Just added a new 250g internal-drive in my karmic box, all seems OK and I formatted the partition with Gparted as ext4 but now can't create folders. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to use a bash shell either, if I type anything in I get no problems until I attempt sudo and then I'm unable to type in a password!

I want to make a script for something, but I'm worried the timeouts on sudo permissions (how you can't got more than 5/10 minutes between sudo commands before needing your password again). Basically, I don't want my script to be redundant and require overseeing for password inputs.
Code:
sudo echo Hello.
sleep 6000
sudo echo This is text. This shows the basis of the problem. I will need to enter my password twice.
Would allowing it to run uninterrupted be as easy as running this theoretical shell script his sudo to begin with?
tl;dr - sudo make -> operation not permitted, sudo chown -R 777
* -> operation not permitted on some of the files
I am trying to install a library. Sudo make is getting permission denied on file 1, while using regular make I am getting permission denied on file 2. I have noticed some of the directories in the library are under nobody:nogroup. I tried chown and sudo chown, both didn't work. Sudo chown got permission errors, while chown didn't change ALL the files. (operation not permitted once again) Tried sudo su, and working from there, that also did not work. (permission once again). Using lsattr returned "lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on".
Code:
sudo chmod -R 777 *
chmod: changing permissions of `Makefile': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `Makefile.am': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `Makefile.in': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `queue.c': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `queue.h': Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of `ucutil.h': Operation not permitted
Note the .libs folder not having write permission....
Code:
chmod -R 777 *

System: Karmic Koala 64-bit
I'm running rhel6 64bit. Accidentally I ran % chmod -R 777 /etc and after that I have a problem to do 'su' or 'sudo'. When I did sudo it complained that /etc/sudoers has 777 while it should be 0440. I changed that and also restored right permission for:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966 May 19 13:41 /etc/passwd
-r-------- 1 root root 1161 May 19 13:42 /etc/shadow
-r--r----- 1 root root 3746 Apr 23 01:38 /etc/sudoers
Anyway it failed to 'su'. Then I restored back permissions on files in /etc/security and /etc/sysconfig. Still can't do 'su'. Note: I could login from console as root but can't 'su' or 'sudo'. when I do 'su' it gives error: Password: su: incorrect password
I have a bash script like belows: wmctrl -a synaptic || sudo synaptic and I bind a short key S-y to that script.
it used to work well before. but today I found it didn't work. the application of synaptic didn't start. and if I delete the sudo thing, the synaptic will start. but in this case I can't change anything.
I just upgraded to Mepis 11 alpha 2 and am using the gnome desktop. I downloaded the appropriate version of Opera. When I try to install it using dpkg -i, it wont allow it because I do not have permission in either "user" or "root" desktop. I tried to edit sudoers file but it it doesn't seem to work. I can't use sudo because I am not in sudoers file and I cannot edit sudoers file because I do not have sudo permission. When I am in root desktop, I still do not have permission even to read sudoers file. How do I install Opera?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a really strange problem. I have a few files in a large directory that I want to make readable by everyone. So I try this:
sudo find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec chmod +r {} ;
and get this:
sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/find: Success
I don't know why it says Success, because the permissions were not changed. I verified by typing this:
find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec ls -l {} ;
and get something like
-rw------- 1 root root 536871076 Nov 22 14:06 readme_20101122200429
-rw------- 1 root root 536871892 Nov 22 14:08 readme_20101122200642
-rw------- 1 root root 293458128 Nov 22 14:10 readme_20101122200859
as a last resort, I tried:
sudo chmod +r *
and got:
sudo: unable to execute /bin/chmod: Success
and again Success really means fail. So, I gave up and logged in as root and tried:
find readme* -not -perm -o+r -exec chmod +r {} ;
This time it worked. Why?
EDIT: /etc/sudoers looks like:

I need sudo for www (apache) user to run a shell script('ip.sh' contains iptables rules) from cgi-bin directory via browser using a per script. I edit sudoers( www ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL ),but when run the bellow command that's with err:
# sudo -u www sh /srv/www/cgi-bin/ip.sh
iptables v1.4.4: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. And:
# ls -al ip.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 243 Sep 7 14:18 ip.sh
I edit sudoers so
'www ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /srv/www/cgi-bin/ip.sh,/usr/sbin/iptables' too. but it doesn't work too. how can I execute this script via browser ?
If I pass to my shell environment as a regular user will it apply to builds ran under sudo?I posted a thread similar to this regarding a build with TOR; however, this is applicable to all programs.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have this scenario, where in I'm calling a shell script inside another shell script. The only criteria here is that the embedded script will have 654 permissions and the master script should be able to execute this embedded script. The sample code is given below:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
maindir=/usr/home01/temp/dir
bindir=${maindir}/batch/bin
${bindir}/test.ksh -d ${dblogin} -i ${datadir} -r ${filedt} > ${tmp_log}
The test.ksh which has 654 permissions is called by the main.ksh script and when I try to run it using ./main.ksh, it fails with the error "Execute permissions denied."
I've been looking around the net for executing a shell script. My basic understanding is that after setting executable permissions and providing a path (#!/bin/sh) in the first line of the script, I can type ./myscript to execute instead of sh myscript. This is not working for me. I can run "sh myscript" but not "./myscript" even though I know for sure I have across the board execute permission and my sh path is correct. I'm working on a redhat linux station.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run a cron job as an oracle user. I put the user in the cron.allow file but it still won't run. Other users are able to run a cron job though. I think it's the way the oracle user was created and I wanted to recreate it. However it owns a lot of other file systems as well as the database. Is there a way to recreate or reset the oracle account without impacting what is currently in place?

A day ago I finally got around to upgrading the PackageKit installation that had been sitting for a week and a half, so I found a new upgrade for sudo available - the one that gives the sudoreplay command, I forget which version number it is exactly. When I try to use the sudo command I get this notice in my terminal:Code:Can't open /var/db/sudo/me/1: Permission deniedI didn't get it before. What do I have to do to make it open? I'm using SELinux in enforcing mode if that helps.

Question: How do I set up my 2nd HD with correct permissions? Background: I had previously a dual boot XP+10.04 with a 2nd HD formatted as NTFS. With this I was able to use my rsync and backintime to my 2nd HD with no issue. My new set up is EXT4 on both HD.
(I even tried to reformat my 2nd HD as NTFS, but that didnt fix the issue) I followed [URL] to mount the 2nd HD and get permissions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt is my understanding that they do the same: they ask for my password (if I am allowed in /etc/sudoers), and give me a login shell as root.

sudo su
sudo -s

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am new to fedora (been using debian based distro's for the longest time). With the new release I decided to give FC13 (The kde 64 bit spin) a try. I told it to wipe my entire hdd and encrypt the partitions. The partition manager made a few LVM partitions which I assume are encrypted.
The problem I am having is that if I attempt to use an application that would normally need root access to run, I am not prompted to enter my root password. Instead, I am required to logout and log back in as root. Is there a way to make it so that FC13 will prompt me to enter in my root password so I do not need to log in and out? Or is there something Different I should have done during the install process? Also, what is the terminal equivalent of "sudo" in fedora, or is it still sudo/KDEsudo
I also have not used SE Linux before. Do I need to manually enforce the permissions for my applications and generate my own profiles for it, or is that done automatically?
