[gentoo-user] confused about suid
I am trying to create a script so users can execute a certain command as root without entering a password. I thought suid was the way to do this, but I am not having any success. The command I want to execute as root is echo -n mem /sys/power/status. I created a bash script (/usr/local/bin/suspendtoram) like so: #!/bin/bash echo -n mem /sys/power/status then set owner and group to root:root and made the script suid. However this doesn't work. The error message goes: /usr/local/bin/suspendtoram: line 2: /sys/power/state: Permission denied I am still having to sudo echo -n mem /sys/power/status and then to enter a password. What am I doing wrong? thanks Robert -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

As others have said though, watch out for the 'test' command built-in to many shells, as the behavior there is defined by the shell. Generally though, /usr/bin/test and bash test should work the same It turns out that I was mistaken and the script was in fact invoking the bash built-in test (the /usr/bin/test stuff was my overactive imagination). /usr/bin/test is still weird, as Eric Bliss said, because it doesn't print help and version info the way the manpage says it should. A difference between the two tests is that, for /usr/bin/test, a non-zero exit status means false, whereas bash test resolves to a non-zero value when true. Not true. Both exit with $? == 0 on success. Try this script: #!/bin/sh test -d /etc echo test -d /etc : $? /usr/bin/test -d /etc echo /usr/bin/test -d /etc : $? test -d /etcx echo test -d /etcx : $? /usr/bin/test -d /etcx echo /usr/bin/test -d /etcx : $? which outputs: test -d /etc : 0 /usr/bin/test -d /etc : 0 test -d /etcx : 1 /usr/bin/test -d /etcx : 1 Haven't had time to take another look at the bash script I was wrestling with. So still not sure whether bash test is being weird as well. -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears... -- Aloha = Beau; -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't browse WinXP shares from gentoo
Can you login to the share using smbclient ? smbclient //pc_name/share To mount the share I just use mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //robin/share /mnt/smb And my PC is Windows XP SP2.

A possibility is that you've set the hwclock twice, first with a wrong time, then say ten minutes later you realize your watch is five minutes fast, and you set the clock again, with the correct time. Now the adjust feature thinks your CMOS clock is ticking away ten minutes in just five minutes, and every time you boot your computer it will adjust the CMOS clock for this drift and then read it to set the system time. This drift correction feature is useful, but one should be aware of it when setting the hardware clock manually: remove the /etc/adjtime file after 'hwclock --set' has been used with a wrong time.

Re: [gentoo-user] clamav klamav
There is a decent Gentoo Wiki article on configuring Clamav. Take a look, that what I used for a guideline. Unfortunately the wiki is down now so I can't give you a link.

[gentoo-user] Re: revdep-rebuild never seems to work
What I don't understand is why doesn't it just do this: emerge app-admin/gnome-system-tools app-editors/gedit app-text/evince gnome-base/control-center gnome-base/gdm because there are slotted packages - and revdep-rebuild would have to take the newest version within the same slot. That is a task, that is not very simple - well, actually portage (emerge itself) has a major bug for slotted packages: emerge only noticed updates within the latest slot (so portage will not notice any update to gcc 3.3 if you've got gcc 3.4 installed, for example) In other words, why does it try to force the = and the version? More often than not, if I take those off (like the second line), then shit just works. yes, it does because you're lucky and don't have slotted packages in that line. I've tried the flag --package-names, but it doesn't seem to do anything different. Am I being retarded? I remember, that it once worked for me! really! You have to remove ~/.rev* and then run revdep-rebuild --package-names again. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] getting the right answer from `hostname --long'
Just trashed the mobo on my gentoo machine and reinstalled on a different machine entirely. (sendmail-8.13.4) I'm setting up sendmail... something I've done many times but each time it has been a right pain in the butt. No exception this time... I'm not running a mailserver, just a stand alone machine that retrieves and sends my personal mail. I've used sendmail successfully for 8-9 yrs and have no interest in changing MTA's unless there is a very good reason. In previous installs I haven't had this particular problem. Sendmail and other apps complain of not finding a qualified host name. I've always used a home-made host name (for 8-9 yrs now)... in this case: chub.local.net0 I've setup these files: hosts - resolv.conf - /etc/conf.d/hostname - /etc/conf.d/domainname I'm not running bind or anything involving /etc/nsswitch Putting the right stuff in these has always done the trick but not this time. I may be forgetting something: hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost chub ## 192.168.x.xx chub.local.net0 chub # gentoo [...] Resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.0.20 # Its a gateway router that queries # IPS nameservers domain local.net0 /etc/conf.d/hostname: # Set to the hostname of this machine HOSTNAME=chub /etc/conf.d/domainname: # /etc/conf.d/domainname # When setting up resolv.conf, what should take precedence? # If you wish to always override DHCP/whatever, set this to 1.
