Server :: Make An User Captive For One Task Only?
Jun 14, 2010
Is there any trick to make a user's interactive shell captive inside my intended shell script after login, or else logout? i.e. Mr.Naughty can never make to the command prompt to do something nasty.

I have a question that i want to make a normal user to execute the commands which the root user is able to execute, say if i have a user named siru and when i logged in using siru i cannot run commands like tracert,nmap@loccalhost and all but i can run when i have logged into root account so my question is how to make siru to run the command tracert,nmap@localhost.I have even edited the .bash_profile of siru's home directory from
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

I've been tried to be system admin, programmer, network admin, or network engineer. So, I've been studying this and that... what so ever struggling to find my talent. Back in 2007-2008, I was MS server admin/comm tech. I saw a building running MS server for user computers and Red Hat 9 as a main system server. MS sever was a just one of the user accounts of Linux server. When I log in to Linux, I could see log menu to access MS server. How could somebody make this creative thing?I'm now a Network engineer because working with CISCO router and switch is easier than working as programmer or server admin. I've studied Oracle 10 and VMWARE also but there are ceasless stuffs that I need to study... For now, in regards of my limited brain power, network engineer is proper for me.

I want an alias to move ~/.sportstracker to ~/Documents/Software/SportsTracker_4.1.1 and then zip it and name the zip file like this SportsTrackerBackup_yyyy-mm-dd (example: SportsTrackerBackup_2010-03-08)Note: I don't mind how the archive is compressed, 7z, rar, zip, tar, etc. Although the higher the compression the better

I am trying to set up a wireless 'test' box to use on a private club (11,000 acres). The initial tests won't need anything fancy, it will just be checking the visibility of a hotspot from a high-point in the middle of the property. But if it proves to have good visibility, later tests will be (hopefully) promoted by the club and made aware to members. I would like to set up a captive portal to redirect them to a comments page where they can post a quick message if they were able to connect ....
Most of the examples I see online of captive portal are based on having an internet connection and/or a NAT scheme set up. I just need a hotspot and a single web-page for these promotional tests. If possible, I would like to trigger any devices capable to suggest or otherwise open a browser to go to the promotional landing page ...
Also, one more quick question, this is to eventually be an 'open' internet for this test - most of the wpa set-up examples show using a passkey. Is making an open wifi as simple as not including the passkey or is there something else I would need to be doing?

I'm trying to get my backup script to run every week, but as a normal user, and not as root as it is done when the script is placed in /etc/cron.weekly. Anacron fits my needs in the sense that it doesn't require my computer to always be on, as opposed to cron, and will just run my script when it can, but at the most each week. Cron fits my needs in the sense that I can run the script as the user I am logged in as. The particular script backs up my home directory with rdiff-backup, and it is very convenient that I am the owner of that backup, since when root performs the backup, I am unable to browse my own backup files and must use "sudo" to do this.
Is there a way to let me use the feature of anacron that allows my computer to not always be on, but still get a weekly execution, and also run the script as a normal (non-root) user?

We have a server at a friends house with a hard disk that's filling up so he picked up another hard drive.
My question is.. can I install it and then configure it so to the user it seems transparent and they just see the extra space all on one drive/directory? (From Windows)
It's running centos 5 with samba ... with EXT3.. and I don't believe it's using LVM.

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

If khungtaskd stopped a hung process is there any way to know what that task was? I.e. does khungtaskd leave any kind of log record?
Or any other way to find out if a task hung.

Basically, I go through certain logs on my linux hosts checking for anything out of place. You know, the usual, /var/log/messages, lastlog, etc. What I've been using is just a simplistic grep statement that looks for keywords in certain log files, such as warn, crit, etc., with the -i flag to ensure no case searches. I thought, well, surely there are others out there doing the same thing, but more automated. Perhaps something that can check files for keywords and then notify, via email, if anything out of the ordinary is seen.

I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

I see tons of these in my dmesg, and it's causing my virtualbox vms to crash with disk IO errors. It's only affecting the Linux guests. What would cause this?
Code:
INFO: task tar:1865 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

now everytime I restart my maveric box I have to
Code:
root@tux:~# start smbd
smbd start/running, process 16067
root@tux:~#
oh and stop firestarter. Ok the firewall issue, is probably simple. I am more concerned that an upstart task won't start. I have checked in boot-up manager, and it is asked to start. This was an upgrade from Lucid, where I hadno problems.

Mandriva-2009.1 tries to install a package called Task-Printing-Server every time I power up my PSC-1401 All-In-One (multifunction) printer. This is very annoying & I want to stop these pop-up messages.This printer uses the hplip package (PSC_1400.ppd for printing & hpaio for scanning) & everything works fine except for those annoying pop-up messages.

How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?

Apache is run as www as is all the files/folders. People are uploading via FTP, scp, so the problem is if I chmod so everyone can read, then rsync as a user it works until new files are added which then my ; if rsync fails with a permission denied. Now I can add a chmod in the script so everyone can read, but since www can already read, I figured I would just change my script to use www. I added the ssh key to his authorized_keys file, but when I try to just ssh in I see this in the secure file;
server sshd[29539]: User www not allowed because account is locked
sshd[29539]: Failed none for invalid user www from ip port 54983 ssh2
Now I read a few places already saying I need to add a password to the account, etc. but before I jump and try all I read, 1st major one, will this now break apache? Will this affect any startup things, etc. and .... will that unlock that user for ssh in or is there another preferred method?

I installed SSH-keygen dependancies for a /chroot user.
I can now execute ssh-keygen from the /chroot user BUT I receive a message PRNG is not seeded.
When I do it from any of the users that are not /chroot users, it works fine.

so, sometimes happen that while I'm on my pc comes my mom and say "can I look a things 10 minutes?", this means that I have to leave my computer in her hands for ten minutes... enough to make something wrong! In ubuntu there is a usefull button "start guest session"..but here in fedora I can't find it...So, I create a new user and I called it "Guest" and I eliminated the password, so they can access also without me... but I have some problem:a) I set the home directory of this guest in /tmp/guest thinking that in this way everytime the home directory will be clean... but this doesn't work...b) is there a way to prevent in all cases this account to autenticate as root? So, if they try to install something it hasn't to show the box "autenticate as root", it has to say only "you can't"
