I'm setting up an automatic mount point on one of my servers. However, for this file I only want certain people (permissions) to access it once it is mounted. I'm figuring I need to place this either on an ACL (via setfacl) or by configuring this in my mount point config file (auto.misc) . Has anyone done this before, restrict use of an auto mounted directory?

on F12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE) autofs/udev generates the following messages at every boot:
Code:
May 5 00:28:30 foo udevd-work[679]: setfilecon /dev/autofs failed: No such file or directory
May 5 00:28:30 foo udevd-work[679]: chmod(/dev/autofs, 020660) failed: No such file or directory
May 5 00:28:55 foo automount[1131]: failed to mount /media/.hal-mtab
The configuration is fairly simple:
Code:
#/etc/auto.master
/media file:/etc/auto.media -browse --timeout=10
#/etc/auto.media

I have a server running RHEL6 and a virtual machine also running RHEL6. I created a directory /home/data on the server and another on the VM. When I mount the host directory on the VM, I am not able to change the ownership/permissions through the VM no matter what. The ownership is set to "nobody" and I can't even change it to root.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn our fileserver, we primary use samba to share files to our users, but a few users have to use ssh/sftp to access the file server. In samba we have the shares setup so that permissions are forced to be the correct group owner and group read/write. The problem is those few who access via ssh/sftp. There files do not have the correct permissions. These people are not the most computer savvy, I'm dealing with biologist here. Is there some way to fix this or will I just have to setup a cron job to go through and set permissions periodically?

But when I 'cd' to the dirs /mnt/sshfs/remote1 or /mnt/sshfs/remote2, I get this error:

Ok, for some reason I can't get autofs to work on /home. I setup a NIS server and wanted to map the /home on the client to the /home on the server with NFS. But I want to use autofs to mount the users' home directories. BUT I get an error every time. Here is my configuration:Turned off firewall and SELinux on both system to rule those out. It works if I use /tmp/home as the autofs mount, but no with /home.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set autofs up to wake a samba file server whenever I want to use it. I found this page which apparently demonstrates how to do it with NFS. With a bit of modification I've managed to come up with this:
Code:
/etc/auto.wake
#!/bin/sh
hostsrv=<server ip address>
hostmac=<server mac address>
opts="-fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/etc/samba/.creds"
netcat -w 5 -z $hostsrv 445
status=$?
if [ $status -ne 0 ]
then
/usr/sbin/etherwake -i $hostsrv $hostmac
sleep 60
fi
/bin/echo -n "share"
/bin/echo -n -e " "
/bin/echo -n "$opts"
/bin/echo -n -e " "
/bin/echo "://$hostsrv/share"
Now, I've added this line to auto.master
Code:
/server /etc/auto.wake --timeout=60 --ghost
and restarted autofs
Code:
sudo service autofs restart
It wakes up the server successfully but then when I wait 60 seconds and browse the /server directory on the client the share doesn't appear at all.
I am running a debian squeeze server, and have autofs 5.0.4 installed. One of my scripts (autofs executable files) is trying to mount some of my LAN hosts.The host mount fine at start, but when unmounted automatically, it will not mount again. (At least unless I wait for 2-3 minutes).The problem is, maybe, that I get these messages in the log:
add_host_addrs: hostname lookup failed: Name or service not known
mount(nfs): no hosts available
failed to mount {myshare}
If I wait a couple of minutes, the share is mounting fine, but that is not an option.The mount command issued by my script is mounting just fine on the command line after all these error messages, but autofs seems to have a problem with it anyhow.I have searched all over the web trying to get a reasonable explanation to any of these messages without luck.I don't think that I can upgrade automount, since this is an embedded device (SheevaPlug), so what is my options?
We have a homegrown process that runs on a windows box and produces a csv file. We mount the directory these are output to using autofs/cifs and then process them using a program on our linux database servers.
Is there a way from linux, looking at the cifs share, to tell if the target file is currently in use by a process on the windows box? We are having issues where an incomplete file is being processed occasionally.
Here what I want to achieve. I have iso file images that I do not want to expand permanently via /etc/fstab, but instead via autofs. Then I want them to be exposed by HTTP and FTP. I am using CentOS 5.5 and below are the relevant part of configuration files.

/expanded /etc/auto.iso --ghost

I set up an FTP server with two separate directories. One of them is mine, and the other one is shared (for anonymous ftp). The layout is like this.
/home/hallvor <---- this is my ftp directory where I keep my private files. I am the only user.
/home/ftp <---- this is the shared ftp directory with anonymous login.
Whenever I transfer files from my ftp directory to the public /home/ftp, I would like to: prevent anonymous users from deleting files in /home/ftp or uploading their own files to that directory (read only) What permissions must I set? I think this is all a bit confusing. I tried to chmod /home/ftp to 644 and change ownership to root, but that made it impossible to even log on anonymously.
I just upgraded to fedora core 11. I need to change the permission of the html folder. The owner is currently set to root. Since there is no longer a root user (I just found out) it will not let my user account change the permissions in that directory from. How do you change directory permissions in fedora 11?

if I do ls -la on a file, it would show the permissions of the file on the left side. I would like to do the same on a directory(ls -la directory) and have only one line printed out with the directory and it's permissions. But the result is the content of the directory and not the directory itself.

How would this be accomplished on a CentOS box?

I have a CMS that has a brilliant backup option with one flaw, it can only create a full backup in a directory inside the web root. In this case /var/www/site/backups. This is not practical for security as the resulting tar.gz file contains a full mysql backup as well as other items that the general public shouldn't be downloading.What permissions do I need to set so that the directory /var/www/site/backups cannot be browsed to in a browser but can be read / written by the CMS when a PHP script calls it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup 2 individual FTP users. They should both have access to the same directory. They both need to be able to read/write into the directory. But, I want them not to be able to write to each other's files (e.g. delete, remove, rename, etc.).
So let's say the shared directory is: /home/ftp/shared/
UserA needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserA should only have write access to his own files. UserB also needs read/write access to /home/ftp/shared/. UserB should only have write access to his own files.
It would be a unix box of sorts, but that is the only restriction. I could use whatever software. I am currently thinking pure-ftpd or vsftp but I am open to all ideas.
