Is there a Linux system call that can be used to get the group name from the GID returned by stat()? I realize that I could parse /etc/groups (if my user had sufficient permissions).

I would like to create a bash script that creates a single group from all users in other groups.
I've been at it most of the day, and I think I'm making it too complicated. I have about 100 lines of code, and it's still now working the way I would like. I'm starting to trip over my own feet with the amount of if statements and variables.
I've installed OpenLDAP and libnss-ldap, as instructed in this tutorial. Then I try to login but I got the error

Code:
dn: uid=iwan,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

this is really a brainstorming thread seeking advise on how to setup some samba shares within a small office network. For the quick judgers:
-no I'm not an IT expect and I'm not even the IT at the office, I just fill in this gap too.
-I have looked into several samba 'by example' tutorials - none seems to fit my needs or answer some of my Qs.
So I seek advise from your experience: What do I know:
-the functionality of the setgid to have subfolders inherit the group owner of the parent folder
-the fact that I don't want samba in 'share' level in order to register the owners of files
-the functionality of acls that enables inheritance of rwx permissions to subfoldrs of a parent folder.
- the groupmod -o option but that doesn't help apparently.
So this is a 25ppl civil engineer consulting office. The physical groups of ppl working here are: engineers, drafters (those who generate the drawings , i'm not sure if thats the correct term), and secretaries. The job usually is done in the following way, once a project commences a project folder gets generated and everything is done in there. incoming mail arrives there (secretaries put it there), engineers do they calculations on speadsheets, write reports and do draft drawings and, finally, drafters take the draft drawings and finalize them. So pretty much everyone of these 3 groups needs write access to the main project folder.
How do I accomplish that? as which group should I create the project folders? It came to mind the notion of group of groups. Now that the actual owner of the file is not so important anymore (several engineers will need to have write access to the folder) and group becomes important, it would be nice to have the ability to add... groups (instead of users) to groups! so that the permissions to a group are inherited by its children groups... Does such functionality exist of can it be implemented somehow?
How do I go about giving access to everyone and at the same time, NOT giving up on the 'user' secutiry level of samba (and NOT just giving rwx permission to 'others'? Is it possible? or Should I instead forget about individuals and match the 'physical groups' to 'linux users' and 'groups of groups' to 'linux groups'? ( This means I should give on ownership of files by individuals )? Since its a small office some work is mixed - engineers might pickup incoming email, a secretary might do abit of drafting work etcetc.
I'm trying to create a group called Domain Users, that will include several other groups that are populated with users inside of the LDAP database. In the LDAPdatabase, for a group entry, there are memberUid entries that can be filled. When I try to use another "Group" name, it just lists that name and not the people in that group. So if group "A" has Jim, John, Sue, and I include group "A" in the memberUid of the Domain Users group, I want that to reference the people in that group, not the group name. Testing access right, having the group name listed in "Domain Users" group, does not grant user access under the group rights on a directory. Should be simple, but I don't know the syntax to use for this reference.

I want to set permissions for multiple groups to have different levels of access to one group of files, and it looks to me like unix permissions will not do that? I always hear about how robust linux is, and it seems to me that their file permissions model is WEAK compared to microsoft's?

I have logs files from freeradius that have looks as follows:
$ grep "Login incorrect (rlm_ldap: User not found" /var/log/radius/radiusd-inner-tunnel-20090831.log
Mon Aug 31 09:25:27 2009 : Auth: Login incorrect (rlm_ldap: User not found): [John Doe] (from client oficina port 0 via TLS tunnel)

I use the following line to get the amount of users that don't exist on ldap:
Code:
grep "Login incorrect (rlm_ldap: User not found" /var/log/radius/radiusd-inner-tunnel-20090831.log | awk '{print $14}' | sort -fu | wc -l
Now, awk on line one for example parses [John Doe] and [Joon Williams] as "[John" and that it's not what I'd want. I mean how could I do for awk looks username field as closed between squared brackets?
I've been loosely following this:http://norvig.com/lispy.htmlAnd I have a problem: the parsing function throws an array out of bounds exception. I thought that maybe I'm doing it wrong, so I copy and pasted the code from the page, and still the same error

variable_test=0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s 0m0.001s .....an so on.
There are lots of values in format like "3m1.057s" are stored in variable_test separated with an space between two such values. For exapmple, value is "3m1.057s" I need to save different parts of a value in three separate array variables such as the
var_hour=3
var_min=1
var_sec= 057
tell if this can be done using "awk". A "WHILE" loop might be used to separate and store theses values I guess?

I'm trying to recreate a simple script I wrote to parse out the access.log to get a rough idea of websites that users are going to on our corp network. The issue I'm having is I want to pull out any line from access.log that ends in .com/ .org/ .net/ or whatever to only see what the user entered into the address bar and drop pictures, js's and everything else and log only this. so what I do is :awk '{print $8} | grep -e '[cong]|[ore]|[mgtv][/]'$ and nothing happens.I know there is an easier way to do this with awk alone,

I've searched online and found many examples using getopts, but nothing that clearly explains it use, nor any examples of what I'm trying to do. I have a script named "process". It can take from 0 to 3 different options. I'd like to be able to handle these options regardless of the order that they are entered.
Syntax:
process [-v] [-d #] [-h|-?] [string]
-v = verbose mode on
-d # = how deep to do the process, expecting a number parameter
-h or -? = show command usage
string = only process lines containing the specified string

As a curious side project I'm playing with mzXML data(an xml format for holding mass spec data). A typical scan can be quite large, even up into GB size. I'm wondering how would one go about parsing an xml file in sections, one section at a time. The idea being if the computer doesn't have enough memory to load up the entire data file, work on chunks of it at a time.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI already know of a work around to fix this problem, but I guess my question is why is this not working as expected? I am using a Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory for authentication.
I have run auth-client-config for the ldap profile and pam-auth-update. When running getent passwd, I get a list of both the local users and the users in the active directory (with populated information in the Unix schema extension). When running getent group I get a list of both the local groups and the groups in the active directory (with populated information in the Unix schema extension).
Interestingly enough, though, when I run su DOMAINUSER, after the prompt for the password I get an authentication error. In /var/log/auth.log I can see an entry with pam_ldap: missing "host" in file "/etc/ldap.conf". The SRV records in the DNS servers resolve correctly. I've checked this with nslookup and I have seen the records within my zone file. Obviously if the ldap.conf file is working with getent and the ldap server is resolving from the SRV records, it is working fine.
The interesting part is that the Windows Server 2008 R2 AD machine shows in the event viewer that there was a successful authentication, yet the Ubuntu box says no. When I add the host within the ldap.conf file, everything works...getent and the actual authentication, either initial login or su.

I am currently trying to set up a Samba domain server. In the Samba-HOWTO-Collection I found an
example file.(Point 3.3.3.1) In the explanations of the example below, the author says I need to map UNIX Groups to NT Groups. He writes a shell-script of how one could do it, but when I copy it and then execute it, I get the error:
Bad option: rid=512
Bad option: rid=513
Bad option: rid=514
The other groups do get mapped, just the Domain Admins, Domain Users and Domain Guests dont. This is the shell from the HOWTO:
#!/bin/bash
#### Shell-Skript f ̈r sp ̈tere Verwendung aufbewahren
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512
net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users rid=513

#first pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value1
f2=field2 value1
#second pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value2
f2=field2 value2
# third pass of the loop I need:
