tracking samba changes
by Christopher Wensink 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Good morning everyone. This morning when I came in my boss said that he doesn't have access to the R: drive, which is a samba share to a folder called RP. I looked in /etc/group and his username was not in there. He's had access to this group for years, since before I was at the company. Yesterday I added a new employee to two other groups, saved the change and exited, and I took out an old username out of a few groups but I did not touch my boss's username at all. Is there any kind of trace log that shows changes to a group or to /etc/group that tracks / logs all individual changes that I can trace back to what might have happened that's turned on in the system, to show changes to /etc/group, or does that only get captured through an outside backup?

Tar of files
by Jerry Geis 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

When I "tar" up an archive the files have an owner bob, when I extract that to another machine bob is there also but user number is different. So when I extract bob is no longer the owner of the files but someone else. Is there a good way to account for this ? User ID on one box being different to the next box ? I was expecting to untar and bob still be the owner . Thanks, Jerry

Tex-Package missing - Best option to proceed.
by Felix Kölzow 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Dear Experts, We are using RHEL8-based distros and CentOS 8 Stream. For specific applications, some Tex-package are absolutely required. It turned out that these packages are not shipped with the available tex-packages in RHEL8 and CentOS8 Stream, e.g. texlive-pgfplots We know that there are some workarounds at this point. Concerning all these options, is there an option that should be considered to be more or less reliable compared to the others? Which procedure would you prefer? Thank you very much for your help. Regards, Felix

Recommendations for webmail client on EL8
by Simon Matter 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi all, I'm still trying to find solutions to replace some aging EL6 and EL7 systems. This time I'm looking at email. Postfix and Cyrus-IMAPd are not a problem and also additional things like DKIM are fine. However, I'm wondering what to use to replace good old squirrelmail with. We had a heavily patched squirrelmail with lots of nice things like avelsieve plugin. Since squirrelmail is dead and unable to run on newer PHP, I'd like to use some other tool instead. I was looking at Roundcube but it seems difficult on EL8 because a lot of PHP stuff is missing and not available as RPMs. I guess the same is true for the python things needed for Mailpile. In the end my list only contains Cypht, Rainloop and Afterlogic Webmail lite. Is there anybody running webmail on EL8? Can you make a recommendation on a certain tool? Thanks, Simon

bash: return status of an assignment
by Kenneth Porter 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

In the sqm-scripts package for managing network traffic shaping is this line for finding a program suitable for loading the kernel shaping modules: [ -z "$INSMOD" ] && INSMOD=$(which modprobe) || INSMOD=$(which insmod) It seems to set INSMOD to /usr/sbin/insmod, even though /usr/sbin/modprobe is available. (Both are symlinks to ../bin/kmod.) According to this article, the return value of the first assignment should be success and it shouldn't take the fallback statement: <https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/270828/how-is-the-return-status-of…> Also working the issue here: <https://github.com/tohojo/sqm-scripts/issues/133>

How to install XFCE on CentOS 8?
by Simon Matter 27 Feb '21

27 Feb '21

Hi, Is anyone here running XFCE desktop on CentOS 8? If so, how did you install it? I just tried to install it from EPEL and this is what I got: # dnf group install Xfce Last metadata expiration check: 0:14:01 ago on Thu 11 Feb 2021 10:05:47 CET. No match for group package "NetworkManager-gnome" No match for group package "thunar-archive-plugin" I'm unable to find packages for NetworkManager-gnome or thunar-archive-plugin anywhere in CentOS 8 or EPEL 8. Did I miss something? Thanks, Simon

menu apps like make menu config
by Christopher Wensink 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

Good morning everyone, While vi, cat more or less can work (see what I did there..) for looking at every day Linux Administration, sometimes I think it's just easier to work with a menu based interface, where you can select and navigate messages and options, with a little bit of color, possibly function key interaction, and a working interface, similar to using make menuconfig for compiling the kernel and similar to performing a legacy text based install on a new system. Is there a master list of those kinds of apps that have a menu for looking at various things? Can anyone who thinks of more of these apps rattle off some other options such as: abc - for reading logs xyz for text based chat def - for a menu based browser ghi - for a text mail client, etc -- Christopher Wensink IS Administrator Five Star Plastics, Inc 1339 Continental Drive Eau Claire, WI 54701 Office: 715-831-1682 Mobile: 715-563-3112 Fax: 715-831-6075 cwensink(a)five-star-plastics.com www.five-star-plastics.com
