I was observing the following behaviour:
py script:
os.mkdir(path) #all OK
operations_that_take_10hrs_to_complete()
os.mkdir(path) # permission denied

Is there a way to drop privileged sudo rights? a schellscript or applet?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have joined the domain (server 2003) and can log in consistently now. Now I would like to give all the windows users in on specific group (domain power users) SUDO rights on the machines in question. I have found one way to add users on a pr. user basis, but adding 30 users will take some time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have setup a VPS server, created two accounts to two domains respectively, and in one account I built a tool to manage other accounts. I have been rigorously researching and found information, however not implemented yet, about granting apache sudo rights through an interface on one account, so that it can execute scripts as root to manage installations in other accounts. what I mean this is my tool will use 'rsync' to duplicate installations from any account into any account.
My question for security, is it secure to grant apache sudo rights? I have not resolved successfully granting it permissions, and I would not want to waste my time investigating more on it if it can compromise the system in any way.
In your experience, is it feasible to build such a tool like I described? I have the tool working to copy within account and to addon domains and it works great, but I want it to manage all accounts on the server.

View 2 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?

View 14 Replies View RelatedUnder Linux, I would like to be able to launch anything from command line in a "safe" environment, i.e. be assured that it can't read or write any file on my computer, and even better if it couldn't access the network.I thought about creating a user with reading rights only in the current folder (and nowhere else), and su to this user to launch the command, would this work ? And what about the network ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt is my understanding that they do the same: they ask for my password (if I am allowed in /etc/sudoers), and give me a login shell as root.
Is there any difference between them?
sudo su -
sudo -i
Also, what's the difference between
sudo su
sudo -s
I think that they both ask for my password, and give me a shell with my old environment variables.
I am using linux mint and have installed Netbeans on it but whenever I run netbeans from accounts other than root it throws an error for not having permission to start glassfish server of netbeans. I also tried running this application using run as administrator option but then the application does not start.
So is there a way to assign netbeans admin rights permanently so that whenever I start this application from other accounts I should not face this error?

When I started it, the time was wrong (or maybe the time zone, since the minute is correct). It looks like it's exactly 4 hours behind (right now it's 18:53 here, but the date command says 14:53). Also, I have ntpd running, in case that matters.
