View 4 RepliesI am using debian squeeze server with asterisk 1.6 installed and configured.my problem is non root users need to access the server using ssh and restart asterisk server after making changes in asterisk configuration files.As of now i am giving root username/password for this process (i know it is not at all a good idea) .now how can i create a username and configure it which can only access and modify asterisk configuration files and restart asterisk server without any other privileges.

I had to comment ldapi:/// from /etc/default/slapd since it was giving 'Address already in use error'. Also had to juggle with pid directory and file issues
After that I was able to start the slapd daemon (service slapd start) but now I am running into multiple issues:
1. Can't stop the service with service slapd stop
Code:
## Service stop returns 0, maybe because start-stop-daemon is not giving error
#service slapd stop
Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
# echo $?
0
Will switching to BDB database resolve this ?Also can't I slapcat at non-root user ??
Does anyone know a secure method for starting a service after a user logs in to the desktop environment? There are a couple of issues that I'm trying to work around / troubleshoot and this would assist with doing that.
I'm running Fedora 11, not sure if that matters for this question.
How do I give permission to a logged in user to stop/start a specific service without entering a root/sudo password? So they can do a simple "service SomeService stop|start" It is for a headless Ubuntu server.

The problem being, when I enter syntax: username ALL= /etc/init.d/tomcat5, /usr/local/tomcat/webapps, PASSWD:ALL This gives the user access to start and stop tomcat but also gives user access to start and stop other services within /etc/init.d - such as httpd etc... What is the proper way to give user access to start and stop service, and limiting that power to only one service....

I been trying to install the Nvidia driver for my recently installed centos desktop but I could not find the services that I can stop. I have a gnome. did try gdm, xdgm etc etc but no luck how do I stop the x server service ? so that I can install the driver.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Nvidia drivers 190.53 on my karmic with a Nvidia 9500GT. I've downloaded the file from the Nvidia website. I've done this before on previous installations and everything went fine, however, with karmic turning off the xserver is a bit of a trick.
/etc/init.d/gdm stop doesn't work
sudo service gdm stop doesn't work
sudo killall gdm doesn't work.
After I run sh ./NVIDIA-linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run a notice pops up and tells me I'm running x and I need to exit out. I thought I did. I've looked at the instructions on the Nvidia website, but I don't remember it being that complicated before and am a little nervous about removing files I don't know what they do.
I am new in configuring named.I want to set my firewall (Fedora 11) as a name server. The local domain is a Windows domain. I'd like internal users translate domain name into IP on this server when they go to the internet. After reading some posts on the web, I set up named as below. It seems the named does the job but with some problems.
1) When I start the server, I couldn't find the named process even if the file "named" is in /etc/init.d. I can browse Internet on the server with domain name (DNS works locally). But internal users couldn't get the domain name translated. If I shutdown the server at this stage, it will shutdown within 1 minute.
2) If I run "service named start" after the server boot up, I see process "named" and named work okay. Both internal user and local host can browse Internet with domain name. However, any command starting with "service named" has no response after this, such as "service named status" or "service named stop". I can see it shows "stopping named" and this last forever. I have to kill the process then restart named server so that named may run again.
3) If I shutdown the server now, it will take 4-5 minute instead of 1 minute in 1). The shutdown stuck at "shutdown named" for 4 minutes. Even if I kill process named before the shutdown, it will take 4-5 minutes.
It took me a week on this issue. I appreciate if you could take a look my configure files and guide me through this.
How to start or stop telnet service in red hat Linux 5
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a Linux newbie using Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7 (its almost similar to Redhat Linux). While going through tutorials, I tried to configure the DCHP service and set it to start after every boot via the command

When I boot my Linux,the OS hangs when it tries to start the dhcpd service.Thus,I cannot log into my Linux and shutdown the service. How can I go around this and shutdown the DHCP service to enable my Linux to fully load after a boot?

View 2 Replies View RelatedService(init.d) scripts in Redhat have default start/stop priorities commented inside, like:
Code:

Second number is start priority.
But debian does not include this info. Just in case service symlinks from all runlevels are removed how do I know which priority to specify?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed Centos 5.4 on a server with 3 network cards. I am trying to enable IP forwarding which has been successful by executing the following command:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I tried to make this permanent by adding net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 to the /etc/sysctl.conf file.
When I restart the network service I get the following code...
I am using

I have noticed that after few days of ideal system it will stop its network interface. To resolve this I have to login to the machine it self and then issue
# service network start
Is this a feature. If this is not a feature then what is this. As an workaround I am thinking of adding service network restart in cron tab for everyday in night when I am not using it.
I am the author of an internet radio for the Raspberry PI originally running on Debian Wheezy. The radio (radiod) service is started and stopped using the usual service commands:
service radiod start|stop|status
Since upgrading to Debian Jessie the service status and stop routines in my radio daemon are no longer called.
For example:
# service radiod status
● radiod.service - LSB: Raspberry PI Radio Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/radiod)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2016-03-31 20:17:07 CEST; 15h ago
Process: 380 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/radiod start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: /system.slice/radiod.service
└─603 python /usr/share/radio/ada_radio.py start
If I call my program (which runs as a daemon) I see the status message from my program
# ./radiod.py status
radiod running pid 603
I have established that service stop never calls my program routines to shutdown the radiod daemon when the system is rebooted (I see that from my log files).
The reboot hangs for about 5 minutes whilst stopping the radiod service (because stop never calls my stop routines).
Below is my radiod script, which is fairly conventional, and which has been working all the time until I ported to Debian Jessie.
/etc/init.d/radiod
#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: radiod

I'm noodling around with Ubuntu 10.4.1 (usually use fedora) and want to install nVidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.53.run package) for an 8400 GS video card.
So in terminal, I sudo to root, and run "service gdm stop" which drops me to a blank black screen with a blinking cursor that I cannot do anything with and cannot get out of. The only thing I can do is use cntrl-alt-delete to reboot the computer.
The computer appears to be unresponsive to any other keyboard commands. It's not as if there are any "hidden" responses to what I type, since "service gdm restart" does not do anything.
