General :: Modifying FTP User' Rights / Permissions / Upload Criteria
Jul 6, 2010I have a few FTP users on my linux server(running vsftpd). They all have their own directory and can upload and delete files in that folder.Now, I was wondering whether it would be possible to create special permissions/rights for users. For example, I would like to make it so that certain users could not upload .exe files, or I want a certain user to only be able to upload image files (gif, jpg).

Mar 24, 2010I've installed Directory Server (LDAP). The setup has been done according to the tutorials online. Able to access the interface as well. So far so good. The issue I have is with permissions. I can assign file permissions to a user created in the Directory Server ( user not created on the local server). But the same can't be done for a group - alteast the way I currently see it. How could i assign file system rights to a group created in the directory server.

Sep 18, 2010How can I become root outside of the terminal? I want to be able to manipulate the file system (i.e. move files, delete files, rename files) in the file viewer GUI (not sure what it's called; I'd say "Windows Explorer" if I were talking about Windows).
Also, how can I manipulate (move, delete, copy, rename) files inside the terminal?
I do understand how to move around (change the working directory) in the terminal, and how to become root in the terminal, and naturally I understand how to move, copy, blah blah blah. I know the basic basics (just letting you know, I'm not the type of person who knows less about computers than a rock does).
Fedora Security :: Modifying Grub Kernel Arguments Boots Directly Into Root?
Jan 21, 2011I updated the kernel to 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 and had to reinstall and rebuild the kernel module for my ATi driver as usual, so I edited the kernel arguments at the grub splash screen so that I could boot into single user mode and install the driver (i.e appending the relevant line with '1'). The interesting thing is, the system booted directly into single user mode as root when the system started up. No password was required.

Sep 25, 2009I cannot debug or resolve on a Fedora Core 8 machine. The problem exists in a Fedora 11 machine as well. I have a script that changes the default gw (I have 2 providers) if the link is down. The script runs very well when I call it from the terminal, however when I try to set a cron job to run it, it hangs in the middle of the script. I don't have any idea of what is happening, or how to debug but it seems to hang when running a command like: route add default gw [ip]
I can publish the script here, but it's fair an simple and the algorithm is:
- start
- Find out the current GW
- Find out the alternative GW
- Ping the current GW and capture the result
- if we have a fail then change the default gw to the alternative Gw and send an email, else do nothing
- end
The cron job is run as root, so I don't think this is a rights problem.
Red Hat / Fedora :: Possible To Make Install With Just Admin Rights
May 25, 2010I have moved to a new place and they expect me to work without root access to my machine, but I need to compile and make some software. However I get the following error:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/ope': Permission denied
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/ope': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local/ope': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/usr/local/ope/bin': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [/usr/local/ope/bin] Error 1

I have been allegedly been given admin rights - but do I need root to do this?

Mar 30, 2010Basically I am trying to add a new driver[megasr] into the ISO image, hence performed the following :
1. Mounted the RHEl5.4 ISO image

I tried to burn the ISO and install it, but it seems that the new driver does not get loaded. I am unaware of any other changes?

If yes, how to change the code start to BPB section??
Fedora Networking :: When Try To Mount The Share To A Different Directory On The Server, Receive A 'no Such Directory' Error?
Dec 18, 2010I have a server with Fedora 13 with which I would like to get NFS working. I have looked up multiple howto's and tutorials, but I'm having a problem not addressed by any of them.Official how-to, another how-to, and another how-to.I have verified that nfs-utils, nfs-utils-lib, portmap, and system-config-nfs are installed and running. I have verified that I have, in fact, shared the directory that I want to share, and that the proper permissions are set.
I had to go through some gyrations to get the Belkin wireless N router to allow my server to have a static IP. However, I can ping the server from the nfs client (a toshiba satellite running mint 8), and vice versa. I have (for now) disabled firewalls on both computers. I think I have disabled SELinux on Fedora 13 (for now).When I attempt to connect to the server from the client, the output looks like this:Quote:
aragorn ~ # mount -v 192.168.2.101:/test /home/kelev/test/
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Dec 18 12:21:09 2010

Debian Multimedia :: Gconf-editor On Modifying The URL?
Jan 19, 2011I use Debian Lenny and iceweasel as my browser on a gnome core desktop. I also use JFOREX (java application) for my trading platform. It works fine. The problem is when I click on portfolio statement in creates an error which states: "Error in launching web browser". I googled the error on the web and read some sites and it says that I should install gconf-editor and modify the URL handlers in order to point to iceweasel.
The problem is I am practically a noob when it comes to gnome and sadly I am not technical enough to understand the values that needs to be changed using gconf-editor.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Modifying Location Of Gnome Window?
Feb 3, 2011Does anyone know if it's possible to specify a screen location when opening a window in gnome? I have created a custom launcher on the top panel in gnome. It launches a bash script that I wrote, but the script requires input that can change. The launcher command is like this:
Code:
gnome-terminal -x bash -c "buildit"
The functionality of it works great. What I would like to do however, is control where the gnome-terminal window actually opens. It seems be random and based on other windows that are open. So sometimes it opens on the top-left of the screen, other times it's the bottom-left, etc.
I use Compiz as my window manager (e.g. under System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects I have chosen the "Normal") with an Nvidia 8600GT (driver version is 260.19.06).
Is there some way I can control the screen location (maybe specify the x,y coordinate) of where I want this window to open? Ideally it would be great to force the window to open directly below the icon in my panel. Is this even possible?

General :: Scripting: Modifying SQL Fields Dynamically?
Feb 22, 2010I'm looking for a way to dynamically modify a fied in the SQL file.
Example,
INSERT INTO `TABLE` VALUES(1AADFDF,DFF33D,10023,SOMEDATA, SOMEDATA);
INSERT INTO `TABLE` VALUES(1AADFDF,DFF33D,10098,SOMEDATA, SOMEDATA);
[code]....
The third field in this SQL file is what needs to change to n+1
"10023" needs to change to "1"
"10098" needs to change to "2"
"10123" needs to change to "3"
"10983" needs to change to "4"
etc...
I tried with awk and sed, but since both require the usage of ' (single quote), my variable fails to get updated. I know i can use cut and recreate the sql statememnt, but i believe there should be easier way using sed or awk. Would anyone know of any creative way to get this to work in one-liner? This needs to be a part of the script preferable without making call to external file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Modifying Grub2 For Label - Syntax
Oct 29, 2010After a recent hard drive replacement, I find that I can no longer boot my Ubuntu partition. It seems that Ubuntu set up GRUB to boot using the disk id, which is no longer valid. I've been using the old GRUB for a number of years, and have always used the LABEL= syntax to assure that the correct partition is booted. There is a dire warning in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file NOT to edit it. With the old grub, it was just a simple matter to change the menu.lst file. What file DOES get edited to make the change for the new drive? Is there an easy way to get GRUB2 to use the LABEL= form that I know and love? Or is it easier just to reinstall Ubuntu when a drive gets changed?
