OpenSUSE :: Crontab For Amanda Enterprise Gets - Permission Denied ?

Sep 3, 2010

I'm configuring Amanda Enterprise on an OpenSuSE 11.3 system, and everything but the scheduled backups are running. I decided to try and fix it tonight, but I'm pretty fed up by now.

So here's the background:

The application creates an account on the box named "amandabackup" and adds it to the 'video' and 'disk' groups.

It generates cron jobs in /etc/zmanda/zmc_aee/crontab, which is configured as the location of the crontab file for the amandabackup user.

The crontab is owned by amandabackup:disk with a mask of 644.

So I played around with it a little bit; I ran the backup task manually as amandabackup, which worked fine.

I then tried adding the following to the crontab:

And touched amandacron.log, then made sure it was owned by amandabackup with a mask of 644 (i also tried /etc/amanda/amandacron.log, which is a directory the account stores backup session configs in, so I know it can write to it properly). The file is never updated. I tried adding amandabackup to different groups (it's currently been added to the "Users" group), with no success. I tried a symlink to the crontab file in /etc/cron.d to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't.

At this point, I went online and tried some more stuff I found:

I checked /var/log/mail/amandabackup - everything *but* cron jobs were reporting to it.

I verified cron was running with both "ps -ef | grep cron" and "rccron status"

I ensured /var/spool/cron/tabs/amandabackup existed, showed the proper entries, and was set to 644. (this one's the important bit)I checked /var/log/messages, and every minute on the dot I see: <timestamp> /usr/sbin/cron[PID]: Permission Denied

I ensured there was no /etc/cron.allow, and that /etc/cron.deny did not contain amandabackup.

I tried making an /etc/cron.allow, adding amandabackup, and restarting the cron daemon, but this did nothing.

I don't think I've forgotten anything, but my attempts have been getting progressively more feverish, so I'm not positive. Is there some annoying YAST cron panel I'm not seeing? Is there some way of getting more verbose logging out of the cron daemon than just "permission denied"? Is there some draconian rule about crontabs only working based on some otherwise-arbitrary account setting?

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 - Amanda 3.2 Default Permission Denied

Dec 9, 2010

I'm trying to install Amanda 3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) using Ubuntu 10.04 deb package. The installation was successful using the dpkg command. The problem crops up when configuring such amanda. When creating a user amandabackup using passwd amandabackup and then enter in it through su - amandabackup a permission denied problem comes up. When enter amserverconfig Dailyset 1 etc etc the server response with :
amservingconfig: critical (fatal): Cannot create debug file "/var/log/amanda/server/amserverconfig.2010120307947.debug": Permission denied and continues
The permissions are set to rw 1 amandabackup backup. I can't understand why it's telling me permission denied each time.

General :: Using AMANDA To Restore Backups Of Red Hat Enterprise AS Release 4?

May 12, 2010

I've run into a problem when trying to restore a file using AMANDA. My setup is as follows: I have a server that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 and I have a client that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. I successfully backed up files on the client using AMANDA.

Now I am trying to restore a file from the backup and restore it to the client running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. In order to do this, I have to go through the server which runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4.

Here is the problem I encounter. When I try the restore, it freezes at the extraction process. I've left it running for the night and still it is stuck at the same place. The restore never completes.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows what seems to be the issue? Could it be that the AMANDA driver I installed does not allow restore with different versions of Red Hat? Or is there an update in Red Hat 4 that would fix this issue?

OpenSUSE :: Identify Ps Output - Permission Denied

Jan 4, 2011

I noticed when running "ps -ef" that there are a bunch of processes listed with brackets. ie "[process]". Some of them appear to be daemons and others look more like kernel modules? I haven't found a program directly associated with them and was hoping somebody could clarify this for me?

Also, if I run a search of the file system with sudo or as root, there is a directory in my home that returns a permission denied. I understand permissions but shouldn't operations as root be able to do/access anything on the system?

OpenSUSE :: Cron Job 'permission Denied' / Sort It?

Jan 5, 2011

After an upgrade to opensuse 11.3 from 11.2 it turns out that cron uses pam for authentication. Now I have one user 'mythtv' which does not have a login and is not part of the 'users' group. This user is being denied access (permission denied messages in /var/log/messages from crond).

Now, I have been experimenting with the /etc/pam.d/crond config file. I wanted to use the pam_listfile module to grant access to this specific user without authentication. That however didn't work and I have now narrowed down the problem even more.

When I use this for my crond file

Code...

What could be the problem here?

OpenSUSE :: Ssh Permission Denied \ Connect To Web Host Via Ssh?

Aug 15, 2011

I am trying to connect to my web host via ssh. I can do this on Windows using Putty without issue. However, if I run this on Linux, I receive a "permission denied" when I am prompted for my login and password. It's obviously making some type of connection, otherwise it wouldn't be prompting me for authentication.I initially thought this was a firewall issue.I opened up port 22 and I even tried disabling the firewall altogether.However, I still received this error.

OpenSUSE Network :: NFS Permission Denied When Trying To Write?

Jun 29, 2010

i have client and server PCs, both with openSuse 11.2.

on the server side, i have mounted HD partition to /vmshare dir. relevant line in /etc/fstab reads:

Code:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD3200AAJS-07B4A0_WD-WCAT16493946-part2 /vmshare reiserfs user,acl 1 2
i want to export /vmshare dir via nfs. i have configured it through yast and resulting line in /etc/exports reads:
Code:
/vmshare *(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,crossmnt)
the permissions for this directory is drwxrwxr-x root vmshare.

i can successfully mount the exported dir on client side, i can move between directories and list contents, but i can't write into it (not even as a root). on the server side, i can write to the directory only as root. the vmshare group is created on both machines with same gid as well as all users have same uids. firewalls are down.y.

OpenSUSE :: 11.3 Minicom Permission Denied With Usb Serial Adapter?

Jul 21, 2010

I have a usb serial adapter and was happily using minicom with it under openSUSE 11.2. I've upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 and I can only use minicom with this serial adapter as root. I had previously had problems writing to /var/lock under openSUSE 11.2 which I worked around by changing the minicom config to use /tmp as its lock file location.

Unfortunately my laptop doesn't have a built in serial port so I can't tell if its a general problem or something specific to the /dev/ttyUSB0 device. This is the output I get when I run minicom with my regular user account. I get the same output whether the lock file location is set to /tmp or /var/lock

Code:minicom usb0 Device /dev/ttyUSB0 lock failed: Permission denied. Before I started tinkering my user belonged to the following groups groups=16(dialout),33(video),100(users) I've since added 5(tty),14(uucp),21(console) but still no joy.

Server :: Permission Denied With Ls -l Or Ls -la But Ls Ok

Mar 1, 2011

I have a user (let's call him John) who is not able to list contents of several 777 directories even though it appears he has permission to.

Case in point, as root:

Code:

Code:

If I use ls -a or strictly ls as john, I can list the contents of the nss directory:

Code:

That says to me that I have an issue listing permissions. Fine, I don't really need john to be able to list permissions. I want him to have rwx access to /media/nss/ENG which as you can see from my listing as root shouldn't be a problem since the perms on that dir are 777.

I am able to CD into the ENG directory or any other directory or subdirectory in /media/nss that has equivalent 777 perms, but once in the directories I can't list the contents:

Code:

I can get anywhere and do anything I want under the media/nss folder as john, except listing files. I even tried using an ACL i.e.

Code:

Why this isn't working?

Debian :: Chmod Permission Denied

Dec 11, 2015

I have setup my debian 8 web server.

For some reason I am having some issues with permissions of some images. They don't render because they are not set to 644. Now for some reason when I uploaded these files onto my shared hosting with cPanel the files work fine and permissions are fine. I can see there is a permission issue for the files locally on my Mac (OS X - El Capitan).

When I changes these locally on Mac the permissions go all weird and are prefixed with Custom, rather than mac-user-name: Read & Write, staff: Read, everyone: no access. then changes to custom: read & write etc. So then i tried changing permissions on web server see below and I get permission denied and after all the files are gone, i can't delete the images folder through SFTP or SSH. I changed back the image to 755 and tried deleting and still nothing. Not sure what the problem is. Before I chmod I checked that the images are set to the correct user and group as per the rest of the site.

So I try:
Code: Select alluser_name@debian:/var/www/html/_files$ chmod -R 644 images

and I get this return:
Code: Select allchmod: cannot access ‘images/box-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/ie-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/google-plus-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/mobile-ready-icon.svg’: Permission denied

General :: Permission Denied As The Root

Mar 23, 2011

The root user of Linux doesn't have permission to read/write a regular file, unless all users have permission to read/write this file, like below:

drwxrwsrwx ....... file_name

However the owner of the file can still read/write this file.

AND:

0) not the problem of execution, just read/write
1) not the problem of device because regular user can read/write it.
2) the result of command id:

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

so I don't think it's the problem of group.
