Exactly what sequence of files are called as in the .my_profile,.profile,.vimrc,.vim. These are few files that I are there on the server. I want to know which file is called first and what sequence. Also can you point me to some links that tell exactly what are these files for.
View 1 RepliesI was looking around the files in /etc/ to see what they were and what they said, then I noticed there was two files called passwd, which confused me a lot for a second then I noticed one of them was actually passwd-.I compared them and they only differed by one line:
< games:36:35:added by portage for gemrb:/usr/games:/bin/bash, which was in passwd but not passwd-.Should these files both exist? If yes, why, what does having both do? If no, then its safe to say I can just delete passwd-
I'm trying to find that line in the init files, but I don't see anything blatantly referring to login yet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI feel there's a bit of a misunderstanding going on between C++ and me...My problem is that I have a deque of pointers to a class, and create objects then add them to the deque in a for loop. However, the destructor is called on the object as soon as the loop quits.
Code:
This prints:
Code:
Now, if I change the deque from deque<Test*> to deque<Test> then it works fine - I get:
Code:
However, I can't do this with my actual code, because I am creating a deque of pointers to an abstract class, so it won't let me instantiate the class. (This is all so that I can take advantage of polymorphism, and call functions on a set of similar objects without worrying what type of object I'm dealing with).
So, I suppose my question is: what is the correct way to create that deque of pointers to the abstract class? I don't seem to be barking up the right tree currently.
I have a script - called 'backit' - to back up files to a tarball - listed below (<backup.lst> contains files I want backed up)
#!/bin/bash
# 22/7/2010
# Backup important files
cd ~
tar cvfz .backup/backup.tar.gz -T .backup/backup.lst
cp .backup/backup.tar.gz /media/Archive/.backup
Typing 'Backit' in the shell works very well producing a backup file, <backup.tar.gz>, of 2 298 953 bytes and contains all the correct files. So far, so good! I put a line in crontab - /home/alan/bin/backit
The program runs every hour on the hour and produces the <backup.tar.gz> file. However, this file contains only some of the files and has a size of 76 762 bytes. Using "tar tvf backup.tar.gz" lists some of the files and ends with an error indicating an EOF encountered before the end of file. If the script executes correctly when typed into the shell, why does it not run to completion correctly when run by cron?

Everything was fine for years but a week ago my server got hacked.I don't know how the hacker got my username/password - it was not something like admin, password.9 months ago my PC was infected with some virus which connected to the FTP server by using password which was saved in CuteFTP and infected all index files with some javascript. Then I changed the user/FTP password and didn't save it anymore in Cute FTP. Of course, I checked all the folders and re-uploaded all infected files. Is it possible that this virus uploaded some hidden file which was able to get the new password for this account?
The server was hacked from so called Tor IP address. I am tiref of worrying about server security and now have an idea to get a static IP address from my ISP and to allow logins only from this IP address. What do you think about it? This idea looks good for me but are there any risks to lose access to the server. Can ISP provider change the static IP address for some reason?

After restarting the proftpd server and applying the configuration, I try downloading a file in IE browser. Sometimes, it prompts a saveas dialog, and everything was okay.
However, it occasionally prompts a login form instead of a SaveAs dialog. This makes our customers confused greatly.
So, how could I prevent browser from prompting login form when anonymous users try to download files from our ftp server?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to copy a file from an old directory to a new directory and ideally I would like that the 'mv' command itself could create the directory for me in one step...That is to say that the directory would not exist until 'mv' has been called as in:Code:mv olddirectory/file.dat newdirectory/file.datso mv would create the directory 'newdirectory' in the above call....I am not sure if this is possible however, that is to say I think it may be necessary that the directory 'newdirectory' already exists before I make the above call to mv, as when I make try the above call when 'newdirectory' doesn't exist I get the following error:Quote:mv: cannot move `test1/4215/4215-001R.fit' to `test2/test.fit': No such file or directoryso to sum up, my question is:is there some paramater for 'mv' that I can change so that it will create the new directory as well as copy the file and if not, are there other commands that might do this?

But now when I login to my server I don't get the server information.
1. What is it called when you move a PDF window while it is loading and the window manager does not keep up with the image, (it gets all blurry when the window is moved?)Why does this happen?
2. Why is it that when a browser window is clicked to load a new address it won't always go to it. It has to be clicked again.
3 Why is it that sometimes IE is the only browser that will work on XP. FireFox and Opera will not load a page but IE will.
4 Why is it that Firefox on Linux sometimes everything inside the window is slow to appear. It has to be closed to fix it. When the contents does appear it is all at once.
5.Why is printing different things on Linux a problem. I have a lot of inconsistency with trying to print things from Evince. Some docs print and some won't. Copying and pasting is also a problem for Evince.Why?

7. Why are some Web pages biased towards Windows. I notice that some java scripts will only run right on Windows machines with IE. A lot of on-line forms are like this.
8. Can (MOVIES, PICTURES AND MUSIC) torrents be downloaded on Linux without risk?
9. It seams that Linux browsers do not keep previous web pages in memory so if you want to go back Linux always has to reload them from the server. Why is this?
10. Why is it that browsers sometimes won't indicate that the page has finished loading, "ever".
11. Why does Linux turn on the number-lock when loading its self?
12. Why can't the brightness be adjusted in Totem? There is a menu to change it but it does not work.
I made the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
logErrors(){exec 2>/tmp/errorlogfifowhile truedocat /tmp/errorlogfifo |echo $(date "+[%Y-%m-%d %H:%m:%S]") Error: >/var/log/error.logdone}
logErrors
ls inexistentFile
exit 0
If I execute the script I see the formated error message in /var/log/error.log, as to be expected. After the script execution, I hoped "logErrors" was not executing anymore, but when, in another terminal, I call "echo something > /tmp/errorlogfifo", I still see the formated error message "something" in "/var/log/error.log". How can I finalize "logErrors" before the script ends? Or, maybe someone knows a better way to format and log the erros in a script.
I forgot to say that the file "/tmp/errorlogfifo" is a named pipe created by the command "mkfifo /tmp/errorlogfifo".

The script runs through source and ./ without issue and behaves correctly. Here is the source of the script:

View 1 Replies View RelatedBefore I begin I would like to say that while I am not a Linix newbie, I am not a guru or even a regular user so don't assume I have anything more than general Linux knowledge. I am carrying out research involving virtualization and Single Sign On technologies and I need to display a Xen based virtual machine to the desktop before the user is logged in. This is for a demonstration system and I am trying to find a solution that involves the least amount of system modification possible.I found a PAM module that allows for the invocation of arbitrary shell scripts which would allow me to start and display the virtual machine in question, but when trying to run the virt viewer (or any process with graphical output) I am informed that the display cannot be found. Explicitly setting the DISPLAY env to :0 before running the command has no effect.
This is where my Linux knowledge runs out. I know that there has to be some way to connect to the X session being used by the greeter, I just don't know what that method involves. The shell script is running with root privileges, so it can access whatever "X credentials" are stored locally.
I will be thankful for any assistance this forum might be able to provide, but please do not suggest alternatives to displaying a VM for my SSO needs, and please avoid any solution that involves having to write my own custom greeter. If there is absolutely no way to accomplish what I am trying to do without greeter modifications definitely tell me, but I am a security researcher, not a Linux developer so I am looking for the easiest solution to implement, even if that solution is a gross hack.

When I run an ldapsearch in root, it works fine. tcpdump filtered by dest IP shows packets captured.
When I run an ldapsearch in a perl script as root, it works fine. tcpdump filtered by dest IP shows packets captured.
However, when I run it via a perl script in my cgi-bin directory it fails. tcpdump shows no packets captured. When I added a "2>&1" to my ldap search in my cgi script, I got "ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)".
I ran a "whoami" in my cgi script and it showed up as apache.
Another twist to all this is that I ran the same test on my slackware box, and everything works (esp the cgi script). Here's what the specs are on that machine:

I checked the permissions on the ldapsearch file and directory, and they're the same (755).
Could there be something blocking the apache user on my Red Hat box from sending packets out?
