We have users that send files to our server via sftp... We normallyhave umask set to 022 but for these files we would like to force a umask of 002... I've tried to change in the .bash_profile but does not seem to make any difference...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am writing a bash script for auditing a Linux System. One of the points to capture is the umask of the users in the system.
Though a 'umask' command executed by the respective user gives this value, i am not sure how to get this in a script, which would be run with root credentials. This my be pretty easy, but i am not sure how root can find this for say 'user-x' (except say peeking into /etc/bashrc).
umask doesn't seem to accept username argument like the 'id' command does...
I think the following code is trying to change the settings inside the file:
CISum=077
sed -e "s/002/$CISum/" -e "s/022/$CISum/" /etc/bashrc-preCIS > /etc/bashrc
sed -e "s/002/$CISum/" -e "s/022/$CISum/" /etc/csh.cshrc-preCIS > /etc/csh.cshrc

But, what if i only want to check what the settings are inside the file, but does not want any changes to the file.
I'm setting up an application server for a small organization using Ubuntu 10.04 and LTSP. We built a machine with a quad core Athlon II, got a Gigabit swtich, and a couple Gigabit ethernet cards. I burned gPXE into a couple EPROMs and turned their old PIII and Duron systems into thin clients.
So far so good.
Now, I'm trying to set up a shared directory that two users in the same group can both read and write. Let's call it "/home/shared". I want to set UMASK to 007, so that by default, files are created readable and writable by user and group, with no permissions for anybody else. I changed a line in "/etc/profile" from "umask 022" to "umask 007". After rebooting the app server, the umask does appear to be 007 when you log in at the console. However, it doesn't seem to affect the terminals.
So I figured I needed to change it in "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/profile". vi helped me out with that. Didn't make a difference in the terminals. Ok, I need to rebuild the image, so I did an "ltsp-update-image" and rebooted the terminal. umask is still 022. ???
I changed UMASK in "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/login.defs" and rebuilt the image. No change. ??? I really don't understand why this isn't working.
How can I change the UMASK for users who log in on an LTSP terminal?
My Debian system has by default umask permissions of 0022, which I never liked. One user can read all the files of another seems very insecure to me.
I am planing to set it to 007, so that user and group have rw but all others have none.
Are there any side effects to that? I have noticed from a trial I did where I was changing permissions on the filesystem that some system stuff in the OS does not work anymore, if "others" have no read permission anymore, so that is why I am asking.
And why are chmod / umask permissions sometimes stated as 4 digits? What is this "all" group in the end? Isn't that already covered by "others"?
Had my chroot jail all set up and working nicely in OpenSUSE 11.1, upgraded to OpenSUSE 11.2 and had to set:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
(which was:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib64/ssh/sftp-server)
and:
ForceCommand internal-sftp

Of which with-pam is mandatory. I used prefix to put the binaries in a place that would not conflict with the standard distribution, this meant I also needed to change /etc/init.d/sshd so that it referenced the newly compiled version of sshd, and copy /etc/ssh/sshd_config to /opt/etc/sshd_config.
I run a linux file server for my office and we user SFTP for remote partners to login and download files. Is there a way to see if there are any active connections or logins so I can know when it is safe to perform maintenance on the machine?
Since the machine is almost constantly serving large files, scheduled maintenance is often bumped off due to someone either upload
I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.04 and I'm also using OpenSSH 5.3. I have SFTP-only users in a chrooted environment. Users are able to login, change directories, upload and download files, but as soon they attempt to give the 'ls' or any list directory. the server disconnects.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing CentOS 5.5. I have a handful of users that I need to have connect to my server via sftp and start in the same directory. for example, user1, user2, user3, etc.. will connect via sftp and upon connection will all be in the /some/dir/path/ftp-root directory.I know one way is to create these users all with the same 'home' directory, since by default a user starts in their home directory when connecting via sftp, but before just doing that, I wanted to find out if that is really the appropriate method to use? alternatives? Is there some setting on the sftp server end that could direct all users to one starting directory so that these users don't have to have the same 'home' dir? I'm using the sshd daemon that comes with CentOS 5.5 (with all current updates/patches)

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. In Solaris we have umask (shell builtin) and /usr/bin/umask. However I could not find /usr/bin/umask in Linux.
I want to know the difference between both and how can we achieve the functionality of /usr/bin/umask in Linux as its not there...
I have a firewall/router box running openSUSE 11.2 between the outside world and the LAN. This router also provides DNS for the LAN and has SuSEfirewall enabled. LAN users need (almost) full access to the internet. However, I want to block certain sites which are not required for work (you name it: facebook is my candidate). What is the most elegant way to block certain sites (which have quite a lot of different IP numbers) ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?
As a Windows user, I generated a pair of DSA keys from CoreFTP Lite and sent it to a third party that runs an SFTP server. They told me that a valid DSA key needs to have ssh-dsa at the start and the username@systemname at the end. CoreFTP generated neither the ssh-dsa header nor the username@systemname footer. I tried with WinSCP and it didn't generate them either. Is there a difference between how SFTP works between Windows and Linux? If I put a useraccount@systemname at the end of the text will it work? How would the Linux system validate that my system is called "systemname"? If it can't validate, what is the purpose of adding it?

So at last i have to modify /etc/bashrc file and add umask 077 at the end of the file.
How would i make it in general for all(Even for non-root user) and not just for bash prompt.
I want to set permissions to a folder as rwx-r-x-r-x in such a way that whenever a new file or folder is created under it, it will automatically inherit the parent folders default permissions.So,what I need to do know, do I have to change the umask value??
View 5 Replies View Relatedafter installing openSuSE 11.3 i was thinking a bit about security. I read, it's a good idea to set umask of users to 077 . I'm unsure now, where to do this, cause there are different locations offered in the web:
/etc/login.defs
$HOME/.profile
/etc/profile - umask would be valid for root too.
And for my understanding:
- Is it wise to set root to umask 077 too or could this lead to negative effects on my system.
- Is it even senseless to umask the normal user to 077 if there is just one desktop-user using my system (myself ).
I am attempting to modify the default umask value under all accounts on my linux system to 002. This will hopefully allow both the account and the account's group access to the created files.
I have modified it within /etc/bashrc, however it seems to be making no difference on this default value. The files I create through "File Browser" all have the access rights set to 600.
Is there any error here, as all evidence I can find on the internet points to the bashrc file.

2) Use the umask command to change your file creation mask such that,by default for new files and directories you create, no permissions are taken away from the 'user' (owner), write permissions are taken away from the 'group' (group owner), and all permissions (read, write and execute) are taken away from 'other'. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
3) Use the touch command to create a new file called testfile. Use the ls command to display the contents of your current directory in long mode. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step. Ensure that the directory listing for testfile is completely visible in your screenshot.
4) Use the chown command to change the user associated with testfile (the owner) to cint201. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
5) Use the chgrp command to change the the group associated with testfile (the group owner) to users. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
6) Use the chmod command to change the permissions for testfile such that the 'user' (owner) permissions are set to read, write and execute, the 'group' (group owner) permission are set to read and execute, the 'other' permissions are set to grant neither read, write nor execute, and finally set the SUID bit for the file. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step.
7) Use the ls command to display the contents of your current directory in long mode. Take a screenshot of your terminal window showing the results of this step. Ensure that the directory listing for testfile is completely visible in your screenshot.
