vsftpd writing files 2 times - once as root
by Dirk H. Schulz 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I have configured my vsftpd with virtual users all of which are mapped to a system user for file system permissions (let's call him 'ftpsystemuser'). That means, if someone uploads files they are writting using owner and group of the system user: > -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpsystemuser ftpsystemuser 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine > Leistungspr?fungen.doc Now we have the phenomenon that some files and folders are written twice, one instance as it should be and the other with owner and group 'root' and with html-like file name syntax. For example: > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine > Leistungspr%FCfungen.doc > -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpsystemuser ftpsystemuser 19968 16. Mär 11:24 Termine > Leistungspr?fungen.doc This looks like a security problem: the process writing these files should not be able to do this as root, should it? And then it is very annoying. Has anyone seen that? Is that something I can configure off somehow? Any hint or help is appreciated, any deeper insight very welcome. Dirk

ssh-agent
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Yesterday or Friday, don't remember, I happened to be looking at my processes on my machine, and discovered I had a number of ssh-agents running (all mine), from different days. I killed all but the current day's. Now, I log out every single night. I checked the next day, and sure enough, the one I started the previous day was still running, and I could not only use ssh-add, and it worked. I didn't think of it this morning until just now, but tomorrow I'll log back in, and see if I even need to use ssh-add. If this is the case, I am not happy. This is, to me, a security hole, and *not* what I expected, nor what the man page seems to lead me to believe. Bug? mark

Cron and Cluster
by Joseph L. Casale 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I need an idea on how to accomplish this: I have a cluster that I only want to run cron jobs on when its active. I know the cron script can check for node status, but then I have multiple copies to maintain wheres my existing resources all reference config on the shard fs (httpd/sql etc) so a change on the active node makes that permanent on the next node. Any idea how to do this? Thanks! jlc

compiling FahMON for Centos?
by fred smith 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi all! Thanks to those who pointed me to wxwidgets packages for centos! I'm trying to build/install FAHMON (a monitoring tool for Folding At Home clients) on centos 5.4, which is why I needed the wxwidgets stuff. fahmon goes through .configure just fine, but it won't compile and it's not clear to me what's wrong. it spews bazillions of errors, starting with: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/fredex/myfiles/programs/fahmon/FahMon-2.3.99.1/wxcurl/src' /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../wxcurl/include -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -MT base.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/base.Tpo -c -o base.lo base.cpp g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../wxcurl/include -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -MT base.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/base.Tpo -c base.cpp -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/base.o base.cpp:16:23: error: wx/wxprec.h: No such file or directory base.cpp:19:23: error: wx/wx.h: No such file or directory In file included from base.cpp:25: ../../wxcurl/include/wx/curl/base.h:32:22: error: wx/event.h: No such file or directory ../../wxcurl/include/wx/curl/base.h:33:23: error: wx/string.h: No such file or directory ../../wxcurl/include/wx/curl/base.h:34:25: error: wx/datetime.h: No such file or directory ../../wxcurl/include/wx/curl/base.h:35:23: error: wx/stream.h: No such file or directory it looks like it's not including the header tree in /usr/lib/wx-2.8/wx which is where those files are. I've tried messing with options to configure but that doesn't seem to help. I probably fail to fully understand how configure works... so to short-circuit beating my head on this wall, can any of you suggest where I might find a binary package for this utility? The fahmon site doesn't appear to have one, as far as I can see. Thanks, once again! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know?

SELinux restorecon does not work
by James Corteciano 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi All, I have this following issue in SELinux. I did what instruction said but the security context has still never changed. Do I need to create local SELinux module? I hope anyone could help me out of this. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------- # sealert -b ........................................ Summary: SELinux is preventing postmaster (postgresql_t) "setattr" to ./db (etc_t). Allowing Access: Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for ./db, restorecon -v './db' If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this package. ........................................ # ls -ldZ /etc/<apps>/db drwx------ postgres postgres user_u:object_r:etc_t db # restorecon -v /etc/<apps>/db # ls -ldZ /etc/<apps>/db drwx------ postgres postgres user_u:object_r:etc_t db ------------------------------------------------------- Regards, James

bogus error message from yum update for gmime and gmime-sharp
by ken 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get: ... --> Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) ... But both of these are already installed: # rpm -q gmime gmime-sharp gmime-2.2.10-5.el5.centos gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos So: # package-cleanup --problems Setting up yum Reading local RPM database Processing all local requires No problems found Running the above "yum update ..." again yields the same bogus error messages. I've had problems with these two packages before. Why can't yum understand rpm for them? Thanks for the wisdom. -- Find research and analysis on US healthcare, health insurance, and health policy at: <http://healthpolicydaily.blogspot.com/>
