Programming :: Identify Users Who Forbidden Files In Home Directory

May 16, 2011

I have to create a script to identify those users who have un-sanctioned (forbidden) files in their home directory. I tried something like this (this is a try and I need some opinions):

Code: #!/bin/bash
user_belongs() {
if `groups $var1 | grep $var2`
then
return 0 else
return 1
fi
} .....

General ::anything Special About Home Directory Before Users' Home Directories Are Stored There

Jun 19, 2010

Is there anything special about a home directory before users' home directories are stored there, or is just as typical as any other "empty" folder?Let me just cut to the chase, but please no ear ringing about the folly of messing around as root, particularly with directories at root level. I know it's considered stupidity, but I deleted my home directory.

Is there an easy way to restore a working home directory? I tried copying /etc/skel under root, but I'm not sure what a home directory should look like once it has been restored. Besides . & .., there were .screenrc & .xsession in my home directory when I copied /etc/skel. Are these files suppose to be in "/home" or "/home/~" or both?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Cannot Create Directory /home/users/newuser

Apr 5, 2011

CentOS 5.5

I am trying to add new users, when I use the command: # useradd newuser

I get: useradd: cannot create directory /home/users/newuser

I went to my /etc/skel and when I use the command ls it displays:
home

and when I go into /etc/skel/home I have the two directories that I created.

I am logged in as root, and when I ls cd / it shows /home, when I cd into /home everything looks normal.

How do I get this error to stop so I can add new users?

Ubuntu :: Move The Users Home Directory To An External Drive?

Jan 19, 2010

As I regularly move between Mac and PC, I thought it would be a good idea to put all my data on an external drive. As Windows 7 and OS X have similar home folder layouts, I just simply put all the folders I need for both on the root of the external drive and changed a few settings so that the Home folder for my user is on the external drive on both Windows and OS X.

Whilst Ubuntu also has a similar structure, I cannot work out how to have it so that my users home folder is on the external drive. I have done a little research and all I can find is how to have the /home directory on another partition. a) this is not what I'm trying to do, just the folder for my user and b) this would mean formatting the external drive to extX format, which just wouldn't work for me.

I am using 9.10 (or will be once the upgrade is complete)

Programming :: Script To Search Users Home Directories For Certain Words?

Feb 20, 2011

I am trying to create a bash script that will search all users home directories on a system for words like quit, steal, kill etc. Pretty sure I'm going to be using grep /home. The only thing is that obviously a word like 'kill' could have normal uses too like "I need to kill the process." How would I go about flagging a user with the word/phrase found, and the path while also omitting legitimate uses?

They can connect to the ftp server and see the file, just not change them.

General :: Testing Home Directory Scripts By Setting $HOME To The Location Of The Test Directory

Apr 20, 2010

I have an interdependent collection of scripts in my ~/bin directory as well as a developed ~/.vim directory and some other libraries and such in other subdirectories. I've been versioning all of this using git, and have realized that it would be potentially very easy and useful to do development and testing of new and existing scripts, vim plugins, etc. using a cloned repo, and then pull the working code into my actual home directory with a merge.

The easiest way to do this would seem to be to just change & export $HOME, eg

cd ~/testing; git clone ~ home
export HOME=~/testing/home
cd ~
screen -S testing-home
# start vim, write/revise plugins, edit scripts, etc.
# test revisions

However since I've never tried this before I'm concerned that some programs, environment variables, etc., may end up using my actual home directory instead of the exported one. Is this a viable strategy? Are there just a few outliers that I should be careful about?

Fedora :: Cannot Read Hidden Files In Home Directory

Jul 24, 2009

Not sure what the problem is, but my home directory or /home partition is acting up so that I cannot see the hidden directories in my home directory.

If I type "ls" I get the display of all my files and directories.

If I type "ls -l" I get the display of files and directories.

If I type "ls -a" or "ls -la", the terminal hangs.

Any thoughts? I have tried creating myself a new account and moved all my files over, then changed the ownerships to the new account. However, now the new account is acting the same way.

Ubuntu :: Use Rsync To Copy ONLY Home Directory And No Files?

Jun 1, 2011

How can I use rsync to copy ONLY the my home folder (and nothing inside of it, just the folder name) to another machine. I've tried things like

Code:

rsync -av /path/to/src /path/to/dest/

or

Code:

rsync -av -f"+ */" -f"- *" /path/to/src /path/to/dest/

This last option recursively (through the -a switch) copies only folders, including all subfolders. If I try

Code:

rsync -v -f"+ */" -f"- *" /path/to/src /path/to/dest/

nothing is copied (not even my home folder.

Fedora :: F11 Apache 403 Forbidden Using Alias Directory?

Nov 20, 2009

I have searched the forum high and low for the solution with no success, so I will now post this problem, with all known facts. Linux (and Fedora) is brand new to me so I'm somewhat illiterate with the language and recommendations from reading other threads. Please bare with me. I'm reading the book Beginning PHP and MySQL from Novice to Professional by Cristian Darie.The book has you create an Alias directory for creating the tshirtshop web-based application.

The book uses the directory /home/username/tshirtshop. However, I did not want this in the /home directory, so I created a new directory from the root directory /workspace/tshirtshop. Below are the areas of interest in the file httpd.conf (I restarted the httpd service each time I edited this file):

Code:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

Fedora :: Back Up Files From Home And From Another Mounted Directory On System?

May 28, 2010

I am using back in time to back up files from home and from another mounted directory on my system (ntfs). The back-ups are occurring automatically and appear to be complete; but, I cannot delete old back-up snapshots in the backintime GUI Also with sudo nautilus or as root in terminal with (rmdir) I cannot delete the snapshots. My drive is filling up and rather than uninstalling back in time, I would like to simply delete the unneeded snapshots. How can I delete these files? Is there an rsync file that I should configure to delete these? My expectation of backintime was that it would back-up at the requested frequency and not create complete duplicate copies of the files, but, use symbolic links to unchanged files. How can I verify if this is the case? Does the cron file control this>
