Red Hat / Fedora :: OpenVPN - Running As Non Admin - Error "opening Logfile"

Jan 5, 2010

I am using a custom OpenVPN install using 7zip. It installs the program and unzips the keys and configuration files to the correct location. This is being installed by an administrator and needs to work for non admin users. Before there was an issue about not pushing the routes correctly and I am going to get around that by adding the users to the Network Config group which will allow them to add routes but not a whole lot more power. Now I am getting the error "Error opening logfile for writing C:Program FilesOpenVPNlogclient.log.

You probably don't have administrator privileges, which are necessary to run OpenVPN." Is there anyway around this? OpenVPN still works even though this error occurs so is there anyway to just turn the error off (changing verb to 0 does not work) or recompile it to ignore this error? Is there anyway to change the logging location to event viewer or another directory such as C:Users\%currentuser%OpenVPN.log (when I try to do this with log or log-append option it throws another error and doesn't work so I would prefer event viewer so there wouldn't be any permission issues).

Fedora :: Root Login Works At Shell - Auth Error When Running Admin Tools

Jan 25, 2011

I login as normal user. I can 'su root' fine - password authenticates. However, If I try to run System->Administration->Users/Groups, when it asks for root password, it is rejected. When I run updater, it reports failure to authenticate, but doesn't even ask for root password beforehand. Is there a cached password someplace?

Ubuntu Servers :: Portable OpenVPN Without Admin Rights?

Feb 4, 2011

I have OpenVPN setup and running on my home server (Lucid Lynx). I move around alot and use Portable OpenVPN to connect to my home server. The problem is a lot of the computers I use I do not have admin rights to install the necessary routes to connect. So my question is this. Can OpenVPN be configured to use PPTP protocol? Because I have PortableVPN on my U3 flash drive and that VPN client does not need admin rights to run. If OpenVPN cannot do this, and from my understanding of its archetecture it cannot, but I must admit i am no authority on the matter. Can you suggest a workable solution, ie. install and setup this server software and use this portable client software.

General :: Split Logfile For Error Logs?

Dec 30, 2009

Is there a tool already out there that will split error logs based on the virtual host they belong to? Or perhaps a somewhat simple way to write a script that can do this? I'll keep looking for a solution but I thought I'd ask in case someone here has one to offer.

If you can let me know how to do it from the terminal AND from shortcuts, that would be great because I'm trying to know what all I can do with ubuntu.

Debian :: Running Admin Commands As Non-root

Apr 4, 2016

I use two separate systems both running Debian 8. On one (my main) I can't do some commands including ping, shutdown and reboot without running them as root user, however on my other system I can ping and reboot as a non-privileged user. The permissions on both systems are the same for /bin/ping and /sbin/systemctl (reboot). I thought at first it was something to do with what groups my main was in, but that doesn't seem to be the gase.

I know I can fix it by setting setuid for both, but my question is why is it different on both machines? Is there a global setting controlling this in /etc or perhaps an icmp setting?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Increase Detail Of Messages Logfile To Help Resolve A Intermittent Crash?

Mar 29, 2010

My server is running Red Hat 4.1.2-44.I am having an issue with it hanging (website doesn't respond, can't connect via SSH (it's a remote server)) after 4am on every 3rd Sunday or so.A reboot is required to get the server responding again.I have checked every logfile I can find and found nothing that helps me. The thing I have noticed is that some of these log files start afresh after the reboot so my initial thoughts are that it is a logrotate issue or something similar.

The last activity I can find before the reboot (at 8:32) is in the logfile /var/log/cron:
Mar 28 04:22:01 crond[9356]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.weekly)
Mar 29 08:32:39 crond[3884]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)

Fedora :: 14: Boot Time Error Opening ATTR No Such File Or Directory?

Jan 22, 2011

After boot, Fedora 14 gives the following message, on my HP Pavilion dv2701tx laptop.

Starting udev: udevd-work[454]: error opening ATTR{/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.1/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/power/level} for writing: No such file or directory

I suspect it has something to do with my Authentec AES2501 fingerprint reader. I need it to work for my project, but it's not working, even though it works fine in the Windows 7 installed on my system.

General :: Windows - How To Plug DNS Leaks When Running OpenVPN

Mar 22, 2011

I've set up OpenVPN on a Linux server. All my Internet traffic goes through the VPN from that server. I'm running Windows 7 at home. I noticed in Wireshark that DNS queries are not going through the encrypted tunnel, but instead directly to my ISP's designated DNS servers.

To overcome this, I tried pushing DNS for OpenVPN from the server to my computer, and also inputting the DNS address in my wireless adapter's configuration options. This appears to have secured the DNS leak, but is it the proper way to go about it? If I didn't push the DNS address from the server to the client and only set the DNS in the client's wireless adapter, then I couldn't visit any website. And if I just pushed the DNS but didn't set it in the adapter, then some DNS requests still leaked to the ISP's DNS servers.

Fedora :: Korganizer To-Do Opening Crashes Xorg With ATI / AMD Catalyst Driver - Fatal Server Error

Dec 8, 2010

I had an earlier thread with wrong title and wasn't sure of the problem at the time. Now I have some details after checking all the threads about catalyst so posting a new thread. The problem: In korganizer (or To-Do list in kontact), whenever double-clicking or right-click->Edit.. a To-Do item in the summary list window, it crashes Xorg.

[Code]...

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting I think it has something to do with the amd/ati catalyst driver and korganizer. My video card is XFX Radeon HD5670. I have Fedora 14 x86_64 latest update with xorg 1.9.1-3. I tried catalyst 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, and kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64. Same problem.

If I use vesa driver, or from another PC with proprietary nvidia driver, no problem. Open source radeon driver works ok but sometimes the display turns off and I can't get back the display. And I need 3D. I scoured through the forum and followed the instructions exactly:

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Running But Not Opening

Jul 26, 2011

i just turned my computer on a few minutes ago (turned it off due to a storm), and immediately noticed my desktop icons were gone. so i went to places>desktop, and nautilus failed (and continues to fail) to open. i simply see a waiting cursor and a window tab saying "opening Desktop", and nothing happens. i checked system monitor, and nautilus is running, and its not listed as being unresponsive. when running from the terminal, i get no errors or anything, it just doesnt run. i did see that when i turned on my computer, i got a splash screen saying it was checking my discs for errors, but it only took about 15 seconds and didnt find any errors. also, right clicking on my desktop doesnt do anything, either. not sure what happened.

General :: Opening Emails In Hotmail Account, Running Back Track 4

May 17, 2011

First thing I will say is I am new this site and computers in general. I have pc and am running back track 4. Today the computer shut off, maybe an over heat. I restarted it and it turned off again even before the reboot finished. I put an additional cooling fan in front of the air intake and the computer is staying on but now will not open the emails in the my hot mail account. It seems to open the account, I can see what is in my in box just can not open them. Moving the curser over the unopened email usually made what is in task bar at the bottom of the page change. As of now it continues to say "Done" in stead of showing a task. Moving the curser over other things on the same page will make the task bar say "javascript" only.

Ubuntu :: Admin Privileges - Permission Denied Error

May 11, 2010

I'm having a permissions problem with Ubuntu and apache. There are two users, I'll just call them A and B. All of the files belong to A and group root. I'm logged in as B and I have admin privileges. My website is working just fine but when I create a directory in the web root, change the owner to A on the directory and all files I still get a Permission Denied error when I try to access it from the web. I've also set permissions to rxwr-xr-x on the directory and all the files. So I don't understand what's going on. Why am I still getting a permission denied error?

Server :: OpenVPN Range Address / When Change Static IP To Dynamic IP In Config File OpenVPN Didn't Work?

Feb 13, 2010

I want to configure a VPN over the Internet.I installed the 'openvpn' package, generated the key file, transfered it by a secure way to the client, and setted up the configuration file.

So, in that configuration file I input the IP addresses of the tunneled interfaces. Both IPs are static in the tunnel.

Then, I've heard somewhere that I can assign a dynamic configuration IP for the client. I do this registering a range.

Well, when I tried to change static IP to dynamic IP (changing '192.168.0.2' to '192.168.0.0/24') in the configuration file, the OpenVPN didn't work.

Obviously I don't know what I'm doing, and I really, don't believe that simply changing the IP will make it work, but I tried.

I hope I explained my problem as well.

My configuration file:

# OpenVPN Server Configuration File
dev tun 0
ifconfig 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2
cd /etc/openvpn
secret key_file

In client I execute the 'openvpn' without the '--daemon' parameter.Then I want that my client uses a IP in a range (192.168.0.0/24, for example), instead of a static IP (192.168.0.2).I also thought to use a DHCP server, but I'm not sure that will work.
