Subject: FTP Root?
Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 12:30:02 GMT
I'm running Redhat Linux 6.0 and trying to set up a user's ftp account.
I can manage to set up the account fine, and they can ftp in - and they
start in their home directory. *However* they can also traverse up
through all of the other directories and browse my whole directory
structure - which I do not want!
How can I set up the account so that when the user logs in they see
their home directory as the root?
Many thanks.

Subject: bootable red hat CD
Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 18:08:00 +0200
Hello,
someone here has experience in making
bootable CDs with the mkisofs/cdrecord utilities
using "eltorito" extensions?
I've this installation CD of Red Hat 6.1, and I would
like to make a bootable copy.
I've the original CD mounted on /mnt:
[attico@peg3 /mnt]# ls
COPYING RPM-GPG-KEY autorun boot.catalog dosutils misc
README RedHat boot.cat doc images rr_moved
where are the boot images? In images, I suppose:
[attico@peg3 /mnt]# cd images/
[attico@peg3 images]# ls
boot.img bootnet.img pcmcia.img
Now what I've to do exactly?
mkisofs -r -l -o RH.img -b images/boot.img /mnt
can this work? Please, someone can tell me if this
seems right, before I roast in vain one billion
of CDs.
PS: is there some way to try if this all will
work before roasting the CD?
Thanks,
Nicola

Dear Peter,
a last word about the possibilty to make
an EXT2 filesystem on a CD-ROM.
Finally an hacker friend
of mine (hello Marco! :-)
hacked out the solution, I think.
It is quite well described in the
"CD-Writing-HOWTO".
There Winfried Trmper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
wrote, in FAQ 4.4:
[...]
4.4. "Isn't there some way to get around the iso9660 limitations?"
Yes. You can put any filesystem you like on the CD. But other
operating systems than Linux won't be able to deal with this CD.
Here goes the recipe:
Create an empty file of 650MB size.
# dd if=/dev/zero of="empty_file" bs=1024k count=650
Create an extended-2 filesystem on this file
# /sbin/mke2fs empty_file
empty_file is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
Mount this empty file through the loopback-devices
# mount -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop1 empty_file /mnt
Copy files to /mnt and umount it afterwards.
Use cdwrite or cdrecord on empty_file (which is no longer empty) as
if it were an iso9660-image.
[...]
This method indeed work and today a CD with a EXT2 filesystem
have been created.
First, but not last! :-)

Here my autofs configuration :
First edit /etc/auto.master :
================== /etc/auto.master ===================
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/.automount/floppy /etc/auto.floppy --timeout 1
/.automount/cdrom /etc/auto.cdrom --timeout 2
/.automount/zip /etc/auto.zip --timeout 1
#NFS filesystem
/.automount/djakarta/export /etc/auto.djakarta --timeout 600
/.automount/raya/export /etc/auto.raya --timeout 600
/.automount/kediri/export /etc/auto.kediri --timeout 600
Then edit the others (separate files <=> separate threads : if one is
blocked, others are not) :
================== /etc/auto.cdrom ===================
cdrom -fstype=auto,ro,user,suid :/dev/cdrom
================== /etc/auto.floppy ===================
floppy -fstype=auto,user,rw,noexec,sync :/dev/fd0
================== /etc/auto.zip ===================
zip -fstype=auto,user,rw,noexec,sync :/dev/sdb4
The edit the NFS filesystem autofs config file (if needed):
================== /etc/auto.raya ===================
jccf2 raya:/export/jccf2
jccf4 raya:/export/jccf4
jccf12 raya:/export/jccf12
jccf10 raya:/export/jccf10
jccf11 raya:/export/jccf11
================== /etc/auto.kediri ===================
jccf20 kediri:/export/jccf20
jccf21 kediri:/export/jccf21
================== /etc/auto.djakarta ===================
java djakarta:/export/java
jccf3 djakarta:/export/jccf3
jccf1 djakarta:/export/jccf1
Make directories :
[root@moucheron /boot]# tree -dx /.automount/
/.automount/
|-- cdrom
|-- djakarta
| `-- export
|-- floppy
|-- kediri
| `-- export
|-- raya
| `-- export
`-- zip
9 directories
[root@moucheron /boot]#
Make symlinks :
[root@moucheron cdrom]# tree -lx /mnt/ /net/
/mnt/
|-- cdrom -> /.automount/cdrom/cdrom
|-- floppy -> /.automount/floppy/floppy
`-- zip -> /.automount/zip/zip
/net/
/* This directory depends on your network architecture. Make symlinks on
NFS filesystems... */
[root@moucheron cdrom]#
Then use autofs : (Redhat 6.x)
[root@moucheron cdrom]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs
Usage: /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs {start|stop|restart|reload|status}
[root@moucheron cdrom]#
After a start, you can insert a cdrom, a zip or a floppy disk and use
it. When no processes are currently running on the support, it is
unmounted automatically after a delay given in auto.master allowing you
a safe eject.
If you want autofs at boot time, use linuxconf, or try manually in
/etc/rc* scripts...

Instead of answering your question directly, I'll make a suggestion.
Use a disc cataloging application. It keeps a local db of the files
and directories on all your external media. You can search for the
filename and it will tell you exactly which CD it appears on.
I use Mandrake and KDE. A default application was installed called
KDiscCat that works fine for me. I archive everything, and could
never live without a good catalog.

But, I am not sure whether to override the shutdown/reboot-programs

Are there such installable services anyway ?

This may be not the answer you were looking for but... the RH6.1 CD I
burned from the .iso file is bootable to start with. I booted my system
off of it.
If you burn yours with the raw image it should be ready to boot. The
images you were mentioning are floppy files to boot from.
Of course your PC needs to be capable to boot from CD, but I'm sure you
knew this.
Unless I got you all wrong...

This is the same thing holding me back from relaceing our NT server with
Linux. I like to use user-level security for the Win98 clients, but
Samba won't do that yet. What is everyone else doing? Are you using
share-level security or is everyone waiting to switch to Linux as a PDC
until Samba supports it?

When I attempt to access the comp.lang.python newsgroup via Netscape Navigator

c.l.p, I get the first few hundred bytes and then Netscape is done.
I concluded that something in the newsgroup cache was corrupt so I deleted it

Any other ideas?

Add an email script in your halt/shutdown/reboot runlevel directory. You can
do this without worrying. You won't break a thing. Make sure you have it run
as the very first script before vital services (sendmail and such) have been
killed.
As runlevels are not standard (i.e. Redhat's is different then SuSE's) check
the manpages for 'inittab' for the implementation details.

The printers are on a windoze network, not on a linux/*nix box. I am
running linux as a desktop on my laptop.
I will look over smb.conf when I get back to the university, however.
The things I THINK is involved, at least partly, are the file owner-
ship. Creating a samba printer in Mandrake requires you to be
(naturally) root/superuser. The problem MAY be that doing this
produces a printer in /var/spool/lpd/ that is group-owned by root
and all the printer files under .../lpd/lp, .../lpd/lp0, etc,
are also owned by root IN ADDITION to being all in group root.
I believe that at least some of them should be in group lp.
I will change group ownership this morning as well to see if
that changes anything for the better.

You can do this from the command line as:

Alternatively, you can set this in your Xresources file as a default:
xterm*font: 10x20
The xterm man page will answer many questions...

The perfered method for this problem IMHO is to pass the desired
address on the command line. This even works, if you have interfaces
with multiple IP addresses. It is the desired method, because in the
case of having multiple IP addresses, you can express exactly what you
want. You want the service to answer requests to a specific address,
so why not specify this address. A config file (if exists) is a good
place for this information, too.

Plan 9 replaced all those obscure functions by special files handling
commands in plain ASCII. I never have used it, myself, but it was
