.
When I login via ssh and change user to proftpd user, I can create directories in that particular place, so I guess it's not Linux permissions problem? Or is it? /var/log/daemon.log is the place where proftpd stores its logs, but I cannot find anything relevant there
If I have a directory /foo with a few files in it, how do I symlink each entry in /foo into /bar/? For instance, if /foo has the files a, b and c, I want to create three symlinks:
Edit: The url works if I leave out "repomd.xml" at the end; and the repomd.xml is exactly in that folder? i have downloaded the file but don't know how to use it.
In Elastix, I get to amportal.conf via the /etc/ director. The file tells you:

It appears that AMPADMINLOGO=logo.png is calling out to something that is not there. I can't even find AMP directory. See below. Do I need to create a directory? This is the result of an ls -F at my /etc/ dir:
